Possibly a hoax article. The non-English text given on this article is fake; the Chinese characters given correspond to Prince Imseong, whose Japanese name reading is Rinshō Taishi and Korean name reading is Imsŏng t‘aeja. The references given are incredibly vague; it's just the overall names of some really extensive works of history. Searching online I can't find any reference to this person existing. seefooddiet (talk) 03:10, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This seems like a hoax article. This page confirms the pronunciation of 琳聖太子 kanji (what nominator calls Chinese characters) is りんしょうたいし (rinshotaishi). Yamaguchi City has this memorial.
If someone wanted to improve this article I suppose we could make this a keep but I don't have the skills to do it. zh.wikipedia has an extensive article [1] but it lacks inline sources. Oblivy (talk) 10:36, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Called Chinese characters because the characters can also be seen as Hanja. seefooddiet (talk) 23:21, 16 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
