Page moved. Vegaswikian (talk) 17:09, 14 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tu Wei-ming → Tu Weiming – Relisted for further input. Jafeluv (talk) 18:22, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As per WP:NC-ZH. and also Tu Wei-Ming → Tu Weiming Chinese names should follow the convention set out with the removal of the hypen. The article list publications without the hypen in the name said. Takamaxa (Talk) 05:55, 28 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting case. WP:NC-ZH is irrelevant here since the subject is an American, has published largely in English, and has an academic career almost exclusively based in the US. Google Scholar has 2830 results for Tu Wei-ming ("Tu Wei-ming" -"Tu Weiming") versus only 1030 for Tu Weiming ("Tu Weiming" -"Tu Wei-ming") However, the subject's own website uses "Tu Weiming". — AjaxSmack 01:11, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Agree. Tending to oppose on the grounds of Google Scholar. But in view of the subject's own preference, wavering. Is less than a 3:1 ration enough to go with scholar? Relist perhaps? Andrewa (talk) 01:56, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Support: "Tu Weiming" is what the author preferrs to style his name as per his own website and the name as it appears on his publications than it make sense to change it.--Michaela den (talk) 12:29, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
