:Tony Ahn → {{no redirect|Tony An}} – Romanization of the subject of this article's surname are split between "Ahn" and "An".

WP:NCKO-NAME states that in the event there is no clear consensus on Romanization amongst English-language reliable sources, to defer to the subject's personal preference.
The subject's personal preference appears to be "An", given that is the name he's chosen to use on his [https://www.instagram.com/tntonyan/?hl=en social media profiles], [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwZo_fkOZ0muEKWG6w8RVzQ official YouTube channel], [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1O2GeusJnwmv9bwKxOgapo?si=eQOa5NsXQzq0A6PELLMPGg Spotify Artist page], etc. It's also how the name is romanized on all of his album covers.
In this case, as there is a split in sources between Ahn/An (even sometimes within the same publication), we should defer to the subject's personal preference, which is "An".
Note this article was previously titled "Tony An" for 15 years from 2005 until 2020, when it was boldly moved undiscussed to its current title. RachelTensions (talk) 20:29, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
