• Support per WP:NCZH. I also spot-checked a few of the cited sources and they all use the spelling "Ma Hailong". —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 14:01, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
• Support per above, but also create a redirect at Ma Hai-Long, Ma Hai-long, because different sources spell Chinese names differently, and we need to help readers get to the right article. Edit: Good, those redirs exists. But there are various PRC and Taiwan players without such spelling-variant redirects.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:29, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
