Comments

In Taiwan, the Minister of Justice can not ask for a retrial. Only the Solicitor General can. It is common that with the blessing from the Minister of Justice, the Solicitor General would, for one case, file special appeals several times. However, Minister can not argue the case in court.Chcyang

new government

"These conditions may remain in effect until Chen Shui-bian's tenure expires on May 20, 2008." - anyone knows the new government's position? --219.84.119.55 (talk) 15:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article needs to be updated badly.

Chen Shui-bian is no longer even president. What is the new president's position? —Preceding unsigned comment added by E3323 (talk • contribs) 11:22, 29 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tortured English needs editing

The writing in the sections "Temporary Moratorium between 2006 and 2009" and "Execution Resumed" is very confusing and difficult to read. It really needs some editing to make it readable. Also the dates of the unofficial moratorium need to be made clearer. Davidreid (talk) 13:06, 4 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Capital punishment in the Republic of China → Capital punishment in Taiwan – I propose to rename this article to Capital punishment in Taiwan to fit in with other articles about Taiwan.C. 22468 Talk to me 15:37, 3 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Support - No reason for it to be inconsistent with the Taiwan article. Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 06:41, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. mgeo talk 22:58, 4 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Articles that deal exclusively with the actions of the government of Taiwan should use "Republic of China". Readin (talk) 18:36, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Readin. Brain-dead consistency with a parent article is not policy and a null/void argument when dealing with intricately complex issues such as this. GotR ^Talk 19:42, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support Brain-dead - and ultimately confusing - inconsistency with parent articles isn't policy either. Presumption must be in favour of moves to the common, accurate and clear use of "Taiwan" for primarily "present day"-focused articles such as this, with the onus on those supporting exemptions for inconsistency to offer specific reasons in each case. None have been given so far .. N-HH talk/edits 20:40, 6 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Readin. It is the government - Wikipedia is not here to be politically correct, but accurate. GregJackP Boomer! 03:39, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per MQ and N-HH. --BDD (talk) 20:23, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Support per the country article's name and WP:COMMONNAME. Timrollpickering (talk) 18:40, 12 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Incomplete section: Religious attitudes

According to Wikipedia's "Buddhism in Taiwan" article, Taiwan has at least 4 major Buddhist authorities. Only one of those is represented here - and the link to the cited source for that one is dead. Also , according to Wikipedia's "Religion in Taiwan" article, Buddhism is practiced by 35% of the population. Other religions include Taoism (33%) and Christianity (3.9%). Need to discuss attitudes of these also (or change the title from "Religious attitudes" to "Buddhist attitudes"). --Zahzuhzaz (talk) 12:51, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Added views of 2 more Buddhist authorities. For Fo Guang view, replaced dead link to Chinese source with live link to English source. Removed unsourced anecdotes from Buddhist sutras as irrelevant - the topic is not what scriptures say, but Buddhist views of capital punishment. It is evident that different masters can use the same teachings to support different views! Still need Taoist and Christian views. --Zahzuhzaz (talk) 17:32, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point of the "Executions Recommended" section?

The "Executions Recommended" sections seems pointless to me. It barely has content, and I believe the little content it does have could be merged into the sections above it. Overall, I am in favour of removing the "Executions Recommended" sections, because it has no purpose, and even if it does, the purpose would already be covered by the sections above it anyway. --KingErikII (Talk page) 07:55, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
