Tuina (moth) → Tuina – The redirect at Tuina is to what appears to be a misspelling of Tui na. Better to put the unambiguously correctly-spelt article in that position. 86.** IP (talk) 14:36, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose From https://www.google.com/webhp?ion=1#q=%22tuina%22+chinese+massage&tbm=bks , it appears to be an alternate spelling of "tui na". -- JHunterJ (talk) 18:25, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – but Tuina should become a disambig page. Dicklyon (talk) 18:47, 11 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. See JHunterJ's evidence above. Too easily confused with Tui na – a much more popular topic; and it is very often spelt "tuina", as it is simply a romanisation corresponding to two Chinese characters that function as one "word". See first sentence in that article: "Tui na or tuina[1] (Chinese: 推拏[citation needed] or 推拿; pinyin: tuī ná), is a form of Chinese manipulative therapy ...". (As recently edited by JHunterJ, quite correctly; I have bought books on tuina in China, to bring to someone in Australia. They usually have the form "tuina" in the title.)

Oppose per Dicklyon. Noetica makes a good point, too. $Tony (talk)$ 05:44, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose it is not a mispelling, it is an alternate spelling. It is therefore correctly spelt. 70.24.248.211 (talk) 08:07, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
