My opinion is that Chang is not notable enough according to both the general notability guideline and notability (people) for a dedicated article. A Google search results in some hits, but I don't believe they reach the "significant coverage in independant, reliable sources" standard. Callanecc (talk • contribs) talkback (etc) template appreciated. 09:47, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article establishes his notability, and there is far more written about him in the Chinese language rather than in English. —Lowellian (reply) 20:36, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I also think the article makes a good case. As an aside this is a biography of a non-living person so the bar with regard to references is a little lower. Barring English (and the guy was based in China and Taiwan) a couple of Chinese references would at least be something.Peter Rehse (talk) 00:13, 27 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep My search leads me to believe he is notable, but I'm having trouble finding independent sources in English to support this. The best I can find is at http://www.shuai-chiao.org/#/gm-chang-tung-sheng/4547027914, but I don't think this is independent since the founders of the organization are from his lineage.
