  • Strong Keep and Rename to China - Pakistan trade or something like that.

Absolutely DO NOT Redirect to Economy of the People's Republic of China. It is hard to believe that an article of that broad a scope would have room for something so specific as this.

Yes, this is an OR essay but most of it seems to be very likely sourceable to a reliable source. I will slap an {{unsourced}} tag on it. Let's encourage the article creator to source the assertions. The topic is encyclopedic and the content of the article seems to be relatively objective and valuable. --Richard 05:19, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Comment "Relatively objective"? The article has an NPOV tag on it. ColourBurst 19:34, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Response Yes, "relatively objective". I dare say that this article could be written about the impact of Chinese goods on many nations including the United States. The fact that it focuses on the impact of Chinese goods on Pakistan is perhaps unfortunate since this suggests that we would have an article on the impact of Chinese goods on India and every other nation other than China. The tone of the article is unencylopedic but the substance is quite encyclopedic. I think it deserves a cleanup tag but not the NPOV tag although more POVs could be added to make it a more comprehensive article. What I mean by this is that there are the POVs of manufacturers big & small, retailers big & small, the national and local governments and the consumer. This article doesn't really cover the range but then again few articles do. In any event, this article certainly should NOT be deleted. --Richard 07:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
