There are reviews in Publishers Weekly[1], Kirkus[2] and apparently Multicultural Review (EBSCOHOST gives: Boy Dumplings, Lee, Ginny, Multicultural Review; Spring2010, Vol. 19 Issue 1, p66), and an article in The Mercury News [3]. Merge to author's page Ying Chang Compestine would make more sense than deletion, if a keep isn't merited. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:29, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I don;t think any of the reviews are substantial coverage. In particular, Kirkus is no longer considered a RS for anything--they do reviews for payment. DGG ( talk ) 12:33, 1 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I can find no independent, reliable coverage of the topic. The sources provided are wholly unreliable as they have had a history of selling reviews (e.g.). DrStrauss talk 21:27, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
