Unhelpful page name?
editWould this new page be better just named Tony Xia? Having just heard about him on BBC 10'clock TV News tonight in relation to his purchase of Aston Villa FC, I tried to look him up, using the name used by the media, but to no avail. Tony Xia returns no result, and there's nothing yet in the Xia (surname) DAB page. I had to go to the Aston Villa page to find a functioning wikilink. Parkywiki (talk) 22:03, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Chinese), it's better to use Xia Jiantong as the page name. --Alexchen4836 (talk) 07:07, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- I agree that the Chinese convention should be used, and there should be no honorific in the title as per WP:HONORIFICS, he is often referred to as Tony Xia without the title, redirects would suffice. Mountaincirque 18:43, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
- Page has already been moved due to the use of honorifics in title. Honorifics now back in new page name - is this ok as per Wiki guidelines? --LegereScire (talk) 16:15, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
