Cantonese, Wade-Giles, Pinyin... Some even have English names! How do we choose?
In the first mention of the artist in the article's text, priority shall be as follows:
If an artist is credited only with an English name and no last name (e.g. Selina), then a Pinyin or Wade-Giles last name may be used to disambiguate. Similarly, you can attach the words (Taiwanese/Chinese/Hong Kong singer).
As a workgroup in WikiProject China, we will abide by the naming conventions posted there. However, within the text of the article (i.e. excluding templates and infoboxes), the terms China/Taiwan/Hong Kong shall refer to the industries that are dominant in those regions. The reason for this is because most Taiwanese awards are given to Taiwanese artists. Likewise, Hong Kong awards mostly go to Hong Kong artists. The word "Taiwanese" can be used interchangeably to describe:
For those editors who are changing

Taiwan: the Republic of China encompasses Taiwan, and is the current official name of the political entity governing that region. Yes, the common name for the area is "Taiwan" -- that's why the common name is in parentheses. That way, we recognize the common name and the official name.
Usually, this term is used to encompass all three regions, and is used primarily for award shows. Greater China is usually described as either "the entire nation" ( simplified Chinese: 全国; traditional Chinese: 全國; pinyin: quán guó) or "the entire world/planet" ( Chinese: 全球; pinyin: quán qiú). The term may seem politically charged, especially for supporters of Taiwan independence, but it's really just a collective term for all three Chinese pop regions.
For artists working in Hong Kong or Taiwan:
For artists working in Mainland China, Singapore or Malaysia:
For crossover artists coming from South Korea (or elsewhere):
For the purposes of this project:
From this definition, Mayday is a band. Fahrenheit is a group.
Please attach (<artist name> album) when creating album pages. This makes the page specific from the get-go.
TBD
