Deepen-x re-check 2026-10-10 (slice 10090600-32)

Full-corpus sweep (李正福 / Cheng-Few Lee / 正福) re-confirmed the five cited work records (#70, Who’s Who #131, My Stories #557, Publications #1109, #276) as the only corpus material on this person; no new memoir or community-layer content found. One gap fixed: #276’s publication date 2014-11-26 (from the work record) was not previously on the page — added to Timeline with exact dates for the 2017 autobiography and essay. The 正福 hit in ourjourneys203 is a false positive (「反正福佬話」 substring, not the person). No conflicts to HOLD. No web, no new pages, nothing published.

Vault re-check 2026-09-14 (deepen-x slice 09140020-3, vault-only)

All five cited encyclopedia/work records re-verified on disk: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/70-prof-cheng-few-lee||TAH #70]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/whos-who-131-cheng-few-lee||TAH Who’s Who #131]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/mystories557||My Stories #557]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/publications1109||Publications #1109]], [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/276-e6-9d-8e-e6-ad-a3-e7-a6-8f-e8-87-aa-e8-bf-b0-e5-85-bc-e8-ab-87-e5-8f-b0-e7-8||TAH #276]]. All on-page facts (NTU B.A. 1962 / M.A. 1966, WVU M.S. 1970, SUNY Buffalo Ph.D. 1973, UIUC 1978–1988, Rutgers Distinguished Professor 1988–, Pacific Basin conference directorship 1993–) are already absorbed above; no additional vault-internal biography found. New link added: his Rutgers tenure (1988–) overlaps with the existence of the vault’s |Rutgers Taiwan Study Association — noted as campus context only, membership NOT documented. No web used, no new pages created, nothing published.
