WP:V Is this history, or fiction? It's clearly from the famous Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but that's a historical novel, not a history. See chapter 47. Thanks. --John Nagle 02:04, 6 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Romance of the Three Kingdoms is based on an actual period of Chinese history. As far as I know, the individuals in the book are all historical. — BrianSmithson 17:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Being based on Chinese history is not the same as being history. The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is a novel that is largely fictional in nature, and its contents should not be taken as historical. See also Sanguo Zhi. --Nlu (talk) 18:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I didn't say they should. I said the characters in the novel were based on real people, which is true as far as I know. — BrianSmithson 01:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
