Fails to establish notability. A citation confirming its use as a standardized test in China would fix this. NeonMerlin[1] 01:48, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Delete Nothing shows up as this being an IQ test. But I have heard of this "test" before. Netalarmtalk 06:12, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The article claims why it is notable, but needs citing. A {{fact}} tag would be the better procedure so editors can find sources. PaulGS (talk) 08:43, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete.No sources, except for unreliable one. Gosox5555 (talk) 02:07, 21 September 2009 (UTC) However, it seems to be well known. Therefore, I am Neutral. Gosox5555 (talk) 02:09, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]- Delete WP:Trivia combined with lack of reliable sources makes me feel this should be deleted. I taught in China for a few years and never encountered this test problem. Furthermore a test composed of a single logic problem would not be standard test design in China.

- Redirect to River crossing puzzle, as this appears to be just another variation of the puzzle. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:47, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Absolutely unencyclopedic, unsourced, not valid as a redirect, only 349 Google hits. Abductive (reasoning) 21:34, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - it is a variation on the river corossing puzzle, but with no sources to establish this as an actual IQ test used in China. -- Whpq (talk) 20:27, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
