Talk:Yun Po-sun

Established English Spelling

since "Yun Poson" is not an established english spelling nor known to be preferred by the subject, it seems this article should be titled Yun Bo-seon, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean). Appleby 22:00, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Done. —Nightstallion (?) ^{Seen this already?} 06:40, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Actually, the "Established English Spelling" would be "Yun Po Sun". see NY Times also in Washington Post 96.224.34.168 (talk) 00:41, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Requested move 3 January 2015

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. I note that the nom doesn't really make a valid case, but I think that might just be language difficulty, user claims only basic English, and the support vote does make a valid case and we have strong consensus to move.

Yun Bo-seon → Yun Posun – It's Official spell of his name, such as Rhee Syngman.

• Support - both forms appear to be used in sources, but I think the proposed name does appear more often and in more reliable looking books[3] than the old name[4]  — Amakuru (talk) 11:56, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

Yun Posun → Yun Po-sun – The hyphenated version is overall more common per this ngrams and is also more in line with WP:NCKO Dantus21 (talk) 22:37, 30 January 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). – robertsky (talk) 22:45, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

• The ngrams seem to run neck and neck for the past 15 years, and the title has been discussed in RM discussions before, so I'd recommend a formal discussion here as it may be a WP:PCM.  — Amakuru (talk) 07:57, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

  Hey Amakuru,

  You're right that the ngrams have been running neck in neck for the past 15 years. I'm sure not everyone will like "Yun Po-sun" (not everyone can like everything). However, the policy at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean) (see the given name subsection under Romanization) states If there is no personal preference and no established English spelling, hyphenate the syllables, with only the first syllable capitalized (e.g., Hong Gil-dong). "Yun Posun" and "Yun Po-sun" are both even, but the policy states that hyphenation should be used if there isn't an absolute common name. I think Wikipedia policy should take priority over people's preferences, but if you still strongly feel this needs a discussion after reading this, I can start one.

  This seems like a WP:PCM to me (especially with Talk:Yun_Posun#Requested_move_3_January_2015), so should have a discussion. I have no opinion on the move itself. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

  I should note that Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean) is a guideline, not a policy. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:16, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

Support move per given reasons. toobigtokale (talk) 09:11, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
