Mianchi

Unreferenced, cannot find anything in English. Googling the Chinese name seems to suggest that this is the Mandarin pronunciation of the Cantonese name for Miso. Anyway, the primary topic for Mianchi is Mianchi County. Timmyshin (talk) 04:41, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * don’t delete. As-is does not make much sense as an article, but there are better outcomes than deletion. Restore the redirect to Mianchi County. Or a disambiguation page with that and Miso. Leaning towards the former, as can find no evidence miso is known as "Mianchi". The Chinese/Kanji chars may be the same but that is taken care of by the redirect 味噌.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 08:37, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * A disambiguation page is inadvisable, because Mianchi County is definitely the primary topic, WP:TWODABS or not. This can be verified by Googling "Mianchi" in GoogleBooks. Timmyshin (talk) 17:30, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * In this very dry (not good for miso) text, you can see it History of Miso - Mianchi gets a couple of passing mentions as between variants.
 * You can also see it at Soup for the Qan - mianchi is mien shih (that's also in the first link btw. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:45, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid these passing mentions are not enough for a standalone article, and I don't see what is different between this and Miso (other than the name). Timmyshin (talk) 17:30, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

 * Redirect - Definitely looks like it is the Chinese variant of Miso - which, given the number of sources, amazingly enough does not include a variant bit. In any case, they are very similar and is merely a variant (and Miso is the overriding name, it just isn't complete yet). Nosebagbear (talk) 14:35, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Mianchi County - primary topic. Mianchi (as miso) is almost never used in English, not even common in Chinese. -Zanhe (talk) 17:22, 8 May 2018 (UTC)
