Stub article with practically no info or sources. Given that it says "there is no existing biography about this person" it's unlikely to ever see meaningful extension. Nothing links here either except for things like "List of people who died in 929". Hornpipe2 (talk) 20:03, 27 May 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Could be a footnote somewhere, not notable for our purposes if no other records exist. We can re-create if some archeological evidence surfaces to support his existence. Oaktree b (talk) 20:25, 27 May 2022 (UTC)
• Comment: I [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3ANlu&diff=1090520160&oldid=1082923305 notified] the article creator, {{user|Nlu}}, about this nomination for deletion as Nlu had not been notified. Cunard (talk) 23:14, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
• Keep. Please see the article shumishi - a shumishi, pretty much by definition, is notable even if little else is known about him. --Nlu (talk) 05:21, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
• Delete this because, even if everything is true, holding that office does not pass WP:POLITICIAN. Even the title's article is poorly cited and might need to be deleted. Each of the articles is so poorly sourced as to lack significant coverage, thus failing general notability. An office holder might have been important, but without good sources, we can't be an encyclopedia. In 2007, the creator's argument might have been acceptable, but in 2022, it's untenable.

• Keep. shumishi was pretty much a national title, which makes the subject pass WP:NPOL (first point). Sun8908 _Talk 18:43, 6 June 2022 (UTC)
• Strong Keep He was one of the highest court and military officials of the court of King Minggong. During the monarchy days, chiefs of staff (Shumishi) was a minister of the royal court. Moreover he had served several high-ranking positions such as Prefect of Ye, deputy military governor of Tianxiong, Privy envoy, the right guard general and chief of the army. Clearly passes WP:NPOL.

• Keep – seems to meet WP:NPOL as a national-level officeholder of the Later Tang. Thanks to User:Yinweiaiqing for expanding the article. —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 08:36, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
