Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Management

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to Management. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Management|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Management. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

• Note: this discussion has been included in the AfD sorting lists for the following topics: Academics and educators and Politicians. Dbsseven (talk) 17:38, 28 July 2026 (UTC)
• Delete - so many issues, too little energy to go through them all. In short: poorly sourced, without sufficient inline sources to verify anything, about the subject; tagged for many years, for multiple issues, without any improvement; created by an SPA with two edits, which raises red flags for COI and original research. I'm sorry to offload this issue on you folks. Thank you Dbsseven for doing this unpleasant task for us. If somehow this person passes academic notability, please add reliable sources and ping us.

• Delete: Concurrence with nom in toto, though I am reluctant to vote this way, because it appears that Dr. Rezaei does do important academic work (he's coauthored more than 70 papers in his career on a wide range of social and cultural topics, many of which appear to be interesting reads). My research for this vote did, however lead me to discover that he may the ambassador of Iran to the African Union and Ethiopia, but this is difficult to ascertain, especially considering the Government of Iran is rather disjointed at the moment, and even if he was. it's difficult to ascertain if the Iranian government maintained his position as ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary after the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Considering the Iranian Foreign Ministries website is not particularly functional, and if I reached out to either them or the African Union about the issue I would be at serious risk of criminal prosecution by my own government, (and most other editors from Western Countries who fear US sanctions would likely have the same risks) I think confirming this is, at present impossible. If someone has greater thoughts on this, or an angle for SIGCOV I would love to hear it, but in absence, my vote must regrettably remain Delete. Foxtrot620 (talk) 22:57, 28 July 2026 (UTC)

I propose merging to Students' union because there seems to be a few issues with the page. Furthermore, the subject can easily be merged to the student union page Issac I Navarro (talk) 01:49, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

• Comment: not sure if any of the issues the nominator is referring to warrant to this page not being necessary at all (does the usual common wisdom of AfD not being cleanup still apply in merge discussions?), or if material about this would actually be due in the general students' union article, but it is of note that this has been tagged as a potential NORG failure almost since its creation in September 2017.

I would of suggested that this page also be included in the now closed merged discussion at Talk:Class president § Proposed mergers with the same rationale and consensus that discussion brought. I just now seen that this page existed. Issac I Navarro (talk) 02:58, 21 July 2026 (UTC)

  1. "员工"讨薪"百亿量化私募天演资本，竟牵出股东"抢夺公章"？" [Employees' Wage Dispute at RMB 10 Billion Quant Fund Tianyan Capital Uncovers Alleged Shareholders' Battle Over the Company's Official Seal?]. The Paper (in Chinese). 2023-05-27. Archived from the original on 2026-07-25. Retrieved 2026-07-25 – via East Money.

     The article notes: "公开资料显示，天演资本成立于2014年8月，为百亿级量化私募，已由北京天演资本管理有限公司更名为上海天演私募基金管理有限公司。天眼查显示，该公司由两名自然人直接持股，其中执行董事、总经理、法定代表人谢晓阳持股80%，监事张森持股20%。引起市场关注的是，这份民事判决书还牵扯出了疑似两大股东内斗、抢夺公章的往事。"

     From Google Translate: "Public records indicate that Tianyan Capital, a quantitative private fund manager with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan, was established in August 2014 and has since changed its name from Beijing Tianyan Capital Management Co., Ltd. to Shanghai Tianyan Private Fund Management Co., Ltd. Data from Tianyancha shows that the company is directly held by two individual shareholders: Xie Xiaoyang—who serves as executive director, general manager, and legal representative—holds an 80% stake, while Supervisor Zhang Sen holds 20%. What has drawn market attention is that the civil judgment in question also brought to light past events suggesting an internal power struggle between the two major shareholders, including a dispute over the seizure of the company's official seal."

Archived from the original on 2026-07-25. Retrieved 2026-07-25.

     The article notes: "成立于2014年的天演资本，是一家创设于中国本土的量化对冲基金管理公司，当前管理规模逾200亿元。... 而天演资本是为数不多的量化“海归派”+“本土派”的代表。创始合伙人之一谢晓阳是剑桥大学工程学学士，... 另一位创始合伙人张森则是北京大学经济学学士、中国科学院经济学硕士，... 在业内人士看来，“海归派”+“本土派”的组合对天演资本策略发展的广度有很大的增益。据悉，“天演”二字取自《天演论》，体现了天演资本在科学研究和投资方法上不断演进革新的企业文化。2015年，天演资本首只契约型私募基金成立。2017年上线了市场中性策略。此后陆续上线指增策略、量化选股策略等，目前已形成具有显著风险收益特征的完整产品线。"

     From Google Translate: "Founded in 2014, Tianyan Capital is a homegrown Chinese quantitative hedge fund management firm currently managing assets exceeding RMB 20 billion. It stands out as a prime example of a firm that combines "returnee" talent (those with overseas experience) and "local" talent. One of its founding partners, Xie Xiaoyang, holds a bachelor's degree in engineering from the University of Cambridge, while the other, Zhang Sen, holds a bachelor's degree in economics from Peking University and a master's degree in economics from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Industry observers believe that this blend of "returnee" and "local" expertise significantly broadens the scope of Tianyan Capital's strategy development. The name "Tianyan" is derived from *Evolution and Ethics* (known in Chinese as *Tianyan Lun*), reflecting the firm's corporate culture of continuous evolution and innovation in scientific research and investment methodologies. Tianyan Capital launched its first contractual private fund in 2015 and introduced a market-neutral strategy in 2017. Subsequently, it rolled out strategies such as index enhancement and quantitative stock selection, establishing a comprehensive product lineup characterized by distinct risk-return profiles."

     The article notes: "“老东家”天演资本成立于2014年8月，登记在册的全职员工有93人。据公开信息，创始人谢晓阳曾于伦敦自营交易公司TibraCapital任投资经理，负责欧洲各国股指期权做市。官网显示，天演资本总资产管理规模已达300亿元。值得一提的是，天演资本因与离职员工的劳动纠纷、核心投研离职、资管规模缩减，多次作出回应。2023年5月，中国裁判文书网一份判决书披露了天演资本前首席人力资源官李光楠与天演资本及其关联公司上海物则投资之间的劳动合同纠纷。正是这份判决书，李光楠指出天演资本的两位股东上演抢公章戏码。"

     From Google Translate: "Tianyan Capital, the firm in question, was established in August 2014 and has 93 registered full-time employees. According to public information, founder Xie Xiaoyang previously served as an investment manager at the London-based proprietary trading firm Tibra Capital, where he was responsible for market-making in equity index options across various European countries. The company's official website indicates that its total assets under management (AUM) have reached 30 billion yuan. Notably, Tianyan Capital has frequently had to address issues such as labor disputes with former employees, the departure of key investment and research personnel, and a contraction in AUM. In May 2023, a court judgment published on the China Judgements Online website revealed a labor contract dispute between Li Guangnan—Tianyan Capital’s former Chief Human Resources Officer—and the firm, along with its affiliate, Shanghai Wuze Investment. It was in this judgment that Li Guangnan alleged a power struggle involving the seizure of the company's official seal by two of Tianyan Capital's shareholders."

     The article notes: "今年2月，百亿私募数量达到史无前例的126家。第三方平台显示，多家百亿私募的全部产品在2026年1月亦创下历史新高。其中，按产品近三年收益均值排序，天演资本排名居前。一个团队要具备哪些特质，才能成为投资领域的“长跑者”？据了解，天演资本的两位创始人谢晓阳、张森都酷爱跑步，在他们的带动下，天演的年轻人也组建了一支“跑团”。他们不仅在不久前的摩根大通企业竞速赛上取得了团队成绩前十名的成绩，张森更是夺得了男子第一名。对于外界印象中以“数理”“IT”为特色的量化投资团队来说，能在运动领域同样拔得头筹，离不开公司倡导的长期主义生活方式。"</p<

     From Google Translate: "As of February this year, the number of private fund managers with over 10 billion RMB in assets under management (AUM) reached an unprecedented 126. Data from third-party platforms indicate that the total product performance of many of these firms hit record highs in January 2026. Notably, Tianyan Capital ranked among the top performers based on average product returns over the past three years. What qualities must a team possess to become a "long-distance runner" in the investment world? It is understood that Tianyan Capital’s co-founders, Xie Xiaoyang and Zhang Sen, are avid runners; inspired by them, the firm's younger employees have even formed their own running club. Not only did the team secure a top-ten finish at the recent J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge, but Zhang Sen also took first place in the men's category. For a quantitative investment team typically perceived as being defined by mathematics and IT, excelling in sports is a testament to the "long-termism" lifestyle championed by the company."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tianyan Capital (simplified Chinese: 天演资本; traditional Chinese: 天演資本) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
