Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sin Chow-Yiu (2nd nomination)
Satisfies criterion 5 of : "The person holds or has held a named/personal chair appointment or "Distinguished Professor" appointment at a major institution of higher education and research."  From what I know (at least that is the case in my own area, mathematics), the University of Hong Kong is indeed a major research university with academic standards comparable to the best western universities and I would assume that having an endowed chair appointment there has basically equivalent meaning. He is also the Chief Editor of the "Journal of Oriental Studies" (I have added a reference verifying this to the article) which may qualify under criterion 8 of . I am not sure about the standing of this journal, but it is reasonably widely held by the U.S. academic libraries according to WorldCat datahttp://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1639703&tab=holdings?loc=90095. I admit that I am bothered by the lack of googlescholar/books hits but I am assuming that he publishes in Chinese (could also be due to difference in name spelling). In this case, especially in view of , I am inclined to give the benefit of the doubt
