Proposed deletion of Jianying Zha

Latest comment: 2 years ago2 comments2 people in discussion
 

The article Jianying Zha has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

BLP sub-stub, no SIGCOV of the writer, as opposed to casual mentions and interviews of the subject.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Ravenswing 22:12, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

thanks for the heads up, I've added a ref and some of her books. It needs expansion, but I think that's enough to remove the PROD. Dsp13 (talk) 10:35, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
