• Delete per nom. Possibly redirect somewhere. Pavel Vozenilek 17:24, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article is not POV, appears to be well-covered in reliable secondary sources, and is therefore not a neologism, and verifiable. Subdolous 17:31, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as an entirely redundant article. There is no need to have two articles on the exact same subject; having two articles encourages each to take different points of view. This article should be cleared and redirected to the appropriate article. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 18:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete as WP:POVFORK and move any relevant material into History of Taiwan. Sheffield Steel^talk_stalk 18:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep The History of Taiwan does not detail this period very well , although History of the Republic of China has some detail but nothing like the detail in this article. I say, expand the article,tidy up, link and categorise. scope_creep 18:43, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The articles if you have read them, do not have the same detail. The article we are discussing has much more, so merits its own page. Expand it. scope_creep 18:44, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep, this is not neologism. I suggest, however, to move it to Taiwan post-war era.--Jerry 19:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to Taiwan (province) or History of Taiwan 132.205.99.122 20:53, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Jerry, or merge. Content is definitely encyclopedic, although may be at the wrong title. Stifle (talk) 23:11, 31 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep per Jerry and per the comments made by Scope creep. All the article needs is some major revision and overhaul, which I am attempting to do. nat ^{Alo! Salut! Sunt eu, un haiduc?!?!} 14:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep This is an appropriate expansion of the related sections in History of Taiwan and History of the Republic of China. While the article is yet incomplete, it is worth keeping. WilliamDParker 18:10, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for irrelevant content. not neologism, but the term is not used to refer to a specific period of Taiwanese history. Rather, it is used to refer to the polity (the Republic of China) itself, and the preferred form used by the ROC government in the 1990s. redirect? --Jiang 22:26, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • So shouldn't it be merge instead?--Jerry 23:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. There is enough difference between the ROC that existed between 1911 - 1949 on mainland China and the modern state known as the Republic of China that exists only on Taiwan and a few other minor islands that a seperate article is warrented in a historical context. I suggest classifying this article somwhere under Category:History of the Republic of China. The main ROC page should still redirect to Republic of China as the modern status of the state is still controversial. -Loren 11:25, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per Loren.  _{Folic_Acid | talk}  16:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
