Sung Chi-li

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

References are numerous, but the majority are either from his own website sungchili.com (over 80 links) or ancient books like Book of Changes and Gospel of Luke which couldn't have mentioned him. Even the 16th-century novel Journey to the West is one of the references. The subject may be notable (or notorious) judging from the zh.wiki article, but this article is nothing more than WP:LINKFARM, WP:PROMOTION, WP:NOTWEBHOST and has been this way for many many years. There's clearly WP:COI too as the page creator uploaded a personal legal document proving he wasn't guilty. Best to delete per WP:TNT. Timmyshin (talk) 23:07, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete I found this, which is two sentences confirming the court case references. While I'm normally in favor of keeping articles that have potential for improvement, this one would have to be extensively trimmed--Nom is correct that the vast majority of the refs are useless, as is most of the content, even if sourced.

 * Undecided (To be changed): I was going to say delete because this person looks like a cult personality and the website has laughably bad photoshopped images but now I'm reminded about Falun gong whose leader Li Hongzhi has an article entry. Question is, if the article can be improved, would it be worth keeping if the article will bring trouble of defamation against a living person? Surely nobody believes Sung Chi-li's claims of having supernatural powers and abilities to be in different places at the same time. I will try to clean up the article without exerting too much effort in case the article gets decided for deletion. &mdash; Czgsq (talk) 12:32, 9 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination Per excellent work by User:Czgsq which establishes notability/notoriety. "Surely nobody believes Sung Chi-li's claims of having supernatural powers and abilities to be in different places at the same time." I disagree.

 * Keep - seems to be a figure of some note, and plenty of references for him, including the Taipai times. In any case, the nominator has withdrawn the nomination. Deathlibrarian (talk) 05:37, 13 May 2017 (UTC)
