Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The book has a chapter about Chuan Sha. The book notes from Google Translate: "Chapter Three: Chuan Sha and the novel "Sunshine" 1. Introduction to the author Chuan Sha, whose real name is Yin Xiangze, was born in Chongqing, China in 1952, and his ancestral home is Shandong. After graduating from the Department of Physics of Sichuan University in 1980 with a laser major... Chuan Sha's works were published in the United States "Chinese and Foreign Forum", China's "Genesis" (Taiwan), "Poetry", "Flower City", "Appreciation of Masterpieces", "World Chinese Literature" And other newspapers and magazines."  The magazine article notes from Google Translate: "Zhang Ling (Canadian female writer, vice president of Canadian Chinese PEN Association, author of novels "Looking at the Moon" and "The Staggered Other Shore"): 'Encountering the passion of poetry in an era lacking the atmosphere of poetry is an emotional dislocation. Chuan Sha's collection of poems "The Crowd Dragging the Shadow" brings us such an emotional dislocation. Emotional dislocation often leads to jumps in thinking. On the jumping and disjointed road of thinking, we are controlled by Chuan Sha, and we unknowingly step into a state of searching. In the end we discovered that what we found was a long-lost link in the chain of poetry.'" The article also includes biographical coverage about Chuan Sha: "Canadian Chinese writer and poet. Born in Chongqing, Sichuan, China, his ancestral home is Shandong. Graduated from Sichuan University and worked as a literary editor in a publishing house in China. He went to the UK in 1991 and immigrated to Canada in 1999. Currently the editor-in-chief of Canada Poseidon Publishing House."  The book has a chapter on page 304 titled "Chuan Sha: The Wolves Are Roaring". The book notes: "Chuan Sha is a Chinese-Canadian writer, poet, and critic, and his work includes novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, and literary reviews. A graduate of Sichuan University, he has lived in Toronto since 1999. Chuan Sha is now editor-in-chief of Canada's Poseidon Publishing House, director of the Chinese Canadian Poets Association, and a member of the Chinese Canadian"  The book notes from Google Translate, "Comment from anger to humor: A brief discussion on Huang Junxiong Chuan Sha (Chinese Canadian writer, poet, playwright)."</li> <li> The article notes from Google Translate: ""Hehuan" is an original script written by a Chinese Canadian writer, poet and playwright Chuan Sha, screenwriter and lyrics. It is also his second screenplay officially performed in Canada. It is reported that Chuansha's script "Acacia" was originally in four acts and 19 scenes. The Chinese and English versions have been revised several times."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Chuan Sha to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep while I am unable to access sources 3 and 5, the other three appear to be sufficient to establish notability. NemesisAT (talk) 12:01, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep While the article needs to have the references listed above added, there are enough citations to prove notability. In particular, his poetry is reprinted in Language for a New Century: Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East, Asia, and Beyond, which is a major Norton anthology. That alone proves notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
