:Personal names are a bit of a gray zone here with the policy for foreign names is still under works. Pinyin and Yale were simply used as the default method of romanization. It's like Hepburn for Japanese and Revised Romanization for Korean, even with the tendencies of the names to use older romanization methods such as Nihon-Shiki for the former and McCune–Reischauer for the latter. If there are existing spellings preferred by the voice actors, those should be used instead, but the Western names does make things a little more complicated. --[[User:神奇超龍|<font color="#2B547E">'''超龍'''</font>]]<sub><small>「'''[[User talk:神奇超龍|Chao]]'''」</small></sub> 05:52, 24 August 2020 (UTC) | :Personal names are a bit of a gray zone here with the policy for foreign names is still under works.

== Title of article == | |||
Unfortunately, the term "Greater China" has become politically sensitive (or even politically offensive) over the last few years or so, in contrast to when this article was created. It is literally identical to "all territory that the Chinese government wants to annex and call 'China'". In this regard, it's similar to the political term "Greater Russia" which refers to Russia plus the four or five other places whose territory it has seized, doesn't recognize, and would like to unite. The page cannot stay with this name. | |||
On splitting: | |||
* The easiest way to answer this question while sidestepping politics is to look at what TPC considers to be a single market. For example, the various countries of Latin America are considered to be a single market (they are usually marketed to identically and share a page on e.g. SwSh's official website), while mainland China is definitely not a single market next to Hong Kong and Taiwan. | |||
* Another way to think about it is if the pages were already split, how much advocacy would there be to merge them? If we split Latin America into subpages, many of them would look extremely similar and become merge candidates. If we split this page, the resulting pages are very different. | |||
