His main english name should be changed. I had always wondered about the Barry Chan name, that name rarely appears in credits/promotion material:

Main name should be Wei Tsu-Yun or Wei Tzu-Yun or Wei Tze-Yun or Wei Zi-Yun. In his Shaw Brothers days he was listed with another name, but the Wei name appears in his many Taiwan movies, only a few examples:

Now the only question is which version of his Wei name we should use.

I have reviewed the Chinese language sources and a few do indeed list his "English Name" as Barry Chan.

Since we have enough aliases to cover all of these, I guess I see changing this as somewhat arbitrary. However, I am ok with changing it to the most commonly credited.

We certainly had his date of birth wrong. I have corrected that.

Barry is an interesting guy.

Then I'll change soon the name to Wei Tzu-Yun if no one is against it.
