Per the reasoning at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of 2017 box office number-one films in Taiwan, the source situation is questionable. It's also exactly zero precedence on Wikipedia to have lists about how films grossed in cities. Geschichte (talk) 18:19, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

• There are several other identical Taipei lists for different years; please be sure to bundle them with this nomination as your argument affects them all equally and they should not be listed separately. postdlf (talk) 18:52, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

• Keep Taiwan’s film industry has the problem of "box office transparency". Only Taiwan’s capital, Taipei, always has complete disclosure of box office information. Therefore, the film industry always uses Taipei box office to evaluate the box office performance of the entire Taiwan market. It is precisely because of problem of box office transparency resulting in the city box office list appears. Regarding the lack of sources, it can be revised from the Chinese version of individual articles, and there is absolutely no problem with the source situation about Taipei box office. There is a problem with Taiwan box office' s sources, not Taipei box office' s. Please don't mix them up. --寒吉 (talk) 11:23, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

• But why should Taipei as the only city in the world have such a list? Geschichte (talk) 11:47, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

• If I understand 寒吉 correctly, it replaces the figure for all of Taiwan because of data problems for the rest of the country. If this is the case, I would allow it. 寒吉, please confirm! gidonb (talk) 15:21, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

• Yes. --寒吉 (talk) 03:46, 1 November 2020 (UTC)

• Keep all. This is instead, not an addition to, national lists. As confirmed above, national lists would have data problems. gidonb (talk) 10:47, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
• Keep all per the information from 寒吉 above.   // Timothy :: talk  11:55, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
