Somebody has vandalised the original copy and replaced it with a very simplistic version. Kusma's modified version, when editing was locked to prevent said vandalism, is the version that should be public instead of this stub of a piece. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.20.239.34 (talk) 19:17, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
They've also mistaken him for Olympic swimmer Wang Haibo. This Haibo in question is a 24 year old winger who was an unused player in the Olympic SOCCER team, not swimming. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Junojrs (talk • contribs) 19:29, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Time for some sanity
So, clearly there is a swimmer from the 2004 Olympics and a footballer with the same name. Easy fix:
- Move the current article to Wang Haibo (swimmer)
- Create a new page called Wang Haibo (footballer)
- Create a disambiguation page called Wang Haibo (disambiguation) listing both entries.
Easy, no?? WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:09, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- And potentially add one for Wang Haibo (basketball player)[1] if he's notable enough. I'd do this, but I haven't seen enough reliable sources to establish notability for the footballer or the basketball player. -- Ken_g6 (factors | composites) 20:12, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Wang Haibo would be the disambiguation page in that scenario. However try looking for sources for the Wang Haibo (footballer) how notable is he at this time the majority are not about him. Transfer to West Ham is speculation at this time which appears to be caused by a fake twitter account. Its very possible he is joining them but not confirmed to sourced at this time.Edinburgh Wanderer
- I agree -- it is too soon for an article about Haibo the footballer. Apparently he's a hit on the social web(no doubt due to humor over his name), but not a single reliable source to be found. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 20:17, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
