Comment - He was a fellow at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2011, so, if verified, passes WP:NACADEMICS which says he's notable if he's "been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association" Article currently makes no claim to notability. this Baidu Baike article would be a good place to start if you can read Chinese. There are lots of people named Zhu Di and I wasn't able to quickly find English-language articles on the subject. Note, WP doesn't require sources to be in English. - Metal lunchbox ^(talk) 23:56, 9 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep - I've added sources and expanded the article. He's an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was the president of Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Clearly meets WP:NACADEMICS. -Zanhe (talk) 04:55, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. Another reference added. Clearly satisifes academic notability criteria as both a university professor and a member of CASS. Philg88 ^♦talk 06:38, 10 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
