Having difficulty finding reliable looking sources for this figure. Also the fact the this individual just simply disappeared is a red flag. Prisencolin (talk) 07:40, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

*Delete. My first thought was that in 1936 a Chinese athlete’s name would have been rendered in Wade-Giles and not in pinyin, so I looked under Chia Lien-Jen but nothing there either. The one source for this article is an unreliable spam magnetic. Mccapra (talk) 08:27, 24 March 2020 (UTC) Struck my !vote in the light of sources found by other editors.

 * Keep per all of the reasons always raised at every Olympian AfD. Come on, people. It took me two seconds to find another source showing his winning the 800 and 1500 at the Chinese National Games. Sports-Reference is neither unreliable nor a spam magnet; instead, it is instead rather close to authoritative. The Official Report of the 1936 Olympics lists him as competing (yes, under the rendering Chia). -- Jonel (Speak to me) 08:37, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep as he competed at the Olympics, per WP:NOLY, and per the expansion work done by .  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 09:18, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
