Hu Fing-chuan → Hu Ping-chuan – His Chinese name is 胡炳权, and there's no dialect or romanization scheme that would render "炳" as "Fing". The question therefore is, do we use the WP:COMMONNAME even though it's clearly a typo, or do we use the name that makes more sense? In addition to having played for China, the guy also coached the Singaporean national team in the 1980s per, so there may be more English-language sources from the 1980s.

 * Oppose move. You yourself claim Fing-chuan is the common name - and if that is indeed the case, there is no case for your proposed move. Wikipedia doesn't "correct" abnormal transliteration if the sources are consistent.  ONR  (talk)  20:59, 17 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Just now, googling found "about 10" hits for "Hu Fing-chuan" table tennis and "about 25" hits for "Hu Ping-chuan" table tennis . Accept move and make an end of a trail of misinformation left by an old typo or misreading. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:19, 18 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Support - "fing" is clearly a typo, and as Anthony has shown, not a common name. -Zanhe (talk) 09:16, 18 March 2018 (UTC)
