Xiaoting PanPan Xiaoting – Standard wiki personal articles apply surname-first format for East Asian people, e.g. Kim Ga-young and Yi Jianlian. – Apipia (talk) 00:36, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support - per encyclopedic WP:CONSISTENCY (vertical and horizontal), and WP China naming conventions. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:02, 24 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. She is notable for activities in or on behalf of China so we should apply the normal style conventions (WP:NC-CHINA). —  AjaxSmack  02:07, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Pan is notable in her home country and other countries, as a world champion, not a competitor in only Western-hosted events, under her native name order; Americans and other anglophones tend to know her as Xiaoting Pan simply because of the WP:BIASed preferences of the Western billiards publishing and televising industry. There is no rationale for ignoring the normal naming convention here; this would only happen if Pan were notable primarily to an English speaking audience and always under the Western name format. It takes only seconds to find sources using her proper name order.[7]  — SMcCandlish ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ʌ≼  02:02, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
