Kangxi Emperor edit

Nominator(s): TomMasterReal

This article is about the Kangxi Emperor. The Kangxi Emperor was the longest ruling leader of China in history at 61 years, if you don't count the Qianlong Emperor's de facto rule over China at 63 years. According to List_of_longest-reigning_monarchs, the Kangxi Emperor is the 12th longest ruling monarch in history with verifiable reigns. Under his rule, the Qing Dynasty gained area from Russia, Mongolia, and Tibet.

Oppose and recommend withdrawal -- great swathes of text are uncited, and that alone indicates the article is very much under-prepared for FAC (or even WP:GAN, which might be the first place to try after adding citations to reliable sources).

As Ian suggests, this does not seem to yet be ready for GAN, much less FAC. I would suggest getting the article fully referenced, then considering a run at GAN, before considering renominating for FAC. Meanwhile I am archiving this per Ian's comments.
