Please change "The East Asia Super League (Simplified Chinese:东亚超级联赛; Traditional Chinese: 東亞超級聯賽), abbreviated as EASL, is a regional league featuring clubs in East Asia organized by Hong Kong-based Asia League Limited." to include the Korean and Japanese translations: "The East Asia Super League (Simplified Chinese:东亚超级联赛; Traditional Chinese: 東亞超級聯賽; Korean: 동아시아 수퍼리그; Japanese: 東アジアスーパーリーグ), abbreviated as EASL, is a regional league featuring professional basketball clubs from East Asia organized by Hong Kong-based Asia League Limited." 2601:240:CB01:2D90:612D:BB9C:D7DE:CB44 (talk) 17:51, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: I've actually removed the Chinese translations from the lead sentence (but left them in the sidebar). Per MOS:LEADLANG, there should only be one translation in the first sentence unless there's good reason to do otherwise. Four would be far too much. Since the subject is more regional and doesn't look to be directly associated with China (more so than any of the other countries, anyway), the correct thing to do is to remove all translations from the lead and let the article text or Wikidata handle the rest. ‑‑ElHef (Meep?) 21:42, 15 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also the Korean and Japanese translation seem to have no official status, based on the league's website alone.Hariboneagle927 (talk) 17:45, 16 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
