Xinsheng Ling
Hello Dyling123 -- I've declined your request to delete this article because it was created by an anonymous editor (IP) and I have no way of telling whether or not you are that editor. It has also been edited by and other IPs. The subject looks very likely to meet our notability criteria for academics.

If you are, or represent, Professor Xinsheng Ling then you should read Biographies of living persons/Help which gives various ways you can proceed. You can request deletion by following the instructions at Articles for deletion, stating that you are/represent the subject. I can help you with this if you would like.

 * Hi Espresso Addict, Yes, I represent the subject, and the subject wants me to delete his page. And yes, if you could help me with deleting the page, that'd be great.
 * Hi Dyling123 -- I have created a deletion discussion for you; you can participate here: Articles for deletion/Xinsheng Ling. (By the way, do remember to sign your comments with four ~ signs, so that people know who you are.) Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 05:06, 30 January 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi Espresso Addict, thank you. Could you send it to Proposed Deletion, instead of Articles for Deletion? It appears that that is a more straightforward process. And even though the subject meets notability, he has requested that I delete his page, so I am trying to delete it as quickly as possible. In addition, I was the main contributor of the page anyways and contributed the vast majority of the information, essentially its entirety. Thank you again.


 * Hi Espresso Addict, Would you be able to help me with requesting deletion through "Proposed Deletion," instead of "Articles for Deletion"? Thank you in advance!


 * Hi Dyling123 -- Sorry, I missed this. (By the way, if you intend to ping an editor, you need to sign your post (using ~ ) at the same time that you place the notification. Alternatively you can respond on my talk page, which will notify me automatically.)
 * Sorry, once an article's deletion has been opposed by an editor, a full discussion is always warranted, which will generate a binding decision. (A proposed deletion can usually be overturned by someone requesting that the article be restored.)
 * Is there any particular reason that Professor Xinsheng Ling requests deletion of the article? There doesn't seem to be anything very much in the current article that is not present in his university biography. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 02:23, 6 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello Dyling123. I'm afraid that the deletion discussion closed without consensus to delete the article, partly because the closing administrator was not certain that you actually represent Professor Ling (there have been problems with impersonation in the past), and partly because Professor Ling's fellowship of the American Physical Society means that he is significant enough that the encyclopedia would usually wish to have an article on him.
 * I believe the next step to appeal this decision is for Professor Ling, under his professional e-mail address, to e-mail the Foundation's volunteer response team at info-en-q@wikimedia.org and explain the situation, including the reasons why he wants the article to be removed, or particular information to be removed from it, or from its history. However, I'm afraid I am not an expert in this situation, and I am currently in correspondence with other editors on the subject. I will contact you again here if I receive any helpful advice.
