 * Um, keep, rename and cleanup. He seems to be an important historical figure, so far I can tell. -Patstuarttalk 01:19, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * That he is obscure in the US or UK or wherever we might be editing from does not mean he's not notable. This is just a stub in need of attention.  Keep. --Dmz5 02:00, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand, you have to search in Baidu in Chinese to find more, and translate into English. We have tons of info on Simpsons characters and ones on historical people get deleted. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 02:07, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep He was an important historical figure. TSO1D 02:35, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I don't think Google searching for romanized Chinese names of ancient historical figures is a very helpful "indicator" of notability. Even then, I still found dozens of references in scholarly journals, films and history pages on Google about this person. Please include your search criteria so we can see what you searched for to get such a result. --Canley 02:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Rename to "Lan Yu (person)" to differentiate from the film. Perel 04:58, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, I would move to Lan Yu (general). --Dhartung | Talk 05:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
