Song Dynasty[edit]

Song Dynasty

8 articles

I am nominating this topic for removal because it is missing the article List of Song Emperors, which I feel it should include. When this topic was originally promoted, it was on the understanding that "List of Song Emperors should be added as soon as that list gets FL status". However, that never happened. When the sister Han Dynasty topic was up for promotion, the lack of List of Emperors of the Han Dynasty came up as an issue, with agreement the list needed adding, and that nomination was put on hold until the Emperors list was FLed, and then the topic including the list was promoted. That was over three months ago now, and there has still been no work on List of Song Emperors, so as a result I feel the Song Dynasty topic has an obvious gap - rst20xx (talk) 15:06, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I am semi-retired now, as you may have noticed on my talk page, but let me see if User:Nlu is willing to work on List of Song Emperors. After all, he helped provide additional citations for List of Emperors of the Han Dynasty when I nominated that list for featured status.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 06:42, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is unfortunate, but I have to agree that without the emperors list there is a hole in the topic. I hope you manage to bring the list up to featured status and save the topic. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:08, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nlu says he might be able to work on this a few days from now and provide citations. I certainly hope that is the case. If he doesn't, I'll see what I can do.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 16:52, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I could help if you need any assistance. I know a bit about Chinese emperors.—Chris!_c/t 04:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At Pericles's request, I've added citations to Bo Yang's Timeline of Chinese HIstory (中國歷史年表) for the era names (which should also be sufficient to serve as citations for emperor reigns). --Nlu (talk) 16:33, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome! Thank you Nlu! You might have just saved this. I'll see what I can do about filling in the rest by adding the appropriate "meat" of an introduction and short body before the list. Cheers.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 05:56, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Announcement: List of Song Emperors is now officially a Featured List candidate. Have a look...--Pericles of Athens^Talk 16:42, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update: So far, the list of emperors has four supports in favor of it becoming featured. All it needs is a minimum of ten days since the nomination began and it will certainly pass, as there are no outstanding objections to the article's nomination.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 02:00, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Close with consensus to promote - List of emperors of the Song Dynasty is now an FL (good work to everyone involved!), and so this can remain a featured topic - rst20xx (talk) 16:08, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
