According to his birthday speech that was posted by The KoKang Facebook page, his birth date maybe 21 January 1928. And that page's pinned post says he has died at the age of 94. So, should we correct his birth date to 21 Jan 1928? Ninja✮Strikers ^«☎» 04:11, 21 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Pheung Kya-shin → Peng Jiasheng – WP:COMMONNAME.
Reliable sources (Nikkei, BBC, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, etc.) use his Chinese name, while his Burmese name is typically only used in parentheses. GLORIOUSEXISTENCE (talk) 04:42, 9 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 05:59, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Oppose but the Global Times (owned by Chinese Communist Party) and The Irrawaddy called him "Pheung Kya-shin" instead of "Peng Jiasheng" ([1][2]). It's better not move.--El caballero de los Leones (talk) 04:25, 14 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Good point, I retract my support EmeraldRange (talk/contribs) 16:58, 23 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
Relisting comment: The nom and all !voters seem to be relying on instances of usage. It doesn't work that way. We want evidence of a pattern of usage. Andrewa (talk) 05:59, 16 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
