Talk:Chinese Communist Party/FAQ

Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the corresponding page Chinese Communist Party. They address concerns, questions, and misconceptions which have repeatedly arisen on the talk page. Please feel free to change this material in light of new discussion.

Q1: Why is the article titled "Chinese Communist Party" when the party's official name in English is the "Communist Party of China"?

A1: The name "Chinese Communist Party" is more commonly used by reliable sources in the English language. Consensus on the current title was reached on 23 July 2020 (see discussion). As of May 2024, there have been five failed proposals to revert this decision due to a lack of policy-based arguments (i.e. pertaining to WP:MOVE) on the part of the proposers.

Q2: Why are certain political ideologies and positions not included in the infobox?

A2: Per MOS:INFOBOXPURPOSE, content in an article's infobox must appear and be reliably sourced in the article body. A fact should only be added to the infobox after it has first been added to the article body with reliable sources. Content that is in dispute between reliable sources is generally not included in infoboxes.
