Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?
There's a huge lot about Shenzhen that Wikipedia didn't cover.The vast majority of the city's articles on Wikipedia are Stubs and a significant number of important features of the city aren't even included yet(much of its buildings,economy,infrastructure,roads etc.,some of them are of a gargantuan scale).Take roads in Shenzhen for instance,before I create a small stub article about the city's primary thoroughfare Shennan Road, no other articles about any other of the hundreds of roads in the city existed,to my knowledge(The Chung Ying Street partially falls into Hong Kong). Much of the city's articles were not edited for ages.It deserves much more attention and I personally think it would be great for Wikipedia if there could be a collaborative effort to create more and improve articles about this city.And I just want to again, emphasise that Shenzhen is amongst the largest cities in China,one of the world's fastest growing cities and home to more than 14 million people.
