Wuzhi Shan → Wuzhi Mountain —, proposed by TrueColour at 01:05, 23 November 2009 (UTC) --Pengyanan (talk) 01:31, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

The recent move from Wuzhi Shan to Mount Wuzhi should be fixed. It should be Wuzhi Mountain.

Survey

• speedy support. TrueColour (talk) 01:05, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
• strong support --Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
• Comment This move request has nothing to do with fixing the former move from Wuzhi Shan to Mount Wuzhi. Before that move, Wuzhi Mountain had already had its edit history and could not be moved by ordinary editors. --Pengyanan (talk) 01:33, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
  • fixing meant, that "Mount Wuzhi" is uncommon. TrueColour (talk) 15:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
    • OK, I reverted my move. Mount Wuzhi was moved back to Wuzhi Shan. Happy now? You guys may continue to argue. I will not get involved in this issue anymore, ever. --Pengyanan (talk) 17:51, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
• Support with reservation Wuzhi Mountain and Wuzhi Shan are close in currency in this case, though either is far more current than Mount Wuzhi. I'm interested in the discussion about the possibility of a general guideline at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Chinese); as that might affect cases like this, for the time being I reserve judgement on whether Mountain or Shan is better and should win out eventually. --JWB (talk) 01:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
  • Maybe in doubt WP:UE, i.e. Wuzhi Mountain over Wuzhi Shan. TrueColour (talk) 15:35, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

It actually should be Wuzhi Mountain

I'm not entirely clear why it is now Wuzhi Shan. As this is English Wikipedia, it would be Wuzhi Mountain. But no big deal. As long as it's not Mount Wuzhi. (I'm not trying to re-open the discussion, but if anybody wants to make the change, that's fine with me.) --Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:43, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

This is only a revert of the latest moves "to make TrueColour and Anna happy". Well, I am happy if it is Wuzhi Mountain. We just have to wait until an admin moves the page there, no need to re-open discussion. I hope that all articles on places in China profit from the recent adjustments to WP:NC-ZH.

Page move Wuzhi Mountain --> Five Finger Mountain

Well, it's been a few years and its English name is pretty well used now. Objections? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:24, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Wuzhi Mountain → Five Finger Mountain –

• Its most commonly used English name in Hainan, and certainly better than a blend of English and Chinese, which is its current name. No objections after a month at Talk:Wuzhi Mountain#Page move Wuzhi Mountain --> Five Finger Mountain (Five Finger Mountain is currently a redirect to Besh Barmag Mountain, so I will follow up with a hatnote to that article.) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:10, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
• Most incoming links to page Five Finger Mountain are from articles about places in Azerbaijan. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:54, 24 March 2013 (UTC)

• Comment: There needs to be conclusive evidence from reputable sources (NYT, WSJ, Financial Times, Economist, etc) in the West; I however take Anna's word regarding usage in Hainan. Otherwise this could set a dangerous precedent to forgo the implied spirit of WP:NC-ZH, which is only to translate types of places such as District, County, TWP, River, Mount(ain), Lake, etc. GotR ^Talk 00:01, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

• Comment I've WP:BOLDly disambiguated Five Finger Mountain to the four Five Fingers on Wikipedia. If this is renamed, then I suggest moving the disambiguation page to Five Finger Mountain (disambiguation), and the associated Five Finger Mountain legends -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 00:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

• Oppose per article sources. Toponyms are not normally translated ad hoc without widespread, long-term English usage. Cf. Changbai Mountains (not "Long White Mountains"), Tian Shan (not "Heavenly Mountains"). This move is particularly ill-advised since "Five Finger Mountain" can refer to Besh Barmag Mountain as well. —  AjaxSmack  23:58, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Fair enough. Sorry to have brought the whole thing up. It was just that conventions call for Mount Wuzhi, which it's never called, and nobody calls it Wuzhi Mountain either. Here, it's only Wuzhi Shan or Five Finger Mountain.

The trouble is, we have an article with a name that isn't used in the real world, and that's sort of a bone in my throat. Anyway, the new dab page Five Finger Mountain will send visitors to the right spot, so no worries. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:19, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
