Article fails to meet the WP:BIO requirements and contains no references. The subject of the article is not known whether to be real or a part of historical fiction. Should either be merged or deleted. Ozgod 06:15, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Very important figure in Shu Han's history.  --Nlu (talk) 06:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per Nlu, Three Kingdoms is not historical fiction. _dk 06:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Does subject fall under the biography category, however? Can this be cleared up in the article? Or should the article be merged to Shu Han? --Ozgod 06:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * How does the subject not fall under the biography category if the subject is a real person? I'm not sure if I understand your question. _dk 06:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Was the subject an actual person or a fictitious character in an historical fiction work? --Ozgod 06:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * He was real and fairly important, thus our keep votes. _dk 06:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Important figure in Shu Han history as mentioned above. AQu01rius (User &#149; Talk) 07:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep This person is a historical person and he has a bio in the official history of the Three Kingdoms. I suggest that that those who create bios of historical Chinese personaliies create more content before they hit the save button and add sources, so we don't get AfDs like this.--Niohe 15:52, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Fairly important Three Kingdoms-era figure. Shimeru 18:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Comment Niohe, the person who created this article was notorious for refusing to abide by Wikipedia rules on copyright and style.  He has since been blocked indefinitely for repeated copyright violations, and so I don't think you need to worry about him.  The question is what to do with the bunches of unsourced and poorly written articles he wrote.  --Nlu (talk) 15:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, got it!--Niohe 16:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * keep and source Apparently the best course of action would be a subproject for these 3 kingdoms articles. It might not be difficult to improve them as a group. This requires someone who can handle the names, both in characters and in standard transliteration.DGG 02:53, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
