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)[reply]

• Keep. Very important figure in Shu Han's history. --Nlu (talk) 06:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Nlu, Three Kingdoms is not historical fiction. _dk 06:20, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Was the subject an actual person or a fictitious character in an historical fiction work? --Ozgod 06:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He was real and fairly important, thus our keep votes. _dk 06:34, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Important figure in Shu Han history as mentioned above. AQu01rius (User • Talk) 07:14, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• 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)[reply]
• Keep Fairly important Three Kingdoms-era figure. Shimeru 18:57, 27 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Niohe, the person who created this article Darin Fidika (talk · contribs) 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)[reply]

• OK, got it!--Niohe 16:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• 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)[reply]
