English name

I realize the current article name ("Xiaolin") is from the Hanyu Pinyin romanization of 小林, but the spelling of the village as "Siaolin" (using Tonyong Pinyin) seems to be more common in English language media. Thoughts? Thanks! -Multivariable (talk) 11:19, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My opinion is to keep it as Xiaolin; the Taiwanese government has adopted Hanyu Pinyin as official, and unless that stance is reversed (and I am not going to claim that it definitely won't), I think that we should keep it as it is. --Nlu (talk) 11:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine; I was just wondering what others thoughts about the naming based on official vs. common usage. I've created redirects for "Siaolin, Taiwan" and "Siaolin" to redirect here. -Multivariable (talk) 11:39, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
