  • It seems to be the same facility as Port of Nantong, or part of it. It may e.g. be describing one of the river port areas in that that article. Hard to tell as it’s so poorly written, possibly machine translated at some point. I suggest therefore a redirect to Port of Nantong. If someone later on finds more to write about it they can decide to expand that article or reinstate this one with something that makes a bit more sense.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 23:18, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to port of Nantong, though I also think deletion is justified as the article title is very unlikely to be searched for. There is little if any coverage for the article title. There is some coverage for "Yangkou Port", which seems to be related to the port of Nantong. Hrodvarsson (talk) 23:33, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, "Yangkou Port" seems to be a more common name/translation of the name, than "Yangkou harbour", while "Rudong" is just the district. So the proper way to write it in English is probably "Yangkou Port, Rudong" – "Rudong Yangkou Harbour" is probably a word-for-word translation of the Chinese. But redirects are cheap; even if this is a poor translation it’s one someone has used, and it’s possible someone will be able to make something out of it someday.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 00:42, 27 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to Port of Nantong, not enough notability for standalone article. Onel5969 TT me 23:45, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
