Unreferenced stub created 10 years ago that does not make any claim that the topic it covers meets GNG. No zh interwiki, no Chinese name. English name appears in a few places according to my BEFORE but only in passing. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 11:49, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Basic confirmation it exists [1] and [2]. Most hits in Google are wiki mirrors. Oaktree b (talk) 13:53, 21 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

~~redirect to Soso_(search_engine) which briefly references it. In Chinese Wikipedia this redirects to Sogou Baike[3] but we don't have an article for that. Oblivy (talk) 00:46, 22 September 2023 (UTC)~~[reply]

Comment: From zh:搜狗百科, it sounds like this was a former name of Sogou Baike, which is surely notable. If that's right, then the article should be moved to Sogou Baike, or at worst redirected to Sogou. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 03:38, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

keep and rename to Sogou Baike @Mx. Granger's suggestion makes sense. In fact, the Chinese version was moved from Soso Baike to Sogou Baike in 2014[4]. Changing my vote to keep and rename. If a consensus was to emerge around merging with Sogou with a redirect I'd be OK with that too.
Comment. Interwikis have now been added by User:Yinweiaiqing. I will be happy to see it rescued, although the sources in the zh article don't seem to be very strong - one is Baidu, one is the company itself, the two others are, well, hard to judge for me b/c of the language barrier. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 09:17, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Move to the Sogou Baike article is ok. Oaktree b (talk) 13:58, 23 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Move to Sogou Baike, although I remember it under its original branding. First source at zh:搜狗百科 (the 163 article) is fine; the rest are basically OR. The permanent dead link on the zh.wp article also just needs a domain name update, but I haven't fixed it. It's a primary source anyway. Folly Mox (talk) 09:59, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
