History of the People's Republic of China → History of China (1949–present) – The title is concise and it is customary to use the year like in the History of India article. Interstellarity (talk) 17:04, 30 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. ASUKITE  17:07, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hyphen changed to a dash per MOS:TOPRESENT, assuming that was just a typo. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:52, 30 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Oppose the historical periods in China are by "dynasty" (when unambiguous), not year. The PRC isn't quite a dynasty similar to the Ming dynasty, but it is similar enough. Walsh90210 (talk) 22:47, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * The title would also conflict with articles like History of the People's Republic of China (1976–1989); those articles have a better argument to be renamed like History of China (1976–1989). Walsh90210 (talk) 22:49, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
 * ...isn't the current title WP:NATURALDIS from History of the Republic of China, which itself is a natural disambiguation from History of Taiwan the island. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 15:56, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose – China cannot be compared to India (although "another article does A so this article should do A" is not a policy-based reason) because of the Two Chinas problem. Does the history of "China" include historical parts of China outside of the mainland? Does the history of "China" include the history of Taiwan where the Republic of China is based? The current title keeps the scope specific to mainland China / People's Republic of China and excludes Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, etc. Yue 🌙 17:39, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Oppose, the current title is a nice WP:NATDIS. CMD (talk) 06:15, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Oppose per CMD. The current title also seems more clear about what the subject is. Most people don't have an immediate grasp on why 1949 would be a special year, but would recognize that the establishment of the PRC is something important in Chinese history. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:44, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
