Can't establish notability with reliable, independent sources. Please note that the one reference in this article does not lead to any substantive information. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 17:55, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep with major expansion from zh:王纘緒, which uses six cited books and pieces of historic records. A high-ranking general and significant involvement in Second Sino-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War for WP:SOLDIER. PS. This is the second Sino-Japanese War general AfD I see since Dong Zhao in a very short interval now. Maybe experts from related projects can deal with these notable stub-stubs once and for all?  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 13:22, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I would be thrilled to see experts from related projects take on some of these stub articles--this article, for example, has been tagged for notability and expansion since 2008! (Maybe because available sources are not in English, which can be...challenging...) Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 15:00, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep Enough sources for WP:BASIC.Antigng (talk) 12:44, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Did you even bother looking at the interwiki links? Passes WP:SOLDIER. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I had difficulty finding this article on the other language wikis so I searched some of the academic databases I have access to and couldn't find anything--that's why I questioned notability. Hisashiyarouin linked to the appropriate article and it's now easy to see how Zuanxu passes given the information provided at zh:王纘緒. Fisheriesmgmt (talk) 16:41, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I continue to be mystified at the number of editors who feel qualified to propose articles for deletion but are not experienced enough on Wikipedia to follow interwiki links. At the bottom of the lefthand column of the article, under the header "Languages", you will find links to the article on both Chinese and Japanese Wikipedias. Just a friendly suggestion, but why not get some more editing experience in before you try to get articles deleted? -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 18 March 2015 (UTC)
