Keep meets GNG. See the extensive German wikipedia article de:Cheng Taining for references. Timmyshin (talk) 23:05, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep - academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering. Easily satisfies WP:NACADEMIC #3. I've expanded the article to include his major projects, which is a quite impressive list. -Zanhe (talk) 23:16, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep- I totally translated from Chinese Version, so this might not enough information, but German version has. This person is a famous architect in China as an academician of Chinese Academy of Engineering. Classic.Day 06:33, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
Comment- If so Please add some good ref to the article, What i feel is given ref links are not good enough and poorly sourced for a BLP's. And i have checked with google for this name and the name gets some hits and that redirects to some online book shop's buying page not to any news article of the above mentioned subject. I think some more discussions and verifications needed before closing this afd.Vijesh sreenivasan (talk) 09:13, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You shouldn't expect readily available news articles in the Roman alphabet as sources for a Chinese architect born in 1935. I've cited a couple of the many book sources available, including one published by a university press with at least 900 words about the subject (Google Books doesn't show me anything after the first page).

Having said that I see that, although they might not be suspected, there are readily available news articles in the Roman alphabet to be found simply by clicking on the word "news" in the searches automatically provided by the nomination procedure, including confirmation of the academy membership by The New York Times, the South China Morning Post etc. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:55, 3 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
