- Thank you for an interesting life on stage, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and features the period nicely. The hook is possible, but I didn't even know what "Orientalist Theater" means until reading further. I am surprised that the play in which he played a Chinese character doesn't have an article yet. I could imagine of being specific by mentioning his role in it, getting it started, perhaps in a double nom. I'm willing to approve the original, though. In the image caption; I'd just give his surname because the article says he is known by it. I'd also give him an infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:13, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
- @Gerda Arendt: Thanks for the review. I don't add infoboxes to my articles so it's not really in my skill set to add one (I'm not opposed to one in this article). I would need assistance with that. We do need an article on the play and Orientalist theater for that matter, but those would both be large projects that would take time for me to research and build and I probably won't get to it in time for a double hook nom. I modified the caption as requested. Best.4meter4 (talk) 12:52, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
fine, you decide. I'll give him an infobox. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:50, 2 November 2025 (UTC)
