The result of the move request was: moved. Participants agreed that, per WP:NCKO#Temples, the Korean name should be used because the temple doesn't have an established English name. (closed by non-admin page mover) ModernDayTrilobite (talkcontribs) 21:20, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply


Dragon Pool TempleYonghwasa – Doesn't appear to be the WP:COMMONNAME, and doesn't abide by WP:NCKO's guidance on temples. Google "dragon pool temple" and "jeju" in quotes using direct matching; no results. The new name I'm proposing is just the transliteration of the Korean name. This name is anecdotally used on this page [1] in the Encyclopedia of Korean Local Culture. I can't access the book being referenced, but even if it does use this name, I'm skeptical that that single book can dictate the common name. Probably safer to default to WP:NCKO. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 01:58, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support I wasn’t able to find much English info on it from a quick glance, but it seems so obscure it’s probably better to default to the Korean title Dantus21 (talk) 11:39, 5 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
