Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Chinese imperialism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The content of the article Chinese imperialism overlaps with that of China, possibly Chinese nationalism, mandate of heaven, and others... no need for this extra article. There is no clear goal of what it should cover that is different from any of the other Chinese articles.--Amerinese 17:39, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep I agree with the argument that Chinese nationalism is different than imperialism. Since China is in fact an empire under the guise of a nation-state, I think that this article is appropriate. 4-25-05

What kind of argument is 'no need'? This article is on a specific topic of imperialism. It may not be a topic of interest for someone reading the overall China article. And yes, there is a clear goal, very clear, of 'Chinese imperialism'. Keep

• Keep or merge For gods sake the writer seems to have put a huge amount of work into this, give them some respect. Brianreddy

• How about merging Yuje's work into an existing article like Chinese nationalism? -- ran (talk) 02:14, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep No merge necessary. Nationalism is a different topic than Imperialism. Furthermore, Wikipedia shouldn't have double standards. These lists of Imperialism exist for other nations, especially the US and Europe. See the Imperialism page for more details. By the way, it doesn't cost Wikipedia any money to have another page on a specific topic. Asian history and politics in general is neglected, this would help it. Ran did a good job IMHO.

• Keep Adding everything that is vaguely related to the history of China (a huge topic) together on a single page is clearly a bad idea, better keep this article and link it from History of China.

• I found it useful and it should be kept.
• Keep No reason to delete. Nothing wrong with the article.

• Merge with China and History of China. The existence of this separate article clearly has a POV goal of asserting that China is now and has long been an imperialist nation. Blackcats 11:01, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Blackcats, by your logic, other pages would have to be deleted that have clearly "POV goals". If this page is deleted, than the duplicate articles on "US imperialism" should be as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_United_States_imperialism or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._foreign_interventions_since_1945 Any suggestion that China is imperialist is immediatey brought up for deletion, while different standards of proof are held for other nations. Why is that? So what exactly is the standard for deletion at Wikipedia? (And don't point me to the FAQ about it, I have read it. I mean the standards the Admins are using.)

• Strong Keep Chinese Imperialism dates back to several millenia. It is one of the most complete eras of history. --TheAznSensation 04:44, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This seems to be a factual, well-researched article, and I cannot see any justification for either the nomination for deletion or the 'needs attention' tag. -- Lhedbor 20:25, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
