Requested move 2 February 2025
Park Jun Yong → Park Jun-yong – this is the standard for Korean names, especially for MMA fighters. Want to make it consistent. This page was originally the anglicized version of "Jun Yong Park" but was changed abruptly. Currently, Park Jun-yong is a redirect page. Thanks in advance.
Should I just copy the coding from Park Jun Yong to the Park Jun-yong redirect. I do not know how to move an article when one already exists under a redirect. Marty2Hotty (talk) 14:09, 4 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
No you should wait for this move discussion to conclude. The move closer will handle it.
But someone randomly changed the name from Jun Yong Park to Park Jun Yong without going through this. I thought it was fine with the anglacized version Marty2Hotty (talk) 18:32, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Hyphenation is not necessarily the standard for Korean names. Instead, WP:KOREANNAME requires three steps to determine the Latin spelling of a Korean name. None of these steps are addressed here.Tkd1996 (talk) 08:06, 5 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see what you are getting at. However, consistency on Wikipedia is not the standard for determining the proper romanization of a name of Wikipedia per WP:KOREANNAME. The first step is determining if the spelling and name for that person is used by a "a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources" per WP:COMMONNAME. Wikipedia is not considered a reliable source as it is user-generated (see WP:USERG, WP:CIRCULAR). Tkd1996 (talk) 21:38, 9 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Marty2Hotty, to build on my above comment, I did some research because I was curious and it definitely appears "Park Jun-yong" is not the common name. Of the English language sources I reviewed, "Jun Yong Park" is used the most by 16 sources while "Junyong Park" is used by 4 sources, "Park Jun-yong" is used by 3 sources, and "Park Jun Yong" is used by 1 source. These sources also suggest that if this article title is changed, it should be changed to "Jun Yong Park" as that appears to be the name most widely used in English language sources. Sources summarized below:
Just please be patient; it looks likely that "Jun Yong Park" will pass. When a relisting happens it takes around a week before it's closed again. seefooddiet (talk) 04:13, 19 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
