things unless it's more like a 75% margin or more. Perhaps someone
erred?
Actually it was 14 delete votes to 8 keep votes, so 63% delete, which IS
a little on the low side, although the late addition of a reply from the
a Chinese Wikipedia editor (Duncharris asked them for advice), "Well, I
live in Hong Kong, and I've never heard of it", may have swayed the
admin's opinion.
See

for the discussion.
I personally would have left it on VFD for someone else to action, I too
prefer to only delete things with a 75%+ margin. I'll leave the
controversial stuff for people who have been admins longer than a few
months. :-)
