 * Keep this Tang dynasty poem is widely anthologized. It's not much discussed in English, but it is in Chinese, where it's still the subject of published papers (see the bibliography here) and even public controversy!. It was also part of an important anthology for Zen monks in Japan, where it was the subject of discussion and interpretation.--Jahaza (talk) 02:42, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: Maybe not the most anthologised/translated poem by Du Mu, but the sources identified by demonstrate its resonance both in Chinese and other cultures. Searches also find a recent academic dissertation ("Experiential Metafunctional Analysis of Shan Xing") which discusses its various translations. AllyD (talk) 10:24, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep based on the sources found by Jahaza. Mccapra (talk) 11:49, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Agree per previous comments. Also, there are some sources in English on this poem. For example, as mentioned above Communication Across Borders: Translation & Interpreting published the article "Experiential Metafunctional Analysis of 'Shan Xing' and Its English Versions" (available as PDF download). I also found other scholarly papers in English covering this poem including "Some Remarks on the Earliest Poetry of Guo Moruo (1904-12)" by Barbora Vesterová from Frontiers of Literary Studies in China. --SouthernNights (talk) 12:33, 1 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above, and more sources available from a Google Scholar search for "山行" and "杜牧". Easily passes GNG with Chinese-language sources. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 20:04, 1 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep Agree with all the excellent comments and elaborations above. Zhoudadudu (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep, per the sources mentioned above. Furthermore, on an unrelated matter, I will note that this is the first deletion discussion of 2023 (created at seven minutes past midnight, UTC). Happy new year! jp×g 16:12, 2 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep - I agree with all the reasons above, this page should be kept. Tempest7211 (talk) 10:02, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep and expand with international sources if possible. For organization, this can be merged / expanded / re-split, but that's not an AFD issue. Archrogue (talk) 19:44, 4 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Keep I really hope this gets expanded, because I found some translations and I think this article can be expanded so much in the future. Equine-man (talk) 21:11, 6 January 2023 (UTC)
