Comment He is mentioned in this Journal of Chinese Studies article as the "obscure early ninth-century figure Mou Rong". 188.216.192.206 (talk) 06:47, 2 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. It's an unsourced one-line substub. Although his poem(s) are included in the Tang poem anthology, I couldn't find any info about this person except a Baidu page that says he was fabricated by Ming dynasty people (not sure how reliable that is). In any case, this page is completely useless in its current state. The Han dynasty Mou Rong, on the other hand, it definitely notable. -Zanhe (talk) 07:18, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

If he were indeed included in the Three Hundred Tang Poems, that would make him ipso facto highly notable. As for unsourced, see my previous comment. 188.216.192.206 (talk) 13:57, 3 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

But are his poems in fact included in the Three Hundred Tang Poems? His name doesn't appear in the list of poets in that article. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 12:27, 6 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
