Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the move request was: no determination. There isn't sufficient basis to make any determination. However, because all of the proposed titles are red links, anyone can perform these moves. So, I won't stand in anyone's way, but won't give the impression that there was a consensus to make the moves requested here. -- tariqabjotu 03:02, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

– Despite no guideline on Wikipedia that I could find, currently the convention is to title the Chinese empress pages by the format "'Empress' + surname", which is a format I support. However, most Chinese empresses' given names aren't recorded in ancient history books, thereby creating a problem of disambiguation.
I don't know who came up with the current disambiguation convention, it's abhorrent. For example in this page
I just moved a few dozen pages from the format "Empress X (XXX)" to "Empress X (XX Dynasty)" as appropriate. To me this seems more logical. However, the above I cannot do so, because of identical "Empress X"'s in a given dynasty, so I'm presenting the above here for a discussion. I'm proposing the complete Wikipedia entry of the husband in the parentheses, but would like to hear other proposals.
PS: Some
- Comment: I agree the current naming is quite haphazard and some kind of rule needs to be established. As this involves numerous articles and may be a recurring problem as more articles get created, I think a new clause regarding the naming of empresses should be proposed on ]
- Thanks for your comment. I personally am not a fan of posthumous names, and I believe these 2-character posthumous names may recur during the course of centuries, but I'm stating that without any proofs or research. Also should it be 'Mingyuan Empress' or 'Empress Mingyuan'? We also need guidelines for princesses (emperor's daughters), most of which cannot use surnames. Also there needs to be some distinction between princesses as in emperor's daughters, and princesses consorts. Could you help me propose a discussion of ancient women elsewhere? If somehow we discover that posthumous name is the best approach, I'll be 100% behind it. Timmyshin (talk) 10:18, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
