Comment There has been no word on whether this subject is notable enough to have an article. We don't delete articles just because "bad guys" edited them. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:07, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  The article notes: "Business would be boring if it wasn't for the tech entrepreneurs turning geek into gold, so the biggest conference on rising star China's online moguls and tech innovation should be quite the draw. Expect bright ideas, serious players and even a little bit of adulation. The last Chinict I attended was two years ago and as much as I was impressed by what the founder of China's Internet had to say, other high profile attendees, and lunch, it was the crazy networking going on that made the biggest impression. There was an embarrassing number of opportunities to meet and greet, and everyone was dead keen to introduce their ideas. Either that or somebody who had already cashed in their idea was telling an audience that hung onto every word how they could do the same. ... Notable international attendees listed include Andrey Andreev of Badoo, a website that boasts of hosting 147 million "boys and girls" looking for dates; one of the most successful tech investors ever, Yossi Vardi; and Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin."

  This is a 3.5 minute television report about CHINICT. The reporter notes, "This is China's biggest technology conference. It's facilitating more than 5 billion US dollars in transactions for tech startups and stars alike from funding to listings to takeovers, and it's been widely welcomed. Hundreds of engineers and entrepreneurs are gathering here today to get a glimpse of the latest tech trends, not to mention plenty of networking with investors, prospective service providers, and possible business partners."

  The article notes: "Since 2005, for example, CHINICT has run hackathons that give developers two days to produce new applications, with the best achievements receiving the CHINICT award, on-going mentoring, and funding op- portunities from high-profile investors and luminaries, as well as valuable prizes and networking opportunities with CHINICT’s platform partners."

  The article notes from Google Translate: "From May 18th to 20th, 2013, the 9th CHINICT "Technology Stars in China" Summit was held in Beijing Tsinghua Science and Technology Park. More than 200 top technology elites and world-renowned Internet entrepreneurs from home and abroad came to participate. It is understood that the summit is the world's largest summit on Chinese high-tech innovation entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, and has been committed to providing a platform for the scientific and technological elites in China and the world to show themselves."

  The article notes: "This is the eighth time the Frenchman Franck Nazikian has come to China to hold the "CHINICT Technology Star in China (www.CHINICT.org)" event. As the founder of CHINICT, since 2005, Funkner has invited Internet star companies in China to participate in this summit together with foreign Internet companies and investors."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow ChinICT (simplified Chinese: 科技明星在中国; traditional Chinese: 科技明星在中國) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
