726:. Consider: the corresponding Chinese, Cantonese and Classical Chinese pages of this article are all titled "後漢" or "Later Han" without any parentheses. Looking at some other language versions, the French, Croatian, Norwegian, Finnish, Vietnamese, Ukrainian, Thai versions all managed to call this period "Later Han Dynasty" without parentheses, why can't English Wiki do the same? (It's quite conceivable that some of the other language versions that do use parentheses in their titles followed English Knowledge.) Another thing to consider is that prefixes like "Later", "Eastern", "Western", "Northern" and "Southern" are already specific disambiguation phrases added by later historians to separate the Han's apart. Why is a second level of disambiguation necessary? The 92: 82: 64: 33: 166: 148: 776:, as in the previous request. In English, "Later Han" most commonly refers to the Eastern Han, to the extent that it is the primary topic for the name. Most people searching for that term will be interested in the earlier period, and should not be routed through this short-lived and much less significant dynasty. 601:
is also commonly known as Later Han Dynasty, but we actually do not have a separate article for Eastern Han independent of the Han Dynasty article, nor is there likely to be one any time soon given the intertwined nature of the discussion in that article. As such, the disambiguation with Eastern Han

This is not really the way most readers get to articles. Those that do get to the wrong article in this way can use the hatnote. So the Eastern Han article would still be one click away. So it would be no harder to get to than it is currently through the DAB. This is all covered in
450:: This is certainly not the primary topic for "Later Han"; if there is one, it's the Eastern Han. It's not sufficient that that article already has an unambiguous title; the issue is that someone saying "Later Han dynasty" is much more likely to be talking about the Eastern Han. 416:: Later Han is a common term to refer to the Eastern Han in western literature, and people are more likely to be looking for the more prominent Han dynasty than a short-lived interregnum state. I also oppose the subtle change from "dynasty" to "Dynasty" with a capital D. 324:
It doesn't matter that it doesn't have a separate article. We can redirect "Later Han" to "Eastern Han" and add a hatnote there. There's no reason to rename the Five Dynasties page when the Eastern Han is more likely. --
270:– There is absolutely no confusion, and no need for a disambiguation page. Eastern Han immediately follows Western Han is never called Later Han at any period. Later Han is in the Five Dynasties by default. 602:— which is the only disambiguation necessary — can be easily handled with a disambiguation link on the top of the article. The current disambiguation only makes not only this article bulky, but makes all 837: 709:, since that isn't the prominent usage of "Later Han Dynasty" and it's unlikely that there's more people that wouldn't search for Eastern Han with that. A disambiguation page is best. -- 478:
All that means is that "Later Han" should redirect to "Eastern Han", and that a hatnote should appear on that article. It does not mean that the Five Dynasties version gets the name. --

I'd much rather it point to the disambiguation page than the Five Dynasties one, because most editors will want the link to go to Han Dynasty instead of this. Heck, I'd even prefer

The same logic applies to "Later Han". 302:
I stand corrected. Still, #1 "Eastern Han" doesn't even have a page of its own and #2 calling it "Later Han" is archaic if I'm not wrong. I believe a "
