::::As I was saying, it won't so much alleviate anything as... [[User:Alai|Alai]] 03:34, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
*'''Support'''. But the new categories should remain sub-cats of Category:Mainland China geography stubs in any case. Mainland China (which is commonly known simply as China) is the main part of the People's Republic of China. [[User:Michael G. Davis|Michael G. Davis]] 19:41, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
*:All very well, except that "Mainland China" is an ''unofficial'' description which lends itself to all sorts of misinterpretation (is Hainan mainland China?). Also, there are no permcats for "Mainland China" (for the same reason), so there's no reason why there should be stubcats.

*** As far as I know "mainland China" is not unofficial. Governments use it, international organizations use it, and the press uses it, too. Hainan is mainland China. What do you mean by permcats? [[User:Michael G. Davis|Michael G. Davis]] 04:44, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

**Oops. Those articles are certainly in need of being properly referenced, IN's certainly not wrong about that. On the basis of [http://www.usc.cuhk.edu.hk/wk_wzdetails.asp?id=1290], [http://www.chinavista.com/hyper-c/areas.html] and [http://www.worldbank.org.cn/English/content/china-environment.pdf], it appears to actually be in the NW.

*All these regions are regions in mainland China. Passer-by 22:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
**Which isn't an official sub-division, isn't an official name, and most pertinently of all, isn't how the permcats are organised. Whither {{cl|geography of mainland China}}, {{cl|Subdivisions of mainland China}}, {{cl|provinces of mainland China}}, {{cl|autonomous regions of mainland China}}, if this is such a great idea? BTW, can you please fix your signature so that it links to your user page (or user_talk: page)? Thanks. [[User:Alai|Alai]] 05:02, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
***"Mainland China" is not an unofficial terminology. It is official. I don't know why there isn't perm cat for mainland China, but it depends on different situations. Provinces and so on have their bases in the Constitution, therefore [[:Category:Provinces of the People's Republic of China]] and so on. Passer-by 10:33, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
****Please explain in what contexts "mainland China" designates itself as "mainland China" for official purposes. Not when "mainland China" participates in the Olympics, say. Nor when "mainland China" issues passports. No permcat for ''this'' situation doesn't exist. The "provinces of the PRC" are quite distinct from "mainland China". If you're not going to create one, and have its existence subject to the will of the community, it makes very little sense to insist that stubs are grouped that way, seemingly solely on the basis of being able to mobilise enough "votes" at SFD and WSS/P, but not elsewhere. And, please link your signature. [[User:Alai|Alai]] 16:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
*****The People's Republic of China does not designate <i>itself</i> as "Mainland China". It defines the majority of itself to be "Mainland China". The People's Republic of China government, for example, releases economic and demographics figures of mainland China. Agencies of the People's Republic of China such as the Securities Regulatory Commission regulates financial activities in mainland China, whereas the People's Bank issues bank notes and coins for use in mainland China.
