I don't see him meeting any criterion of WP:NACADEMICS. Being a "Harry white fellow" does not meet criterion 3. LibStar (talk) 15:34, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable based on publications alone. Those publications are used as references *Keepregularly in Wikipedia articles. Harold White fellowships are awarded by the National Library of Australia. Castlemate (talk) 01:19, 26 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep* In WP:NACADEMICS If he meets this criteria "2. The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level." he is notable. So if a Harold White Fellowship is highly prestigious he is notable. university of toronto libaries states a review of The religion of Falun Gong by (Prof) L. L. Lam-Easton California State University, Appeared in Choice on 2012-09-01. Choice is The Australian Consumers Association's magazine. university of chicago states Choice Magazine: CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title Awards Won. It has a review by Prof T. H. Barrett, University of London of The religion of Falun Gong. His name appears 27 times in the Falun Gong article (has had 8,500 edits). If you are a significant writer about Falun Gong I think that you should be mentioned in that article and if you aren't hopefully you don't get mentioned.Aaabbb11 (talk) 23:49, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Weak keep The subject may be notable for his scholarship relating to falun gong, but the article entirely lacks third-party sources (all are from the university he works at with the exception of a very short blurb from the Nat'l Lib. Australia). Some better references need to be found, and I suspect that they will only be found in Australian publications, which I don't have access to. Mark as "references needed".

This discussion has become confused due to mistakes in editing. Comments have been placed incorrectly in the middle of other existing comments and all sense has been lost. I hope whoever is responsible can repair the damage. Thanks Castlemate (talk) 23:13, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
