[edit] Tien-Min Li

I was debating whether this article should be deleted for lack of notability, and while my feeling is that we should keep (weakly) it, I decided to AfD it to see what the consensus is. As I see it, reason for deletion would be non-notability. He's far less notable than the lengthy term as a legislator would suggest, as not only were "mainland representative" legislators in that era not subject to elections, but they were rubber stamps for KMT central government policy with little influence themselves. However, the lengthy service itself might make him sufficiently notable. --Nlu (talk) 08:06, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  • This person (purportedly) lived from 1908 – 1993. Deciding notability should be a simple matter of applying the primary notability criterion. Xe is notable if xe has been documented in detail in history books (which are published works). The article unhelpfully cites no sources, of course. Uncle G 09:20, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I've added a link to the Legislative Yuan Web site that gave his committee assignments (and therefore confirmed the length of his service). However, I can't verify the rest of the information from reliable sites. --Nlu (talk) 09:28, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. I added as references two reviews of his books. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 20:03, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
