Still doesn't make sense

[edit]

This article was de-prodded, but I still contend that it should be deleted [1]:

Urabe no Suetake was a retainer of the legendary hero Minamoto no Yorimitsu (who can also be referred to as Raikō), supposedly during the Heian period in 12th century Japan. Suetake assisted Raikō throughout his life, being referred to as one of The Four Guardian Kings under Raikō. Suetake originated from the House of Seiryū (Blue Dragon). The Japanese tale in which Suetake appears in is known as Ooeyama. In addition to Suetake, the other guardians under Raikō were Usui Sadamitsu, Kintoki, and Watanabe no Tsuna.

What is a retainer? What is House of Seiryū? Who is Minamoto no Yorimitsu? Is there any detail about this person's life that could be mentioned that could be added to the article? Is Blue Dragon related to the fictional work? Is this historical or from a fictional world? If from a fictional world, which work? What's Ooeyama? Why is this person notable? I don't what this person did in his or her life, and I don't understand her/his job title ("retainer"). I'm not debating whether Wikipedia should cover this topic, I think if it should be covered, it should be done by nuking and starting from scratch. No references whatsoever. --Bxj (talk) 13:02, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
