name of this article
editI suspect a more proper name for this article would be "Taxation in the Republic of China (Taiwan)" seeing as that is how the government of Taiwan officially refers to itself.[1] I guess I will leave it as is for the time being. Anybody have any thoughts? Webbyj (talk) 00:04, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Taxation in the Republic of China → Taxation in Taiwan – Articles on Wikipedia now generally use the name Taiwan so I therefore propose to rename this article to Taxation in Taiwan to fit in with other articles on Taiwan.C. 22468 Talk to me 22:02, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

- Oppose Articles that deal exclusively with the actions of the government of Taiwan should use the name of that government, the "Republic of China". Readin (talk) 18:37, 6 August 2012 (UTC)
- Move We don't title articles based on a small country's wishful thinking. We title on common names, not official names, and Taiwan is clearly the common name here. Ego White Tray (talk) 01:41, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
- Support If we had to use official names on derivative topics of national governments, we'd have titles like Taxation in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Taxation in the Republic of South Africa. Match the parent article, as this will cause no confusion. --BDD (talk) 20:35, 11 August 2012 (UTC)
