Talk:Pei-ching

Please do not re-nominate for verification without comprehensive reasons for doing so.
Per discussion at the Beer Parlor, I would like to attempt to officially confirm with durably archived resources the existence of one word: Pei-ching. Is the word 'Pei-ching' really verified according to Wiktionary? I think not, but I'm not really sure. If no one is interested in working with me on this, then do not respond and I will just go on doing other editing. Thanks! --Geographyinitiative (talk) 19:55, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm looking at this, and I see I've got at least two books with an ISBN and one with a Library of Congress number. I assume that's good enough, right? "The most commonly cited sources are printed books, magazine and journal articles and newspapers."([1]) Well, I've cited three books that have numbers that indicate they are in a durably archived collection. Is my reasoning wrong??? --Geographyinitiative (talk) 20:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
- RFV passed I believe I upgraded the page so that there are at least three uses (not mentions) that are verifiably durably archived. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 18:40, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

1860 Usage[edit]
I consider this word of Wade-Giles origin for the moment, but obviously Wade did not exist in 1860. The author says 'Pei-ching' is a word based on a new orthography. So this is either a one-off from a rare system, or maybe a proto-Wade, which would still count as Wade to me. Or it could be something else. It just depends on what actually happened and what the history is, which I don't know. --Geographyinitiative (talk) 15:39, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
