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 after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
CommentWP:COMMONNAME is the first consideration; OP has provided no sources for this proposed move. Per WP:NCKO, McCune–Reischauer is used for North Korean names (if there is no established usage in English-language sources.) Per that article: "In personal names, each syllable in a Sino-Korean given name is separated by a space with the first letter of each syllable capitalized."162 etc. (talk) 21:51, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Actually WP:NCKO is frustratingly contradictory. Koreans variously spell two-syllable given names as a joined word or separated by a hyphen or a space, with the second syllable occasionally capitalized. 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). It does not distinguish between North and South Korean standards in this guidance.
I'll also note the mover did not provide evidence of common name either. The assumption of no hyphen in a common name I think won't fly either, given how irregular Korean romanization standards are.
I'm being harsh on this in part to incentivize people to actually move to change the Korean style guidelines. They guidelines are in significant need of nuance or detail, and ignoring the rules entirely while these (understandable) confusions arise I think just makes the problem worse. toobigtokale (talk) 20:30, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This is toobigtokale; to clarify my move req is a move to what I believe is prescribed by the Korean naming conventions. The prev title is not prescribed in my interpretation. 2806:2F0:83C1:FC7E:15B0:9E54:30C4:9522 (talk) 13:13, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
