List of people with surname Li → List of Asian people with the surnames Li, Lee, Lie and Lý – Just look at the list! Timmyshin (talk) 23:16, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment this title is actually out of line with the recent RFC result, List of people with surname Li (李) or Lee would be sufficient. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:52, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
 * FYI to readers: I suppose that is a reference to the discussion found at Talk:Li_(surname). —BarrelProof (talk) 00:26, 5 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment: Including "Asian" in the title also seems completely unnecessary (and might give an impression of being stereotyping editorial commentary), and would cause a problem if we subsequently noticed a candidate person with such a surname who was not "Asian" (e.g., someone who acquired their surname by marriage). Should such a person be excluded from the article? How would we determine whether or not someone is "Asian"? —BarrelProof (talk) 00:23, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * A large number, if not most of List of people with surname Lee are non-Asian and are therefore excluded from this page's list. What's your proposal? Timmyshin (talk) 00:53, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't think I'm the one making a proposal here. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:16, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Comment I would say move to List of people with surname Li (李) so that readers know the focus is on the Chinese surname 李 and not just any "Li". It saves us from listing all the variant romanisations of 李 in the title of the article. _dk (talk) 05:59, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Use List of people with surname Li or Lee (李) ; Hong Kong is an English-speaking locality, so the spelling there is quite important. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:30, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * NOTE The main article is at Li (surname 李) and also up for renaming, see talk:Li (surname 李) -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 12:39, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose "Just look at the list!" is not a valid reason for the change.  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 07:07, 5 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Have you looked at the list? Timmyshin (talk) 08:20, 8 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose This proposal addresses no stated problem.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  14:37, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Not convinced that there's a problem, but this would be worse. Andrewa (talk) 07:37, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
