A fact from China at the 1952 Summer Olympics appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 21 August 2008, and was viewed approximately 2,265 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the People's Republic of China made its Olympic debut at the 1952 Summer Games, but the team arrived in Helsinki too late to compete except for one race by a single swimmer?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2008/August.

competitor

WU Chuan-Yu (b. 1928) finished fifth in heat 5 of the 100m backstroke, of the first round on July 30th, with a time of 1:12.3 He was the only PROC Olympian to compete at the Games. ^[1]

I don't know how to put in my words. I really don't have an opinion about whether the title should be changed or not. HOWEVER, until Aug. 14, 2008 there was another page in Wikipedia titled "Republic of China at the 1952 Summer Olympics" whose URL was http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Republic_of_China_at_the_1952_Summer_Olympics

Just now I found the page had disappeared.

Did that page merge with this one? Or was there a foul play?

Incidentally, if that page was mered with this page, and this page changes the title from "China" to PRC, where will Taiwan or "Republic of China" be. Yes, I am originally from Taiwan (and now in US). —Preceding unsigned comment added by X2flu (talk • contribs) 23:48, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Republic of China at the 1952 Summer Olympics. The team withdrew from the Games, so there was no reason for that article to exist. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 06:36, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

requested move

This should be the People's Republic of China at the 1952 Summer Olympics, since they were not called "China" at the games, according to the Olympic Report. http://www.la84foundation.org/6oic/OfficialReports/1952/OR1952.pdf. {{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help) 70.55.86.69 (talk) 07:15, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The official report does use simply "China". Look at pages 16, 23, 89, 94, 120, 154, 238, 245, 574, and 756. Only on page 32 is "People's Republic of China" used, and that is to distinguish it from "China (Formosa)" in that single section. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 19:24, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
