[edit] Tang Yuhan

Tang Yuhan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Article on a Chinese doctor. nominated previously for deletion on the basis of notability, lack of reliable sources, and verifiability. The original discussion attracted little attention, and the closing admin thought that sources added in Chinese weren't reliable. After discussion at DRV, he remembered that foreign language sources can be reliable and agreed to relisting. We need to evaluate the Chinese sources (and any that can be found in English) to determine if this individual is notable and whether the specific sources are reliable. No opinion from me; I don't read Chinese. GRBerry 19:11, 20 November 2007 (UTC) As requested at DRV, I have specifically solicited input at the talk page for the wikiprojects on China and Hong Kong.

• Keep - My Chinese is only intermediate level, but the sources seem to confirm what is in the article, and are from reliable sources like the People's Daily (the main newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party). I'd say that his accomplishments are enough to establish notability.--Danaman5 (talk) 19:57, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Tang is the Honorary Dean of Ningbo University Medical School, and received two honorary titles from Ningbo Municipality Government and Zhejiang Province Government for his contributions to Ningbo education. These facts have proved his notability as a benefactor. --Neo-Jay (talk) 20:08, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
• Weak keep Chinese sources confirm what the article says. His claim to notability is tenuous, but I'm inclined to go with a weak keep for the combination of him having been president of the Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association and then having a hospital named after him. The article needs to get rid of its peacock words though. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 21:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep though a poorly written article, President of the Hong Kong Chinese Medical Association is notable. That the source is confirmed by those who know the language is therefore sufficient. DGG (talk) 23:07, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Attributed to reputable sources. Eurozone AA (talk) 17:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
