Merger

I am boldly merging Lulu and Nana here. The Lulu and Nana page is putatively about those two living people but was actually about the experiment that produced them and the reactions to it. I don't think we have enough information about the two girls to actually have a page about them. So I am just boldly doing this. If it is contested, we can have a formal merger discussion Jytdog (talk) 16:27, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Nice merging.--Lvhis (talk) 18:44, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Thanks! Nobody has contested it yet (whew), but it is good to have some explicit agreement. :) Jytdog (talk) 19:11, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Jytdog and Lvhis: FWIW - as OA of the earlier original "Lulu and Nana" article - yes - *entirely* agree - merging that article to here (ie, "He Jiankui") seems the better article focus at the moment, at least until there may be worthy verifications and details about the currently purported (afaik) "gene edited babies", I would think - in any case - Enjoy! :) Drbogdan (talk) 20:49, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

great. Jytdog (talk) 22:33, 1 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

He Jiankui → Jiankui He – Corrected to original order the page was made in and according to his published scientific articles, lab website, and his social media pages CRISPR Editor (talk) 06:06, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@CRISPR Editor and In ictu oculi: queried move request Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:43, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
But this is the normal en.wp order. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:31, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@CRISPR Editor and In ictu oculi: The Chinese character order is 贺建奎 = "He Jiankui", with the surname first. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:42, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthony Appleyard and In ictu oculi:Yes but see his own Linkedin page, his facebook page, his book, Quake lab alumni website, Deem lab alumni website, his researchgate, we should follow order of how he translates it to English not other people's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CRISPR Editor (talk • contribs) 22:08, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I am a scientific researcher for over 10 years and an English speaking researcher needs to be able to search for the scientist by the English order he states in his own scientific publications otherwise they are not found by the scientific community. The order should not be defined by press releases and wikipedia users- some chinese names on wikipedia are in this type of order as exceptions. "There 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."

Oppose. He's being refered to as He Jiankui in all newspapers as far as I can see. Laurent (talk) 13:41, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@WikiLaurent and Laurent: Hi WikiLaurent, did you look at any of the multiple references I provided? What is better source the press or his own wedding announcement? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=469188886937&set=a.102333721937&type=3&theater. --CRISPR Editor (talk) 16:50, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. The "exception for people whose Chinese name is familiar but with English ordering" mentioned above, which does not apply to He, most often arises for individuals who use a Chinese name in Western (e.g. Anglophone) society where their Chinese name is reordered to Western First Last name order. The example, Wen Ho Lee worked at Los Alamos and lived in the USA for decades prior to his notoriety. He Jiankui, by contrast, has spent his life in PRC apart from 5 years in California schools. Chinese names of PRC persons are most often reported with the Chinese Last First name order that they actually use. User:CRISPR Editor does find some counterexamples including from PRC sources. But by contrast, a Google search (admittedly, a rought tool not conclusive) shows 1.6 million for "He Jiankui" vs 52,000 for "Jiankui He." NTK (talk) 16:54, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
