May 22 Information
Awkwafina trying to fix her article but need Awkwafina in Chinese it already has her Chinese name but its for her legal name and not her stage name
stage name Awkwafina legal name Nora Lum (Already has a translation on the article} Google translate was of no help with this as it did not translate this 🌸 1.Ayana 🌸 ( talk) 17:56, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- The Chinese transliteration is 奥卡菲娜, although I don't think this is very useful for the English Wikipedia. The stage name is English, and Chinese sources only use the Chinese because they have to transliterate it. IMO It would be like putting the Chinese transliteration for
Jackie Chan when it's never used in Chinese like that.

- And why not also then add the Korean transliteration 아콰피나? And the Korean transliteration 노라 럼 of her birthname? And why stop there? What about Arabic, Armenian, Hebrew, Japanese, Persian, Russian, Vietnamese? -- Lambiam 20:46, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
- @ 1.Ayana: Since she "needs" her stage name in Chinese I'm guessing it doesn't have a Chinese equivalent save for what Bibliomaniac suggested. If she officially doesn't have it in Chinese there's no reason to add it on the English Wikipedia. — Tenryuu 🐲 ( 💬 • 📝 ) 04:09, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
