nominator's rationale WP:original research. There is Taishan, Guangdong, a modern administrative area (a city), or Sunning (old name of Taishan), an administrative area in Qing dynasty. As well as Siyi, a notable area of 4 cities (or called Wu Yi, which Si mean 4, Wu mean 5) and Siyi Yue, a local dialect of Yue Chinese . However, introducing a new original research concept "Greater Taishan Region" is not allowed in wikipedia. Even if it exist, i don't find any reliable source in Chinese or in English.

Merge into Siyi. From the opening sentence: The Greater Taishan Region ... is another term used to refer the Sze Yap Region, where "Sze Yap" redirects to "Siyi". Most of the content is duplicated in that article. The information in the list of notable people is duplicated the articles for individual counties in Guangdong, but we can move the list to the Siyi article if it's ethnically sensitive. If we can find a source for the term "Greater Taishan Region" or "台山地区" it may warrant a single mention in the Siyi article. Delete as second choice.

For the list of name, it is unsourced and some of them may be living. Which unsourced BLP content may be remove entirely. I knew there is some book (and PhD thesis that became published book in low circulation) on researching place of origin and their success in Hong Kong, but the current state of the list was a typical WP:listcraft (a wiki thesis not a guide), unsourced, lack of exact inclusion and exclusion criteria, etc. If people want to find people from foo, they can just look for Category:People from Taishan (and the cat is a Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Speedy material for C2D reason).

merge / redirect. They seem to cover the same content and be about the same size, so it’s unclear how much of any needs to be merged.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 02:54, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
