  The magazine article notes from Google Translate: "Zhang Ling (Canadian female writer, vice president of Canadian Chinese PEN Association, author of novels "Looking at the Moon" and "The Staggered Other Shore"): 'Encountering the passion of poetry in an era lacking the atmosphere of poetry is an emotional dislocation. Chuan Sha's collection of poems "The Crowd Dragging the Shadow" brings us such an emotional dislocation. Emotional dislocation often leads to jumps in thinking. On the jumping and disjointed road of thinking, we are controlled by Chuan Sha, and we unknowingly step into a state of searching. In the end we discovered that what we found was a long-lost link in the chain of poetry.'" The article also includes biographical coverage about Chuan Sha: "Canadian Chinese writer and poet. Born in Chongqing, Sichuan, China, his ancestral home is Shandong. Graduated from Sichuan University and worked as a literary editor in a publishing house in China. He went to the UK in 1991 and immigrated to Canada in 1999. Currently the editor-in-chief of Canada Poseidon Publishing House."

Keep while I am unable to access sources 3 and 5, the other three appear to be sufficient to establish notability. NemesisAT (talk) 12:01, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep While the article needs to have the references listed above added, there are enough citations to prove notability. In particular, his poetry is reprinted in Language for a New Century: Contemporary Poetry from the Middle East, Asia, and Beyond, which is a major Norton anthology. That alone proves notability.--SouthernNights (talk) 12:49, 7 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
