 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Poor discussion so far: the "keep"s merely assert notability rather than establish it by citing sources. And AnotherEditor144 is a blocked sock.
 * Keep. WP:AFD is not cleanup. If there are specific parts that are original research, then those parts should be edited, but the topic itself is notable, and the term "Taiwanese drama" or shortenings like "TDrama", "T-Drama", "TWDrama", "TW-Drama", etc., are commonly used in the East Asian series fandom in the West. Compare similar articles in Hong Kong television drama, Japanese television drama, and Korean television drama (no objection to renaming this article by inserting the word "television" for consistency with those other articles); if those topics are notable, then so is this one. —Lowellian (reply) 16:08, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Nominator comment I've been here for a while, I'm well aware deletion is not cleanup. My point is that it reads as a content fork of the articles listed in the see also section. – DarkGlow (contribs • talk) 16:21, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. AnotherEditor144talk contribs 18:15, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep and agree per User:Lowellian. Btw, Taiwanese dramas are popular in Burma too. Zin Win Hlaing (talk) 11:00, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep and rename  -- per Lowellian. Feel free to cut sections of the article as need be, but the topic itself is a notable overarching topic. matt91486 (talk) 00:37, 17 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep (or at least draftify). This article is well integrated to the encyclopedia as it has it's own lists (List of Taiwanese dramas from 2000 to 2010 and List of Taiwanese dramas from 2011 to 2020), is part of a set (Template:Television drama series), and 400+ pages link to it.
