Fails WP:BLP1E and WP:BIO1E, and hence WP:N. Of two references used, one is from the "Chinese Human Rights Defenders" website, which fails WP:RS as it is not a WP:NPOV source. -- 李博杰 | —Talk contribs email 06:20, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: No information beyond a name except from the CHRD advocacy website, where every student is a "student leader" and every detainee is "criminally detained". The reference from AsiaNews (a self-styled Catholic missionary website) is just a passing reference; name-dropping for a nobody. Quigley (talk) 06:37, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Not notable enough. Mentioned with other names in some news sources and no background to the person whatsoever. Zlqq2144 (talk) 07:18, 17 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep: Complies to WP:N, he was a leader in the 1989 pro-democracy movement, a co-founder of the unrecognized Social Democratic Party, and now he is arrested during the 2011 Chinese protests. Meanwhile there have been added more references complying to WP:RS, hence the article about this activist should stay. — Waikiki_lwt Talk | contribs | email 08:47, 20 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong Keep Passes WP:N. This AfD is part of an attempt by certain editor(s) to remove material that is negative to the Communist Party of China. --Reference Desker (talk) 08:06, 21 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Reference Desker, you will continue to lose the trust of editors that meet you so long as you throw such slimy accusations at others. –HXL's Roundtable and Record 20:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per sources added after nomination, meets WP:GNG via CNN, NYDN sources. --joe deckertalk to me 18:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to some appropriate article about recent events in China. Even in the sources now added, Ding Mao is only mentioned as a dissident who has been arrested, but there is nothing about him apart from that mention. This is not enough to support a biographical article per WP:BIO. The article can be restored if Ding Mao is covered by reliable secondary sources in some depth. Sandstein 07:30, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, definitely not a BLP1E as explained above. Also, whether a biased source is reliable depends on the kind of information it's sourcing. - filelakeshoe 14:31, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep. Current version of article refutes all the nominator's claims. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 17:49, 25 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:HEY - it is now well-sourced and proves some notability. Bearian (talk) 03:40, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - well sourced and clearly notable.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:45, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect at best per Sandstein's comment. –HXL's Roundtable and Record 20:56, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
