Chen Chiu-Yen http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng
Chen Hsiang-Lan http://hkmdb.com/db/people/view.mhtml?i ... ay_set=eng

If you want to merge actors that has entries in HKMDB, please find actual proof from the movies that has entries in HKMDB, i.e - screencaps, images from the movies they are listed for. This is usually not that difficult.

Hsiao Yen and Chen Chiu-Yen according to the images are obviously different people.
?? might be a nickname, a personal name or a diminutive form of the name that has ?. So basically there could be hundreds of girls named ??, that has completely different full names.

Wikipedia is not a movie database, the people who do the entries usually don't care about very details.
We are movie database. We have to check every detail.
There are many nuances in Chinese names, and also many chances of different people has the same name. Please, don't do blind merges.
