Coi issues edit
I've cleaned up the article. Can someone else please verify if it needs any further cleaning up? Finnishela (talk) 14:51, 22 July 2018 (UTC)
- I don't agree with the removal of the COI tag yet... the page was written by COI accounts and is still subject to heavy COI editing. Secondly, there are still a lot of unsourced claims about this individual. Citobun (talk) 22:19, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
- Citobun I've edited the page further and added sources to the only part of the article I found needed them. Can you tell me if there are any specific issues remaining so that we can solve them? Finnishela (talk) 12:38, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
Reversion and most recent COI tag edit
Around a month has passed, and the tagger has yet to follow the tag's instructions to "promptly start a discussion on the article's talk page to explain what is non-neutral about the article." They've also ignored a query for clarification on their talk page despite being active since then, so I'm re-reverting accordingly. Of course still open to discussion on content, although serious suspicions of sockpuppetry and bias are best handled by SPI or the NPOV noticeboard. 66.198.222.67 (talk) 00:25, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- The articles were under some paid editing certainly. For example, Wonhm005's addition of a position that is non-notable. While Wongtaiman937 altered the lede to promotional tone. The current version seem clean up enough to have NPOV, non-promotional tone. Matthew hk (talk) 02:16, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- @66.198.222.67: I already explained the issue on this very talk page. This article (and others related to New World Development) has been subject to long-term paid editing by users with undisclosed conflict of interest, in conflict with the Wikimedia Foundation terms of service. These users have added completely unencyclopedic content in the past. Even when the article is stripped of explicitly promotional content it is still problematic when the original intent of beefing up the article is simply to promote the article's subject. This behavior is a huge problem on Wikipedia that diminishes the encyclopedia's value as a source for information, and wastes countless volunteer hours cleaning up the mess left by a relentless onslaught of corporate spammers and vanity editors. Citobun (talk) 06:27, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
- While what you say is fundamentally correct and of great importance, we should not lose sight of what's actually currently on the page. I have done some work on it, as have others, the effect of which is to strip the effects of what was unquestionably COI editing. So the tag should go and just be ready to deploy at an appropriate future time. It's overkill on the article as it now stands and a bit too discouraging to readers. sirlanz 06:38, 6 February 2019 (UTC)

had edit
The precise juxtaposition of this is of importance to the balance in the article. The Harvard material was introduced because it is apparent that the subject's entry into that institution was at least contemporaneous with the extremely significant support given to that institution by the subject's father. If a source can be found to establish the relative dates of these two events, the word "had" should be reinstated because it alerts readers to the evident connection. It was used on the basis of simply doing the maths on the birthdate and signing, which could be improved upon with the said sources. sirlanz 06:43, 6 February 2019 (UTC)
Edit Request: Infobox, Lead Section, Personal Life and Philanthropy edit
 | Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented. [see below] |
NOTE: I’m proposing the following edits for FleishmanHillard on behalf of New World Development. I am a paid editor and aware of the COI guidelines. I’m submitting these edits to correct inaccuracies and provide additional detail for the infobox, lead, personal life and philanthropy sections and have provided related sourcing for review. Please let me know of any questions or comments. Thanks for your time and consideration. Justin Goldsborough (talk) 23:49, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
Adrian Cheng Infobox
- In the Occupation section, Adrian is listed as Businessman. Suggest updating his occupation to be more representative of the type of work Adrian does and how he’s been described in the media. Suggested addition below:
Occupation: Business leader, philanthropist and entrepreneur
Business leader source[1]
Philanthropist source[2]
Entrepreneur source[3]
- In the Awards section, the awards currently listed are accurate but Adrian has received additional awards that are more notable. Suggest adding these awards to improve the article detail.
Fortune “40 Under 40” global business star[4]
World Economic Forum “Young Global Leader”[5]
Shared Value Champion Award[6]
Business Person of the Year Award, DHL-SCMP[7]
Lead section
- The last sentence of the first paragraph includes mention of two awards that can be included in the infobox. Suggest removing the following sentence from the article to simplify.
Cheng has been on the 40 under 40 list by Fortune, and in 2017, he was awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres.
- The first paragraph includes mention of Cheng’s positions with New World Development and K11, but does not include another notable position – founder of C Ventures investment fund, which is investing several hundred million euros in technology and millennial lifestyle brands. Suggest adding mention of that fund as noted below to be included at the end of the first paragraph.
He also provides early-stage funding to technology start-ups and platforms targeting younger generation consumers through C Ventures, an investment fund targeting millennial lifestyle brands.[8][9]
Personal Life section
- The second sentence about Adrian’s and Jennifer’s children is factually inaccurate. The Adrian and Sonia mentioned are actually Adrian Cheng and his sister, Sonia Cheng. Her name is misspelled in the current version of the article. Adrian and Sonia are the son and daughter of Henry Cheng. Suggest removing that sentence from the Personal Life section or correcting it to accurately show the relationship between Adrian and Sonia.
Source to confirm[10]
Philanthropy section
- There is a mention of sustainability efforts in the first sentence, but Adrian has made other notable efforts related to sustainability around the concept of Creating Shared Value. Suggest adding two sentences to the first paragraph of the section after the first sentence (see suggestion below) and then creating a new (second) paragraph to include the Coronavirus efforts already included in the article.
Cheng has integrated Creating Shared Value (CSV) [11] into New World Development’s core strategy[12][13]. Under his leadership, New World Development has pledged to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 ̊C above preindustrial levels[14]. Cheng launched the world’s first real estate developer to price a USD Sustainability Linked Bond[15].

Infobox I implemented the changes in the infobox, except business leader. I checked prominent businessmen articles, like Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffet, and none of them have that denomination. --Thinker78 (talk) 18:46, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
Infobox I decline to include the mention of the awards. Wikipedia is not a CV and these are all primary sources. We would need secondary sources to establish the notability of Cheng receiving these awards.
Personal Life section Removed disputed information.- Philanthropy section I decline to add the sentence about the CSV strategy: These are all primary source and for CSR I generally consider that a secondary source is necessary to establish notability. I decline to add the information about NWD's SLB: This news regards NWD and trying to credit Cheng's biography with every "good" thing done by his corporations is a form of promotional material.
- Lead section Removed disputed sentence. I have added language about C Ventures in the § Recent developments sections. C Ventures is not a notable company and it is therefore undue to mention it in the lead. JBchrch talk 13:44, 28 June 2021 (UTC)

Blatant COI edit
As it stands today, this article is clearly a piece of PR and self promotion, way too long and detailed in relation to the relevance of this person and has no place in Wikipedia, needs a through edit and being tagged as COI. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 223.197.32.97 (talk) 04:45, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
