How many were smuggled in?[edit]

How many were smuggled by the time she was arrested? Was it 1000, as the DOJ Press Release claimed when she was sentenced in March 2006, or up to 3000, as maintained in Criminology by Larry Siegel, p. 21?

Likewise, was the top fee $35,000, as claimed by NYT, or $40,000 as per Larry Siegel? Mathglot (talk) 06:51, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sister Ping → Cheng Chui Ping – I see no particular reason to use the nickname as the article title, when her person name is also listed. Nlu (talk) 13:35, 15 April 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. B dash (talk) 04:55, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Question: The reason may be that Sister Ping is more common. Can anyone confirm? MX (✉ • ✎) 15:31, 15 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Both seem to be relatively commonly used in similar quantities -- I lean towards using the real name vs nickname in these cases, but do not feel strongly either way.--Yaksar (let's chat) 01:48, 30 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. We have an article naming policy, and article moves should only take place if a case is made in terms of it. Andrewa (talk) 00:30, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Post RM Discussion[edit]

The principle of preferring a more formal name over a nickname has been discussed previously in many contexts, and rejected. That is no reason not to raise it again if people feel strongly about it, but the discussion above seems quite equivocal. Andrewa (talk) 02:43, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
