[edit] Jiangjun

This article was just VfD:ed under the title chiangchun and voted to be moved to this page, though without voters actually paying any attention what the VfD was actually about, which is why I'm resubmitting this again in the hope that people will try to focus on the relevant this time. The previous state of the article made a bogus claim of the word having a meaning separate from the Western concept of general and that there existed a specific knight-like warrior caste in ancient China akin to the Western knights or perhaps samurai, all of it utterly unverifiable. In the previous VfD, there were some very questionable claims that since this word can be used to designate one of the pieces in Xiangqi, Chinese chess, and since it can be used in Chinese similar to a verb meaning "checkmate", it would be enough to grant it a separate article. Verb usage or not, this is a pure dictionary definition and should be deleted. Peter ^Isotalo 13:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki. While the Xiangqi reference moves this beyond pure dicdef, that reference is sufficiently covered by the Xiangqi article itself; no more than a redirect is needed for this part. Scrap that part of the stub and you've got the dicdef. Lomn | Talk 14:50:02, 2005-08-17 (UTC)
• Delete. Dicdef. As for its usage in Chinese chess, Xiangqi covers more than enough. BorgQueen 00:24, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
