Zhang Wuji[edit]

Vote for deletion. "...is a male human born in 1337" Born in Leet? (that would be the translation). There should be more data than that. I think it's up more for a nuisance page than anything else, and it could be the real year 1337, but I doubt it. --Mitsukai 18:12, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Surprise, surprise, it's real! Here's proof. Still, a character from a martial arts movie which doesn't even have its own article... I'm in no rush to keep this subsubsubstub. Could even be a Speedy under criteria #1. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:02, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
- Normally, I would have listed it under a speedy, but considering I was unsure if it was real or not, I chose to take the cautious path. In any case, unless we've got an article we can merge this into, I still say we should kill it. --Mitsukai 20:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, probably very notable. Kappa 22:20, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- How is this notable for one line for a character in a movie that doesn't even have an entry yet? Yes, if we even had a stub for the movie, we might have a place to merge this into. But as Starblind says, there's no point to having subsubsubstubs. --Mitsukai 23:54, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I think you misunderstood. It says "born in 1337" as in 1337 THE YEAR! Also it says Zhang Wuji is a character in a book by the novelist Jinyong, who is said to be one of China's most influential novelists. So I vote a strong keep. Stancel 00:02, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Then some work is going to be done on it. Right now it reads exactly as I saw it, and a layman will think exactly as I did - it's a stupid prank. It's clear that this person/character does exist, and if so, the article will have to be expanded upon. But until then, it looks like a nuisance page, and until someone at least spruces it up a tad, my opinion is that it should be nuked. --Mitsukai 00:08, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - OK I've spruced it up a tad. Kappa 01:01, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, in light of the changes, and the addition of the other referring page, I've changing my vote to Merge with The Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber. Neither article is large enough to stand on its own, and merging them will give us a better representation overall. --Mitsukai 01:08, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/redirect, as per Mitsukai. -R. fiend 02:51, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

merge per above (WP:FICT) R adiant _* 12:24, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, Articles like Xiaolongnü, Guo Jing, Huang Rong are all separated, there is no reason to merge this one.Yaohua2000 00:27, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
Merge with The Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Saber. Nateji77 05:05, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
