User talk:Donald Trung/Liam Kelley (historian)/Pre-launch

, I don't have much experience writing biographies of living people on the English-language Wikipedia and while none of my articles here have ever been deleted, I wouldn't want this to be the first one. So I would like to ask you to look at this version of my draft and see if you think that it meets the notability requirements. Note that despite him being an American most works about him tend to be written in Vietnamese and some use his Vietnamese name while others use his American name. Regarding notable works he pioneered the field of "envoy poetry" and is noted for his criticisms of a lot of commonly accepted, but likely false, ideas in the field of Vietnamese historiography and is a noted critic of Vietnamese nationalist interpretations of history, something which the Communist Party of Vietnam has criticised from, with a Communist Party critic claiming that he is very influential for young authors in Vietnam. I tried to balance this out to showcase both criticisms and praises of his works so it's not one-sided, feel free to make any adjustments you like.

Note that I'm contacting you as you're the one that moved the version made by user "Laska666" to draftspace and (probably) have experience with BLP content like this. --Donald Trung (talk) 22:21, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

 * , you can better ask them later on "User talk:Donald Trung" as I don't seem to get pings and I had this tab still open which is how I saw your message. --Donald Trung (talk) 12:29, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
