Tim Chow[edit]

  • ... that the English footballer Tim Chow was due to be released by Wigan Athletic in April 2015, but after a change of manager was given a new contract?
  • ALT1:... that the English footballer Tim Chow has expressed interest in representing Chinese Taipei at international level?
  • Reviewed: Head of Christ (Correggio)
  • Comment: Article previously existed and was deleted. By request, the old edition appears in the page's history. There is proof on the talk page that it was previously deleted. On a secondary note, the Chinese source uses the common name "Taiwan" for the team, but FIFA use the name "Chinese Taipei".

  • Ignoring the fact that this was previously speedied - new enough (18 April) and long enough (1.8k chars). Neutral sounding, with no apparent copyvio. Hooks are stated and sourced. QPQ done. One minor gripe, his Chinese name is inaccurate according to ref #8; Ethnic Chinese rarely transliterate their Chinese name from their English one. Fuebaey (talk) 22:18, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Fuebaey I took the Chinese name from the Chinese Wikipedia article, which I now realise is original research. Indeed, the subject may have a Chinese name which is nothing like his English given names. Removed Chinese name until there is a source on the matter. '''tAD''' (talk) 10:30, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
  • Thanks, ref #8 gives it as 周定洋 unless you're looking for a more authoritative source. Fuebaey (talk) 17:05, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
