Talk:Zhongyuan

Untitle edit

Created this page by splitting of the historical section of the North China Plain. Added some information on the extent of the plain from Chinese Wikipedia.

It was a mistake to merge the articles on North China Plain and the Central Plain of China.

Zhongyuan edit

It is wrong to think Zhongyuan is a geographic meaning, so it is better to move to Zhongyuan.--刻意(Kèyì) 14:29, 25 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Central Plain (China)Chinese Central Plain – or China's Central Plain, per WP:Natural. The term also shows up in books and is not a neologism: [1]. Relisted.

  • Comment: how does it compare to other similar articles? Are there other Central Plains? What's the most used term? FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 02:49, 18 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose - Contrary to the proposer's claim, "Chinese Central Plain" and "China's Central Plain" do not sound natural at all. It's usually called simply "Central Plain" or "Zhongyuan". I think the article should be moved to Zhongyuan, which is used in numerous English sources. See ngram. -Zanhe (talk) 08:23, 19 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose the proposal per User:Zanhe but am OK with Zhongyuan. (Here is a modified ngram to include the pre-pinyin Wade-Giles spelling of "Chung-yuan".) —  AjaxSmack  03:32, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose original proposal, support move to Zhongyuan per Zanhe. Cobblet (talk) 10:29, 23 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support a move to Zhongyuan per Zanhe and others, oppose both China's Central Plain or Chinese Central Plain.--Khanate General talk project mongol conquests 11:09, 24 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Relisting comment. Relisting again because although it seemed like we had a consensus for Zhongyuan, it is currently a dab page. Is this article's subject the primary topic of "Zhongyuan"?
  • Support move to Zhongyuan. I would agree that Zhongyuan is the primary topic, since most of the other article on the dab page would not be referred to as simply 'Zhongyuan'. Sovereign/Sentinel 12:16, 26 June 2015 (UTC)Reply
