Stefan Wong (actor) → Stephen Huỳnh – as according to the content of the article. 218.250.159.25 (talk) 21:18, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It looks to me that the spelling Stephen Huỳnh, is more prominent, even in the references provided. --UnQuébécois (talk) 02:39, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Variety calls him "Stephen Wong". TiffReviews says, "Stephen Wong Cheung-Hing". Who gives him with a Vietnamese diacritic? Kauffner (talk) 13:37, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- To my understanding it's rather common for people to be credited with names that are the norms in the territory. For example, Rebecca Pan is often erroneously credited as Poon, and Karen Morris as Mok, since Poon and Mok are the common counterparts for their Chinese-language surnames in Hong Kong. "Stefan Wong"'s brother Francois is named Huynh in the Wikipedia article about him. 218.250.159.25 (talk) 20:53, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose I have yet to see reliable sources calling him Huynh (IMDb and its Hong Kong equivalent are not reliable by Wikipedia's standards). His blog seems to have gone offline recently, but according to the Wayback Machine he called himself "Stephen Wong", which should count for something. I haven't looked too closely into his brother's article, but maybe that's the one in need of a move. Huon (talk) 21:15, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Further discussions

- Comment: The problem is that the article for his younger brother got a source from TVB, the organiser of the pageant, with his name listed as Francois Huynh on the list of former contestants. Stephen Huynh took part in the pageant a year or two earlier, and the information for the earlier contestants is no longer available on TVB's website. Yes such a source is quite indirect, but it does demonstrate that the surname of the brothers is indeed Huynh. Further, even if Stephen's surname is Wong, the sources in this article suggested that his first name is spelt Stephen instead of Stefan. 218.250.159.25 (talk) 12:09, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Both JayneStars and the Official Forum of Stefan Wong use "Stefan Wong". I am not sure whether the first is a reliable secondary source, and the forum definitely is not a reliable secondary source at all, but the JayneStars interview discusses the name change and clarifies that his current name is indeed Stefan Wong. Do you need better sources than Wong discussing his own name? Huon (talk) 15:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure whether Jaynestars.com is a reliable source. If that is, it appears that it's Stefan Wong himself who changed his own surname.., or at least the surname in his professional name as an actor. And it also justifies the different surnames of the brothers. 218.250.159.25 (talk) 21:07, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Unfortunately the article was too old to qualify for WP:PRODBLP, so we'll have to jump through an additional loop to get rid of it. Huon (talk) 15:40, 6 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stefan Wong (actor) → Stefan Wong – There does not appear to be another notable Stefan Wong. The proposed target currently redirects to the disambiguation page for "Stephen Wong", which is a fairly different name. bd2412 T 01:37, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nomination. In the same manner as another single-name entry (Steven Wong) at the Stephen Wong dab page, Stefan Wong is the sole name which uses this exact form, thus making the qualifier unnecessary. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 05:13, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Comment in the last move request, everyone pointed to sources calling him Stephen Wong. I'm not sure whether JayneStars (the source cited for "Stefan") is WP:RS, and they seem to call him Stephen Huynh as often as Stefan Wong. South China Morning Post has one article using "Stefan" [1] but another using "Stephen" [2]. Across all of Google (filled with unreliable sources which don't necessarily contribute to WP:COMMONNAME, of course), Stephen Huynh outnumbers Stefan Wong by about 2:1. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 16:12, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- To clarify, I agree with the nominator's main point: this actor is the only one who ever gets called "Stefan", so even if this article ends up at another spelling, Stefan Wong should redirect to that spelling instead of the dab page. 59.149.124.29 (talk) 01:23, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Only one here. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:58, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
