Wholesale City

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

The sources currently in this article are utterly inadequate, either irrelevant or unreliable.

"Affordable shopping" is about Kenanga Wholesale City, whose homepage is http://www.kenangacity.com.my/, not http://www.wholesale-dress.net/. Also, according to the page, Kenanga Wholesale City is "a development by KWC Sdn Bhd, a company within Kha Seng Group of Companies", completely unrelated to the subject of this article.
"A whirl of attractions at KWC" also is about Kenanga Wholesale City.
"Wholesale-dress.net: New Business Model of Fast Fashion" is a press release from PR Newswire.
"Wholesale-dress.net Benefits From Fast-growing Social Networking" is a press release from PR Newswire.
"Wholesale-dress.net Offering More Than Cheap Products" is a press release from PR Newswire.

I ran a Google search for "Wholesale City" "Hangzhou" and "Hangzhou Wholesale E-commerce", both of which retrieved zero results.

There are zero reliable sources that provide any coverage, let alone significant coverage, of this company.

Comment Did you check to see if there were any sources in Chinese? Sven Manguard Wha? 18:18, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- I actually didn't, so thanks for pointing that out. Unfortunately, looking at http://www.wholesale-dress.net/, I don't see a Chinese name that could be a plausible search term. I tried Google's "Translated foreign pages" feature, but searches for "Wholesale City" and "Hangzhou Wholesale E-commerce" retrieve nothing promising. Goodvac (talk) 22:33, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Self-promotional advertisement. I also could find no independent sources about the company. As the nominator stated, three of the sources given are merely reprints of the company's won press releases, and the other two are about a totally different company altogether. If the company is actually what the press releases say it is, there should be adequate information available in English. That there is none strongly suggests that the press releases are greatly exaggerated. Dominus Vobisdu (talk) 22:22, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - The sources I added when declining the prod (the first two in the above nomination) were about a different company, and I've removed them from the article. I apologize for the error. Northamerica1000^(talk) 03:42, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
