General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
Cited: Interesting:

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Both article need end-of-sentence cites for the fact of him discovering the city. The source confirms the claim ("He discovered the Shang deposits at Daxinzhuang"). The source is a doctoral dissertation, but it seems to have a decent number of citations according to Scholar, so I think it's fine to use. Earwig's clear for both articles and no other issues I can see, so gtg once the end-of-sentence cites are added. AryKun (talk) 13:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

• @AryKun: Oops! Added end of sentence cites. Thank you! Generalissima (talk) (it/she) 13:49, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
