Bai Fan (actor) → Bai Fan – "Bai Fan" currently directs to Kim Koo, for no good reason. Kim Koo is a Korean and his pen name should be romanized as "Baekbeom", "Baek Beom", "Paekpŏm" etc., not "Bai Fan" using the Chinese pinyin system. --Relisted.

• comment "baifan" also redirects to Kim Koo, if this article moves, then that redirect should be retargetted here. -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 23:02, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
  • Support pinyin did not exist when the Korean person was in office, so would not have been used in any way to represent him -- 65.94.43.89 (talk) 23:02, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
• Oppose The Korean independence leader (1876-1949) went by the Chinese name 白凡 Bai Fan, and is referred to as Bai Fan in books. 白凡 also naturally redirects to the Korean independence leader on zh.wp. In ictu oculi (talk) 23:27, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
• Support - Kim Koo is rarely referred to by the Mandarin pinyin romanization of his pen name in English publications. The Chinese actor is for sure the primary topic. -Zanhe (talk) 08:28, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
