[edit] Jia-Ching Li

Contested speedy. Apparently he is a professor and entrepreneur. As a professor, no indication that he meets WP:PROF. The yogurt thing, whatever it is, needs more if it is to appear notable. Both the links go to Chinese-language sites. Herostratus 10:18, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Weak keep- producing a product of somekind gains him notability, but not much. Its best not to speedy this one and reach concensus. Alphablast 11:46, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

• Keep, but it really needs to be extended - there needs to be more information on what makes this new kind of yoghurt notable. -- Schneelocke 12:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. No assertion of notability, fails WP:PROF, and the yoghurt appears to differ from normal yoghurt in being a blend of goat's milk and soy milk. Big wow. And excuse me, but producing a product of some kind does not gain him notability. Otherwise my childhood fruit & veg stand would have an article. tomasz. 13:25, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Per above comments --Trumpetband 14:14, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Delete We have no evidence that he is a professor. He appears to be a sanitarian (i.e. a health inspector) in Texas. The yoghurt thing is a paper he wrote and we have no evidence that it was ever widely used or commercialized, or even cited by other authors. There is no trace of him in Google Scholar or Google Books, and only 3 trivial mentions in Google. The article and Talk about him appear to be written by himself and his sockpuppets (new users and anons). --Macrakis 14:36, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: fails WP:V, WP:BIO. No reliable sources.  RGTraynor  16:47, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete 116 GHits, in Chinese, 29 unique. [1] A sizable proportion aren't even him but are instead referring to a guy called Li Jia who works at Tsinghua University. Many of the other hits are from zhwiki or mirrors, where someone seems to have spammed his name into the yoghurt and Dynasties of China article. cab 01:29, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for lack of evidence of notability. JJL 03:05, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - hard to see what notability criteria he would satisfy. Slac speak up! 06:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
