Promo piece with no good indication of notability. English language sources about this person are almost nonexistent, the few ones that I found don't have enough SIGCOV. Taiwanese sources also don't seem to talk much about this person, though reading them is difficult for me since I don't speak the language.

This article was created at User:JJJoyyy/sandbox as part of this university education program. It was recently moved to mainspace by User:Ytlin77 (who, judging by their name, may be Ai-Lin herself), who said in the talk page of this article that this page was written by her classmates.

Comment: There's no evidence for a conflict of interest. Per your link, the university course is instructed by Yen-Ting Megan Lin, who looks like a better fit for a username including Ytlin. The "Lin" in Yan's name is 琳 and the instructor's name is likely 林, not the same word. CohenTheBohemian (talk) 00:27, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, these seem to be two different people. In that case there doesn't seem to be any coi here. SparklyNights (t) 01:33, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the comments. I moved the article back to Draft status due to the quality concern and work on the revision later. Ytlin77 (talk) 04:44, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the article itself. Point 1 of WP:ANYBIO says "The person has received a well-known and significant award or honor"; the Awards section lists several prizes, some are national and at least one international, which seem to fit the bill. The statement that one of her books was "the first collection of erotic poems written by a female poet in Taiwan" implies that the spirit, if not the letter, of WP:POET 2 applies, and there's cites to criticism of her work, so it looks like point 3 also applies.

I don't see why the nomination describes this page as a "promo piece", nor the "no good indication of notability". This, added to the nominator's incorrect claims about conflict of interest editing here and on the article's talk page, makes me wonder if the page is a candidate for speedy keep under WP:CSK point 3 "No accurate deletion rationale has been provided."

Withdraw. This page wasn't what I thought, it looks like it passes ANYBIO. SparklyNights (t) 17:48, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
