Education in China (disambiguation)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This disambiguation page is not required. The 3 articles about Macau, Hong Kong and Taiwan are listed at the hatnote at Education in China, and the other articles are not ambiguous with "Education in China". Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 17:33, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete - I think it was created by error. STSC (talk) 18:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete this is a general article directory, not a disambiguation page. John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:06, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep and rename to Outline of education in China. Education in China (disambiguation) reads as it were an outline, not a disambiguation page. See Outlines. It has a "historical perspectives" section that outlines articles about Chinese education in previous eras. An example of an outline article is Outline of education.

 * Comment: I reframed the article from a disambiguation page to an outline and expanded it. Cunard (talk) 05:23, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: It wasn't a DAB just because it was called one, and it's not an outline now just because someone wants to call it an Outline. Simply throwing together a random assortment of pages someone quickly finds into a page does not make an outline, it makes list spam.  // Timothy :: talk  06:34, 15 March 2021 (UTC)
 * The guideline Stand-alone lists says: "* Outlines, from the general (Outline of mathematics) to the somewhat specific (Outline of algebraic structures), are part of Wikipedia's Contents navigation system, and are indexed at Contents/Outlines. A type of tree structure, they are hierarchies of subjects organized as a structured list including headings, subheadings, and list items (usually bulleted, and preferably annotated). For more information, see outline (list), and WikiProject Outlines." This outline is not "Simply throwing together a random assortment of pages". This outline contains "hierarchies of subjects organized as a structured list" and meets the requirements of the guideline. Cunard (talk) 06:48, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To evaluate the new page as an outline.

 * Rename to Outline of education in China and keep - The reframed page is fine to keep. The page satisfies the definitions stated in WP:Outlines. Sun8908 &#8239;Talk 15:04, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename Outline of education in China. It serves as a(n incomplete) navigational aid, and Afd is not for cleanup. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:57, 16 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Rename to Outline of education in China seems a reasonable solution to preserve the navigational benefits of the page. It is clearly not a proper disambiguation page. BD2412  T 03:33, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
