I see no reason why this should be a seperate page other than someone wanting to make a political point; surely the situation would be made clearer to a reader by including it within the Taiwan article. Cripipper 22:44, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
This is a term not an actual entity. It is a political term used by the PRC and should be described as a specific term used by the PRC. Everything else is overlapping with other articles and if you have issues with that, please see Taiwan, Taiwan Province, and Republic of China and edit there.
[edit] Merge with Taiwan
I agree that there is no reason for this article to exist. Wikipedia may as well have articles titled "California, Mexico" or "Texas, Mexico" since some Mexicans claim that these areas should be part of Mexico.
Or, in a similar NPOV vein, "Western Sahara, Morocco"
Similarly, there are plenty of disclaimers all over articles about Taiwan and the Republic of China etc, that indicate the PRC claims them. This article is simply redundant. Itis not necessary for this article to be merged, it should simply be deleted.
Quite frankly I can't see why it wasn't simply deleted when first put up. It also sets a very poor precedent for other Wiki articles about other places in dispute.
Last time I checked The mexican governemnt does not still claim the SW USA. The PRC government claims Taiwan not just a few chinese. Zazaban 00:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
- This article is on a specific (perhaps hypothetical) administrative entity. If anything, it should be merged with the Taiwan Province article has an article exclusively devoted to the administration and not cultural and geographical aspects.--Jiang 03:52, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
- Regarding the "Western Sahara" argument: Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira is one of three Moroccan provinces in Western Sahara. └ OzLawyer / talk ┐ 13:05, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
