Previous page deleted?[edit]

Previous page with this name deleted on grounds of G8 "Talk Page of a deleted page" 10 January 2012 by Sandstein, but I cannot locate discussion in Sandstein's archive. In any case, this article is new.

Later: Now I see it is in a group of deleted articles National Upheaval of 1900 and deleted for Notability, which I think is now established. ch (talk) 02:51, 31 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

suggestions for revision[edit]

On the DYK discussion page Coin945 suggested that

the article is currently not in Headings that are used throughout Wikipedia for books. I would highly recommend turning "Zheng Yi" into "Background", and splitting "Scarlet Memorial" into something like "Research", "Development", and "Release" (perhaps you need more development and release information?), and then turn "Reception in the West" to Critical reception, which subsections on "West" and "East".

My reason for making the section "Zheng Yi" was that Zheng Yi should be an article, but I didn't have the time or the sources to do one. I think the suggestion is good, and will make the change. But I think that I can only change "Reception in the West" to "Reception" Even though I read Chinese, I don't have access to Chinese language journals.ch (talk) 18:00, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You could post a comment to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject China, asking for assistance. (Also, you should WP:Be Bold and commit to making the Zheng Yi article. I believe in you! :)--Coin945 (talk) 18:06, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
