[edit] Name

It would be more appropriate for the name to be Diaochan. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, it is made clear that "Diaochan" is a personal name based on the two characters diao (marten) and chan (cicada). Since there is no suggestion that Diao is a last name and Chan is a personal name, the two syllables should be merged to make "Diaochan". Yeu Ninje 10:08, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree, but I don't feel as strong. The name also suggests that she's a fictional character, and if she's fictional, then it doesn't really matter one way or the other. --Nlu 10:22, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Why would it make a difference if she's a fictional character? The conventions of naming should still be the same. For example, you weren't equate Oliver Twist with Olivertwist just because he was fictional. Yeu Ninje 11:27, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Yeu Ninje's reasoning makes sense, and I have moved the page to Diaochan. —Lowellian (reply) 08:09, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article quality

Why are most of the ROTK articles this bad? Calling Cao Cao a tyrants seems POV to me, also there was never any mention of Diao Chan falling in love with Lu Bu, that's just speculation. Not to mention that suicide story, if we're going by the novel she was send to the capital. That's a Japanese story that she commited suicide. --195.229.242.52 22:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC) I want to know why none of them mention Kessen II.
