Zhang Bo

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't believe he has enough notability as a news anchor of an Arabic-language channel in China... (which I may add is just a Chinese government-owned PR/propaganda channel serving Middle Eastern/African countries). Everything else on the page: a volunteer in the Asian Games, top-10 finish in one city's division of a national singing contest... doesn't belong on Wikipedia by any stretch of imagination. There are 2 references. The first one is from Baidu Baike, the infamous Chinese version of Wikipedia that requires no sources, reliable or not — and not surprisingly that page cites nothing. The second reference is from CCTV, his employer, dated 2007 — before he started working there, and upon closer examination is just a "competitor profile" of an English-language competition for Chinese students. The first "external link" is a streaming webpage for the CCTV Arabic channel and really hasn't much to do with him. Timmyshin (talk) 01:50, 19 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete Maybe a hoax (article claims something with the 2013 Super Boy (contest) but never found at ZHWP's zh:2013快樂男聲 listing), or just extreme lack of notability. There are way more notable people for that exact Han character name (e.g. 1982-born actor zh:張博 (1982年出生) ) and even more when taking just the sound (e.g. historic figure Li Yan (Wu), who has a previous name 張播/Zhang Bo). For future reference, also note that Nlu started this as a redirect to that historic figure, only refactored to be about this news anchor by Corphine.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 03:24, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
