Wu Yen-hsia → Wu Yanxia – A search of recent published works yields no results for "Wu Yen-hsia" other than false positives. On the other hand, there are over 200 results for "Wu Yanxia", including many false positives but at least a few relevant results:,. Given that there a clear majority of sources doesn't use a different romanization system, we should follow WP:NCZH and move this page to the pinyin form. SilverStar54 (talk) 18:26, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Oppose She moved to Hong Kong during British rule. She most definitely has an English version of her name, since the British authorities recorded her with that name. We should not use historical revisionism currently popular in the world. Her identity in an English speaking locality would thus be established by the HK Government records. A recontextualization of her name in pinyin would not be the English language official name. -- 64.229.90.172 (talk) 05:11, 25 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Support – a Google Books search suggests that "Wu Yanxia" is the more common transliteration in reliable sources. The IP's claim of "historical revisionism" does not make much sense (no one is trying to report her name as anything other than 吳雁霞/吴雁霞, it's only a question of how to render that name into the Roman alphabet) and in any case is contradicted by WP:NCZH and WP:Article titles. —Mx.
