Again? Still a county?

edit

@Kautilya3: In your revert actions, you more-overly kept the current "County" statement, even zh name has kept in , I'd love to know why? Is office announcement even unreliable now? Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 06:26, 9 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Mainling CountyMainling – Originally I believe that such move won't be controversial as not only officially announced, but also adopted by several reliable sources, but a user reverted my move and later, explained their own rationale that why it's controversial, so far let's start a move request instead.

(It is the same thing from Talk:Tsona County) Support. (I will use quotation marks for the names of the types of administrative divisions as I refer to the governmental classification) I am completely shocked by Kautilya3's erratic and problematic understanding on WP:RMUM and WP:OFFICIAL. Among all the things that need to be considered, the only major one is whether "Tsona" is currently a "county" and a "(county-level) city", and the answer is obvious that it is currently a "(county-level) city", and it does not matter that whether it is determined by a source in what language. So let me make the currect situation clear: "Tsona" is currently not a "county" at all (which has been announced and implemented by the government), but Kautilya3 considered it as "still a 'county'", which contradicts to the actual situation. If the current naming itself is erratic and can lead to misunderstanding (for this case calling an administrative division which is currently not a "county" at all as a "county"), the change of the article name is not the matter about WP:OFFICIAL and WP:UCRN, but the matter about WP:5P1 instead.

Support. Mainling is now a city. A city is never formally referred to as a county in China regardless if it is county-level or prefecture-level. Midperson (talk) 01:15, 10 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
