If it was on zh-wp and if it is me whom you wrote I would do following: I would put the article to vote for delete with a remark that the person requested for delete. I would put a remark in village pump because this is a delete request that is not under the usual procedure to get more attention and I would leave a remark with link on the Skype chat room (this mainly because of the chinese community heavily use Skype) I would also leave a remark on the user talk page who had created or largely extended the article about the delete request. So it is either a per default keep nor a per default delete. I think it is a your attention please we need talk about this.
