Category talk:Videos from China
shouldn't it just be 'Videos from China"? the distinction PRC/China doesn't seem to made everywhere else Vera (talk) 11:41, 23 November 2017 (UTC)
- Well, there is a Category:Videos from China. This seems to have been used to differentiate between videos made before and after 1949. Whether that's a valuable distinction, I don't know. - Themightyquill (talk) 14:15, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
- Merge them. I believe videos are being categorised by their locations, rather than the states that have controlled the territories in history. For example, a video taken in Japanese Korea would still be categorised as videos from North/South Korea, even though they were part of Japan at that time and N/S Koreas didnt emerge until late 1940s. And this would be a video of China that doesnt belong to either ROC or PRC.--Roy17 (talk) 14:11, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
Stale discussion. @1Veertje and Themightyquill: Solution per user:Roy17, ie to be merged in favor of Category:Videos from China. But should we merge also Category:Videos from the Republic of China (1912-1949)?--Estopedist1 (talk) 20:03, 28 November 2021 (UTC)
- I say yes. I just checked another example: Category:German Democratic Republic doesnt have its own cat of videos either. Roy17 (talk) 16:05, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- But we do have Category:Photographs of German Democratic Republic. =) -- Themightyquill (talk) 23:32, 11 December 2021 (UTC)
- I plan to merge everything related to China to "Videos from China". As for Videos from the Republic of China (1912-1949), I think it's better and neater to sort them into "Videos of YYYY from China".--Roy17 (talk) 12:26, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Category:Videos from the People's Republic of China is redirected to Category:Videos from China.
Category:Videos from the Republic of China (1912-1949) is retained for videos from the Republic of China before it lost mainland and relocated to Taiwan in 1949.
Category:Videos from Taiwan should be used for videos from Taiwan, which is de facto synonymous to the "Republic of China" after 1949.--Roy17 (talk) 19:12, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
