Merge[edit]

Merge (?) -> Xin Dynasty with Wang Mang --LLTimes (talk) 19:13, 30 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a good idea - he was the only "emperor" of this "dynasty" and thus the two topics are inextricably linked. Philg88 (talk) 02:19, 7 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is it better to merge into this article, or merge this article to Wang Mang? Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 13:01, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would say it's better to merge this article into Wang Mang, although I do believe there is justification to separate the man himself from the page on his "dynasty".--Pericles of Athens^Talk 14:07, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Is there enough information on his personal life that can be separated from the Xin period? It seems like even when talking about the events in his life prior to his usurp of power, as far as the available information is concerned, it is relevant to Xin. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 14:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the fact that there was a long process of power-grabbing on his part before establishing a new dynasty would legitimate his own article. Plus, Philg88 brings up a good point (below) about Wang Mang being mentioned more often in books than the actual name of his dynasty. I still think a merger is unnecessary, but if a merge does go through, I think it would make more sense to merge this material into Wang Mang.--Pericles of Athens^Talk 22:05, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that this article should be merged with Wang Mang - the Xin Dynasty tends to get fewer mentions in books etc.Philg88 (talk) 21:37, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We can always compare this to Wu Zetian article. But anyway...if the majority concur to a merger and into Wang Mang, Who want to do the honor and merge the both? :) --LLTimes (talk) 22:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Once we have a consensus I'm happy to volunteer to do the merge if it is required. Philg88 (talk) 22:56, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I am neutral to the merge. But I do think that any expansion that can be added to this article in Xin Dynasty would be essentially a copy of what is already on the Wang Mang article. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 14:51, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the merger. I personally think that the Wang Mang article should contain only details about his life and details about his institutions etc should be included in this article. A person and the very short dynasty he started are two separate things. Kayau Voting IS evil 07:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It should be exactly like this, the dynasty has to have an own page — Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.82.72.31 (talk) 06:25, 20 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Translation Required Template addition[edit]

This article really should be now merged with Wang Mang. I also think that the text any translation is based on should be Chinese rather than French as this is the language of the source material. Philg88 (talk) 07:25, 9 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move request to decapitalize all Chinese dynasty articles[edit]

There's a move request to decapitalize "dynasty" in the Chinese dynasty articles, as in Han Dynasty → Han dynasty. For more information and to give your input, see [1]. --Cold Season (talk) 18:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
