Miao Wei

 * ... that Miao Wei was nominated by BusinessWeek as a "Star of Asia" for rescuing China's then second biggest carmaker from near bankruptcy and transforming it into a profitable company?

 * Symbol question.svg Slight problem - "where he majored in internal combustion engine" doesn't quite make sense. Other than that, AGF'ing on the hook citation, which I cannot read, the article meets all the criteria. However, it seems to contradict Dongfeng Motor in describing it as the second-biggest car maker. Please resolve.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 20:38, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. I reworded the sentence. The hook is actually supported by ref #4, which is in English and accessible online. The source specifically says Dongfeng is the second-largest carmaker in China. I haven't checked the source in the Dongfeng Motor article, maybe it's using stats from a different year? I guess I could change it to "one of the biggest carmakers". -Zanhe (talk) 20:52, 15 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, I can access it now, before Google books said preview was not available. That's fine. I checked it out a bit, it is referring to current size, but when Miao Wei rescued Dongfend Motor it was the second biggest.

 * Thanks. I added "then" to make it clear. -Zanhe (talk) 06:21, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
