Removing “Sei; Saya; Sayaka; Kiyoshi” definition in Chinese section?

As of right now, I don't really see a point of putting all these Japanese names in the Chinese section. It might also further lead to confusion that the entire character itself was borrowed from Japanese.

Re: the Japanese name senses, names in Japanese can be hard to confirm, as getting the combination of both spelling and reading in the same text isn't common. I note that Jim Breen's ENAMDICT includes the Sei reading for this spelling as both a surname and female given name in the entry here. google:"清さん" "せいさん" would seem to back up the existence of this as a name, though I haven't gone through to evaluate whether this is a surname or given name. ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 16:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)

Derp! @Justinrleung, sorry that I misunderstood your post. Your RFV is purely about the Chinese entry. ♬ Never mind! ♪ ‑‑ Eiríkr Útlendi │^{Tala við mig} 00:05, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

Well, students of classical Japanese literature should know who Sei Shōnagon is. Sei is not a surname per se but a reference to herfamily name, 清原 (Kiyohara). Any other people with the surname that you know? ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 00:12, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

From the edit history, @沈澄心 added the alleged senses. Wonder why... ～ POKéTalker（═◉═） 00:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)

These senses seem unattested. Delete. --沈澄心✉ 04:15, 24 June 2020 (UTC)
