- I originally closed this as Redirect to "List of school pranks" but the nom had an issue so have reopened to keep everyone happy!. –Davey2010 • (talk) 07:35, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
- Comment Hmm ... After some checking I'm not sure that this isn't at best non-reliable blog posting. I'm going to do some more digging in Chinese sources but at the moment I'm leaning towards delete with the "Sawing" elements redirected to List of school pranks. FWIW, contrary to the claim in the article, I've never encountered a street lamp in Hong Kong that looked like it could be extinguished by hitting it with one's "private part".

- Delete This is a clear case of common name in Chinese - "Happy Corner" is only mentioned as an afterthought in the corresponding Chinese article. The only extant content for which sourcing is available is "Sawing" as mentioned above and "Aruba" (the Taiwanese name for the same thing). I would suggest a new article under one of those titles WITHOUT all the wild unreferenced claims made in the "Working methods" section. Philg88 ♦talk 06:56, 3 August 2014 (UTC)]
- Delete, no redirect I concur with WP:GNG, and believe that any coverage under List of school pranks is quite sufficient. If indeed in the future there is overwhelming significant coverage in independent reliable sources, then a new article with an appropriate English title can be spawned from List of school pranks. --Bejnar (talk) 16:27, 9 August 2014 (UTC)]
