QQ.com?

[edit]

@Deryck Chan: Regarding these edits. First, regarding the link you removed, typically we don't just remove dead links but rather find an archived version or tag them with Template:Dead link. However, when I found the archived version I saw that it's only a video. Videos are tough in that regard, because the video itself usually isn't archived and thus there's no good way to retrieve it. So no issue from me with its removal. The more important question is what source(s) you're drawing from for some of those additions (e.g. affiliation with the Communist party)? My assumption is that you read Chinese and see something the Google Translation does not manage to catch. Do we know if qq.com is a reliable source? I thought it was a social media site, making it equivalent to sourcing to someone's Twitter or FaceBook page, but I don't know and I don't see any discussion at WP:RSN on the subject. If it's other sources, could you move them around so the source is next to the statement. It often doesn't matter, but especially with WP:BLPs it's important to be clear about where statements come from. Thanks! — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:39, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"Affiliated with the Communist Party of China as a student" was my paraphrased translation of "学生党员" - literally "student party member" - from source 4, qq.com. Yes it's right to question the reliability of information hosted on qq. In this case, the publisher is 腾讯娱乐 (Tencent Entertainment). The relationship between Tencent news and QQ is like that between MSNBC and MSN, so I'd take that as a reliable source unless contradicted. However, it's okay to remove the claim if you're uncomfortable with it on the grounds of BLP concerns. Deryck C. 17:33, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the explanation. No, I'm content to leave that up to you. If it's sourced and there's reason to think the source as reliable, it would have to be a pretty serious statement to require additional sources. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 17:39, 9 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
