• Comment: Ellen Ying Zhang (simplified Chinese: 张颖; traditional Chinese: 張穎) is a Chinese philosopher at Hong Kong Baptist University and is its current Head of the Department of Religion and Philosophy. Does she pass WP:PROF? This article from The News Lens discusses her. Cunard (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak Delete subject to further information. chairman of a department is not necessarily a notable position. The books are all in Chinese, and I have no way of evaluating them. They don't show up in WorldCat, but that is not necessarily meaningful . Hong Cong Baptist Univeristy is respectable, a/c the ratings, but the famous research university in HK is University of Hong Kong, followed by Chinese University of Hong Kong.

• Delete — Zhang's common two-character name makes it more difficult to narrow down coverage about her specifically (there are at least four other professors I found in greater China with her name), so I spent a bit of time trying to find more coverage, but unfortunately, I do not think she passes the GNG or PROF muster based on Chinese sources.

• Delete per the lack of significant coverage in reliable sources. I conducted further searches for sources and could not find enough coverage to establish notability per Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. Cunard (talk) 23:30, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
