Role in the Community

  • Profiled in the TA.org story corpus (band B, community historical record): 06 (published 2015-06-28). Re-verified 2026-09-22, 2026-09-25, 2026-09-26 (slice 09251054-32), 2026-10-01 (slice 09261419-15): fresh ZH+EN sweep (fixed ERE grep + whole-vault disambiguation sweep), no independent corpus material beyond his own encyclopedia entry.
  • No narrative memoir text in the corpus beyond this bibliographic record; full text stays in the vault.
  • HOLD: probable identity split vs Lin Yuan-qing (林元清) — same person name 林元清. The 2017 TAHS Publication interview 集集小孩力爭上游 林元清醫師專訪 describes an orthopedic/hand surgeon (residency at Johns Hopkins / Baltimore Union Hospital, practice in Alhambra CA, later Chief of Staff re-elected ~1990, left Kaiser ~Dec 1978). The Who’s Who fields on this page are thinner (B.S. 醫學 from 台北醫學院; 市長 at 聖瑪利諾, 院長 at 信安醫院) — the 2017 interview names neither 聖瑪利諾 nor 信安醫院, and this page names neither Alhambra nor the residency site. Either one person’s two partial renderings or two different 林元清. Not auto-merged (never auto-merge identity/credential conflicts).
  • HOLD re-checked 2026-10-07 (deepen-x slice 10051918-22): cross-read against the full Lin Yuan-qing (林元清) page, which carries the 2017 TAHS interview content (父親 林智煉; 建中 → 台北醫學院; residency Johns Hopkins/Baltimore Union; Kaiser Harbor City → resigned Dec 1978 → Alhambra practice). That page still names neither 聖瑪利諾 nor 信安醫院 nor any San Marino office, and this page still names neither Alhambra nor the residency — no overlap found, split stays unresolved. The full 293-line interview text is not in the vault (sources/2017-tahs-publication.md holds only the index row for 林元清), so the earlier “open the interview” deepen-next is closed as not-actionable; resolution needs the source publication itself.

Re-check (deepen-x 10070500-17, 2026-10-08): fresh ZH+EN grep across works/articles/sources/events/topics — hits = own record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/467-matthew-lin-e6-9e-97-e5-85-83-e6-b8-85-201506|TAH #467]] + index/source digests + the 2017-publication index row only; record is bibliographic-only. Verified-saturated; SKIP stands. The identity-split HOLD vs Lin Yuan-qing (林元清) remains open (needs the source publication itself, not in vault).
