Promotional article stuffed with promotional links (in Chinese). As a scholar fails WP:PROFESSORTEST. As a writer, let' see: the first 2 books are not even his field. (Writing a book about "Utility Machine Electrical Control Line" at age 14?) Books 3–8 were self-published. Not a single book has a WorldCat entry (one can verify this by clicking on their ISBN numbers). Timmyshin (talk) 22:41, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

* Keep The sources, SEC, Google Books , and WorldCat meet WP:GNG.89ezagonoszkommunistanacionalista64 (talk) 15:47, 12 February 2019 (UTC)  — 89ezagonoszkommunistanacionalista64 (talk • contribs) is a confirmed sock puppet of 123Aristotle (talk • contribs).

 * How does he meet GNG? The SEC link only mentions his name as a registrant, the Google Books link does not mention his name at all, and the Worldcat link simply tells us that 2 libraries in China hold a book which lists him as the 3rd author. Timmyshin (talk) 19:45, 12 February 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete Does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, or WP:PROF. Additionally, the editing history of the article creator (just enough small edits to reach autoconfirmed, then dropping 2 fully-formatted articles into mainspace) invites further scrutiny. Bakazaka (talk) 19:19, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
