Tai Chi Tao seems to be more popular: [1]. Only 32 sites use the pinyin. --Jia ng 09:01, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Move away. I did "Dai Chuanxian" because the Examination Yuan calls him that (in Chinese). --Menchi (Talk)â 09:09, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Does Wikipedia favor the national government's usage over common English usage? (Sincere question, I don't know these things). Incidentally, Dai Jitao seems to be more popular on Chinese webpages. [2]

--Xiaopo's Talk 09:25, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)

This is not even an ambiguous case. Look at Talk:Chang Hsüeh-liang#Pinyin or W-G. --Menchi (Talk)â 09:27, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

OK, I understand that now. But the ROC's National Palace Museum mentions him in an English page and uses W-G. [3]. (Not to mention the slightly incorrect W-G form used by the Examination Yuan's English pages [4]) --Xiaopo's Talk 09:35, Dec 24, 2003 (UTC)

"Tai Chi-tao" it is, then. --Menchi (Talk)â 09:42, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Or "Tai Chi-tao"? But the first few links refer to Tai Chi and Tao - not the person, i believe: [5]. But since he lived under the ROC... --Jia ng 09:13, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It's probably hyphenated and correctly (de)capitalized. This isn't like Chen Ning Yang, I believe. Tai wasn't westernized to the degree like Yang at all from what I can tell. And that he isn't Cantonese at all (Cantonese names are traditionally in the "Chen Ning Yang" category). --Menchi (Talk)â 09:20, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

This still beats the 32: [6]. --Jia ng 09:26, 24 Dec 2003 (UTC)

It seems his involvement with Chinese Socialism is not mentioned in the paragraph, can anyone add to that? Thanks.

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved per general consensus. (closed by non-admin page mover) QEDK (愛 • 海) 18:10, 20 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The request to rename this article to Dai Jitao has been carried out.

Tai Chi-tao → Dai Jitao – Per WP:PINYIN and Google Ngram. "Tai Chi-tao" isn't even as common as Tai Chi-t'ao (or Tai Chi-t’ao) with an apostrophe, [7]. The other Western European wikis (German, Norwegian and Swedish) all use "Dai Jitao". Timmyshin (talk) 05:37, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support WP:PINYIN enough use in recent books In ictu oculi (talk) 06:57, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:PINYIN and usual practice at Wikipedia. Unless the subject is extremely well know by another name (e.g. Sun Yat-sen, T. V. Soong) or largely notable for activities in Taiwan after 1949 (cf. Chang Li-sheng and Wei Tao-ming [primarily notable for activities in Taiwan but also notable for activities in China → modified Wade-Giles] vs. Yan Xishan and Li Zongren [primarily notable for activities in China but also notable for activities in Taiwan → pinyin]), the house style iterated in WP:NC-CHINA should apply, even if sources are mixed. — AjaxSmack 14:56, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
