Shouldn't this be moved to lists of Chinese leaders?

Major changes to the table and possible deletion edit

This article seems mostly like a duplicate of List of presidents of China and List of premiers of China. The data is presented in a much more condensed fashion, but the tables are fairly sloppy and have some incorrect information about the start- and end dates of terms. Plus, since terms start and end in the middle of the year, the fact that these cells mostly map neatly onto years is confusing. A reader who knows this already can digest this table (after mistakes are fixed) fairly easily, but an uninitiated reader may come away with minor misconceptions. Those other articles, on the other hand, contain information about their specific term start- and end dates that would preclude this confusion.

Perhaps, as I just noticed, this article could be moved to "Lists of Chinese leaders" - that edit is from 2008. This article clearly doesn't get much attention, and cleaning it up would be a lot of work and possibly duplicate work already done in other articles. I'll do it anyway since I like the idea of having a more compact table, though - that's the main thing keeping me from nominating it for deletion. Blippy1998 (talk) 00:59, 27 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
