A slightly unusual one. The en.wiki article is a stub about a city councillor who I think would probably not pass WP:NPOL. However the zh.wiki article is massively refbombed with 106 sources. I am not sure about the reliability of some of them but in amongst all of this there may be a GNG pass. Hopefully someone familiar with the Taiwanese sources can shed some light.

• Keep. I added several sources. This politician has received significant coverage in reliable sources and meets the general notability guideline. --Neo-Jay (talk) 11:23, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article needs to be expanded, but there are many sources on the Internet to make the article pass WP:GNG since Wang Hao-yu is the first ever city councilor in special municipality to be recalled in the history of Republic of China [1]. Pan-green supporters also believed that the recalls (including Wang's) are "revenge recalls" of the recall vote of Han Kuo-yu last year [2]. Sun8908 _Talk 16:34, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Additional comment: The article creator also commented on the article talk page after the article was tagged {{notability}}. It's worth taking a look. Sun8908 _Talk 17:36, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Per my comments at Talk:Wang Hao-yu. Agree the article should be expanded, but those interested in recall law/thresholds will be interested in this individual. He is generally brought up as an example of a very borderline case where recall should probably have failed. DrIdiot (talk) 17:51, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per above! VocalIndia (talk) 06:12, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
