Comment The article as written was mostly a copyvio of this page (many academic biographies suffer the problem that there are only so many ways to list the same dry facts, but this was particularly unmodified, down to typos). However, the statements in that biography might add up to a pass of WP:PROF#C3, WP:PROF#C5 and/or WP:PROF#C6, and manually adding up his h-index on the Web of Science gives 34, which is not at all bad for WP:PROF#C1.

Comment Probably meets WP:PROF#C5. However, I have some reason to suspect that User:Littleflyingdog is none other than Prof. Chang himself, based on his activity on Wikipedia/Commons as well as that of a user of the same name on the Chinese site Douban.

Thanks, I am really getting to know the concerns/rules here. By the way, Timmyshin, thanks for your suspicion; I really wish I were a professor~ --Littleflyingdog (talk) 08:28, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Response[edit]

Thanks for alerting me that this article really needs further improvement. In response to above comments (Fails WP:NPROF ), I have wrote more contents on the details and significance of Donald C. Chang's pioneer work in spin-echo NMR in detecting cancer and contribution in electroporation and electrofusion. These are influential works at that time. Please take a look if you have time. Of course continuous improvement of this article is needed by different editors (including me). I will try to enrich it further when I have time.

A more specific response to scope_creep's criticism about "Unable to verify via GScholar". It looks that Donald C. Chang did not create a personal profile in the Google Scholar, but if you simply search his name in Google Scholar, you can find many pages of his publication, which should be enough for verification purpose. By the way, a very popular tool for academics to share publications and networking is ResearchGate. He has a score of 39.43, which can serve as a verification if it is needed. --Littleflyingdog (talk) 12:28, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The expanded version also appears to be a copyright violation. XOR'easter (talk) 16:24, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm going to close this. Three effective keep statements and good evidence of a high h-index. scope_creep^Talk 10:50, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Afd Withdrawn Good evidence of notability. scope_creep^Talk 10:50, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
