The emperors of the Ming dynasty ruled over China proper from 1368 to 1644 during the late imperial era of China (960–1912). Members of the Ming dynasty continued to rule a series of rump states in southern China, commonly known as the Southern Ming, until 1662; the Ming dynasty succeeded the Mongol-led Yuan dynasty and preceded the Manchu-led Qing dynasty. The Ming dynasty was founded by the peasant rebel leader Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the Hongwu Emperor. All Ming emperors were of the House of Zhu. The longest-reigning emperor of the dynasty was the Wanli Emperor (r. 1572–1620), who ruled for 48 years; the shortest was his successor, the Taichang Emperor, who ruled for only 29 days in 1620.

Of the 16 Ming emperors, 10 have GA-status articles, 4 are awaiting review, 2 are scheduled for rewriting, and the list article has achieved FL. --Min968 (talk) 04:46, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose - It would be best to wait for those remaining 6 articles to recieve GA status before a good topic is proposed. Per 1d of the requirments, every article in the set (in this case, every Emperor notable enough to warrent an article) should have been awarded either GA or FA. GGOTCC 06:38, 1 June 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose, I think the others should be GAs. History6042😊 (Contact me) 01:23, 3 June 2025 (UTC)
