Advertorially toned WP:BLP of a performance artist and activist with no substantive or properly sourced indication of notability for either endeavour -- this is written like a prosified résumé, and sourced only to the topic's self-published content about themself with no indication of any reliable source coverage shown. As always, a person is not automatically entitled to an article just because they exist -- RS coverage supporting a proper claim of notability must be present for them to earn one. And for added bonus, the creator's username (IGR2016) suggests that this is most likely an WP:AUTOBIO (or at least somebody close enough to the subject to have a WP:COI.) Delete.

Delete - This article may have slipped by my watch (but it appears that a considerable amount of cruft was added to it after I accepted it). Without respect to notability, paid editing and copyvio are reasons for deletion. Robert McClenon (talk) 16:09, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Delete. She is not a professor, whatever she may choose to call herself: "Dr. Sanford is a clinical associate professor of management (specializing in law and ethics) at W. P. Carey School of Business.". That is, she's someone from the business community who teaches of few courses, not a member of the regular faculty. I cannot find her books on worldcat. She is not notable3, this is an advertisement, and I suggest speedy deletion as G11, It canl;t be cured by fixing the copyright. It amazes me that ASU let her post this on their website.

Diablo sandwich

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This does not strike me as a notable topic; one notices the lack of sourcing, even the lack of a basic description, which boils down to "something that was on a menu in a movie". I don't think this passes the GNG, and I invite the participants from the talk page discussion from last year to participate: Ibadibam, OmikronWeapon, Froglich. Drmies (talk) 18:16, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Merge to Smokey and the Bandit – I have seen no evidence that this sandwich exists outside the one-minute passage in which it appears in Smokey and the Bandit. All other mentions I have found are in reference to the movie. But the fact that it was discussed in cable TV show is worth mentioning in a "cultural legacy" section, along with the film's effect on Trans Am sales and other cultural impacts. Ibadibam (talk) 20:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Oppose. While inadequately sourced (one RS at present), this low-importance article concerning an inoffensive subject is harmless in its present state with tags at the top awaiting future improvement. I don't think merging into "Smokey" is appropriate as that'd necessarily entail a larger fraction of space in that article than it rates in the film (where it exists as a prop for one of Jackie Gleason's more quotable lines). The movie is almost forty years old, but culinary interest in what a "diablo sandwich" really is (or was) continues to this day. As the Roadfood source makes clear, a diablo sandwich was an actually existent regional entree rather than script fiction. --Froglich (talk) 21:57, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- See WP:HARMLESS. The sources we have don't demonstrate notability so much as they just postulate ingredients based on what was depicted in the film. The RoadFood post makes no conclusion as to whether or not the diablo sandwich exists outside of the film. To this day, we have not one menu, not one advertisement, not one source of any kind that mentions this sandwich as anything other than something in this movie, nor do we have anything that actually documents enduring culinary interest – just a few forum posts and a movie food trivia show. If it's not significant enough to be mentioned in the film article, how could it be significant enough to have its own article? Ibadibam (talk) 01:45, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Merge to Smokey and the Bandit, which presently does not mention the topic. The topic has received minor coverage, but not nearly enough to qualify a standalone article. North America 12:02, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Merge or Redirect as it clearly fails GNG on its own. --Sammy1339 (talk) 22:54, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Merge to Smokey and the Bandit. I admit that I was waiting to see what Northamerica1000 said, but I was already strongly leaning toward a merge. I see a few trivial mentions scattered about, such as this, but there isn't enough to establish notability here. Redirect is alright, too. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:13, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Merge to Smokey and the Bandit or Delete. The sources, most of which are blogs or other, non reliable sources, all reference the movie. I can't find independent, reliable sources that predate the movie. Perhaps as part of an otherwise notable movie, this is worth inclusion. If not for the movie, the sandwich is more like something made up. Geoff | 22:15, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Dalfsen train crash

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Looking at the victims (1 dead, 2 wounded hospitalised, 4 treated on the spot) and the fact that it is only a minor railway line (not a main line) a not notable accident. No disaster whatsoever. The Banner talk 17:24, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Keep - firstly, I do not claim it to be a "disaster". The Zwolle-Emmen line at 75 kilometres (47 mi), cannot be called a "minor railway" either. There is more to this than meets the eye at first glance. The crane had waited for one train to pass before crossing, and then started to cross the line before it was struck by a second train. Apparently the crane was only crossing at a very slow speed (less than walking pace?). This was a single-track stretch of line, although double between Zwolle and Dalfsen, presumably the two trains crossed there. The accident has been widely reported in the UK, Netherlands, USA, India etc. WP:GNG is met in spades. Note that the nominator has also !voted for deletion of the equivalent article on nl-Wiki. Mjroots (talk) 17:36, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- Is every train accident with one deadly victim suddenly notable? The Banner talk 18:07, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
  - Not necessarily. However, a lack of, or low number of fatalities ≠ a lack of notability. IMHO, it is the circumstances that give this one notability. I don't know the full facts yet. Was the level crossing on a public or private right of way? In the UK, on a public right of way a telephone is provided so that drivers of very slow vehicles ≥5mph can get permission to cross. Some private crossings are so supplied. Even so, this does not always prevent accidents. Hopefully, details will become clearer in the coming few days. Mjroots (talk) 18:17, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
  - (edit conflict) I don't usually participate in deletion discussions on this project, so I might be horribly mistaken, but surely notability of an event (or specifically a train accident) isn't measured by the amount of deadly victims? At least not according to WP:GNG. Woodcutterty (talk) 18:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Intelligent haunting

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This seems to be an attempt to promote a neologism or at best a dictionary definition. Of the three sources, Google Books says that two don't even mention the term. Guy (Help!) 16:53, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete (or Merge with quantum electrodynamic haunting).- Someone put some words together that have superficially-plausible meaning, and then some other people thought it made them sound like serious researchers so they used the same neologism.

Keep In this diff I have listed some potential sources on the article talk page. Checking the logs for the page I see an unreferenced article by this name was deleted in 2007, so I began my search for sources looking specifically for ones that pre-date 2007 to avoid circular referencing issues. I found evidence of its use among "paranormal researcher" types dating back at least to 2001 and evidence of its use in ghost fiction at least as far back as 2004. I found at least one book that begins to meet reliable source standards and can be used to begin to re-write this article. I found evidence of a page describing the concept published on the Appalachian Paranormal Center website as far back as 2002, and the current page there is an extensive treatment of it, which is also a usable reference, though it should be treated with caution (seems to be written and maintained by a pair of paranormal investigators or ghost hunters; I'd have to do more research on them before I could state with confidence that it's a RS). I found an excellent article in the South Jersey Times which is also a RS and gives an in-depth treatment. The South Jersey Times article does not pre-date the Knowledge page, but given the other results that do I am confident in asserting that this is not a neologism which has made its way from Knowledge into the mainstream. Over the next few days I'll see if I can't re-work the article into something more acceptable. ~ ONUnicornproblem solving 21:27, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

You need to read the sources you're suggesting building an article around. "PARANORMAL CORNER with Kelly Roncace" is not a WP:RS by any stretch of the imagination. - LuckyLouie (talk) 21:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

@LuckyLouie: Oh? An article in a mainstream regional newspaper by a staff features writer isn't an reliable source by any stretch of the imagination? Maybe in that case, it's not the source I need to read, maybe I need to re-read WP:RS. However, having re-read WP:RS, and more specifically WP:NEWSORG just now, the only caution I see that would apply to this article is the one on avoiding circular sourcing, which I already addressed. Going back to your suggestion to read the source (which I did do, btw), I notice that it follows a typical feature article/lifestyles article story arc, and she defines term "intelligent haunting" in her own words in the fifth through seventh paragraphs making reference first to ghost stories and movies, then to paranormal investigators. She then goes on to back her assertions with quotes and anecdotes from her interview with a local paranormal investigator. She then goes on to discuss residual hauntings, which most of the sources I have seen, and the article itself as it stands, contrasts with intelligent hauntings. It seems to be a fairly typical article of its type, and seems to meet the standards for sources imposed in WP:NEWSORG. Your comment made me wonder if, perhaps, she is a columnist who restricts her column to paranormal stuff, but clicking the link for her bio on the newspaper's website I see she describes herself as a "a Lifestyles reporter" and has written about not only the local paranormal scene, but also Ringling Brother's Circus, a local teacher winning "Chopped", new stores coming into a local outlet mall, a local bakery, a tatoo artist convention... in other words, nothing that leads me to believe she is anything less than a staff reporter who writes for the lifestyles section of the paper. So how does this not meet Knowledge's standards at WP:NEWSORG? ~ ONUnicornproblem solving 22:08, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

It is framed in the same terms as a horoscope, and is as reliable as a horoscope as a source. Which means, in case it was not blindingly obvious, not reliable at all. Knowledge is a reality-based project and we use reality-based sources. Guy (Help!) 23:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Generally speaking though, horoscopes in the newspaper are not written by staff journalists. This is more akin to if a newspaper wrote an article on terms used in astrology, and interviewed a local astrologer to define the terms. It would then be a reliable source for demonstrating how the term is used in astrology. I am not proposing to write an article claiming that intelligent haunting exists, just as if we were discussing an astrological term I would not propose to say that astrology and horoscopes are valid predictions of the future or of a person's personality traits. I am proposing to write an article on the concept of intelligent hauntings, as opposed to other types of hauntings, and how the term(s) is used in fiction and in paranormal circles. This seems to me like a perfectly acceptable source for that. ~ ONUnicornproblem solving 23:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Weekly columns written by reporters who believe in ghosts aren't considered independent reliable sources to describe ghosts. - LuckyLouie (talk) 23:49, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Weak Delete There appears to be some notability, however I'm not convinced it meets WP:GNG, greatest claim to fame appears to be that he was Australian Muay Thai Cruiserweight Champion in 1995; none of the sporting achievements appear to meet WP:NSPORT.

The result was delete. Putting aside the question of the number of Google hits, which is an argument to avoid in deletion discussions, there is consensus that the secondary sources/3rd party sources that are needed to demonstrate that the subject meets Knowledge's inclusion criteria are lacking.

Pierre Jovanović

The argument according to which a "Pierre Jovanović" Google search only gives 162 results is a particularly dishonest one. The accentuated "ć" character is NOT used in France or in French. The same Google search conducted with a plain "c" instead of a "ć" gives 234 000 results. Pierre Jovanovic is a well-known French writer, polemicist and financial analyst. He has published many best-selling books. His French page is regularly attacked because of his dissenting views on politics or on financial matters. - preceding comment added by 82.224.192.226 in Revision as of 12:25, 28 February 2016
- I noted the inappropriateness of the Google count in AfD. Yet, to answer the accusation of dishonesty, no, there isn't 234 000 results: you have to go to the last page to get the real count, 234 000 is only a rough estimate, the real count drops around 200. It's only 207 for example for "Pierre Jovanovic" with a plain c. The results seem very similar for the two queries by the way. --Dereckson (talk) 13:32, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Weak delete: The subject continues to be active journalistically (with contributions to the Equality and Reconciliation site: ) and does have books translated into languages other than French (though I would want to see independent evidence for best-seller status rather than just the introduction to a website interview). However I am not seeing the reliable 3rd party coverage needed to meet the biographical notability criteria. AllyD (talk) 08:57, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

- @IJA: The Truth on Kosova comes from a publisher I can't find anything about so it might be self-published, which goes against WP:SPS. Albaniapress.com makes no claim of being a news outlet. Botasot and Express are both aping the interviews done by Liman Rushiti and I can't speak to NPOV because there's a lot of partisanship in that part of the world.

While some WP:SIGNIFICANCE is credibly asserted, I don't think this artist passes the test for having received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. There are no doubt many highly talented artists and art teachers who nevertheless do not met the notability criteria.

Keep Needs heavy cleaning and sources to be added but article subject seems to be worthy, considering it's a popular series with 9 entries: Professor Layton. The Professor Layton#Setting and characters is a stub with this being linked to as the main article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 10:59, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
- The series is popular, sure, but that doesn't mean the characters automatically are. Looking up "professor layton characters" in the custom Google WP:VG/RS search engine, I got some results. Siliconera briefly described how the characters were voiced by TV personalities. Eurogamer has good piece on the development of the series, but the information on the characters can easily be part of the main article. Another Siliconera piece described the characters. An interview with the voice actor of Professor Layton was held by NintendoLife, perhaps somewhat useful. GamesRadar has a fluff piece on video game characters you don't want as real-life friends, including Professor Layton. Siliconera again says Professor Layton suprisingly wasn't in the top 10 fan-favorite Level-5 characters. I think these couple of sources do not merit a character article by its own, but they can easily be part of the main article. soetermans. 12:18, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

However, that is a fairly specific search term. I think people rather search for the character itself. On Knowledge, outside of this article, there is little information about the characters, with instead only brief defined aspects. Thus if you were to search for the character you would be lead to this list, would you not? Thus any search for the character is to be a counted as a search for this article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:01, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

If someone would be looking for the character, there's already Professor Hershel Layton. Like you say, there's little information on the other characters, so why does it have its own article? It can easily be reintegrated into the main article. soetermans. 13:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I apologize for being unclear there but I didn't mean Layton the character when I wrote "character itself" but any character in specific the searcher is interested in. I think it's a fairly common practice to separate the character list as its own article from the main article. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 13:22, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Well, only if the characters are notable and are properly sourced. There was a long discussion at WP:VG that lead to the inclusion of WP:VGSCOPE No. 6:

Lists of characters lacking secondary sourcing: Following from the above, excessive in-game details on characters is strongly discouraged. Standalone lists of video game characters are expected to be (1) written in an out-of-universe style with a focus on their concept, creation, and reception, and (2) cited by independent, secondary sources to verify this information. While character lists can include some plot summary specific to the character, these plots should not be rehashes of the video game(s) in which they appear but instead broad strokes that simplify the plots of individual games. If these requirements cannot be met, it is instead more appropriate to reduce the list to one to three paragraphs of prose within the "Plot" or "Synopsis" section of the game or series article. It is almost never appropriate to create a standalone list of characters that appear within a single video game as these can be described in the game's article.

That's why List of Mercenaries characters was deleted and List of Mafia characters was redirected. While there are 9 games in the Professor Layton series, I can't find multiple reliable sources on the creation and reception of the other characters. soetermans. 13:33, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I haven't seen that discussion before. This is a very recent development. But I looked at some of the character lists not named for deletion there: Lists of video game characters. The sources used on those lists are incredibly general voice acting listings and such. You'd have to pretty much delete every single video game character list there is. In addition the other lists named at the discussion have very unnotable characters compared to this series. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 18:20, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

I've added some basic sources to begin with but I think I can find sources for many of these descriptions if I just spend enough time. Reviews and storyline summarizing articles will do well, I've found a few reviews where some of these characters are described. I think this article just needs some heavy WP:CLEANUP. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 19:46, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

List of albums awarded Best New Music by Pitchfork Media

AfDs for this article:

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

There is no signficant coverage by third-party sources of this topic (these few paragraphs by The L Magazine appear to be it, and this article is made up of nothing else but 549 citations to Pitchfork Media reviews). While Pitchfork itself is notable, WP:NOTINHERIT applies here. This isn't notable outside of the publication. The existence of other articles with similar issues of third-party coverage (as brought up in the first AfD) is irrelevant per WP:OTHERSTUFF. Simply put, to be considered significant coverage in reliable sources, it really needs coverage outside of just Pitchfork Media. If the Pitchfork list is being mentioned elsewhere, then the list concept is notable; if not, no.

The past discussion resulted in no consensus; two editors voted delete per the above reasons, one editor voted to keep this article because they were not familiar with WP:NOTINHERIT, and another who voted to keep the article was the main contributor to the article who only offered this student research paper from Brown University as a response. Another editor then erroneously claimed it was an academic source and Knowledge accepts such sources. WP:SCHOLARSHIP is clear about academic sources being reliable and scholarly only when they have been peer-reviewed, and that student paper for some economics class has not been vetted.

Nothing in the way of reliable third-party coverage has been added to this article since the first AfD. Dan56 (talk) 03:54, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

So I had a look at the Russian Knowledge's article: the two references provided there are both reviews of albums— the first has no link at all but purports to be from a publication called "Dark City Magazine" volume 60 (that's its official name— there is no Russian equivalent given). I was able to find http://dark-city.ru/, which I suspect is the target site, but when I searched on the keyword "Jane" none of the 19 results were for issue #60 and almost all of them were for Jane's Addiction (none of them were for Jane Air). Since "Jane Air" is the way the band's name is phrased on the Russian Knowledge, I take this to mean that this is how it is being used in Russian (I am not sure how to write it in Cyrillic and not even the Russian Knowledge article will tell me). The second reference does have a link— I followed it, and read the article. It is three paragraphs that essentially say, "This is some nice music"— it doesn't look like it says anything material about the band, and I didn't see any evidence that the publisher, "Icon" (that's it's name in Russian) functions with editorial oversight (which means it most likely fails reliability). The Ukrainian Knowledge article has no references at all, and only has external links to the band's official website, official fan website, and something from Last.fm, which turns out only to be a link to another Knowledge article on the Ukrainian Knowledge. It looks to me like there's enough circular nothing here to feel confident standing by my proposal. It seems like it shouldn't have to be this difficult to defend the deletion of something this deletable. But there you have it. Like fish hitting ice, as they say in Russia. KDS4444 21:04, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

Comment I was clearing out old stuff in my house this weekend, and turns out I own a copy of Jane Air's eponymous second album. I haven't a clue where I got it, and after playing two tracks I'm not a fan (if I ever was). Which isn't a reference citation of course, but it means I can confirm the band name is written in Latin letters, not Cyrillic, and the album was released on Kapkan Records. Which led me to this: suggesting the label, at least, is notable. Does that count for anything much? Note that I barely understand Russian, and a native speaker should do better at researching this. 94.12.79.130 (talk) 19:10, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

WP:BLP of a musician, with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC and no strong evidence of reliable source coverage: of the 41 sources here, nearly all of them are to social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest or Instagram, his own primary source content about himself, non-notable blogs or the websites of directly affiliated organizations -- and the few citations that do actually count as reliable source coverage are, right across the board, to his own hometown newspaper (and even some of them are supporting non-notable sports endeavours, like junior hockey, that don't pass WP:ATHLETE either.) It may just be WP:TOOSOON for a person who has the potential to eventually qualify for a Knowledge article -- I have actually heard of the guy before, because the "associated acts" in his infobox really truly ain't lyin', so the potential for him to get over the bar in the future does exist -- but this, as written, is not the article or the sourcing that gets him there.

Article about a band with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC, and no particularly strong evidence of reliable source coverage to get them over WP:GNG: of the three sources here, one is the band's own self-penned PR bio on CBC Music's "bands get to repost their own PR bios" section; one is a 100-word blurb wrapped around an embedded YouTube performance video; and one is an album review on a music website (Blurt) that might be an acceptable reliable source if the rest of the sourcing around it were better, but cannot carry WP:GNG in and of itself as the article's only acceptable source. (And no, for the record, the existence of the CBC Music profile does not in and of itself constitute proof that they've gotten over NMUSIC #11 by getting playlisted on the CBC -- that section's open to any Canadian band at all that wants to make a song or two available for streaming, regardless of whether R2 or R3 has put them into rotation or not.)

Full disclosure: I'm the original creator, back in 2005 when our notability and sourcing rules were very different than they are today. Under today's wikistandards, however, nothing here constitutes sufficient notability under WP:NMUSIC and none of it is reliably sourceable -- in a ProQuest Canadian Newsstand Major Dailies search, the obituary of one founding member who has his own standalone biography (and probably shouldn't anymore, for the same reasons) is literally the only substantive hit I get outside of local concert listings in the Toronto Star. So it wasn't an unreasonable creation at the time -- but our notability and sourcing rules have been (quite rightly) tightened up a lot in the past decade, and this band now falls on the wrong side of that evolution.

Declined at draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Draft:Miljenko_Horvat&oldid=693623824) but the decline was blanked by the creator and the article moved to mainspace.

Delete as my searches found nothing better at all and the current article is not convincing enough. SwisterTwister talk 07:00, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
Delete, absence of substantial coverage in reliable sources, i.e. does not meet WP:GNG. GregorB (talk) 11:21, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

The result was Speedily Deleted by Jimfbleak. There were this AfD and a speedy delete tag at the same time for some reason. The name is blue due to a redirect added after the speedy delete. (non-admin closure) Mr. Magoo (talk) 18:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

This is not a very notable weekly. Prof TPMS (talk) 00:17, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Redirect China Business Network didn't seem to have any kind of article but the other mentioned Shanghai Media Group does. According to these 1 and 2, China Business Network is just some sort of a closely-managed daughter company of SMG for the operation of business news. After limiting my search to the Weekly, I were only able to find mentions of people working for the Weekly: 3 and 4; not much else. Both a mention of CBN as well as of CBNW could be added to the SMG article. But since the original article text is unsourced and untraceable, it's useless and delete-worthy. In all of these matters an understanding of the native language would probably help the most... --Mr. Magoo (talk) 01:11, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Thank you dear Mr. Magoo. Redirect looks the best available option. Regards, --Prof TPMS (talk) 01:55, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Additional Comment I noticed that CBN was in fact listed at SMG as a red link. I looked more into CBN instead of Weekly and discovered that CBN is somewhat notable. Numerous Western business journals reported on Alibaba Group purchasing 30% of CBN's stock. However in that article there was also a mention of "China Business News Paper", which really confused me. I guess Weekly really is a "magazine" and CBN Paper a classic newspaper. But continuing on, other than from the Alibaba stock purchase, I weren't able to find articles about CBN. I found some crediting random news stories to CBN. Before this I were beginning to think CBN might be worth its own article but after I couldn't find any more I gave up on that and instead I added a big bit with all the Alibaba sources to SMG. The introduction about CBN ties in nicely with the Alibaba stock purchase. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 02:48, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
Dear Mr. Magoo, You are very good in investigating things especially in places like China where it is a little bit tough. Taking into account the language barrier, we can withdraw the deletion tag and let it continue with a "No References" maintenance tag. Regards, Prof TPMS (talk) 03:19, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Prof TPMS, I think you may have thought I were pro keeping this article. The strongest reason I'm for redirecting to Shanghai Media Group#History is that this article's not about China Business Network but CBN Weekly. We don't even have an article about CBN yet. CBN might be worth an article, but the easiest action was to simply add a short note about CBN to Shanghai Media Group. I now even made a redirect for China Business Network. So, I do think the CB Network might be worth its own article but its crime is that I weren't able to find other articles about it specifically other than from June 2015 concerning Alibaba stock purchase. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 12:29, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Other reason I'm a bit wary of a CBN article is that there apparently exist two other entitites with the same English name: China BN - China Business Network and "PWC's" China Business Network. The reason behind this likely is that the original SMG's China Business News is named that in Chinese and its name is easily translated as China Business News, but since it hasn't really pushed for the English market it hasn't yet monopolized the name. Now in my searches I were able to find this article as well: Global Business News. It's a CBN TV program. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 12:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Delete is the only option available. Mr. Magoo, you can go for it. Regards, Prof TPMS (talk) 12:36, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Redirect and delete are two different votes. People participating in this discussion also can't close it. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 12:44, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Well it seems like it had a speedy delete tag and it was speedily deleted. At this point even involved can close... However I can add the redirect afterwards so the name might show up as blue again. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 18:39, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
