He Tian Hao

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This seems to be a hoax. It was created by a single-use account two years ago (literally the only edit), and has had only superficial changes since then. No references are cited. On the comment page, somebody else has suggested it may be false, as the instrument involved did not exist in its current form at that point. I can find no non-Wikipedia references on the web to this person. Rigadoun (talk) 05:01, 17 March 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete I can't find anything about the subject. ChildofMidnight (talk) 23:19, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Not sure if it's a hoax, but it's not notable. 7triton7 (talk) 05:32, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment It doesn't help much, but it's worth noting that we have an article about his "wife" too, Wen Peixin. No sources there either, though.  The two articles were written three months apart, by different accounts.  And by the way, erhu says that the instrument has existed for 1000 years, although used mainly for accompaniment before the 20th century. Looie496 (talk) 02:57, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The article fails the smell test, & combined with the other concerns Rigadoun raises would lead me to submit it for deletion. -- llywrch (talk) 23:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
