Free area of the Republic of China → Taiwan Area – It seems like Taiwan Area is more common and easy to understand. Donttellu8 (talk) 05:11, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: The current opening paragraph appears to violate WP:ISATERMFOR. Is the topic of the article the area or the term? I suggest the area should be clarified and emphasized more than it currently is. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:54, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- @BarrelProof, the article appears to be specifically about the use of the term. If it were about the area, then it possibly should be merged. DankJae 20:41, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
- Both are terms. That latter is more commonly used. Matt Smith (talk) 02:24, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Are those terms really synonymous? In that phrase, "area" is not consistently uppercased. I am still not convinced the article is just about the terminology and not about the area to which the term applies. — BarrelProof (talk) 03:43, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- When being properly uppercased, they are synonymous. The article content can be about the terminology or the area to which the term applies; it doesn't matter. Matt Smith (talk) 04:32, 3 September 2024 (UTC)

- Support, Taiwan Area seems more concise.

- Weak support on the basis of a more WP:concise title.

- Support. It seems a concise term and is used in legal and official functions. Lewisguile (talk) 14:25, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Term both more concise and commonly used. Even Chinese Wikipedia refers to it as "Taiwan Area" Zinderboff(talk) 15:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
