Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/蜀
There's a policy issue here which we've all overlooked, but it's there in black and white. |Wikipedia:Article titles states that "Names not originally in a Latin alphabet, such as Greek, Chinese, or Russian names, must be transliterated. Established systematic transliterations, such as Hanyu Pinyin, are preferred", and  says the transliteration must be "into characters generally intelligible to literate speakers of English". The guideline at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese) states that "The article title itself is normally the pinyin representation with the tone marks omitted". So it's clear that 蜀 is forbidden as an article title, even for a DAB page, and should be rendered as Shu. The only outcome of this debate that is compliant with policy and follows the guidelines is to delete the page. I'm changing my !vote accordingly
