- Keep: I would add that I believe the subject is inherently and clearly notable, as an international conglomerateur as well as an awardee of both the Gold Bauhinia Star and the OBE, as well as for the other accomplishments cited in the article.

- Keep WP:BIO says "A person is generally notable if...The person has received a notable award or honor". Looking at two what I believe to be reliable sources for the purpose of verifying whether Yei-ching has an OBE, [1], and [2], it does seem he has an OBE, which I believe is a notable award. Plus, this confirms he has an Order of the Rising Sun (with additional honours): [3]. As a result, I am satisfied that he is notable for an article on Wikipedia.

- Keep I'm not sure if I consider bios on University websites reliable. They're usually written by someone close to the subject. We should probably reference whoever gives the award instead. Still, the other one is amply referenced. - Mgm|(talk) 12:23, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
