Maybe someone who can read Chinese languages can helpprove me wrong, but I couldn't verify that this meets WP:NARTIST or WP:GNG. Clearly promotional as well (not that that necessarily reflects on notability). Has been tagged for notability for over 7 years, unresolved; hopefully we can now establish its notability wither way.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment: The subject won the Contemporary Chinese Art Award (CCAA) in 2004 ; someone may be able to confirm whether that is a notable award? Also shown in the Chinese Pavilion at the 2005 Venice Biennale . AllyD (talk) 16:30, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: The factors that I mentioned above, although nobody has confirmed whether the CCAA is notable, plus the discussion of the subject in the Guardian article that I have added to the article references are probably sufficient. AllyD (talk) 09:57, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep shown at MoMA PS1, archived in MoMA's Post project, was the armory show's commissioned artist. Definitely notable, though the article isn't well written. Theredproject (talk) 20:59, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep CCAA award and references could be better but good enough to survive this nomination. The article does need some work. Liz  Read! Talk! 00:13, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Withdraw nomination per all above. Boleyn (talk) 06:45, 19 July 2015 (UTC)
