All existing sources are offline which can't prove notability as I have found nothing literary in Google Books search. Twinkle1990 (talk) 15:44, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Offline sources are valid for notability. It's not surprising that they're tricky to find on Google Books, since they appear broadly non-English. There are articles on Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese wikis.— Moriwen (talk) 15:50, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Your claims in Google books search are just mentions only. If you are so confident, please pull WP:THREE from GOOGLE BOOKS with WP:SIGCOV. Twinkle1990 (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Moriwen. Mccapra (talk) 16:02, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you keep asking me for three sources for every one of these on the basis of an essay you like I'm afraid I'll take all day and I do have other things to do. However I randomly pulled one of the sources on google books and it, in fact, has significant coverage. I'd suggest, if you are going to mass AfD notable figures from the Three Kingdoms period, that you be a bit more careful in your literature review before proposing deletion.

Keep plenty of sources available to build a proper article from. There's no real deletion rationale here. SportingFlyer T·C 00:25, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. No deletion rationale. Offline sources are perfectly valid. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:38, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NOMINATION WITHDRAWN. I'm happily withdrawing this AfD nomination. What I needed to know Necrothesp explained as "Offline sources are perfectly valid" despite identifiers were mostly missing. This AfD will help me. Thanks to all. Please close the AfD. Twinkle1990 (talk) 14:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
