Non-notable short story. Refs consist mostly of citations to a primary source (Sondergrad). Significant discussion in secondary sources appears to be lacking. KDS4444 (talk) 11:42, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep At least 5 useful English-language results in Google Books. More in Chinese. Timmyshin (talk) 00:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep (SondergARd, by the way) One of the more notable (and longer) Liaozhai entries. Easily passes GNG at the very least, and I can tell you that the Chinese-lang coverage on this is way more extensive, so perhaps one should not let his EL bias (if any) get in the way. A rule of thumb is that most, if not all, of the Liaozhai stories warrant entries in the project. My goal is to actualise that. It will take some time!

 * Even as far as EL sources are concerned, there is ample coverage. (See references section and other relevant ones.) I have found at least two studies examining the story as well as the two plays it was adapted into -- more on that in a later time. Kingoflettuce (talk) 05:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
