Yilin Zhong → Zhong Yilin – She is based in London, but from what I can see all her novels she wrote while in London are in the Chinese langauge, published in China, and for the Chinese-speaking audience. I think the only work she wrote in English, according to the page, is a research paper titled "Postmodernism and the Third World" which I can't find anything else about. Given that, I think the Chinese naming order is strongly preferred over the Western naming order. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 14:39, 25 June 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

 * Support per WP:CHINESE. Khestwol (talk) 07:44, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Oppose - she is known in English as "Yilin Zhong". See the book covers at - they all use that word order. Per WP:CHINESE, this is "an exception for people whose Chinese name is familiar but with English ordering (for example, Wen Ho Lee). In this case, the primary entry should be under the Western ordering with a redirect from the Chinese ordering."  &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 10:52, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
 * oppose per Amaraku's link. Normally Amazon isn’t an especially good guide to anything but in this case it seem that many of her works are published here, all under the name Yilin Zhong, and this extends to the technical information inside the books, presumably written by her, such as "About the author: Yilin Zhong is a British Chinese writer, an award-winning journalist and a No. 3 Amazon(China) bestselling author. She now lives in London" (from ).-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 14:55, 25 June 2015 (UTC)
