Talk:Han-Zhao

Unsigned comment
It should be made clear that this Han is the same as the Bei Han mentioned on the Hun page. I read once that the Liu family name was documented by the chinese to mean Dragon in the Xiongnu language. Unfortunately I cannot find the source now. User:81.129.203.6, 10:22, 10 July 2005

Han Zhao → Former Zhao – "Han Zhao" is potentially ambiguous, as it could also be a person's name, either surnamed "Zhao (surname)" or "Han (surname)". A Google Book Search also shows that "Former Zhao" is more common in books than "Han Zhao" to refer to the Sixteen Kingdoms state:
 * 90 results for "Former Zhao" + "Sixteen Kingdoms"
 * 76 reults for "Han Zhao" + "Sixteen Kingdoms" - If you get rid of the results copied/plagiarized/summarized from Wikipedia, there are only 41 results
 * 43 results for "Former Zhao" + "Sixteen States"
 * 8 results for "Han Zhao" + "Sixteen States" Timmyshin (talk) 16:54, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, per WP:COMMONNAME, and for being unambiguous and WP:PRECISE. Support also per WP:CONSISTENCY with the associated title Later Zhao, as well as for CONSISTENCY with the titles of six of the other Sixteen Kingdoms: Former Qin, Later Qin, Former Yan, Later Yan, Former Liang, and Later Liang (Sixteen Kingdoms).

 * Support - as per Khestwol's comments, this is common and in line with the other Wiki page names. Ogress smash! 21:03, 6 June 2015 (UTC)
