The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus is clear the politician is the primary topic over the footballer and, as we don't disambiguate against potential future articles, there's no need to leave a dab page at the base location. This can be revisited should an article ever be created for the CPPCC member. Wade-Giles v pinyin can be the topic of a new RM if necessary, but there was no consensus to change it in this discussion. Jenks24 (talk) 01:26, 15 June 2015 (UTC)Reply



– The politician as a historical person who was born in the Qing dynasty, educated in Japan and the USA, became an official under the nationalist government and then defected to the Japan-friendly government, arrested and sentenced to death by the nationalist government and eventually executed by the communist government, has more long-term significance than the footballer. Even if it's not considered a primary topic, it should be moved to Xu Liang (politician), because first of all ROC as a disambiguator is quite ambiguous, and secondly this man's career is more notable for working for the Japan-friendly government for 5 years when ROC was warring with Japan. --Relisted.
