• Keep – I'm seeing lots of coverage in Chinese-language sources: [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. More sources are easy to find on Google Books and with a simple Google search. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 15:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. To Mx. Granger's sources I'd add

all of which are cited in the subject's Baidu article, which is seven or eight scrolls long. Clearly passes GNG, although his role in World War II seems to have been much more significant than his later work, which is not currently reflected in his biography.

• Keep. FYI, the Chinese Wikipedia article is much longer and may be useful to expand this one: zh:Li Xianzhou.
