"Carp scale" renders 0 online result about him beyond WP. Page is an orphan and only links to 1 page (to a TV cartoon that inspired his pen name), no notability is shown, not to mention the Chinglish. Despite plenty of edits, the creator User:Iswnw is essentially a WP:SPA. The Chinese and Min Nan pages were all similarly created this month by a WP:SPA, what a coincidence.

- Spam or gibberish? That is the question but the answer is a plain delete -- Vituzzu ( talk) 12:53, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
- Delete. Makes no credible claim to passing any Wikipedia inclusion criterion, but rather looks to be based on the classic fallacy that anybody who exists at all is automatically entitled to have an article on here. Note also that the creator also created duplicate versions at the titles Carps scales and Carps scale; both of them have now been redirected to this one, but it was worth mentioning because they (as well as Carp scales, at which this page was originally created before being moved to the current title) will have to be deleted as well.

- Three comments: first the notability question might not matter since this is apparently a case of G5 speedy deletion (created by a blocked user in defiance of the block). As for the notability, I'd like to make sure that the links currently in the article are too weak to meet WP:GNG but this would require the help of a Chinese speaker. (I did ask for help at WP:CHINA.) Finally, if this article is deleted on grounds of notability, then it probably also should be deleted on zh.wiki and zh-min-nan.wiki.

- Obviously the zh.wiki and zh-min-nan pages both need to be deleted, but these wikis are poorly patrolled (does zh-min-nan even have patrollers/admins?) The zh.wiki page was created by a User:Dsfsswec, notice it was already discovered that he has used 28 socks on zh.wiki ( zh:Category:Dsfsswec的維基用戶分身) for this purpose, and if I understand his Chinglish correctly at User_talk:322121dwss (undoubtedly another of his socks in spite of his denial): "I will return as much as they can delete" and "I will continue my sabotage", seems that the socks won't stop on en.wiki either.

- Delete and Salt. Cross-wiki spammer and vandal. True to his word, he is continuing his sabotage. ( Odwxd ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)).- Mys_721tx ( talk) 21:09, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
