  • |Keng-Wei William Kuo (郭耿維) — fellow TAH musician-profile subject; his record likewise places graduate study at the University of North Texas

Vault Cross-check (deepen pass 2026-09-10, vault-only)

  • Publication dates absorbed from the vault records themselves: the #190 pianist profile was published 2015-04-26 and the #359 profile 2015-04-15; both are held as Band-B bibliographic records (full text remains in the TAH archive).
  • The reciprocal note on |Keng-Wei William Kuo (郭耿維) independently corroborates the UNT Denton, TX graduate study recorded above — the two TAH musician profiles are the vault’s only cross-referencing pair for that institution.
  • No further biographical facts are absorbable vault-side: the vault holds no band-A (oral/community-history) material on this subject.
  • 2026-09-14 (DEEPEN-X09112200-5): cross-link re-check — 國立台灣師範大學, University of North Texas and Dr. Pamela Mia Paul have no vault pages, so institutions and mentor stay plain text; the reciprocal note on 郭耿維 and both TAH #190 / #359 work records still resolve; no new absorbable vault-side facts.
  • 2026-09-14 (slice 09141059-3): re-verify (vault-only) — no further vault-internal facts to absorb; all cross-references resolve to existing vault pages. Status unchanged: saturated, pending-verification.
