- Overturn/Relist-I know FfD doesn't typically involve as much discussion as other XfD processes, but when an editor makes a good faith objection to a deletion nomination and an admin proceeds to delete without addressing it at all, something is wrong.--Fyre2387 (talk • contribs) 13:42, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
The article was speedied twice so I would want to bring it here for discussion. Certainly not a hoax, and while for the subsequent recreation the quoted source was not the best this event has caused quite a stir in Taiwan: many high ranking army officials have been charged, and the scandal has reached to the extent the Defence Minister has tendered his resignation (but declined by the president). Chinese sources indicate that there's more than it meets the eye - too early to say that this article is not notable. Also consider the amount of content on the chinese version. Definitely not a speedy case.
- Sources: The Standard (Hong Kong) Taipei Times BBC Chinese Washington Post AFP China Post.
- Note: Should be renamed to Death of Chung-Chiu Hong if overturned. Mailer Diablo 08:16, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- Endorse my deletion. Wikipedia is not news. We had a similar event in Wales recently when two soldiers died. Did that reach Wikipedia? The event may prove to have lasting notability as Mailer Diablo claims but the article gave no indication of that. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 09:06, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
- I was the second admin to speedily delete the article, which I did pursuant to WP:CSD#A7. Whether the article could be notable is largely irrelevant on an A7. As RHaworth states, the issue is whether the article "indicates" that the "subject is important or significant." All the article said was a soldier died because of physical training during disciplinary confinement. Apparently, the soldier had been disciplined for bringing a camera phone onto the base. That doesn't even come close to making a claim of significance. I would also like to point out that yet a third admin, User:DGG, tagged the article for deletion.--Bbb23 (talk) 21:58, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
