Unreliable sources. Cursory Google search finds no reliable sources. The unreliable GlobalSecurity article contains just a namedrop. The unreliable Sinodefence.com article suggests that a missile called "Changfeng" may have been in development sometime in the past (hard to tell when from the article); perhaps the program simply died, or was just the result of the rumour mill. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 05:25, 8 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • weak keepIt appears to be the ancestor to the CJ-10 and I suspect this might have to be further researched

::Keep due to flawed nomination justification. AFD process guides nominators to do a range of searches detailed at WP:BEFORE but the argument above is based on a "Cursory Google search" therefore I see this as not a valid proposal to delete. CT55555(talk) 05:39, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Google Books turns up a mention/blurb in self-published book ([1]). Google News turns up an article on spacewatch.global ([2]) which mentions "SpaceTrek openly advertises their Changfeng series of cruise missiles". Additional searches for spacetrek and changfeng turned up a Twitter post mentioning spacetrek and "Changfeng series of missiles", and a repub of a SpaceTrek press release ([3]) mentioning "Changfeng Type target missiles".
From what I can tell, coverage is insignificant and unsustained. That's assuming that it even exists and that "Changfeng" is not just a name that was earlier associated with some other weapon (as seems to be implied by the non-reliable sinodefence and globalsecurity articles referenced by the article) but for which I have yet to find reliable corroboration for. - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 00:01, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Bold third relist. Soft-delete is not available due to the (weak) keep. Needs further input to reach consensus.

Weak Keep - added a source. I feel like any sources documenting this might be in chinese so might be difficult to find

How is machtres.com a reliable source? - RovingPersonalityConstruct (talk, contribs) 17:00, 29 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Appears to be military website that writes about military equipment specifications, appears to be independent and reliable, as it accurately describes other military equipment HeliosSunGod (talk) 03:56, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
