Some WP:CIR issues. I'm still on email with him trying to explain to him how to participate in the AfD. -- King of♥♦♣ ♠ 04:10, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Reason: I just want to delete this article, next time maybe would create a new one. K.b.cheng (talk) 04:14, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Xu (surname) because that article covers this topic. _dk (talk) 16:02, 30 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't redirect to Xu(surname) this article not for redirect, it was stand alone page, next time will create another one. Just want to delete it first. May i know when can delete this Kho(surname) article? Maybe next time i would prepare to use another article title so now was waiting Wikimedia to delete it as fast as possible.

Deadkid dk, your assessment is incorrect. There is a substantive difference between Xǔ （许） and Xú （徐） in Chinese. That the characters in the two pages look completely different should be a dead giveaway (pun intended). Sven ManguardWha? 03:20, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If you scroll down, you'll see that 許 is right beneath 徐. I don't have any misgivings about a new article covering 許 exclusively, but for now this page (Kho) will have to be a redirect. _dk (talk) 11:24, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
True, but my point is that they need to be two separate articles because they are two separate characters. A redirect is a bad option. The content at the Xu (surname) that applies to 许 should be moved over to Kho (surname). Sven ManguardWha? 14:41, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
If it should be moved, it should not be to a non-standard romanization. A similar situation at Li (surname) led to the creation of surname articles like Li (李), Li (黎), Li (利), etc. I suggest we follow that precedent. _dk (talk) 17:53, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - yes there is a very substantive difference between the surnames Xǔ （许） and Xú （徐） in Mandarin Chinese, and Cantonese etc, Korean, Vietnamese. In ictu oculi (talk) 10:06, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete Since it technically failed a G7, given the page history and lack go good options for a redirect; since the primary editor requests deletion, I would support it. Tiggerjay (talk) 04:53, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Xu (surname) per Deadkid dk, because it's clearly redundant as a regional phonetic variation of a standard name. This can be a redirect, but should not be a standalone article. If it's felt that Xǔ (许） and Xú （徐) need to be disambiguated, then create another article. Ohconfucius ping / poke 06:42, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
