An IP editor placed an "official statement" claiming that this person is a fraud. See [1]. I've removed the IP's edits as potentially defamatory, but it does raise a substantial question as to whether the claims in this article are legitimate and whether this person is notable. As it stands, as I can't be sure and this is not my area of expertise, mild delete. I hope more knowledgeable editors will respond. --Nlu (talk) 01:39, 14 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete I couldn't find sources with significant independent coverage of him, at least in English. It seems like there should be lots of coverage of him in Chinese, but that's out of my knowledge zone. 204.126.132.231 (talk) 18:08, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I agree with the previous editor. It seems like he should be notable, but there's a lack of sources to support that claim (at least in English). Astudent0 (talk) 18:04, 19 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
