The result was Delete. This debate has raised some very interesting points, all of which are valid. Essentially, it comes down to whether or not this article constitutes original research and a particular point of view, both of which are policies which we hold in the highest regard, and that we always fall back to, when dealing with articles that may or may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. Reading this discussion has lead me to believe consensus agrees that the article in and of itself is not neutral and thus should be removed from Wikipedia. However, there has been mention that this article contains valuable information that could be used elsewhere (primarily, Hukou). Thus, I am closing this debate as delete, but I will restore to user space on request, so relevant information can be merged if need be. ^demon[omg plz] 19:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Endorse deletion. I realize that this is one of those AfDs that will undoubtedly be sent to DRV within the hour, no matter which way it is closed. Furthermore, despite the incivil tone by both sides throughout this discussion, there have been a number of good points brought up by the two sides.
I would like to address comments related to specific editors first. The accusation has been brought forth by multiple editors of a POV on behalf of contributors from WikiProject Israel, stating that their creation of this article is an WP:POINT disruption. This is not relevant. This is a debate about the article, not the editors. Furthermore, as Jayjg has stated, WP:POINT is not a basis for deletion, as it relates to user behavior. As such, if you wish to take action against said editors, an RfC is a more appropriate outlet, since AfD can't block, reprimand or ban.
Now, the actual article. It is true, as many editors have pointed out, that it is well-sourced and well-written. However, this does not automatically excuse an article; WP:SYNTH's existence logically infers that even the best of articles can advance a viewpoint. The NPOV/POV of this article is what is at the heart of the matter, but even so, few arguments have been made that can effectively dispute the synthesis. This leads me to the technical aspects. Sure, as I've said, it's well-sourced and well-written, but this article is not well planned. There is little to no cohesion between the subjects discussed in the article. There is no flow between the sections. In other words, there's a lack of the big picture. As such, the concerns about WP:SYNTH are vaild.
But is this even the best way to present this information? With the synthesis established, it would make more sense to merge the information to the relevant articles. Lothair of the Hill People's assessment of where to merge the material is accurate; the main article for hukou is a far better place for that heading's information. The other appropriate information should be merged to Human rights in China, Allegations of apartheid and Tibet Autonomous Region.
Therefore, Merge and delete. (Note: ^demon beat me in an edit conflict, hence my endorsement) Hemlock Martinis 19:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
