- Weak Delete for lack of an obvious redirect candidate. JJL (talk) 22:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep, the Chinese Wikipedia article certainly had more to say about the person, and my copy of de Crespigny's Biographical Dictionary of Later Han to the Three Kingdoms confirms that the person was mentioned many more times than once. His execution by Sun Quan led to the rebellion of Dai Yuan and Gui Lan, and thus the assassination of Sun Yi. _dk (talk) 23:48, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Being remembered from the 2nd century AD seems to be notable in itself.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 01:17, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Lean toward Keep When it comes to historical figures I'd rather keep and add info as found. It's not like a modern celebrity where the info's all over the web or it doesn't exist.--Cube lurker (talk) 03:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep. Reliable sources found by _dk. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:41, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - seems to be a perfectly notable historical figure. matt91486 (talk) 23:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- Keep - certainly passes WP:BIO (as governor of subnational entity, the commandery). It's recentism to apply that differently for 2nd century figures. Rigadoun (talk) 06:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
