Asserts notability, but I'm not so sure that notability is shown. Based on what I am seeing, weak delete. --Nlu (talk) 18:29, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Very little coverage that I can find that is really notable enough to be considered for an article at this time. SarahStierch (talk) 19:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Comment He can be seen to be cited in two books on contemporary art practice: "Performance Art in China" and "Creativity and Its Discontents: China's Creative Industries and Intellectual Property Rights Offenses". That would make me tend to a Weak Keep, that the English language reader was seeing cross-cultural fragments. On the other hand, the sole ref in the article is giving a 404, which is taking it down towards Unreferenced BLP territory. AllyD (talk) 17:42, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Do we even know if the subject IS alive? If no reliable third-party sources can be found on an individual's biography, Wikipedia should not have an article on it. SaveATreeEatAVegan 22:18, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - it's a shame no sources can be found because, if any of the claims in the article is true, he would certainly deserve an article. But as it is, unsourced, it is worse than useless. Hopefully someone who reads Mandarin will find something! Sionk (talk) 02:01, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
