Need to create article

[edit]

Shouldn't we also create an article on the English-language Wikipedia about this other historical figure? Source: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%9D%9C%E5%AE%87 98.123.38.211 (talk) 23:32, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If someone wants to write an article about the mythical king of ancient Shu who ruled for two hundred years and turned into a cuckoo bird after he died, that would be super (or at least acceptable), and probably require the creation of Du Yu (disambiguation) to help readers navigate between the four articles. This Du Yu – who annotated the Zuozhuan and examined the manuscripts recovered in the Jizhong discovery – would still remain the primary topic for the transliterated name shared by the four subjects.
Du Yu (ancient Shu) would pass WP:GNG. You could work on it yourself if you're interested enough! Other places to request an article's creation might be Wikipedia:Requested articles (largely defunct), Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mythology, or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject China. Since everyone here is a volunteer, there's no guaranteed way to get someone else to write an article on a topic of your own choosing, but if you ask around enough places you might be able to interest someone enough to put in the work.
