Nationality

edit

Of the 31 other people currently in Category:Taiwanese billionaires, only 2 list their nationality as "Republic of China." If a nationality is to be listed in Gou's infobox, I feel it should be "Taiwanese". But I don't see any reason that Gou's nationality needs to be listed here---citizenship and residence would be more relevant than nationality, in my opinion. Therefore, I am removing it.

Romanization of name

edit

A month ago, an IP observed that Gou's surname was spelled incorrectly, when compared to the hanyu pinyin system. While they are correct, the WP:COMMONNAME spelling Gou dominates discussion of this article's subject and his siblings. Aside from the Wade Giles-influence in the early years of the Taipei Times (Kuo Tai-ming, Terry Kuo), the spelling Terry Gou has been used from 2003 to the present day. American-based English-language sources give his name with the Gou spelling. Gou's brothers also spell their surname the same way: Gou Tai-chiang another mention in 2017, and Tony Gou.
