Move to draft like others say Jungguk (talk) 21:25, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, but improve sourcing obviously. Move to draft if necessary. The ebb and flow of the geographic territory of China is an important historical topic, and one worthy of encyclopedic treatment. BD2412  T 04:17, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep but it is a horrid article, which is largely meaningless to those who know little of Chinese history. I would suggest adding the dates of the dynasties, and putting the lists of countries ruled by each in narrative form, not vertical lists; also ensuring that the three maps are attached to the periods to which they refer.  Perhaps userify for amendment.  Peterkingiron (talk) 14:06, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Moved to draft. I have already moved this article to draft to improve on the various points that have been raised. Morrisonjohn022 (talk) 04:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
