 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Speedy Keep - nomination fails WP:BEFORE. The article is poorly written, but the uprising, China's first peasant rebellion which eventually overthrew the Qin empire. is a seminal event in Chinese history. It is by no means apocryphal, and well recorded in the contemporary history Shiji. The nominator has not done even a cursory search on Google books, as there are thousands of academic English sources describing this event: see search results. -Zanhe (talk) 19:17, 3 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Chen Sheng per WP:REDUNDANTFORK. As far as I can see there's nothing on this page that isn't already covered by Chen Sheng, and I doubt additional material can be found that doesn't directly pertain to Chen Sheng or Wu Guang (e.g. social/economic effect of the uprising, but that information wasn't recorded in history for this period). This isn't the case of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom where rebels established a somewhat functional and durable government with a variety of historical sources that we can use.

 * Keep name/title for Redirect to Chen Sheng. Kierzek (talk) 14:56, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Zanhe. I would rather merge Chen Sheng and Wu Guang into this article than merging the article on the rebellion to the article of one of the leaders. But there's no reason why all three can't have articles. Patar knight - chat/contributions 21:34, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as the improved sourcing demonstrates notability. Whether the articles about the leaders Chen Sheng and Wu Guang could be merged here can proceed outside of AfD in the normal couse of editing. 24.151.116.12 (talk) 18:21, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
