Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg's steady girlfriend is also named Priscilla Chan!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SpeakFree (talk • contribs) 00:03, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

So she is Mark Zuckerberg's girlfriend?

She look too old. 206.248.152.209 (talk) 09:15, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

No she is not. There is more than one Priscilla Chan in the world. Mark Zuckerberg's gf is a third-year American medical student, not a Hong Kong pop singer. Get your facts straight. Melba1 (talk) 17:10, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

• Priscilla Chan → Priscilla Chan (singer)Priscilla Chan (singer)
• Priscilla Chan (disambiguation) → Priscilla ChanPriscilla Chan

– When I search Priscilla Chan, I do not means this singer. So that recommends to refer the disambiguation back. Zero00072 (talk) 07:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

• Neutral probably Mark Zuckerberg's wife is better known in America, but here on en.wp she's only a mention in her husband's article. Wheras in books the Cantopop singer is still more notable. If the move gathers support then move Priscilla Chan (disambiguation) over the baseline. User:Zero00072 are you going to help fix all the broken links if the move goes ahead? In ictu oculi (talk) 10:55, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Reply Allthough she is only mention in her husband's article, many people will confuse that "Is she a singer?", absolute not I think. I do not want to introduce her as a singer as I am stupid again. So the disambiguation page is more clearly shows there are not only one. I will help fix the wrong link in my free. Zero00072 (talk) 13:33, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

Okay, not convinced but not opposing. In fact I would support (singer) being added even if Priscilla Chan primary redirects to the singer. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:00, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

• Oppose. Only person here by that name with an article. Zuckerberg's wife is known only for being Zuckerberg's wife (i.e. WP:NOTINHERITED) and only has a couple of lines in his article. Better to put a hatnote from this article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:40, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Reply You may follow the rule of WP:INTHENEWS. We known her by newspapers. Zero00072 (talk) 13:53, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
  • Although there are no her own page now, someone will build one. Follow the rule WP:REDLINK. Zero00072 (talk) 14:17, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
    • Yes, but she probably isn't notable enough for an article in the first place. What has she done in her own right? See WP:INHERITED. Just being written about because you're the spouse of someone famous doesn't make you worthy of an article. In addition, (a) we do not disambiguate unless we need to at the time, and (b) she is no longer Priscilla Chan anyway! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
      • Reply You are right but not absolute right. How about Lyudmila Putina, Jenny von Westphalen and Linda Lee Cadwell? They are famous just by their husband. I know the rule is important, because who need to know Jordan's wife named Yvette Prieto? But I think Zuckerberg's wife is famous from the newses. That is why I get here to discusses it from Asia outside the U.S. Zero00072 (talk) 15:05, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support - I've created Priscilla Chan (philanthropist). With the recent announcement of Chan and Zuckerberg's huge charitable foundation, she's now definitely notable in her own right as a philanthropist, and better known than the singer. -Zanhe (talk) 19:57, 2 December 2015 (UTC)
• Comment I mentioned this move request at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Priscilla Chan (philanthropist). 210.6.254.106 (talk) 04:04, 4 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support having 'Priscilla Chan' as disambiguation page, as both names are relatively well known. Peco Wikau (talk) 21:47, 9 December 2015 (UTC).
• Support now that Priscilla Chan (philanthropist) exists. Gap9551 (talk) 21:54, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support - I have known the Hong Kong singer all my life, and I bought one of her albums (actually, a rerelease). Sad to say, she no longer surpasses the other Priscilla Chan mainly due to Westerners' perception of the HK culture and sole attention to Mark and his wife and Facebook. Still, both are equally prominent. --George Ho (talk) 04:32, 10 December 2015 (UTC)
• Support. The wife of Mark Z is notable per WP:GNG (as overwhelmingly confirmed at the recent AfD), and also at least as notable as the singer. Disambiguate is best.  — Amakuru (talk) 21:59, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

awful content

seriously? we are going to add content related to her being upset about the death of her cat? Spacecowboy420 (talk) 12:09, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Recent title change

Szqecs, may you please change the title back to Priscilla Chan (singer) and then start the RM on this please? The change needs discussion. Thanks. --George Ho (talk) 17:56, 2 August 2017 (UTC)

No one is objecting. If you are, state you reasoning first. Szqecs (talk) 01:58, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

@Szqecs: As I said, it's contentious. It is not that I'm objecting. Some others are, like ones from Talk:Jasper Tsang, Talk:Anthony Wong (Hong Kong actor), Talk:Gary Fan, etc. The naming convention for Hong Kong personalities was discussed. Case-by-case is status quo. In this case, here are the sources:

• "Priscilla Chan" singer: Macau Daily Times, The Straits Times, one book, another book, Lonely Planet travel guide, Billboard, Asiaweek
• Both interchangeably used: SCMP (copied into The Star),

Per WP:PARENDIS, let's use the previous title instead for now. If you wish, try the RM instead. --George Ho (talk) 03:16, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

If case-by-case is the status quo, this particular case is not contentious because no one is objecting. We don't use RM unless it's controversial. Szqecs (talk) 04:16, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Just simply move it back, Szqecs. I'm close to requesting a revert at WP:RM/TR unless you are willing to change it back. --George Ho (talk) 04:20, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Also, almost no one was aware of the changes. Most readers surf to the other Priscilla Chan but probably are unaware of it. --George Ho (talk) 04:24, 3 August 2017 (UTC)

Also, multiple sources, including official and independent ones, use "Priscilla Chan" rather than "Priscilla Chan Wai-han" as pointed out before. --George Ho (talk) 05:01, 3 August 2017 (UTC)
