Fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. Most likely COI: major contributors User:Jing1271 and User:Jingwang1271 have contributed to this article only. For years, all the content was copied from the artist's website, which I have now removed.

The only significant coverage I've found is this article on Newsweek. There are several more mentions in passing, mostly related to competitions. Per WP:MUSICBIO though, he has not won a major competition. intforce (talk) 00:35, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I have added some of the subject's competitive appearances and a bylined review of his album. As the subject is an early career musician, still appearing in competitions (e.g. the delayed XVIII International Chopin Piano Competition [1]), regrettably in this field of endeavour his awards seem to fall short of WP:MUSICBIO criterion 9. I think this is a case of WP:TOOSOON to demonstrate notability by WP:MUSICBIO criteria 8 or 9. AllyD (talk) 07:47, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
