Index of Cantonese-related articles[edit]

Index of Cantonese-related articles (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This type of list can be considered depecrated, per deletion of the China index as well as this, this, this, this, this, this and this AFD. The index in question is tiny and not maintained. Would have prodded, but the AFD route was tried already in 2007. Geschichte (talk) 07:34, 15 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Cantonese (with the history preserved under the redirect) per Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Alternatives to deletion. It is useful to preserve the content and history because the items in this list can give editors ideas about how they can expand and improve articles such as Cantonese, Cantonese people, and Cantonese culture.

• Delete per nom and all other recent examples. Precedent is now set to remove all these Index lists. Ajf773 (talk) 10:10, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: I would prefer a redirect over deletion so that the article's useful history and content are retained. An alternative to deletion would be to move this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject China/Index of Cantonese-related articles so that the content is preserved.

• Delete like other same articles. NavjotSR (talk) 11:39, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, this is not a useful search term. I highly doubt any future editors will look through the history of an obscure redirect in order to expand an article. Devonian Wombat (talk) 23:15, 24 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
