Just based on article alone, there seems to be insufficient notability (and the article was written like a "memorial page"); delete. --Nlu (talk) 21:04, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. A basic English google search brings up a lot of hits that suggest it would be overly zealous to delete this article based on its unsourced content alone. And that's after a search in English. I suspect there'd be a lot more material in Chinese. The article needs references though and a re-write for POV reasons. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep The article certainly needs sourcing and a rewrite, but I've been able to find a number of Chinese martial artists who trace their training back to him. While not a guarantee of notability, it's a good start. I also found him mentioned as an excellent fighter in a December 2004 article in Inside Kung Fu magazine. FYI, I also saw his name written as Chu Gui Ting. Like Mkativerata, I would expect there to be a lot more info on him in Chinese language sources.
