Event may arguably be notable, but very poorly written, and I think the arguable notability simply isn't quite enough to overcome that, nor is it improvable in my opinion. Delete. Nlu (talk) 06:30, 23 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I'm not so sure that "poorly-written" is an acceptable reason to delete an article. It wouldn;t take much effort to imrpove the prose; I'd do it myself but I don't read Mandarin 官话. Majoreditor (talk) 03:59, 26 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per my comments above. Majoreditor (talk) 17:02, 28 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
delete The lack of any English language sources makes the very title of the article highly questionable and essentially a bit of WP:OR. Mangoe (talk) 01:47, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Courcelles 02:29, 30 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have a feeling it might even be a hoax. The Mysterious El Willstro (talk) 04:26, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as failing WP:V. Most of the references in the article are 404s. Those that are not don't confirm the details in the article. --Michig (talk) 08:36, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
