Talk:Namewee

The origin of "Namewee"

When Wee was still studying in a university, there were a lot of western teachers in his university. They asked Wee and his classmates to find themselves a nickname. A lot of students in the class did not have a nickname, so they went back and started to referring to the dictionary and other resources to find an appropriate nickname. Unfortunately, Wee was not able to choose a nickname.

The next day, Wee's teacher asked the class for their nicknames. When his teacher asked him what's his nickname, it's impossible for Wee to tell her "My name is Huang Ming Zhi." Ming Zhi means "Name" as the pronunciation of combet and 名字 is almost the same. Wee is Wee's surname as it is in Hainan language, which means "Yellow (黄)". Therefore, "Name" means (名字), "Wee" means Yellow (黄), that's how he discovered "Namewee".

One day, Wee used "Namewee" to register his YouTube account. Since then, people started to call him "Namewee". (Please rewrite this entire section)

I've moved the whole section here exactly as it was, since it seems redundant considering there's already a mention of the origin of his name in the first paragraph of the article. Also there weren't any sources and the whole text is just badly written. If you want to move it back, please improve it first and if possible source it.

murder case in introduction

Hello @Robertsky,

Thank you for correcting my edit in the intro section (lol I'm not that experienced compared to you), and I was hoping you would elaborate on why we should not include this in introduction.

Thank you CubicCapacityCC (talk) 12:59, 6 November 2025 (UTC)

@CubicCapacityCC per WP:BLPCRIME, we should minimise the mention of the crime when it is not confirmed that the person is the one who committed the act. While he has been remanded by the police, they and most of the media has been careful not to identify him as a murder suspect, but rather as a suspect in connection to the case. In many similar instances, we would only apply the label only when the courts have delivered their verdicts, ie. so-and-so is a murderer, and not so-and-so is a murder suspect, because there is always a chance that the person may not be found guilty of the crime.

As for WP:DUE, he has been in many controversies already. While this might be impactful by far, there is still some uncertainty until at least when the police releases their findings. Also in my opinion, the lead section should be rewritten as it is no longer a summary of the content of the article per WP:LEAD. – robertsky (talk) 13:13, 6 November 2025 (UTC)
