Wei Chen (pilot)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Let's see, there are 4 references. The 1st is the official site of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the 3rd the official site of CCTV News, and the 4th the official site of Hunan Satellite TV. Not surprisingly, these 3 pages don't mention the individual at all. Only the second, the official site of a "Sunshine Enterprise", does, but the first sentence reads "Sunshine Enterprise, Inc., was founded in August 1998 in Memphis, Tennessee by Wei Chen"... self-promotion? The 2 external links are both related to the subject. Timmyshin (talk) 09:26, 23 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete, possible hoax. Sources provide no corroboration of information claimed on article. I can't find any other sources on the internet either. Deryck C. 19:09, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I don't think he's a hoax, since I found a few interviews on him on very specialized aviation websites like, but really not sure if these interviews are independent, or notable enough to establish notability. "First Chinese Citizen to circumnavigate the globe in a single engine plane" sounds impressive, but also a little trivial. There must be millions of "First Chinese citizen to..." in the world. I think we need someone familiar with aviation to take a look. Timmyshin (talk) 01:06, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
 * In that case, weak delete per WP:TNT unless someone wants to brush up the article. Deryck C. 22:19, 27 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as nothing currently convincing for the applicable notability. SwisterTwister   talk  05:21, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
