Delete as per WP:BIO. This article was tagged for Speedy Deletion on 6 January 2009 December 2007 but creator carefully removed that tag. It contains some misleading links that doesn't establish its verifiability clearly. Moreover, Fosun International Limited, another article created by this user is claimed to be the largest private-owned conglomerate in Mainland China which is also a vanity claim as a google search clearly shows that it's a rising company. And current article person (Guo Guangchang) is the CEO of this company. --   Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  14:42, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment:Fosun International Limited also seems to be a non-notable entry but I didn't tag it just to see the feedback of other wikipedians for this entry. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  15:18, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Comment. If it can be verified that he is the second-richest person in Mainland China, then that presumably would make him notable. Other than that I'm unsure about this one.--h i s  s p a c e   r e s e a r c h 15:19, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I found an interesting ranking. In 2004 he was ranked 14th richest in China]. He was in 9th place in 2002 and 2003. 14th richest claim is not bad actually though it is four years old citation. Let me give it a try to find some more information about this person. Cheers. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  15:32, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I found another one. In 2006 he was ranked 11th in China . I think I should withdraw this nomination. Just waiting for other's feedback. Wikipedians from China may help improving these articles. Cheers. -- Niaz  (Talk •  Contribs)  15:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep 11th richest in china is sufficient for notability, & forbes in sufficient documentation for that. DGG (talk) 02:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * keep, especially if it can be verified that he is/was a member of the National People's Congress (i.e. the closest thing the PRC has to a Congress/Parliament). --Paularblaster (talk) 17:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * And here he is active as one of the Shanghai delegates to the NPC - assuming it isn't somebody else with the same name . --Paularblaster (talk) 18:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep. Major business figure in China. Snake66 (talk) 17:21, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
