Could not quite figure out what this guy does, but none of the sources cited seem to be actually about him. Ref no. 3, the webpage of AADCU, his main company/venture/organization/whatever, is a dead link. Googling does not produce much either. Nsk92 (talk) 03:17, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No Reliable, independent sources. The Baidu site is, I believe, something like Wikipedia. In other words, it is not Reliable. BeenAroundAWhile (talk) 07:42, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note: Baidu Baike is an online, collaboratively built encyclopedia, just like Wikipedia. Baike is also censored by the government. I've removed all the Baike refs. Bgwhite (talk) 21:28, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

of course find sources of Bruce Q, Lan Just would be try best for impoving of the page of Brcuce Q.Lan, Bruce is a very important figuer make contrubution to the field of architecture design, acting like designer,curator and editor, not only in China, but also to United States and Europe. Over 40 architectural books he curated and edited and published, he used to work with someone like Eric Owen Moss, Neil Denari,Hernan Diaz Alonso ect. if you know these guys how important to Amrican's architecture design, then you know what Bruce is... he worked in Beijing, no wonder sources come from Baidu,yeah...since the chinese verison Wikipedia has been blocked by chinese government, like google and other USA's internet media, so today the Baidu is the only and leading source to Chinese society, in the article of Bruce Q. Lan, the source link of his published books, you can find half sources from library database of University of Illinois, The Ohio State University and Getty Institution,here looking forward to hear from you guys again... many thanks!Susanzone77 (talk) 14:37, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - there appears to be not a single source about this person, rather than publications edited by him. The walls of citations and excuses do not help. In the end, the page is little more than a resume. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I don't see anything in the references that resembles and independent, reliable source saying something about the subject. Mduvekot (talk) 23:33, 19 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
