Notability based on one event only - and even that appears to be based on speculation as to the possibility that she inadvertently alerted the authorities to her parents' plot against Mao. Subject is covered fully at Lin Biao. Also long-term unreferenced biography of a living person. Sources could be found if a decision is made to keep.

Comment I found at least one source that details her personal involvement during the Cultural Revolution.[1]. She is also well known in China as historian in her own right.--PCPP (talk) 12:57, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd found that source as well (it was one of the sources I mention which could be found to establish that she exists), but it doesn't really help establish notability in her own right. If you can provide more details and sources for the "well-known in China as a historian" to a level which meets WP:PROF that would be an enormous help.--Plad2 (talk) 17:31, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I found a Chinese source which goes into more detail about her involvement in the Modern China Research Dept of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, but I don't know it satisfies WP:RS.--PCPP (talk) 12:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Chinese source from User:PCPP is user-edited and says it's based on (but doesn't mirror) the Chinese WP entry, I'd say that it therefore isn't a WP:RS. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:14, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lin Biao, if that can be cleaned up to make the redirect less confusing, or Delete-- unless better sources can be found for independent notability outside, per BLP1E. --j⚛e decker ^talk 18:18, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Lin Biao, as the article now stands with the currently available references WP:BASIC is not met. Text can easily be put back into the article is sources surface in the future. J04n(talk page) 15:56, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
