In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Esmé Weijun Wang in mainspace
I expanded, sourced, and generally made the article look more like a Wikipedia article, to the point where I felt comfortable bringing into mainspace. Wang is clearly notable under WP:ANYBIO for winning the Whiting Award, and under WP:AUTHOR for her reviewed book(s), so I focused on those accomplishments in order to highlight why the article should not be deleted by eager patrollers. It can definitely be expanded (a lot!) and I hope you continue to improve the article. Happy editing! Bakazaka (talk) 01:19, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
