Correct spelling of name and potential redirect[edit]

Lu Xiaojun, not Lü Xiaojun, is the proper spelling of this person's name in English.

Here are two official, indisputable sources:

http://www.olympic.org/xiaojun-lu

http://www.iwf.net/2012/08/03/lu-xiaojun-chn/

Even Chinese sources spell his name in English as Lu and not Lü.

See the following:

http://english.cntv.cn/20120802/101958.shtml

http://english.peopledaily.com.cn/102774/7895797.html

Because of this, there should not be a redirect to a new page, nor should the spelling of Lu's name be changed.

There is no "proper spelling" in English. Lu and Lü are different names in Chinese. And the misspelling simply arrises from the laziness of the typer. Chinese passports have recently accepted the spelling "Lyu" recently, but Wikipedia should stick to pinyin rules if the person isn't famous under another name.--Explosivo (talk) 16:14, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
