[edit] Vuong Trung Hieu
Supposedly a Vietnamese writer, but there are no WP:RS in the offing to satisfy WP:BK. Google results aren't persuasive [1], and the entire historical archive of GoogleNews turns up nothing of import [2]. If he were really a noted author, there would be some professional reviews showing up somewhere. Article is from a WP:single-purpose account, so there may be some promotional WP:COI going on here.

- Comment He is a real Vietnamese writer, though Worldcat lists his name as Trung Hié̂u Vương. (You can tell it's the same guy, based on the titles of the books.) But admittedly, I'm not finding much about him. Zagalejo^^^ 23:40, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. What do you mean, "no WP:RS"? The article author referenced an article in one of Vietnam's top newspapers and even translated part of it for the benefit of those of us who don't speak Vietnamese. The Vietnamese article has another reference and the external links and Worldcat confirm that the subject is a prolific author. As for Google searches, you have to include the diacritics to get the right results when names include Vietnamese characters: that way a web search gets more hits and a Google Books search finds 21 of his books.

- Vương Trung Hiếu is the one of writers and translators on vi.Wikipedia. I read the biography of Vương Trung Hiếu and translate it into English on en.Wikipedia. If considering it without use value on en.Wikipedia you can delete it.All belongs to you!.TV1181 (talk) 05:27, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

- Keep. Phil's research and the article references prove notability. Kevin (talk) 08:44, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Strong keep - Notability is not in doubt, and reliable sources seem plentiful. Asenine 11:50, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
- Keep Obvious keep. Sourced article on a prolific writer whose notability appears to be challenged just because he happens to write in a language other than English. Dekkappai (talk) 19:32, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
