• Keep. The article provides two reliable sources about the subject:
  1. 徐东东 (6 September 2015). "500个现代失意者坐大船穿过虫洞，跃入明朝的南海". thepaper.cn (in Chinese). Retrieved 24 September 2018.

     There is more information about The Paper at https://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/06/business/international/china-media-the-paper-english.html.

  2. 郝志舟 (September 2017). "萧峰和他的500个"奇葩":一部真正的互联网小说是如何诞生的". China Youth (in Chinese) (17): 34–37. ISSN 1002-9532. Retrieved 4 October 2018.

     There is more information about China Youth at zh:中国青年.

  Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria notes:

  A book is notable if it verifiably meets, through reliable sources, at least one of the following criteria:

  1. The book has been the subject of two or more non-trivial published works appearing in sources that are independent of the book itself. This can include published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, other books, television documentaries, bestseller lists, and reviews. This excludes media re-prints of press releases, flap copy, or other publications where the author, its publisher, agent, or other self-interested parties advertise or speak about the book.

  The substantial reviews in The Paper and the Chinese Youth journal, clearly establish that the book passes Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria.

• Keep: Per the article's sources. SL93 (talk) 23:53, 27 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak keep. I can't fully understand the Google translations of the sources identified but they appear to show coverage. The only argument for deletion here is the nomination, which makes a statement backed up by no explanation or analysis of the sources. --Michig (talk) 08:04, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
