[edit] Jiang Chun-Xuan
Fringe mathematician of questionable notability who claims to have proven most well-known open questions in number theory. Seems to lack independent sources (there are plenty of papers written by the subject, and published by the Institute for Basic Research, a fringe science organization which is itself of questionable notability. Its previous AfD closed as a "keep" for the dubious reason that we'd "like a neutral article about this organization".Anyway, I recommend we delete the article unless independent sources can be found to meet WP:BIO.

- Comment. Does China Daily count as a reliable source? Because it's clearly a story about him, possibly indicating notability despite his fringiness. According to this link, which appears to be a blog post, he's also appeared on some Phoenix TV show. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:20, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
