Li Zaiping

Created by Zanhe (talk). Self-nominated at 19:12, 11 June 2018 (UTC).

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: No - Potentially misleading or otherwise unclear claim
  • Interesting: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Created 9 June, nominated 11 June. 1870 characters readable prose, Start class. Two sources; both appear reliable (CNS and an NGO called HLHL). Appears generally neutral. Per Earwig's Copyvio Detector, 8.3%, albeit language barrier with CNS source. Upon manual inspection, possible close paraphrasing, but difficult to tell due to language barrier (per a rough Google translate attempt, looks okay). Does not appear to have a corresponding page in ZH. QPQ verified, no pic used. The <200 character hook as currently worded, while hooky, may imply that Zaiping was the first to sequence a viral genome at all (which is not the case). It is also unclear in the source if the sequencing data itself directly resulted in the development of a HBV vaccine. I therefor propose this alternative:

ALT1: ... that Li Zaiping and his research group were the first to sequence a viral genome in China? ―Biochemistry🙴 00:39, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
@Biochemistry&Love: Thanks for your review. I'm fine with ALT1. -Zanhe (talk) 04:43, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
