Chinese character pianpangs → Pianpang – Per WP:CRITERIA of naturalness and concision. No need to disambiguate like with "component" or "radical". Remsense诉 02:07, 14 August 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Waqar💬 08:28, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, the reasons lies in that the titles of Chinese character radicals and Chinese character components, etc. are in plurality, and pianpangs are countable.

However, this name is in Pinyin. And if Pinyin names are not to be in plural form linguistically, then I agree with you. Ctxz2323 (talk) 04:04, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In general, the criterion is simply whether the topic is more commonly referred to in the plural or singular, whereby Chinese characters in the plural is actually distinctly in the minority. Remsense诉 04:09, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But the article is on different pianpangs. Ctxz2323 (talk) 04:17, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, just like Letter (alphabet) is about different letters, the letter as a concept, etc. Song, Planet, and so on. Many of your articles just happen to be in the plural because "Chinese characters" are usually spoken of in the plural in English. Remsense诉 04:47, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Understand. And thanks. Ctxz2323 (talk) 07:41, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nom. Per WP:CONSISTENT, we should generally avoid adding unnecessary disambiguation just for consistency's sake. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 14:13, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
