Vault records (deepen pass 2026-09-10)

  • Two TAH encyclopedia entries for him are preserved in the vault: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/253-paul-c-tsai-e8-94-a1-e6-ad-a3-e9-a9-8a-201502||TAH #253: Paul C. Tsai 蔡正驊 / 2015-02]] and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/139-paul-c-tsai-e8-94-a1-e6-ad-a3-e9-a9-8a-baritone-201502||TAH #139: Paul C. Tsai 蔡正驊, Baritone / 2015-02]] — the records behind his Milano conservatory diploma (1983), opera/cantata solo career, 1989–1991 North America concert tours, and current Houston choral posts.
  • His Houston base overlaps the vault’s |Taiwanese Association of America Houston Chapter regional community (no direct membership recorded).
  • Corpus sweep 2026-09-14: SKIP-with-reason — grep of works/ and articles/ for 蔡正驊/Paul C. Tsai returns only his own two TAH records (#253, #139, already linked above); no memoir/community mention elsewhere in the corpus, nothing absorbable.
  • Slice deepen-x-09142101-5 re-sweep: same result — only his own TAH 139 records plus index listings; SKIP-with-reason stands.
  • Deepen re-check 2026-09-14 (vault-only): no vault page yet exists for the Houston Chinese Children’s Choir / Youth Orchestra / Christian Chorus or for 北美中華福音神學院 itself, but the 中華福音神學院 teaching network he belongs to is recorded via colleagues — |Timothy S. Wu (中華福音神學院 professor, 研發部部長) and |S. T. Liu (中華福音神學院 M.S. 聖經, 1987). Institutional affiliation only; no direct collaboration recorded.
  • Corpus grep (slice 09150316-5, 2026-09-15): the only non-bibliographic hit is the church-planting memoir [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ourjourneys43|TAH #43：聖恩長老敎會設敎經過／劉照男]], which records「Rev. Paul Tsai (March 1999–June 2002)」as the first organized pastor of Grace Taiwanese PC (NJ, chartered 2005-12-06). HOLD: identity vs this baritone/music-educator subject unverified — that memoir’s Paul Tsai is titled “Rev.” and served New Jersey, while this page’s record is a Houston choral posts / 北美中華福音神學院 baritone. No merge. Other hits were his own TAH 139 records and index lines; the taiwanjustice-net hit is “Paul Tsai China Center” (蔡中曾中心), unrelated. Nothing absorbable; SKIP-with-reason stands.
  • Slice deepen-x-10090600-31 re-sweep (2026-10-10): full-corpus grep (蔡正驊 / Paul C. Tsai / Paul Tsai / 蔡正华 / Houston choral org names / 北美中華福音神學院) returns the identical hit set — ourjourneys43 (Rev. Paul Tsai, NJ pastorate; HOLD stands, no merge), the taiwanjustice-net article (Paul Tsai China Center / 蔡中曾中國中心, Yale — unrelated namesake), plus his own TAH 139 records and index listings. No new community/memoir material. SKIP-with-reason confirmed.
  • 複核（deepen-x slice 10170500-3, 2026-10-17）：本卡唯一列檔（20250512063823 taiwanjustice-net 關稅戰報導）正文逐檔讀取驗證——全文「蔡正驊」命中 0 筆，唯一「Tsai」命中為耶魯法學院「蔡中曾中國中心」（Paul Tsai China Center）資深研究員董雲裳引述語，該檔 Subjects 列的本頁連結系自動連結器偽命中；quote candidate 為該偽命中 subject 存根、非本人言論，故未貼入 Quotes。檔以一個 wikilink 收入 From the record 並標註身份 HOLD。fresh sweep（蔡正驊／Paul C. Tsai／Paul Tsai across people/articles/works/sources/events/topics/organizations）：除本頁 own records、index/sources hub 與該 TJJ 檔外，新增唯一命中為 Rev. Ben M.C. Hsieh 的教會關聯網條目，將 ourjourneys14/#43 之「Paul C. Tsai」並列於謝敏川 NJ/南PA 長老教會圈——該條目所據仍是 ourjourneys43 之「Rev. Paul Tsai（1999/03–2002/06）聖恩長老教會首任組織化牧師」，與本頁 Houston 聖樂／男聲紀錄無重疊證據（無 Houston／音樂身分、無時間與地點交集），HOLD 維持、不併檔、不改寫日期。仍無本人社群語料。
