This article is effectively an extended advertisement for the company; it cites only the company website and a reuters profile of the company as sources; it is also unclear how notable the company is as subject matter. Familiae Watt§ (talk) 13:16, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, though I totally agree that this needs a complete rewrite. I can well believe that the company is one of the largest photo-voltaic producing companies in the word as China excels is this area (rather ironic given they held up Copenhagen... but I digress), and according to Forbes their CEO, Liansheng Miao, was 173rd on the Forbes Global China Rich List and 962nd on the Forbes World's Richest People. I think that a bit of digging might show that they are indeed notable. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 14:27, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
 * NoteThis article appears to be a near duplicate of Yingli. Throwaway85 (talk) 01:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * In that case, merge to Yingli and rewrite. Nice catch there Throwaway. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) talk 02:13, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Not much of a catch, I came across Yingli while huggling. I left a note on User_talk:靳亚杰 explaining the issues with the article, and noticed that they had created the article in question.  I've reported the user to WP:COIN, as it appears fairly obvious that they are an agent of Yingli.  We'll see what happens over there.  While I don't suspect the user will be helping us with the rewrite, there are a plethora of news articles on the company listed here.  I would be more than happy to assist in cleaning it up.

 * Well, in that case I have no objection to keeping the article then.... I listed it for deletion primarily because it was created as a promo and, if a grace period were given to the creator to modify the material, I felt that unlikely to happen (as the creator is clearly an employee of the company).

 * I CSD'd it for the same reasons. I'm thinking we merge this with Yingli, and I'll get cracking on the rewrite. Throwaway85 (talk) 06:51, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, their company name (and website) is Yingli Solar. Should we creat a new page and merge both articles to Yingli Solar?
 * Wait, wtf? Yingli Solar is already created, and yet another duplicate.  This is messy.  I suggest Yingli Solar be the main page and the others deleted as duplicates, or better yet replaced with redirects.  Are there any other permutations out there?

 * Yes, redirects will have to be used otherwise the employee will probably just come back and create the page all over again. Familiae Watt§ (talk) 07:43, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
