text: This person share a common English name with 6 other notable people in the world, Raymond Wong.  He may has an unique Chinese name, but this is English Wikipedia and we follow the English WP:MOS.  The best way to distinguish them precisely is by parentheses description, in this case: politician.  Unless one could argue that his notability surpasses all other whose name is Raymond Wong.

replies: text: However, "Raymond" in these people from Hong Kong is equivalent to an American middle name. In every day news reporting, their Chinese names are integral to their Western name and their surname. And looking at each person's biography, many of them do not have a stable career or "label". Film director Wong Pak-Ming continues to be an actor, and Wong Yuk-Man has evolved from lecturer to commentator/host to legislator and maybe one day just restaurant owner. Using western name only for these people who primarily reside in Hong Kong does not make sense. HkCaGu (talk) 05:03, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I failed to see any support on your theory of any Chinese would call themselves "Yuk-man Raymond Wong".  And the title you suggested "Raymond Wong Yuk-man" puts "Wong" as the middle name, which does not match your claim of Raymond as the middle name.  That rule only applies on the Chinese side of Wikipedia, not the English side.  The parentheses description on title is merely a way to distinguish multiple people sharing a common English name.  If this Raymond Wong becomes more widely known as a restaurant owner in the future, then his title will be "Raymond Wong (restaurateur)", but until then he is best known in the western world as a politician.

replies: text: Why are you confusing everyone? When I said Raymond is EQUIVALENT to the American middle name, that means it is the "optional" part of the name. Yuk-man identifies him, not Raymond--for Chinese speakers and for the English press in Hong Kong. Using "Raymond Wong Yuk-man" does NOT put Wong as the middle name. Being in the middle doesn't mean it's middle name. In ENGLISH Wikipedia you'll find all types of people and in their articles (titles or body) where first name isn't first, middle name isn't in the middle, and last name isn't last. WP:COMMONNAME suggests that as a HK politician, the Hong Kong name order should prevail. HkCaGu (talk) 19:12, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The order you mentioned is still in status quo, no consensus was ever reached, and you may visit WP:NC-ZH to renew the discussion on Hong Kong names in the main talk page.  The archive can be found in WT:Naming conventions (Chinese)/Names#Hong Kong people's name.  The closest policy is WP:UE, which implies the current title is correct.  Therefore, until any policies were drafted specific for Chinese people with an English name, the English MOS and naming convention will be used for everyone in Hong Kong with an English name.

replies: text: While I disagree with the notion that the English name is 'equivalent' to the middle name (I think it depends on the person in every case; the G is HG Wells is not optional, and would any one call Donald Tsang 'Tsang Yam-kuen'?), I think it's pretty clear that most sources use 'Wong Yuk-man' rather than 'Raymond Wong'. However, they all use Albert Ho, Emily Lau, Carrie Lam, etc. Kayau (talk · contribs)  14:01, 1 March 2013 (UTC)
