Hello CWH! I was patrolling a page that you had created, and was wondering about it's target. In particular, the "Napoleon's "China is a sleeping giant" quote. At a first glance, this page title seems quite drawn-out, and the redirect you created of China is a sleeping dragon, while not the primary version of the quote, already feels like a much more approachable title.

First and foremost, the subject of the article appears to be the quote. Because of this, it seems to me that the title of the page shouldn't start with "Napoleon", but rather the title should simply BE the quote itself. Of course, I would still like to keep the existing title as a redirect for navigation purposes, but I'm not as familiar with this particular subject matter. From my eyes, the subject is not Napoleon, but his alleged quote, and therefore his name should be in the lede instead of the title. Please advise, and thank you.

Hi, Utopes, and thanks for looking into this with care. You are right that the "target" or subject of the article is the quote, but the quote only becomes notable when it is (falsely) attributed to Napoleon. The Napoleon website in Paris has a posting on the quote, one of the indications that it is a topic of its own. Otherwise the title doesn't describe the article.

WP:CRITERIA says a title should be "no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish from other subjects", and "balance brevity with sufficient information to identify the topic to a person familiar with the general subject area".

The articles in the "See also" section are similar, so maybe we need a category, but that's a question for another day.

So I'm glad for the prod to think this through, but though the title is awkard, I still think it's the right one.ch (talk)

Category:Children of American missionaries in China has been nominated for merging. A discussion is taking place to decide whether this proposal complies with the categorization guidelines. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the categories for discussion page. Thank you.
