[edit] Li-Xing-dao

Is this real? "What links here" brings up a reference to a 13th century playwright by this name, but addicted to opium? Prostitute? Is someone pulling our leg here? Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:15, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, couldn't find anything on google, possible leg-pulling. Kappa 14:10, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Expand and reference or delete. Li Xingdao seems to be a more usual spelling and he was a playwright of the time (see Brecht's The Chalk Circle). His private life isn't Googleable but may not have been impeccable for all I know. Any Chinese literature people on Afd? Dlyons493 Talk 22:07, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
• Expand I would be interested in reading more about Li Xingdao having read the reference to his work from the Caucasian Chalk Circle article 83.104.41.104 22:12, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep now I've rewritten it, I couldn't expand it very much but it's reasonably accurate now. Kappa 22:39, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Thanks for rewriting it, the last version was completely discardable but this one looks OK. Nomination withdrawn. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:15, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
