Draft talk:Duke Jìng of Qin

Things You Might Do To Help Get It Published
@Historydiver

Done a little clean-up.

So the article is very short. Two sentences (the not to be confused with can be done via “not to be confused with” template which I have done for you). Due to his royal position, that may get through when others of such length might not. Notability does play a part if a historical figure should have an article and said article should provide enough sense of why figure should have an article at all.

Consider what you can do to expand such articles while in your sandbox before, having finished the draft with as much relevant information as you can, submitting. Examples of relevant information: when did he become Crown Prince, did he die before his father, who was his wife, did his son become Crown Prince? Is there a reason so little is known?

The source problem is the one that keeps coming up. Current you have death date that is unsourced, no source for the second sentence. The one sentence you have given a primary source to is vague, the Records of the Grand Historian. Which has 130 chapters, making it hard for people to track down the figure: the chapter would be helpful. Chinese text of that passage would be great if you can do that (but isn't a requirement, if you can't then the chapter will be enough). Is he mentioned in other sources like the Zizhi Tongjian or any secondary work by a respected historian who can also be cited? DongZhuo3kingdoms (talk) 11:07, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
