Seon (Korean name) → Sun (Korean name) – Proposing moving to "Sun (Korean name)" per the wording in the article itself stating that "Sun" is the more common romanization of the surname:

"In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, it was found that 60.7% of people with this surname spelled it in Latin letters as Sun in their passports, while another 39.2% spelled it as Seon.^[1]"

For the syllable in a given name, Wikipedia has 10 name articles that romanize the syllable as "Sun" in their article titles, and 4 name articles that romanize it as "Seon".

• Oppose per WP:PRECISE: titles should unambiguously define the topical scope of the article. The current title distinguishes exactly which Korean surname is the topic of this article, while the proposed title would be ambiguous with the unrelated surname 순. 59.149.117.119 (talk) 07:16, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
