This was prodded as "non-notable". This might be true, but as he was the leader of a US student organisation of pro-democracy Chinese students who got widely quoted in the media, I prefer a discussion at AfD.

 * Comment. No evidence that he passes WP:Prof. "RM Institute" does not appear to be a recognised scholarly body. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC).
 * Weak Keep His notability however appears to be political, not academic. DGG (talk) 02:16, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete as not notable per WP:BIO and related guidelines. DGG, please share the in-depth coverage in reliable sources that you found to justify your "week keep" opinion so I can change my opinion, I couldn't find it under his name as stated or as Liu Yong Chuan.

 * Delete. Fails WP:PROF and, for DGG, WP:POLITICIAN. لenna  vecia  19:14, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge into Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars per earlier AfD. 11 gnews hits for him, so keep if one of them has substantial coverage.John Z (talk) 02:36, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Independent Federation of Chinese Students and Scholars and allow a merge of any sourceable relevant information as per John Z above. Cannot find enough coverage to establish notability for himself but a redirect to the organisation makes sense. Davewild (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, whichever choice of notability criteria you make, he doesn't seem to meet them. Stifle (talk) 10:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
