From VfD:

I question this person's notability. The article does say that during the period During this period 1959-1974 "he was known as the most successful barrister in Hong Kong ever" but gives no citation or evidence. Apparently notable within the Hong Kong legal community, but isn't that being a big frog in a rather small pond? Being "an advocate for the merging of the legal professions in Hong Kong (barristers and solicitors)" would not be a very significant achievement even if the merging had taken place. Google testing not very easy due to commonness of the name Charles Ching, but googling on "Charles Ching" "hong kong" judge yields 27 displayed hits, the rest of the other 79 being "very similar."Dpbsmith 12:27, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

NEUTRAL: Would someone from Hong Kong or who knows Hong Kong well like to weigh in? -- Jmabel 02:02, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)

This needs input from someone in Hong Kong, I don't think the size of the country is an issue here. Secretlondon 05:21, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The HK Bar Association indeed has a scholarship named after the late Charles Ching, confirming at least this part of the article in question. (Please see http://www.hkba.org/the-bar/funds/funds5.html ) The guy may be a local hero. KEEP.

BTW, somebody has to tell this anon. contributor 66.80.89.85 to get a username and wikify his/her articles. His/her other contributions are similar articles about old or dead lawyers. Where is the Wikipedia:Welcoming committee when we need them ? -- PFHLai 13:03, 2004 Jul 19 (UTC)

Seems to me that we've got a bit of consensus that high court judges belong, based on Category:Lists of judges. The Hong Kong Bar Association has an obituary confirming many of the basics of the article [1], and "charles ching" shows up as Mr. Justice Ching in the domains in .gov.hk [2]. The relatively low number of hits are likely due to language issues. Keep. -- Cyrius|✎ 02:03, 20 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Keep. Encourage author to make a username & keep contributing. Btw I'm inclined to think Hong Kong is indeed a sizeable pond, legally speaking. Wile E. Heresiarch 22:43, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Anyone have time to check the hardcopies of Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Reports for Ching PJ's farewell sitting? According to Li CJ's press release (http://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/200011/30/1130171.htm%7Cpublisher=info.gov.hk), it should be available in the law reports, but a search in westlaw returns only the farewell sittings of Li CJ in 2010, Bokhary PJ in 2012 and Chan PJ in 2013. akoo (talk) 10:53, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
