Proposed deletion of Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA

Hello, Friesehamburg. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

1. edit the page
2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 11:05, 20 November 2016 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

1. Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Friesehamburg. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Proposed deletion of Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 21:07, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

• Keep and require further improvement.

Dear Prof. Kudpung, I agree the article was not initially written in an objective and neutral fashion, i.e., having some peacock terms and POV. After all, the article was created a week ago and editors are inexperienced. Hence may I suggest to keep the article while we continue improving it in the next several days? We already deleted the terms that we believe you found subjective, and we will continue to refine the article further in the coming days. If you think that the page contains wrong or non-notable information, please help us by identifying the passage or language of concern, and we will attempt to revise in a satisfactory manner.

Regarding notability of educational program, our conclusion seems to vary from yours, and we hope that you will give additional consideration in your analysis. Whether or not a subject is notable does not, from our vantage point, depend exclusively on its form, but largely upon public awareness of it. In fact, I searched Wikipedia and found different articles for other programs that seem to bear a similar level of uniqueness. For the Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA, the program itself represents a collaboration between two well established universities in China and the U.S. - not simply a program entirely devised by a single Eastern or Western institution. Please also note that we cited contents from reputable external sources including People Daily, Bloomberg, Financial Times, etc. I hope these sources can serve as good indicators for notability, although a variety of additional sources do exist in non-English publications.

In reply to "meatpuppets with a COI". We disclosed previously on your talk page that we are alumni of the program. I was not aware of Wikipedia's COI policy before so here is a full disclosure: We are students or graduates of the program. We do not receive compensation or have been instructed by Tsinghua School of Economics and Management for creating and editing the article. The article is created voluntarily in the good faith to faciliate giving information. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize that we are only the collector of the information, not the publisher. Everything we mention is originally not written by ourselves and cited from mainstream media and MBA specific sources. Friesehamburg (talk) 09:13, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA. We do not use the talk pages of these AfD deletion discussions. The voting and commenting takes place on the voting page only. If you wish to clear up a few points, you are most welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tsinghua-MIT Global MBA, where the shorter your comment is, the more likely the community is to accord it full attention, and after 7 days will decide what to do. Note however, that WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep an article. Notability is determined by Wikipedia per WP:ORG and other WP:NOTABILITY criteria, and not by a subject's popularity.
