Non-notable poet, self-promotional article. Fails WP:BIO JMHamo (talk) 23:15, 13 July 2016 (UTC)


 * I have added her name in Chinese so you could google it and find out yourself she is absolutely notable!Most of the interviews and news on her are in Chinese, but it is not difficult to translate them with software.
 * I have also added 15+ evidents (most of them from official websites of academic societies) on her notability, please refer to them. Baikespwiki (talk) 01:14, 14 July 2016 (UTC)




 * Comment Since the bulk of the article consisted of reproduction of her (translated, I assume) poetry, I've put a copyvio mask on top of all of it and expect that some revision deletion will be done. Largoplazo (talk) 21:38, 17 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete The problem is that the article is confused gibberish. For example, claiming "Iki of Bashō, Wabi of Muramasa①" as an English translation is obviously bogus. And since nothing in the article corresponds to any indication of notability, it may as well be deleted, since the usable content is empty. Imaginatorium (talk) 09:39, 19 July 2016 (UTC)
 * (Followup comment) I have also so far found zero (0) references which are actually obviously third-party. The text claims "Her works in Chinese, English, Japanese, German and French...", but there is no evidence in English, Japanese, German, or French of these, and in fact this seems to mean more writing in Chinese, notionally being translations of something or other.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete non-notable poet. Even if she was notable, the article is so horribly written, I would reccomend a TNT and start over.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:33, 23 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. Even if this poet were notable, the article is such a huge mess that it really needs to be blown up and started from scratch. Normal editing would take many days to save this wreck. For what it's worth, I don't see any notability as a creative person, just walls of lots of useless citations. Bearian (talk) 19:35, 27 July 2016 (UTC)
