GA date, length, close paraphrase check ok. No QPQ needed (only 1 prior DYK). But the hook fact doesn't appear clearly in the article. It mentions (with direct reference) ending practice of suicide of concubines, but not burying alive. Also, the image could be added (File:Ming_Yingzong_(1).jpg). --Soman (talk) 11:25, 28 April 2025 (UTC)

  - Hi Min968. I don't see any such edit in the article, but an edit to the nomination hook. Is Goodrich & Fang (1976), p. 293 the ref for the new hook fact? --Soman (talk) 21:19, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
