This article indeed needs a lot of work. Due to political situation, there are few sources taking perspective of the Mongols on him. Among them, Jagchid Sechin's 我所知道的徳王和當時的内蒙古 is an excellent but incomplete work. The last Mongol prince : the life and times of Demchugdongrob, 1902-1966 by Jagchid Sechin would be a nice English source although I have not read it yet. --Nanshu 02:56 28 Jun 2003 (UTC)

Names

I have made some technical changes in the names section: I always assumed that Demchugdongrub was some transcription from Mongolian, not (directly) from Tibetan. For brevity, I also deleted transcriptions of transcriptions -they look basically similar to what is already there. Teh wang is probably the most common name in English, so it of course remained. The translation of the first character of the Chinese transcription of his name, 德, in this context seemed entirely irrelevant, about as useful translating the "Mao" in "Chairman Mao". De Noyon looks more like a generic form of adress (Mr. De, not really sure here, though, but it was unsourced anyway). I also deleted another form of adress (德王爺) that was not sourced.
