I don't see the need for this article to stand alone, the current article could well be merged back into propaganda in China in several parts, some of which could be split out and put into Wiktionary. So I think it would be better to merge into Propaganda in China#Terminology. ときさきくるみ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 01:54, 14 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Especially if you are the one to do the merger - you are a good and careful editor. JArthur1984 (talk) 17:30, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose owing to unnecessary wordiness. Merging Propaganda in China (7726 words) and Xuanchuan (1560 words) would result in 9286 words, which exceeds the Article size guidelines. Keahapana (talk) 20:12, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Keahapana: This is not a major problem, and given that a lot of the content is in fact duplicated and a significant portion of the xuanchuan content is unsourced, it is entirely possible to trim it down to meet the standard. ときさきくるみ^{not because they are easy, but because they are hard} 05:53, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Propaganda in China#Terminology per Tokisaki Kurumi. This is just the Chinese word for "propaganda", and the sources listed are all discussion of propaganda in China rather than the word specifically. We are well served by a breif discussion at Propaganda in China#Terminology and mentions in other relevant articles. Eluchil404 (talk) 23:47, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Propaganda_in_China#Terminology as proposed. This overlaps with that section, and not enough here to make it work doing a fork. There are entire paragraphs in this article that have nothing to do with China or Chinese which can be deleted. Oblivy (talk) 15:36, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
