Currently sourced with a single, unreliable source. Can't find enough in-depth coverage to show they pass notability. Would have draftified, but this editor has an issue with draftification, so here we are. Without better sourcing, which I can't find, does not appear to meet GNG.

- Draftify: Per nom. Perhaps an actual discussion resulting in draftification might change their mind, seems like the most logical choice for an article with nowhere near enough sourcing. — {{u|Bsoyka}} talk 18:09, 11 March 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Chinese version has only one source as well. No help from there. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 19:49, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

*Strong Keep Amazing unresearched voters and nominator ! Minister of the royal court automatically passes WP:NPOL. How much do you need? VocalIndia (talk) 19:26, 22 March 2022 (UTC) Indefinite block for personal attacks. scope_creepTalk 15:14, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - none of the refs provided by Cunard are in-depth about this subject. Onel5969 TT me 22:03, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
- onel5969 So how you know? you can read Chinese? pls someone report onel5969 for WP:IDONTLIKE case on historical figures. Court minister is auto notable on Wikipedia and higher than member of parliament. Minister is not a joke. He living 400 years ago that is quite a lot of detail including a multi-page biography that someone wrote about him. More than sufficient for a historical figure. The article is already improved by Cunard. VocalIndia (talk) 04:08, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - no I don't speak or read Chinese. However, one of my business partners was born and grew up in Shanghai and is quite fluent. I had him take a look at the sources, which is why it took me so long to respond to Cunard's post. Nothing but brief mentions. And the personal attacks are wearing thin.

- Depth is contextual. Classical Chinese is a notoriously terse form of verbal expression and that has to factor in. Atchom (talk) 05:43, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

- Comment When I come back this afternoon, I will translate them. I have a intern in my office who can speak and read this. Classical Chinese sources may be notoriously terse, but that isn't a substitute for depth or significant coverage. scope_creepTalk 09:10, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- The dude is not into today. He has been shirking, so tommorrow lunch time, if we can keep it open until then please. scope_creepTalk 15:14, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
- Weak Keep I would give significant leeway to historical figures as online sourcing might not be the best especially as we are mainly sourcing through a website that is banned in China. I can see that the online sourcing is already enough to write a Start-level article about him which is enough in my opinion. Jumpytoo Talk 17:41, 24 March 2022 (UTC)
