 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. I listed this in the women deletion-sorting list based on a pronoun in an earlier version of the article, but can we even verify that Min is female? A book source states that Min is a friend of the author and uses male pronouns for Min. —David Eppstein (talk) 00:25, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Also described in male pronouns at, an author biography presumably directly contributed by Min. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:29, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * There's much more detail about Min (in Chinese, which I can only read through Google translate, and likely unreliable as a source for Wikipedia) at https://baike.baidu.com/item/%E9%97%B5%E5%AE%B6%E8%83%A4/3846682 —David Eppstein (talk) 05:39, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * delete fails WP:NPROF. This seems to be a different person than the one previously discussed that appears in multiple Google Books results. --hroest 19:03, 5 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It is the same person, I'm pretty sure. The discussed version then had a little more detail but is otherwise more or less the same as now. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:21, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment If one could verify that (she?) is a member of the CASS, I think it would be a keep per WP:NPROF - the CASS is a highly prestigious and selective institution. BrxBrx(talk)(please reply with BrxBrx ) 20:27, 8 October 2021 (UTC)
 * keep. Ah, my search-fu is strong today. Found his bio on CASS, which has his name for further searching. 闵家胤 retired in 2003, which explains why it's hard to find out anything more recent than decades old books, but he was active far more recently blogging. Seems quite notable to me.--2A00:23C8:4583:9F01:A5A4:BDE5:CB0F:BB5B (talk) 23:08, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete - Even the findings of the above "search-fu" is not enough as extensive use of his blog would violate WP:PRIMARY.  Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 02:08, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
 * The blog mention was mostly intended to answer the obvious question about his activities since retiring. As it was almost 20 years ago one might wonder if he had died, and where the information on that was. But seems he retired youngish and is still going well. The blog was not used as a source, I added it as an external link. There are other perhaps more reliable sources on his activities since retiring (talks e.g.) which might be used to expand the article.--2A00:23C8:4583:9F01:7589:82DE:89D0:39E (talk) 23:14, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
