Shouldn't that be ..."pi"? Jidanni ( talk) 05:01, 19 February 2019 (UTC)
Removed the {{ expand japanese}} tag from the article. There's very little there that's relevant and even less that's sourced. There is some interesting commentary on how the point is important for some Japanese as a place to honor the many imperial war dead who were killed in the Luzon Strait, but it would need to be carefully handled and sourced to avoid offense, UNDUE, and BIAS.
Future editors would also be much better served expanding the article using English and Chinese sites from the island's government and media for anything not related to structures &c. from the period of Japanese occupation. — LlywelynII 15:20, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

doesn't really apply to WP:NOTABILITY but here's an article about a Czech tourist who overstayed his ROC visa and attempted to construct his own raft from refuse on the Eluanbi beach. Launching his craft, he wore himself out paddling against the current and was watching the thing disintergrate in the waves when we was picked up by the Taiwanese coast guard. 6 June 2013. — LlywelynII 09:00, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Ditto this article about a "referendum torch" that was carried from Eluanbi Lighthouse to Kaohsiung in 2003 to drum up support for democratic reforms. Since the major reforms had already occurred a decade earlier, I'm not sure how NOTABLE or effective this relay was. — LlywelynII 13:05, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
When I got here, there was a bit in the article about the "nose" in the placename possibly coming from a nasiform rock on Banana Bay. That was unsourced and, as Cape Maobitou makes clear, almost certainly completely incorrect. "Nose" is just a word used in some dialects of Chinese to mean "headland". — LlywelynII 14:06, 27 March 2019 (UTC)
[merged from Talk:Taiwan Southermost Point]
should probably be the actual name for this article, since it's the actual headland upon which this statue and tourist spot is located. It's also the official IHO designation for the southermost point on the island of Taiwan, used for the boundaries of the Taiwan Strait, the South China Sea, etc. — LlywelynII 04:06, 14 March 2019 (UTC)
Found an existing article about the Cape. Merging. — LlywelynII 15:52, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Not sure why the change from ROC to Taiwan, is it that there is a farther south point in ROC de Jure or that there is a farther south point in ROC de facto. Naraht ( talk) 18:36, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
