Tong Hua (writer)Tong Hua – This is the only page whose title should be "Tong Hua." Fairy Tale (Michael Wong album), which Tong Hua redirects to, has a Pinyin name of "Tóng Huà," with diacritics. The Chinese city is named Tonghua, with no space. Thus, I think this is the dominant "Tong Hua."--Mike Selinker (talk) 01:56, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. There is no ambiguity. Tonghua is not the same thing and if there is the possibility of confusion, a hatnote can be used. —  AjaxSmack  03:36, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Many English-speaking people (e.g. me) aren't familiar with the diacritics used in scientific transcription of Chinese and don't know when spaces are appropriate or inappropriate. For this reason, I suspect that most people who look simply for "Tong Hua" are looking for something other than this writer, so having Tong Hua redirect to Tonghua (disambiguation), as it does now, is going to be helpful to a larger number of readers than your proposal would be.

  • Oppose. There is no principled reason Tonghua could not be correctly Romanised as Tong Hua. It seems too close for comfort. I also agree with Nyttend that someone searching for "Tong Hua" on the English Wikipedia is probably not looking for the writer. Good Ol’factory (talk) 01:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
