Appears to be fictional -- the Japanese Wikipedia article indicates that references could be found in the Records of the Three Kingdoms biographies for Sun Ce and Liu Yao (warlord), but I can't find any references to him in either of those two biographies. Not a particularly significant character in the fictional Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Delete. --Nlu (talk) 17:33, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He is historical, references to him can be found in Rafe de Crespigny's Biographical Dictionary (p. 998) and Generals of the South (pp. 158, 161) and under Sun Ce's biography in the Records of the Three Kingdoms - you probably couldn't find him because Wikisource's faulty simplified-to-traditional Chinese converter turned his name into 於麋.... _dk (talk) 02:08, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Tried that. Still not there. --Nlu (talk) 04:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
That's strange, I've found him here. Two mentions in the paragraph that starts with 壽春，術已據之，繇乃渡江治曲阿。_dk (talk) 04:54, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Here: (繇遣樊能、於麋東屯橫江津，張英屯當利口，以距術。) and in the Jiangbiao Zhuan annotation (江表傳曰： ... 因渡江攻禮，禮突走，而樊能、於麋等複合眾襲奪牛渚屯。) LDS _{contact me} 06:31, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment With that being the case, part of my rationale for deletion is obviously gone. The notability issue remains, but obviously argument for deletion is much weaker. I'd like to see additional comments. --Nlu (talk) 14:12, 25 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm neutral, for now. In the near future, I'll start a mass AFD for several non-notable historical persons on this list, especially those who are mentioned very briefly in historical records. However, I need to settle the fictional characters list first. (see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cheng Yuanzhi) If Yu Mi still exists by then, I'll consider including him in the mass AFD.
