 * Comment - anyone with more expertise comment on Co-Dean at Chinese-EU University of Law? It appears to be close to a WP:PROF pass as the highest ranking officer at a significant institute of higher education.  I don't know enough about legal academia to be a judge; visiting fellow at Harvard Law is not enough to pass the academic notability guideline, but it is generally a hint to dig deeper. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 02:55, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * He's held a lot of prestigious appointments at his university, including the deanship of the "Chinese law" side of the China–EU School of Law, dean of the Graduate School of Law, and vice chairman of the Academic Committee. I'm not familiar with the administrative structure of Chinese universities – where I only worked for a single year – but I don't think the positions the subject has held quite meet criterion 6. He's also been an expert on several temporary committees, including one for the World Bank and one for the Beijing (as a prefecture level city, not the national government). He's written a couple books, but seems more involved in education than publication or research. Folly Mox (talk) 03:34, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I do remember that "vice chairman" of whatever is the highest ranking subject matter expert / professional in the group, because the "chairman" is always a party official, but I don't think that affects the overall analysis. Folly Mox (talk) 04:32, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * I do not have sources that demonstrate passing WP:NPROF. Folly Mox (talk) 19:16, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
