Shaan-Gan-Ning Border RegionYan'an Soviet – I'm open to counter-arguments, but here's my reasoning:

Although "Yan'an Soviet" not the most common name among academic sources, I think that it's by far the most recognizable name to English speakers with some knowledge of Chinese history. Most English speakers who have heard of this area have heard it referenced in general terms, as "the Communist base in Yan'an" or "the Yan'an period in CCP history", etc. To the casual reader, it's not clear that "Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region" is a reference to the same time and place. But "Yan'an Soviet" is an accepted informal name for the area, and using it instead will make it MUCH easier for readers to find this article.

I think the way other articles talk about this area is very telling. There are many references to the CCP's time in Yan'an, but far fewer mentions of the "Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Region". Some articles that reference this region don't even link here, I think because even most Wikipedia editors don't know this page exists. For examples, see: Yan'an Forum, Yan'an Rectification Movement, Yan'an faction, Maoism#Yan'an period between November 1935 and March 1947, Mao Zedong#Alliance with the Kuomintang: 1935–1940.

Support. Yan'an Soviet meets common name requirements and is more concise. JArthur1984 (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
