"The Chinese Tang Tomb Figures are thirteen ceramic figures found in the tomb of Liu Tingxun..." The actual subject of the article that the title offers is Chinese Tang tomb figures. These thirteen from one tomb, now in the BM, are simply examples of Tang Dynasty tomb figures. As it stands, this article's correct title is something along the line of Tang Dynasty tomb figures of Liu Tingxun.--Wetman (talk) 04:00, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hi @Wetman, there is a debate on my talk page about this with people arguing both ways. I'm quite happy for you to make this change as I can see your point (although there are counter arguments). I'd prefer if this didnt disturb the stats but do feel free to act if you think its urgent. At the moment I don't think the hook is misrepresenting what people will expect to find as it mentions the 13 figures. Victuallers (talk) 10:13, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

I agree that is probably the best title; it's fortunate there is a probable "owner's" name here - usually there isn't. It can be moved now it's off the main page, maybe in a day or two. Johnbod (talk) 11:49, 20 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
