Non-notable short story. Refs consist mostly of citations to a primary source (Sondergrad). Significant discussion in secondary sources appears to be lacking. KDS4444 (talk) 11:42, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep At least 5 useful English-language results in Google Books. More in Chinese. Timmyshin (talk) 00:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (SondergARd, by the way) One of the more notable (and longer) Liaozhai entries. Easily passes GNG at the very least, and I can tell you that the Chinese-lang coverage on this is way more extensive, so perhaps one should not let his EL bias (if any) get in the way. A rule of thumb is that most, if not all, of the Liaozhai stories warrant entries in the project. My goal is to actualise that. It will take some time!

Even as far as EL sources are concerned, there is ample coverage. (See references section and other relevant ones.) I have found at least two studies examining the story as well as the two plays it was adapted into -- more on that in a later time. Kingoflettuce (talk) 05:54, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
