These are all hoaxes, surely? -- RHaworth 10:38, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, it looks like a hoax. Google test doesn't show anything about BBC China in the context of television. Speedy delete. --Tinctorius 10:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete all. The Beeb does operate in China but these three articles look like prime tripe. tomasz. 11:41, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- These appear to be slightly befuddled accounts of the rebranding and the various hiatuses in the distribution of BBC World and BBC World Service Television in China, which we already document in the proper places. Uncle G 12:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete and I would have to concur with RHaworth's suggestion that it's a hoax. I think the line "BBC China was planned to be taken off air in order to make room for the new CBeebies" describes a situation that is nigh on impossible. While CBeebies is of course a domestic BBC channel in the UK, the thought that "BBC China" would be taken off air to be replaced with the Teletubbies is more than a bit unlikely.

- Delete I copyedited BBC China a while back to fix the broken English and did think the bit about CBeebies was somewhat dubious. The additional text that's been added since does tip it further towards hoax - Peter Sissons as anchor? Plus this. EliminatorJR Talk 00:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
