Huang Chia-Hsin → Huang Chia-hsin – When using Wade–Giles, the second syllable of a given name should not be capitalised, see WP:NC-ZH. Mohsen1248 (talk) 22:23, 31 May 2013 (UTC) Mohsen1248 (talk) 22:23, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment that is not generally true. In names, which use Wade-Giles, people will frequently capitalize the second syllable. While the prescribed form of Wade-Giles says not to do this, in practice, it is done. We should use the form used in the real world, not the form that is not used. So, do you have proof that this person spells it with a lowercase second syllable, or that the preponderance of sources do? This is not a historical figure, this is person playing now, in the 21st century, so it should be easy to see what the actual usage is, instead of the theoretical formulations that that guideline uses. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 03:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * comment the only reference this article is using uses "Chia Hsin Huang" so there isn't even a hyphen. Many Wade-Giles names don't feature hyphens in the real world, as you can see by checking phone books for regions with Chinese people who use Wade-Giles form names. This Facebook page of someone named "Chia-Hsin Huang" capitalizes the second syllable. As does the scholar that is listed in this bibliography or this Californian. So, clearly, the proposal needs support to show that the tennis player spells it lowercase, since many people with the same name do not. The only source in the article doesn't even use hyphens. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 03:59, 1 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Support. It's the correct format.--Cold Season (talk) 22:16, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
