Wong San (2) = Wong San (3):
Same chinese characters. Merge :?:

2 of Leung Chi Keung:
Numbering :?:

3 of Ng Yuen Yee:
Numbering :?:
I think one of them with a single credit in 1986 is the same person with the other one with credits from 1974 to 2004. Only a slight different in their middle name.

2 of Cheung Pui Sze:
Same chinese characters. Merge :?:

WILLIAMWAN, probably better to split into separate topics. Each one will have to be researched separately and it will get confusing to mix them together in a single topic. My .02.

Also, it'd be helpful if possible to list their Chinese names. It'll cut down the number of windows that's required to be opened while researching online (for me anyway).

I think they are different actors. All the three names can be easily found in the Net as film actors. In fact, I think some of the films credited here of the (1) are actually from the (3)... That is, is the same person (as you say) but their symbols are not correct. :? For the moment, I numbered them (ONLY the english translation).

Maybe Mr.Dleddlee has something to say here.

I think you are right, here, too. And I would also add her christian name "Purcy Cheung" as alias, too...

If in 15 days nobody objects, I promise you that I will do it.

Hi Dleedlee,

Your comment on separate topic is agreed and will be followed.

I came across these similar names when i try to match the chinese characters of the casts with the name in DB for editing purpose. As such I will come across many of this numbering and same name issues.
Sometimes, i feel bad about highlighting so often such issues and create so much works for DB editors.
I hope I am not being a nuisance to all. Please let me know if i am. :D

Thanks Dleedlee. Thanks Carlos. Thanks Chinchan chung. :lol:
