  • Neutral - I added all of the material I could find about this general. He actually played a role of sorts in history, because his death at the hands of the Shun Dynasty led to his son favoring the Qing Dynasty and overthrowing the Shun. History could be entirely different without him, but I can't decide if we should declare him notable for dying.

  • Comment I'm going to merge the information into Wu Sangui. It is almost completely a copy and paste job. Cancel that I can't figure what time these events occurred in Wu Sangui's life and without the original sources I would be making some assumptions aka WP:OR --Sin Harvest (talk) 05:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect to his son, Wu Sangui. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep thee is already enough sourcing for this historical figure, and there is undoubted more in Chinese sources.DGG (talk) 08:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Sources are cited, and from the little that's in the article we can see that he had a significant influence on Chinese history. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:44, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
