Move to wikinews?[edit]

Can't help thinking that the ICAC probe section would be a better fit at wikinews than here. I'm tying myself up in knots over tenses, the present tense fits best with a current and changing event, but doesn't sit well with an encyclopedic article.KTo288 (talk) 21:41, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Should not merge[edit]

The result was do not merge into Stephen Chan Chi Wan. -- DarkCrow^Caw 12:58, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This was originally in the Stephen Chan article until it was put into a new article. It could be expanded into much bigger size. It should not be merged. Whether anyone will expand it in the near future, maybe not. Benjwong (talk) 07:42, 1 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it could be expanded. But this article may be one of those articles that forever sits in a "could be expanded" state, while being a relatively small size. The article hasn't expanded since March, and the Chinese version of the article is not much bigger. I am leaning toward merging. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 13:32, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

... weak support on the merge due to WP:BIO1E. Tvtr (tlk–cntrbtn) 16:30, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Object against merge. Stephen Chan has already become notable for his talk-show before the corruption investigation. Although media coverage of the corruption investigation centred around Stephen Chan, he is but one of the many TVB officials involved in the scandal. Stephen Chan got much more media coverage only because of his prior notability, which ironically made Wikipedia editors think Stephen Chan was notable only for the scandal, and the scandal was notable only because of Stephen Chan. --Der yck C. 01:51, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is enough materials for a long article. For that reason it should not be merged. What is difficult is that the ICAC never fully came out with a final statement. Once the investigation went private, everything became unknown. Benjwong (talk) 02:42, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
