Unnecessary Chinese Name template

edit

The template page Template:Chinese name states: "This template may be put at the top of a biographical article to explain to readers unfamiliar with Chinese names which part of a name is the family name." In other words, this template should only be used in articles of persons with names using the traditional Surname-Given Name convention (e.g. Wen Jiabao, Ma Ying-jeou). If the person's name uses a western Given Name-Surname convention (e.g. Jackie Chan, Bruce Lee), there is no such need to "explain to readers unfamiliar with Chinese names which part of a name is the family name". Therefore, I removed this template, which is unnecessary in this case. --supernorton 04:49, 4 November 2010 (UTC)Reply
