Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because content is moved here from the main Beijing article to allow this topic to be elaborated while at the same time, reducing the length of the same topic in the main Beijing article. --ContinentalAve (talk) 20:27, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move from Beijing (name) to Names of Beijing[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: RESULT: Move to Names of Beijing. — LlywelynII 12:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beijing (name) → Names of Beijing – to conform to other articles that detail the various names of a location, and historical names for that location. This article covers not the name "Beijing" but the names for the place known as Beijing, since "Beiping" and "Yanjing" (etc) is not the name "Beijing" but other names for the place "Beijing" (they are completely different names, and not just alternate spellings) 70.24.247.66 (talk) 03:46, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.

Support. The proposed title both better reflects the contents of the article and is consistent with other similar articles (e.g., Names of Seoul, Names of Singapore). — AjaxSmack 20:24, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support for same reasons as Ajax. --RJFF (talk) 10:50, 18 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support. & with it being one week and unanimous, will start the close. — LlywelynII 12:08, 20 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Moving forward[edit]

Probably the best thing would be to have the names in a table, although that could get messy as the divisions change over time.

Peking (北京)			1912 – 1928	Generally only under nominal control of the central government throughout this period.
