Christopher Chung → Christopher Chung Shu-kun – Not qualified as primary topic: neither more significant nor popular than Christopher Chung (actor). Current title should be of the disambiguation page. As for the proposed title itself, even when it may not be commonly used, using natural disambiguation is more preferable than parenthetical disambiguation, Christopher Chung (politician). HK-style naming may be helpful. George Ho (talk) 07:58, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

• Support using HK-style as HK is an English speaking locality with a local style -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 06:22, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose. HK-style naming is a inconsistent-applied self-invention and had no official recognition. Either use Christopher Chung or Chung Shu-kun. --Cold Season (talk) 14:52, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
  • As I said, he's not primary topic, so would you prefer "(politician)" instead? --George Ho (talk) 23:40, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
  • HK naming style is in use in Hong Kong, so "self-invention" is wrong. It is not a creation of Wikipedia, HK news sources use this style and HK entertainment media. Wikipedia doesn't use official names because they are official anyways. WP:RS use this style, China Daily, SCMP, The Standard. Even official publications have used this style such as this Hong Kong Government publication by the Hong Kong Information Services Dept It clearly is in use, so stop talking nonsense about it being an invention. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 09:36, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

The only thing you have proven is its inconsistent usage, and not its established convention. --Cold Season (talk) 19:31, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Many people have inconsistent usage in their names in public. Just look at JFK, or John F. Kennedy, or Jack Kennedy or John Fitzgerald Kennedy, all variations of the person's name. Many people do not have one presentation of their name. It does show that the convention does exist and it is used. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 10:43, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose Same reason as with other ones you moved or trying to move, we need to avoid using long titles such as 'Christopher Chung Shu-kun' per WP:TITLE, it should be either 'Christopher Chung' or just 'Chung Shu-kun', per WP:NC-ZH. TheAvatar (discuss–?) 19:08, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Find articles out of eight (Chinese name) and thirty-four (Anglicized). --George Ho (talk) 20:03, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. The current title is the most common form of his name in English, as nominator's own results confirm.[1] Although there are HK publications that use the proposed form, I would consider it Chinglish. Confabulationist (talk) 01:34, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

• Rename and move as per @George Ho. Quis separabit? 19:18, 22 December 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose – with only two, no good reason not to leave one as primary and avoid the problems with the proposed mishmash title. Dicklyon (talk) 05:48, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
