Lim Hyo-jun Korean name edit

Shouldn't Lim's Korean name be changed to only show "임효준"? Since he was formerly South Korean, his family name would be "임," not "림." I also searched other South Korean people with the same family name (e.g. Nayeon from Twice), and they only had "임" as their Korean name. Arbaro95 (talk) 08:14, 13 March 2021 (UTC)Reply

The title should have been Lin Xiaojun edit

Now Lin Xiaojun has become Chinese. We should change the title into the translation from Chinese. John Smith Ri (talk) 13:40, 6 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Requested move 13 July 2022 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved. WP:COMMONNAME prevailed as argued by participants of the discussion. A new discussion can be opened if and when there more reliable sources using his official name in English (thus making it more common).

Note that my role is technical, this is not a support of the RM rationale Ymblanter (talk) 05:52, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

According to his official page in ISU database has already changed his name to the pinyin form, as "Lin Xiaojun" ([[1]]). I believe it is an official sign on the international stage. And thanks to Ymblanter who removed my edits wtice and warnt me, I am opening a discussion topic here. HTsien (talk) 02:26, 13 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

I think WP:COMMONNAME should apply here, and unless there's evidence showing his new name is the prevalent usage in reliable English sources, the page title should remain. Big Wang (talk) 04:11, 15 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose per Big Wang. Google News has eight hits for "Lin Xiaojun" [2], and 100x as many for the current title [3]. The fact that his WP:OFFICIALNAME has changed is not relevant until WP:RS start following that usage. 61.239.39.90 (talk) 06:19, 20 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
