 * Delete I have been unable to find any coverage of the subject that is not about his bogus bid for two looted sculptures. This seems to be the only thing he's known for. I don't speak Chinese, so that may be a perfectly good reason why I didn't find any other sources. If they exist, and satisfy the GNG, then the article can obviously be kept. The looting of the Old Summer Palace may deserve an expanded section there, and perhaps some of the content can be incorporated. Looted art could probably use a paragraph about China as well.

 * Delete - I agree with the above, not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, and looks like it could be a case of WP:BIO1E. As Vexations stated, if more, quality sourcing turns up by someone who can do the research in Chinese, than it might be salvageable.  Onel 5969  TT me 00:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, the cites from The Guardian, Wall Street Journal and Reuters seems enough to keep the page. His action at the auction was notable and maybe unique. Added to his work and affiliations, seems like a fine page. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:57, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with the nom. I did not see any coverage outside the auction. ThatMontrealIP (talk) 06:15, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
