Hi Zanhe, review follows: article created 17 November; article exceeds minimum length; article is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; the sources are not accessible to me so I can't make an assessment on any copyright violations (the news articles are in Chinese, the Journal of Asian Economics article is paywalled and I couldn't access the page for the Google Books reference); hook is interesting, mentioned in the article and cited; I couldn't access the hook source page so AGF on that; QPQ has been carried out. Looks good to me.
- I did find it interesting that he died the day he was due to collect a lifetime achievement award. I wonder if a hook could be made from it:
- ALT1: "... that Chinese economist Zhang Peigang died on the day he was due to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Huazhong University of Science and Technology?"
- But it would need checking by a third party, if you wanted to go with it - Dumelow (talk) 16:03, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
- @Dumelow: Google Books works in mysterious ways! I've tweaked the link above a bit (mainly changing Google.ca to Google.com), are you able to read it now? Thanks for your review and for proposing the new hook. I'm happy with ALT1 as well, the only drawback being that it'll require another review. -Zanhe (talk) 21:04, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
