Contested deletion

[edit]

This article should not be speedy deleted as being recently created, having no relevant page history and duplicating an existing English Wikipedia topic, because content is moved here from the main Beijing article to allow this topic to be elaborated while at the same time, reducing the length of the same topic in the main Beijing article. --ContinentalAve (talk) 20:27, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beijing (name)Names of Beijing – to conform to other articles that detail the various names of a location, and historical names for that location. This article covers not the name "Beijing" but the names for the place known as Beijing, since "Beiping" and "Yanjing" (etc) is not the name "Beijing" but other names for the place "Beijing" (they are completely different names, and not just alternate spellings) 70.24.247.66 (talk) 03:46, 13 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
