About creating article

The article for "Chinese mythology" as of this date is basically a list article, developed by various contributors. I was thinking of moving it, therefor, but it really should exist, just expanded out of the list stage, perhaps more-or-less in its present organization. Still, lists are also useful.

About this article and inline reference citations.

A thoroughly inline citation referenced article would be ideal. However, many list articles do not have even one reference, for example, "List of women writers", as of present time and date. Other List articles have citation references throughout, such as "List of Chinese records in swimming". This "List of Chinese mythology" is helpful to Wikipedia because it allows the "Chinese mythology" article to be worked on without necessarily deleting its previous content, and it is suitable for a quick look through as an encyclopedic tool. This List article preserves content, while allowing the main article to take shape as a regular article, instead of being stuck in a list format. The inclusion of article curation tags to the very beginning of the article somewhat to the above affect is not helpful. Why make an end user of the article distracted by an unnecessary warning?
