I think it's not a good idea to move an article to pinyin with tones, cause no other articles are named this way. And it's harder to find them.

I think it is OK。

During the Mongol rule in the thirteenth century, Shaanxi became a provincial unit. In the ensuing years, wars and famine had decimated and depopulated the province. As a result, large populations of Muslims, or Hui people, emerged, as evident today.

Umm. That “As a result” makes no sense. Decimation and depopulation is neither necessary nor sufficient for conversion to Islam, or indeed to any religion. Changing. 89.62.106.137 21:49, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
