Qing literati

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Virtual orphan (one linked article). No substantial development for years. Few page views. Misleading or incorrect material. Edit and merge into new section "Qing dynasty" @ Landed gentry in China would make that a more useful article. ch (talk) 05:09, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep: First 3 All 4 reasons stated are not valid reasons for deletion. Also, AfD is not the correct venue to specifically request a merger. See: AfD and mergers (It's ok by the way, I made this exact mistake myself back in the day). Curbon7 (talk) 06:46, 9 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: If the article contains incorrect information, that should be corrected, but (outside of WP:TNT) error does not provide grounds to delete an article. The literati context during the Qing period figures in, for example, biographies of Zhang Binglin, and does seem worthy of specific coverage, for example linking 考证学 (on which en.wiki has a Kaozheng article).
