Zhang Xianzi → Xianzi – This singer has always been known as just Xianzi, not many people know her surname. (On zh.wiki it's also Xianzi.) While Xianzi of Han is a notable topic, is there proof that he is ever called just "Xianzi"? If not, then it's a case of WP:PARTIALMATCH. I propose that the singer is primary for Xianzi, with a hatnote for Xianzi of Han. Timmyshin (talk) 13:44, 4 March 2017 (UTC) Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 06:42, 13 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose she is named after xianzi (musical instrument) see "a xianzi" in English books. Have no idea why Xianzi is currently directing to Xianzi of Han since "xianzi was" shows various uses. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:59, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

The instrument is not called "Xianzi" in Chinese. zh:弦子 is about the singer with no hatnote for the instrument. Timmyshin (talk) 21:45, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Oppose - "Xianzi" should be turned into a disambiguation page. It was a very common posthumous title during the Spring and Autumn period. Although Han Xianzi is the only existing English article at the moment, there are a large number of other Xianzi's such as Meng Xianzi, Fan Xianzi, Wei Xianzi, Zhao Xianzi, Zhonghang Xianzi, etc. Most have zh articles. -Zanhe (talk) 18:50, 14 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

All of these are WP:PARTIALMATCHes. Timmyshin (talk) 21:43, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not exactly. Posthumous titles such as Xianzi (occasionally translated as Viscount Xian) are often used without the name of the state/clan. -Zanhe (talk) 22:39, 16 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
