This article is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Taiwanese counties.

Page move

This page should be moved from Quemoy to Kinmen (81600 vs 220,000 on google). Quemoy is an outdated name for Kinmen. Kinmen is now used by the government, in tourist brochures, and elsewhere. --Ji ang 05:41, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I'm getting slightly different numbers from Google – 303,000 for "Kinmen" vs. 105,000 for "Quemoy" (and 41,100 for "Jinmen") – but the qualitative conclusion is the same. --MarkSweep✍ 12:07, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I subtracted "wikipedia" so our own articles would not skew the count --Ji ang 16:28, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I search for English pages only.. it gives 69 300 hits for Quemoy, 72 200 for Kinmen, 33 200 for Jinmen, 5 590 for Chinmen, and 3 910 for Chin-men. "Quemoy -Wikipedia -Kinmen" gives 72 000, whereas "Kinmen -Wikipedia -Quemoy" gives 68 700. I'd prefer to keep it as it is, since the difference is not that large. — Insta ntnood 10:32, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

I really don't see a reason for *not* moving here. Exclusing non-English sites means exclusing Taiwan-based websites. The government uses Kinmen. --Ji ang 21:13, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
