Ootani Sobyo?

edit

Commons has commons:Category:Ootani Sobyo. Are these the same, or is Higashi Otani part of Ootani Sobyo? I am confused. @そらみみ: Pinging you in case you're able to help. ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:40, 16 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Ytoyoda: Pinging you as well, since you've been helping to categorize images at Wikimedia Commons. Happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:30, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

@Another Believer: I'm not that knowledgeable on the topic, so I'd say go with WP:COMMONNAME, but I don't think there's an established English name. I see "Otani Sobyo", "Otani Mausoleum" and "Otani Sobyo Mausoleum" all used, but there isn't one that's used more than others. The official website uses "Ōtani Mausoleum" and it meets the "use English" guideline, but I find that too easy to confuse with Ōtani Hombyō, which is also a mausoleum of the Otani-ha in Kyoto.
If I had to recommend one name, it'd be Ōtani Sobyō, but like I said, I'm not an expert so don't take my opinion as the final word. Ytoyoda (talk) 16:59, 17 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
