List of Republic of China administrative divisionsList of Taiwanese administrative divisions – Over the past year or so, this article has moved back and forth between these two names several times, with one user in particular aggressively acting to move it to the current title multiple times. Despite all of these moves, the issue has never been discussed (as far as I can tell). I think it's time we had that conversation. No vote. Eureka Lott 04:56, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • And I flat out oppose any move of either this page or Administrative divisions of the Republic of China to contain the word "Taiwan". This pair of articles is similar to (Government of/President/Premier/Executive Yuan, etc.) of the Republic of China, and is solely about the ROC government. In that light, "match with the parent article" is a total non-argument. In any case, here is not the place to discuss a move of Administrative divisions of the Republic of China.

  • I agree with you on the merge part, but this is a RM on this title alone. In this case, we had best move one step at a time. GotR Talk 06:39, 1 May 2013 (UTC);Reply
  • There are no restrictions on what can be counter-proposed even if the original proposal is limited in scope. In this case I think we can "kill two birds with one stone". Green Giant (talk) 08:02, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment unlike this article, the proposed merge target is a top-importance article, so any move concerning that article should be discussed there, not here. And instead of killing two birds, you'll surely instigate a move and edit war, as has happened in the past. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 10:32, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Support: Per 94.197.127.120 and Green Giant's recommendation. The article of the Republic of China on Wikipedia is named "Taiwan", so this article, and others like it, should reflect that. Illegitimate Barrister (talk) 07:20, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Support: Per Green Giant and Guerrilla of the Renmin. Cavann (talk) 07:53, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Alternate per GotR, Oppose Green Giant's suggestion. If you read that article you'd see it covers territorial disputes with Russia, Mongolia, India, which has nothing to do with the currently controlled area of the Taiwan Area, so that article is about the Republic of China, and claims the entirety of the mainland as well. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 10:31, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
  • Comment - Two history subsections, more than adequately covered elsewhere, should not solely define the scope of the article, considering there is also a lead and about a dozen subsections dealing almost exclusively with the current Free Area. That was the basis of my suggestion of renaming that article. Please don't assume people I haven't read articles unless you have first hand evidence :P Green Giant (talk) 11:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
