I would like to standardize the western style for Asian names.
- If we're going to IMDB for media titles, then it makes sense to extend that to actor names as well, and IMDB goes western style.
- Some Asians have western names, so it'd be weird having two standards. (Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Jay Chou, etc)
- As the rules mention, we're an American site, where the American release date and American release title comes first, and all pages must be in English. Well, in the US, the surname goes on the end, with very few exceptions. (Chow Yun Fat and Yao Ming are the only two I can think of.) Everybody else, Byung-Hun Lee (look at the
GI Joe: Retaliation poster), Ken Watanabe, Ichiro Suzuki, the Chinese lady in the neighboring cubicle, every Chinese person I ever grew up with in the US, uses the western style.
Are there any objections?
