replies: text: You can delete the link if you want. It is the only link on the web currently that has his history. However John Ng is note worthy as an author of many articles in various publications, as a medical doctor, and as a kung fu teacher with hundreds of student (authors, title champions, Etc).--Duchamps_comb MFA 17:03, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I added John Ng again. If Ng Chung-sok, a Wing Chun master can be here john Ng can be here too.--Duchamps_comb MFA 19:38, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: If John Ng is so notable, why haven't we got a Wikipedia article about him? First write the article, then link to it from here. Everybody else on this list has a Wikipedia article about themselves. Hebrides (talk) 05:29, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: John Ng

message: # For any given notable Anglophone person surnamed Ng, what are the chances that they self-identify as  ("ing") or  ("wu")? 
# It would be ideal if each person's article contained a transcription of their own pronunciation (although I realize that there is no practical, easy way to bring that about—it would depend on many contributors knowing the answer and entering it).

thread_title: English pronunciations "ing" versus "wu"—prevalence of each?

message: Since it seemed apparent that its accompanying main-namespace page was an incomplete Dab, as the tag asserted, i merged Ng (Cyrillic) into the Dab NG (and turned the bad Dab page into a Rdr to a heading within the Dab's section "Linguistic entities") -- without committing to solving any broader issues. But turning to examining the individual pages it had linked, the logic became clearer: independent introductions of Cyrillic script into multiple non-Slavic cultures involved invention of 4 different characters for the same sound-producing anatomical act that linguists represent by /Ŋ (IPA)/ -- which has ng (-ng, really) as its only self-contained representation native to English; a less Anglo-centric, and more precise, title could have been either Cyrillic characters for ŋ or Cyrillic characters for the velar nasal phoneme, and those titles could simply be Rdrs to a point within a page that's structured similarly to List of Latin-script digraphs, and/or to Velar nasal (which has Ŋ (IPA) as a redirect).--Jerzy•t 02:22, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

message: As the title says- why do we need a section on notable people named Ngô when there is already that exact same section in Ngô? Eeidt (talk) 02:32, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Do we need section on Ngô (vietnamese) when there is a seperate page for that surname?
