Redundant to Category:Lists of Chinese people. This page should be redirected to the category. We don't have a Lists of Chinese people, so why should we have Lists of ancient Chinese? Plus, "ancient China" is a very vague time period anyways, so if we are to have something like this, it should be at Lists of Chinese people. And, most of the lists listed on this aren't even exclusively ancient (List of Chinese monarchs, List of Confucianists, and List of Taoists).

• Delete. Article was created in 2005, when standards were different. It doesn't belong here anymore. -- asilvering (talk) 04:19, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to Category:Lists of Chinese people. Unneeded, vague list that just duplicates this category. MaterialWorks _(talk) 11:49, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Lists of Chinese people might be acceptable, but not this poorly-defined index — do we mean Imperial China, or before Shihuangdi? — where some lists overlap with modern China. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 17:56, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
