Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived 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: Sinyang County moved (per primary [or possibly only] topic) by the nominator. Ongjin County not moved because there are two. DrKiernan (talk) 20:20, 29 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]


– Each page is the primary topic. The generic class ", South Pyongan" is not needed. --Relisted Tyrol5 [Talk] 04:36, 11 January 2013 (UTC) Relisted. —Darkwind (talk) 05:52, 3 January 2013 (UTC) Sawol (talk) 19:14, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you want to construct the disambiguation pages Sinyang, Ongjin? Sinyang-eup is also in Sinyang, South Pyongan. Sinyang Beach is in Sinyang-ri, Chujado (Chuja-myeon), Goseong-ri, Seongsan-eup, Seogwipo, Jeju Province. Sinyang-ri are 12 in South Korea. Indeed what is the primary? It is needed to talk about that all counties in North Korea move to "~ County". Not using follows Wikipedia:Naming conventions (Korean). Sawol (talk) 12:29, 2 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
China, Japan, and Vietnam use "Foo District", while South Korea uses "Foo County". The NK counties are /군/gun, the same nomenclature as South Korea and Japan. It is common for an Asian county to have the same name as the county seat. The English-language convention is that the plain name refers to the town, which is why the counties get pre-disambiguated.

Now it is the talk about using generic class ", South Pyongan" or not using. If you want to talk about that all counties in North Korea move to "~ County", please open a new at a talk page like Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Korean). Before Korea was divided, /군/gun of Korea is the same. At 1952 North Korea was divided a gun to the several small gun. Nobody knows that gun of North Korea is a county, or a town actually. North Korea government has not announced anything for that. gun of South Korea is different from gun of North Korea, although they have the same name /군/gun.

I would think KCNA would know. They give Sinyang County and Ongjin County. There is also an Ongjin County in South Korea. But as Ongjin in North Korea is the site of the first battle of the Korean War, we can justify making it primary. Kauffner (talk) 08:44, 4 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
