    Dude. “We’ve always done it like that” is your argument? Can you not see how it would be beneficial to try and emphasise that a lot of contributions to science came from non-European scholars?

      Nah, I’m arguing only to keep old and established names only. It makes in my opinion little sense to start referring to the one’s I mentioned as Kong Qiu, de Nostredame, or Koppernigk.

      Feel free to use whatever name you like. Whether you choose to use the romanized or established latinized name is none of anyone’s business.
