Han Dynasty
Self-nom: I believe this group of articles meet the Featured Topic criteria. Two out of six are Featured Articles (i.e. Han Dynasty and Economy of the Han Dynasty), so that meets the 33% rule. The articles Government, History, Science and technology, and Society and culture are all currently Good Articles. Government of the Han Dynasty is a current featured article candidate, but the outcome of its candidacy for FA status will not affect these articles' candidacy for FT status (according to Wikipedia:Featured topic criteria). Besides, it's already got four supports! Lol. I hope you guys approve; this will be my second Chinese dynasty featured topic after Song Dynasty. Like the Song Dynasty FT, this one also has a cool template at the bottom!-- Pericles of Athens Talk 00:48, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

- Hmm. I see your concern, but I would like to be consistent with the other featured topic on a Chinese dynasty here. If the Han emperor list article was absolutely essential for this topic, then the
Song Dynasty featured topic should have never passed, since there is, after all, a
List of Song Emperors. Is there a specific reason why you think it is an
obvious gap for this topic?--

- Getting
List of Emperors of the Han Dynasty up to FL status may take a while as well. If you absolutely insist on the idea (which I hope you don't), I could begin research with this book at my local university library: Chronicle of the Chinese emperors: the reign-by-reign record of the rulers of Imperial China (1998), by Ann Paludan. I hope her book (or some other source I can find online) includes information and the exact Chinese characters for all the personal names, posthumous names, and era names in that article. Otherwise, it will never be featured.--

Oppose- like Nergaal, I think List of Emperors of the Han Dynasty needs including. I also thing that the current Song Dynasty topic is lacking in exactly the same way, and have been considering raising my concerns for a while - I'm sorry I didn't do so before you nominated this topic. When the Song Dynasty topic was promoted, it was on the understanding that List of Song Emperors would be added to the topic as soon as possible. Well a year and a half later and that clearly didn't happen. I think it should happen and hence I oppose here, sorry - rst20xx ( talk) 10:25, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- Well, I could use Paludan's source to cite both the list articles for Han and Song, but that's not going to cut it. A featured list needs more than one source, as you know. And there really isn't anything else available to me (do you know of any useful sources? I sure don't). Plus, I have to state the question one more time: why is a List of Emperors an
obvious gap? I've yet to hear a convincing argument for this.--

- There are FLs with only one source for the whole list. And along with the sources used to write a lead, it should have n problem passing on that basis. I agree that the Lists of emperors should be included as FLs, or they should have been merged into the
List of Chinese monarchs, which seems to redundantly cover the sub-tables completely.

List of Chinese monarchs is too big and more realistically needs splitting down into the (often already existent) articles on the rulers of each dynasty. (Ironically both
List of Chinese monarchs and
List of Emperors of the Han Dynasty transclude {{

I assumed that would be unacceptable, since I figured someone would complain if I used only one source for my article List of Chinese inventions, which is featured. Fair enough. Sometime this weekend I will go to the library and pick up Paludan's book.
