No sources, Acts as if an apocryphal story is fact

Speedy Keep - nomination fails
WP:BEFORE. The article is poorly written, but the uprising, China's first peasant rebellion which eventually overthrew the Qin empire. is a seminal event in Chinese history. It is by no means apocryphal, and well recorded in the contemporary history Shiji. The nominator has not done even a cursory search on Google books, as there are thousands of academic English sources describing this event: see
search results. -

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to
Chen Sheng per
WP:REDUNDANTFORK. As far as I can see there's nothing on this page that isn't already covered by
Chen Sheng, and I doubt additional material can be found that doesn't directly pertain to
Chen Sheng or
Wu Guang (e.g. social/economic effect of the uprising, but that information wasn't recorded in history for this period). This isn't the case of
Taiping Heavenly Kingdom where rebels established a somewhat functional and durable government with a variety of historical sources that we can use.

Keep per Zanhe. I would rather merge
Chen Sheng and
Wu Guang into this article than merging the article on the rebellion to the article of one of the leaders. But there's no reason why all three can't have articles. ----

Keep as the improved sourcing demonstrates notability. Whether the articles about the leaders
Chen Sheng and
Wu Guang could be merged here can proceed outside of AfD in the normal couse of editing.
