Talk:Andrew Oung

Name
Oung's Chinese name can be written in multiple ways due to the many romanization systems available. Chinese sources prefer pinyin, and the South China Morning Post's chosen spelling Oung Da-ming is a reflection of that. The preceding link gives his full name as Andrew Oung Da-ming, and the Taiwan News also gives his English name as Andrew. Taiwanese publications (Taiwan News, China Post) and internationally known sources (Los Angeles Times) prefer the spelling Oung Ta-ming. Taiwan News and the South China Morning Post agree that the subject's given English name is Andrew, and Taiwan News and China Post further confirm both date and cause of death. So, I believe it safe to conclude that by whatever romanization system, 翁大銘 is Andrew Oung, and Andrew Oung is dead. Vycl1994 (talk) 23:47, 18 June 2016 (UTC)

This link is likely to be the South China Morning Post confusing James and Andrew Oung. Both of their romanized names are given as Oung Da-ming, which would be truly confusing for family members and violate Chinese naming taboo. The China Post confirms the existence of a younger brother and gives his Chinese name as 翁有銘, romanizing it Wong You-ming. To avoid a pinyin mess, I used the English name given in the second South China Morning Post for the younger brother. Vycl1994 (talk) 00:17, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
