 * Delete Fails WP:GNG; the phrase in the lede, "regarded as very influential" is the first of many fluffy pink warning signs. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:03, 21 April 2021 (UTC)

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  From Google Translate: "Nanfang Shuo is a pseudonym. He is a well-known columnist from a journalist background, so that later everyone only knows the pseudonym Nanfang Shuo, not many people know his real name. His most representative is that he left quite a few comments and published books during the period of martial law, and after he founded "New News" when he was away from middle school, many reporters also called him a "master."" The article further notes, "During such a long period of time during the martial law, Nanfang Shuo slowly established a Taiwanese newspaper's speech system step by step. Before Nanfang Shuo, Taiwanese newspapers were mainly composed of scholars and experts to write editorials or columns, but Nan Shuo's generation of reporters trained by Taiwanese began to think that important statements in newspapers should be written by the author who knows the development of news and current affairs best."  From Google Translate: "Born into a poor family, Nanfang Shuokao University Times reported to the Forestry Department of National Taiwan University. He explained the choice of this major:. ... After forty years old, Nanfang Shuo and his friends founded the "New News" magazine. At the time of social changes in Taiwan, both the general public and the press themselves are looking forward to the atmosphere of freedom and openness. "New News" was born at the right time. At its peak, the circulation reached more than 30,000 copies, but there were not many advertisements, and the business mainly relied on circulation. Nanfang Shuo became a columnist from a journalist. In 2005, Nanfang Shuo left "New News"."  From Google Translate: "This is Nanfang Shuo, whose real name is Wang Xingqing, is a prolific journalist who is known as the "most diligent folk scholar" by reading a lot of politics, economy, and society without a teacher. He considers himself ordinary, but only exerts the instinct of an intellectual and speaks on the opposite side of power, but his speech often turns into a shocking education for national leaders. He stands on the opposite of power and speaks as a shocking education for politicians  He once said bluntly, "Chen Shui-bian should go to a mental hospital instead of a prison," "Chen Shui-bian is laundering money, and the green camp is all accomplices", "Taiwan is no longer a blue and a green country, and has become a class with and without. A two-state society"." From Google Translate in article that discusses and excerps from the same article, "What kind of person is Nan Shuo, who is often valued by the core of power on the island, and who always stands opposite the power with a cold eyebrow? Article 337 of Taiwan's "Financial Information" magazine made an introduction.  The article is excerpted as follows:".  From Google Translate: "Nanfang Shuo, respected as a master in the literary and art world, is hailed as "the most diligent folk scholar." ... He had already applied for an American university scholarship but refused to go abroad when diplomatic relations were broken between China and the United States. . Over the years, Nanfang Shuo has created a large number of literary reviews and political theories, and is also one of the founders of "New News" weekly."</li> <li> From Google Translate: "According to Taiwan media reports, when Nanfang Shuo was awarded the prize, he said that he wrote poems since junior high school. His favorite style is "Roman Empire Style", which means that he should include poems in his articles. Therefore, when he writes comments, he often includes poems in his articles. ... Nanfang Shuo, whose real name is Wang Xingqing, is a Taiwanese writer, poet, critic and journalist. Graduated from the Forestry Department of Chinese Culture College (now Chinese Culture University), Master of Forestry Research Institute of National Taiwan University, and completed the doctoral program of the Institute of Industrial Planning of China Culture University (now discontinued)."</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Wang Hsing-ching (, who has a pseudonym of Nanfang Shuo (南方朔, Nánfāng Shuò), to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
