East Asian New Year[edit]

The term East Asian New Year is original research by the editor, and redundant with Lunar New Year. This article falsifies a singular cultural entity, which in reality consists of culturally disparate New Year celebrations. This article mainly describes the Chinese New Year, and gives misconceptions of other New Year celebrations with over-generalization. Cydevil38 (talk) 01:47, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete. Per nom. We already have Chinese New Year which is on not just the holiday in China but the globally celebrated holiday, including in the rest of East Asia. In some cases there are articles for specific countries such as Korean New Year. But there's no need for a separate article on the holiday in 'East Asia', that's already covered in Chinese New Year.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 19:30, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
