There is very little information about this person. Sources seem self published, except a list of articles attributed to her (trouble with WP:BLPSOURCES). Thus subject of the article fails WP:NACADEMICS since she has not won any national awards or particularly had a specific impact on her field. Cocoaguy ここがいい 04:55, 30 December 2015 (UTC) After looking over the first AfD, I have to say that I find that this person in question has not made a significant impact to any field, and that simply having a lot of hits on any search engine does not give one notability especially academically.

 * Speedy keep per WP:PROF (highly cited publications on women in China; Google scholar gives citation counts 183, 149, 149, 114, etc., very high for humanities) and #C5 (named chair at a well-known research university). She also has a case for #8 as editor of Positions but it's less clear because the journal might not be well-enough established yet. Any one of these criteria would be enough by itself. The previous AfD was indecisive, and the nomination statement cites WP:PROF, but the nominator appears not to have read it carefully because the pass of #C5 especially is unambiguous. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per David. EricEnfermero (Talk) 23:19, 30 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep. Might have been borderline before when she was apparently still at her previous job, but it's crystal clear keep now that she's moved to Rice with a named professorship.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 19:34, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep -- doing a snow pile-on to emphasize how clear-cut this case is by WP:PROF guidelines. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:26, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
 * I would, btw., assert that the C8 a pass also -- the journal has received three substantial awards and a major press. This seems enough. -- Michael Scott Cuthbert (talk) 02:41, 1 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep WP:SNOWBALL. Shows the problem with failure to run a proper WP:BEFORE.E.M.Gregory (talk) 18:58, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
