• Delete per WP:V. There are no independent sources currently cited in the article, which is the only thing that matters to readers to be able to verify the contents. Sandstein 15:36, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

:*I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=China_Lutheran_Seminary&diff=954781730&oldid=953734765 added] the two sources I found to the article's "Further reading" section. Cunard (talk) 08:27, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

• Keep IF the sources of Cunard can be verified as reliable and accurate. Sources on the page are not good enough; if Cunard's sources are good, they need to be added to the page. We need a Chinese speaker. Ikjbagl (talk) 05:29, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
