Category:Taiwanese political parties[edit]

The current official title of the country is Republic of China. And in fact most major parties take part in Quemoy and Matsu, which are not part of the Taiwan province of the ROC, and are not part of (and not near) the island of Taiwan. Renaming to category:Political parties of the Republic of China or category:Political parties of the Republic of China (Taiwan) will better reflect what this category is about. — Instan tnood 19:02, Feb 14 2005 (UTC)

By nominating I support renaming. — Instan tnood 19:04, Feb 14 2005 (UTC)

Keep where it is Most people outside the US and Taiwan have never heard of and do not understand the term "Republic of China" - they would confuse it for the People's Republic of China. "Taiwan" is accurate enough here, and the most widely understood term, jguk 13:01, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- Quoted from Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese): "the word "Taiwan" should not be used if the term "Republic of China" is more accurate.". "Republic of China" (ROC) is the current official title of the government currently governing Taiwan, Pescadores Islands, Matsu Islands and Quemoy. The word "Taiwan" is not an accurate description in this case, as on Wikipedia "Republic of China" is preferred over "Taiwan" when referring to the government. And as I have mentioned, Quemoy and Matsu are neither part of the province of Taiwan of the ROC, nor near to the island of Taiwan. — Insta ntnood 19:26, Feb 16 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The general direction nowadays is towards the word Taiwan, both inside and outside of Taiwan -XED.talk 20:00, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Agree with others. Maurreen 05:20, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- It is not accurate. Most political parties take part in elections on Matsu Islands and Quemoy as well, which are neither part of the island nor the province of Taiwan. — Insta ntnood 08:49, Feb 17 2005 (UTC)
Irrespective of the accuracy of the name, the format of the title is wrong, surely. At the very least it should be Category:Political parties of Taiwan Grutness|^hello? 00:22, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
To keep is better than what has been suggested. However, I would prefer political parties of Taiwan. That is, until China and Taiwan reunite again, if ever. As for now, keep. gidonb 10:16, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Rename. Naming convention supports this. Penwhale 16:13, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
