Notability is at least unclear; searches turn up lots of library holdings and publications by him but almost nothing to suggest any third party interest. Mangoe (talk) 19:08, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, writing plenty of books doesn't alone make someone notable, and we need third-party coverage. Nyttend (talk) 20:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I've been a "professor" at a Chinese University and I'm darn sure I'm not notable yet. No indication of any commentary on this supposedly prolific creative individual. Simonm223 (talk) 21:53, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable autobiography. Hairhorn (talk) 01:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete fails WP:BIO due to lack of coverage in WP:RS, etc. Verbal chat 09:45, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Does not satisfy wp:bio,no third-party sources: he isn't notable. Voiceofreason01 (talk) 15:23, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: no evidence that topic meets WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Purported 'references' are vague to the point of being useless (generally lacking specific dates for periodicals, and authors to tell which are by him & which are about him). Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 15:34, 3 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Oh please. Moreschi (talk) 20:23, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above. Itsmejudith (talk) 22:19, 4 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
delete as not meeting WP:BIO. JoshuaZ (talk) 17:10, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
