It might be that there are sources in Chinese, but I could find zero coverage which even shows this person (or perhaps a character from folklore) existed.  Onel 5969  TT me 15:50, 20 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator - as per sourcing for alternate name. Will move the article to the more appropriate title.  Onel 5969  TT me 23:31, 21 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep and Move to Lin Daoqian (edited per below) I appreciate the nominator does not speak Chinese, however even the Chinese Wikipedia article has four sources, and there are more available via Google. I will not go into detail because my Chinese is not good enough to do so. However this is enough to meet the requirements of WP:V and there is thus no deletion reason.

 * Keep but move to Lin Daoqian - I find few modern English references to Vintoquián (most use the form Vintoquian) in Google Books, there are however numerous reference to Lin Daoqian (a few to the Wade-Giles spelling of Lin Tao-ch'ien -, , , , , , .  Vintoquian appears to be more favoured in older English and European (French and Spanish) sources - , , , but current usage would suggest that Lin Daoqian should be used. The lack of sources for Vintoquián appear to have led to a mistaken belief that there are few sources for the person and therefore not notable, when there are more sources under different names.

 * Keep and move to Lin Daoqian per . Vintoquián is an early Western corruption of Lin Daoqian. The old name has fallen out of usage in modern literature, but the subject is doubtless notable. See Google books results for Lin Daoqian. -Zanhe (talk) 19:17, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
