General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Both article need end-of-sentence cites for the fact of him discovering the city. The source confirms the claim ("He discovered the Shang deposits at Daxinzhuang"). The source is a doctoral dissertation, but it seems to have a decent number of citations according to Scholar, so I think it's fine to use. Earwig's clear for both articles and no other issues I can see, so gtg once the end-of-sentence cites are added. AryKun (talk) 13:28, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
