Contest deletion
strong contest. yes, I realise it was deleted before, but because it was re-direct to political capital or whatever the page is at. The main impetus for my creation was my search for the term on the Chinese WIKI. Calling this a duplication when it is an abbreviation that could refer to either Beijing, Tokyo, or Kyoto, is reckless and borders on stupidity. Yes, I am discouraged; don't use the default notice --- 华钢琴49 (TALK) 15:25, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
strong contest. This article describes a Chinese phenomenon, namely to call a capital simply "capital" without another name, such as "Berlin" or "London" or "Washington".
Mathpianist, maybe we should expand to:
"Beijing" means "northern capital"
"Nanjing" means "southern capital";
Tokyo ("Dongjing") and Hanoi ("Tonkin" -> "Dongjing") means "eastern capital" (my pinjin could be off..)
Kyoto and Seoul mean simply "capital".
And we could provide some history to back it up. --BsBsBs (talk) 17:35, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Not sure what you are contesting as the article isn't up for deletion. Please stop making pointless posts about a closed issue. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe18:37, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Also, "Hanoi" is written as 河内, which means "between rivers". You may be thinking of one of its former names, Đông Kinh (東京). ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe18:48, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
It was up for deletion until Mathpianist93 removed the deletion request. Just wanted to voice my support. Thank you for the edits. --BsBsBs (talk) 19:34, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
He only placed a {{hangon}} tag on the page, which doesn't mean it will not be deleted. I removed the tag and fixed it up into a proper disambig page. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe05:12, 6 May 2010 (UTC)
