Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Homophonic puns in Chinese
article can be improved to meet standards. The topic itself is a notable one and deserves to be expanded. Homophones and near homophones are a very important part of Mandarin Chinese. I do however, find the "Chinese" in the title slightly problematic. The other chinese languages are similar in their prominence of homophony but the article seems to actually be about Mandarin and should be labeled as such. The pronunciation for other chinese languages would be different, and since homophony is about pronunciation, the article should go ahead and be titled as being about Mandarin Chinese. The specific claims of  and  do not apply here since no original argument is being made. The most general ideas in the article are all either cited or are common knowledge to anyone familiar with the language. For the latter, sources can be found and added, the article is new. The specific ideas in the article are cited and the article does not attempt to form a new conclusion based on those ideas. It states other widely held ideas which connect them and cites the sources, though not all. The article can and will be improve in the near future
