[edit] Why not a disambiguation page?
Why is this page protected to be a redirecting page to Politics of the People's Republic of China? I think it should be changed to a disambiguation page to distinguish Politics of the Republic of China. --Neo-Jay 10:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Because dab pages exist where there is ambiguity. Nobody refers to the RoC as simple "China". SchmuckyTheCat
- Politics of the Republic of China also covers the history of China from 1911 to 1949. The Republic of China in this period is of course referred to as simple "China". Politics of the People's Republic of China only talks about the politics of China after 1949. I hope that a comprehensive article Politics of China will be created to cover the whole political history of China. But for now, a disambiguation page is necessary.--Neo-Jay 06:52, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
- Politics of X articles tend to be fairly current (to within a few decades) because old politics are history. Users who are looking for "politics of China" are not looking for the RoC. SchmuckyTheCat
- How can you say that Users who are looking for "politics of China" are not looking for the RoC? I am such a user. If your argument is valid, why not rename Politics of the People's Republic of China to Politics of China? --Neo-Jay 09:37, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Let's create a disambig page OR a comprehensive page - this redirect should not point to PRC alone. WhisperToMe (talk) 04:41, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
