Wong Sing-chi → Nelson Wong Sing-chi – The guy's English name is "Nelson", so the title should follow Hong Kong's English/Chinese format. George Ho (talk) 07:30, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support using HK style for HK articles as HK is an English-speaking locality with a local style -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 06:46, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
 * I realized this article is copied-and-pasted from . I contacted WP:REPAIR, so we'll wait. --George Ho (talk) 07:44, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
 * History merger is done, and Chinese name is still retained. --George Ho (talk) 15:58, 8 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. The AP uses "Wong Sing-chi." The proposed format was created to cater to bilingual newspaper readers. We have a biography template and an InterWiki for them. We don't need this awkward low-tech solution. Confabulationist (talk) 11:32, 9 December 2014 (UTC) Sockpuppet investigations/Kauffner
 * I don't think anyone in Wikipedia recognize the Chinese name as much as Anglicized name with Chinese surname. --George Ho (talk) 19:35, 9 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose Same reason as with other ones you moved or trying to move, we need to avoid using long titles such as 'Nelson Wong Sing-chi' per WP:TITLE, it should be either 'Nelson Wong (politician)' or just 'Wong Sing-chi', per WP:NC-ZH. T he Avatar (discuss–?)
 * Nelson results twenty-eight articles; Chinese name, fifteen. --George Ho (talk) 20:00, 9 December 2014 (UTC)
 * As I told you in other talk page, Tavatar, the page was "Nelson Wong" until someone changed it to the current title. --George Ho (talk) 00:56, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * The reason I changed it from Nelson Wong to Wong Sing-chi because Nelson is hardly used in the media. He is most commonly referred as Wong Sing-chi. Lmmnhn (talk) 09:10, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * He himself is barely notable, regardless of name. --George Ho (talk) 12:16, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * As I have said before, I'm ok with either "Wong Sing-chi" or "Nelson Wong", just not "Nelson Wong Sing-chi" as your request suggested. T he Avatar (discuss–?) 16:00, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Perhaps choose either "Wong Sing-chi" or "Nelson Wong" if you oppose the proposed title. --George Ho (talk) 20:02, 14 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose. There's no so-called "Hong Kong format" as you call it; there's no recognition of such a naming format, thus a move on this basis is wrong. --Cold Season (talk) 18:55, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * @Cold Season, Tavatar: Choose either "Nelson Wong" or "Wong Sing-chi"; don't continue your indecisiveness with opposition to the proposed name. I'll propose next year if the discussion is closed as "no consensus". --George Ho (talk) 23:49, 10 December 2014 (UTC)
 * There's no indecisiveness, I oppose a move to Nelson Wong Sing-chi. I can't say which is more common with such little sources. --Cold Season (talk) 22:25, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Cold Season, I hope WP:NCUE helps you decide. --George Ho (talk) 08:01, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

 * Oppose. Unless have another Hong Kongers call Nelson Wong which are well-known as Wong Sing-chi. Wong had been legislators in Hong Kong from 2000 to 2004, 2008 to 2012. (8 years) 'Nelson Wong' would be better, as well as other Hong Kong legislators who have their English Names. Or otherwise that their Chinese name would not be in Beijing Name (example Wang) in English Wikipedia homepage to represent Hong Kongers in Wikipedia. 'Nelson Wong' would be better.Marxistfounder (talk) 05:03, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Support as per George Ho. DeistCosmos (talk) 20:15, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
