From the corpus (work pages)

  • Own encyclopedia record held as a corpus work page: 2133. Rev. Thomas H. Chen 陳宏文牧師, 2018-06-14.
  • Corpus re-check (2026-09-21, deepen-x slice 09201500-1, vault-only): grep of works + articles for 陳宏文 / Thomas H. Chen returns the same set already absorbed above (#610 retirement album, #407 堅韌的愛, Our Journeys 38/106 灣區協志會 records, #2133 encyclopedia, #307 陳秋貴 disambig) — no new absorbable material; both湾區-person HOLDs stand. Verify-saturated.
  • Corpus re-check (2026-09-22, deepen-x slice 09211400-1, vault-only): grep of works + articles for 陳宏文 / Thomas H. Chen returns the identical hit set (#307, mystories407, ourjourneys38, #610, ourjourneys106, whos-who-2133) already absorbed above; no new absorbable material; both灣區-person HOLDs stand.
  • Retirement commemorative album record: [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/610-e5-8d-97-e7-81-a3-e5-8f-b0-e7-81-a3-e5-9f-ba-e7-9d-a3-e9-95-b7-e8-80-81-e6-9|TAH #610 設教二十周年暨陳宏文牧師榮退感恩禮拜紀念]], 2009-06 — matches the 1989–2009 南灣長老教會 tenure in the employment table. Reciprocal link repaired (2026-10-13, deepen-x slice 10130900-12): this work page lists 陳宏文牧師 as a subject but the page’s two back-links previously pointed at the retired provisional slug …e7-81-ba… (redirect stub) instead of the canonical …e7-81-a3… file — both corrected so the reciprocal link resolves.
  • Disambiguation: corpus record [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/307-thomas-chen-e9-99-b3-e7-a7-8b-e8-b2-b4201502|TAH #307 Thomas Chen 陳秋貴]] is a different Thomas Chen (陳秋貴); not merged.
  • English counterpart of the 1979 airport case: Our Journeys 38 (EN), TAFNC Thirty Year Review names “Thomas H. Chen” among the accused (Tu Chen, Winston H. Chen, Fu-Mei Chang, Thomas H. Chen, Yung-hao Hsieh) — same event as ourjourneys38 ZH; identity HOLD with the 明州／南灣牧師 stands.
  • Corpus re-check (2026-10-12, deepen-x slice 10110805-12, vault-only): ZH+EN grep across works/articles/sources/events/topics returns the identical hit set (#307, mystories407, ourjourneys38/39/106, #610 retirement album, whos-who-2133, ota-275) already absorbed above — no new absorbable material; both灣區-person HOLDs and the ota-275 mis-subject HOLD stand. Verify-saturated.
  • Corpus re-check (2026-10-10, deepen-x slice 10081500-12, vault-only): ZH+EN grep across works/articles/sources/events/topics — new hit set adds only Our Journeys 38 (EN) (absorbed above) and [[works/taiwaneseamericanhistory-org/ota-275|OTA #275 Thomas Chen 陳秋貴]], whose Subjects list carries a rev-thomas-h-chen link though its body is the 陳秋貴 record — likely a mis-subject link on that work page; HOLD, not absorbed. All other hits identical to prior re-checks; both灣區-person HOLDs stand.
  • Corpus re-check (2026-10-13, deepen-x slice 10121000-29, vault-only): ZH+EN+宏文 grep across works/articles/sources/events/topics returns the identical absorbed hit set (#307, mystories407, ourjourneys38/39/106, #610 retirement album, whos-who-2133, ota-275) plus index/sources listing entries only; the three new file hits are false positives — 嘉南大圳紀念 articles match Japanese senator 瀧波宏文, 林保華 op-eds use 宏文 as a common noun (「長篇宏文」), and the Pew statement names Thomas Cheng, not Thomas H. Chen. No new absorbable material; both灣區-person HOLDs and the ota-275 mis-subject HOLD stand. Verify-saturated.
