This is a dictionary entry. I don't see why a translation of a Chinese ideogram would deserve an encyclopedic article. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:16, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * This is a disambiguation not an attempt at an encyclopedic article. The disambiguation is necessary because the same Chinese logographs can be read as Hanshi, Hanja or Kanji with each having a different meaning and reading. Each reading leads, for the most part, to its own article, for which these logographs are the title in the original language. The only dictionary definition is the Chinese one, but this has been included so as to disambiguate the other uses.--KTo288 (talk) 19:38, 22 January 2015 (UTC) This comment has been slightly rewritten to clarify, see diffs for the earlier version.--KTo288 (talk) 20:41, 22 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep, the Korean and Japanese entries are search terms in a language related to the topic. The Chinese one can go. Siuenti (talk) 22:28, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - This is a disambiguation page for the same East Asian ideogram that transliterates differently into English depending on the source language, not an article or a dictionary entry as the nominator claims. See similar discussions at WP:Articles for deletion/南山 and WP:Articles for deletion/南山 (2nd nomination). There is a well established category of dab pages like this, see Category:Disambiguation pages with Chinese character titles. -Zanhe (talk) 23:33, 22 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I agree with Siuenti. The Korean and Japanese entries are appropriate disambiguation entries. The Chinese one is currently a bit too ambiguous to be included. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 01:13, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep There are many examples of Chinese characters for disambiguation, and they serve a useful purpose. Need a much stronger reason to delete. Forbes72 (talk) 01:21, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep, but there is at present no basis for including entries for Steam locomotive or Train as neither of these mention the characters 火車. The other articles do clearly indicate the characters as an alternate name. older ≠ wiser 12:41, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment it's also the original name of a viral video. Just google "holy shit piss". Timmyshin (talk) 05:55, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
