Deletion of Chinese Empire reform movement

Comment: The time period from the Opium War to the fall of the Qing Dynasty is a much-discussed topic in academic studies. The failure of the attempted reforms to stop the fall is also much discussed often as the "Qing Restoration" or Tongzhi Restoration. See http://www.oxfordbibliographies.com/view/document/obo-9780199920082/obo-9780199920082-0029.xml The Fall of the Qing, 1840-1912 for an Oxford bibliography. This time period is also covered at a general level in Qing_dynasty#Self-strengthening_and_the_frustration_of_reforms and the following section. The nominated article at an initial glance appears to be well-referenced (though it does need editing for grammar and NPOV) and might be merged to Tongzhi Restoration or it might serve as a  for the reform section of the Qing Dynasty article.
