Qingchuan novel

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Not encyclopedic, the fact that the protagonist time-travels to Qing dynasty (as compared to say, Ming dynasty) doesn't make it a different literary genre. Probably neologism as well. WP:NOTDIC Timmyshin (talk) 20:32, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Rename - Chuanyue, especially Qingchuan, is an extremely popular genre of fiction in contemporary China. Googling "清穿" (Qingchuan) will get you more than 1 million results. Chuanyue is also quite different from time-travel fiction elsewhere as it's usually not sci-fi. I think this article should be renamed "Chuanyue" and expanded to cover the entire genre, including Qingchuan. -Zanhe (talk) 18:39, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

 * Rename to Chuanyue per Zanhe. From and  chuanyue is the genre of which Qingchuan is a major part. Similar to the Outlander series type of historical fiction novels in the western world, which are all about the time crossover to earlier historical periods and not about the science fiction. --Mark viking (talk) 18:55, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
