Promotional page with no credible sources and doesn’t mean notability guidelines Australianblackbelt (talk) 14:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

• The promotional silliness can be fixed with some bold chopping, and I've added a very excellent article from China Daily in 2009. I can only assume there may be excellent coverage in Chinese as well, and so would be hesitant at this point to recommend deletion. Of course WP:CORPDEPTH is harsher than WP:GNG, but I think we don't need to bring down the hammer when there's national coverage. If the other sources don't add to enough, I would recommend a merge with wing chun or founder Leung Ting, not full deletion. JamieWhat (talk) 15:24, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect To Leung Ting I read the China daily the article is about Leung Timg it doesn’t make it pass WP:CORPDEPTH Jaxbrother (talk) 16:42, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
• Comment Look at William Cheung’s Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association it is simply mentioned in Cheung’s article, it doesn’t have it’s own page even though it is more notable than Ting’s. Australianblackbelt (talk) 17:17, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

@JamieWhat do you realize the subject claims to have 2000 clubs and 1,000,000 students, this is ridiculous. Jaxbrother (talk) 07:20, 22 January 2020 (UTC)

• Comment Ip Chun’s Ving Tsun Athletic Association is the largest for Wing Chun and it has no article not to mention William Cheung’s Global Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Association has none, Leung Ting is using this article for propaganda the whole thing a a massive exaggeration. There is nothing to discuss here sorry. Australianblackbelt (talk) 18:45, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
• Redirect to Leung Ting I have not found significant independent coverage of this organization to show it meets any notability criteria. There is no supporting evidence for the claim of having a million students and I find the claim unlikely to be true. However, although there is nothing to support having a standalone article on this organization, I would think a redirect to its founder is reasonable. Papaursa (talk) 02:08, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
