Keep: I think he would probably meet Wikipedia:Notability_(politicians) criterion 9 (sub-national legislators) by his position on the Xinyang standing committee. The standing committee is a fairly small body that holds the real power, and Xinyang has a population of 6.1 million in its administrative area. I'm not sure how many members are on that standing committee, but it's usually only a dozen or so. ~~All the companies he's chairman of seem to be owned by the city, so he's a politician rather than a businessman~~ (EDIT: no they're not, I was wrong about that), but some of them are fairly big; Xinyang Auspicious Tea Group apparently has assets of 1.85 billion RMB (~200 million USD). He probably doesn't qualify for notability as a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, because even though it's supposed to be an important national level decision-making body, in reality it has no power at all; it also has about 2000 members, and the 'national committee' just means the whole thing, not an important subcommittee. "11th member" isn't a ranking either, it's a mistranslation of "member of the 11th CPPCC" (2008-2012). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.249.54.254 (talk) 16:31, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
