This opinion is supported by Hung Wei-yuan, a professor of Chinese at Yuan-Ze University, who notes that Wade-Giles is used by many libraries overseas. "Wade-Giles has a long tradition behind it. Why should we just throw it all out?"
元智大學中國語文學系副教授洪惟仁也持相同意見，他表示，威翟式拼音在台灣廣泛使用，國外很多圖書館也使用這套系統，「這套系統有文化傳承的意義，為什麼要被腰斬？」
