Keep. Changning (prince) will never become a major article, but it doesn't deserve deletion. I agree that if Changning's only distinction was his link to the imperial family of the Qing dynasty, he wouldn't deserve his own wiki (per WP:ITSA, which you cite). But Changning was a major commander in an important event of the early Qing dynasty, namely the Qing campaigns against their Dzungar-Mongol enemy Galdan. Changning also has his own biography in a major biographical dictionary (Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing Period) and in the Draft History of Qing, two reference works that are considered reliable sources when writing about late-imperial Chinese history. Let me add a few more details about Changning's life and the campaigns he took part in. Thanks for testing the validity of this new page, by the way! Stubs like this one should be tested more often to see what they can really yield. Cheers, Madalibi (talk) 07:54, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I've added the extra information to the page. It should make the article look less stubby and more clearly not a candidate for deletion. Madalibi (talk) 08:20, 14 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
