Personal names

I tried to find their personal names, but they all seem to only have royal titles. They're probably like the Jade Emperor, whose name, if even existing, is very very obscure, and worshippers always call them, out of convention and/or respect, their titles. --Menchi 13:59 29 Jun 2003 (UTC)

What is this doing in the main article?

Their origin.

I think we should add some information about the origin of dragon kings. In fact the idea of dragon kings come from Buddhism. The dragon kings are a mixture of Chinese dragons and the naga kings. Can anyone add this to the article?

The dragons king's some kind of mixture between the Chinese dragon and the Indian naga king. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Shinbu3 (talk • contribs) 18:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Dragon King → Longshen – Use of the untranslated Chinese pinyin term. This would be better as "Longshen" (Dragon God) is more general than "Longwang" (Dragon King), in other words "Longshen" includes the Dragon Kings as well as other Dragon Gods. Keep it untranslated as Chinese characters/words cover entire semantic fields and don't have univocal translation in Western languages (i.e. in our case "shen" can be translated as "god", "spirit", "soul", "numen", "intelligence", etc.). – Aethelwolf Emsworth (talk) 07:43, 25 August 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

@Aethelwolf Emsworth and Andy M. Wang: It's unclear whether WP:ENGLISH or WP:PINYIN should apply here. Worthy of a discussion? If there's no other notable "Longshen", there's no need for a parenthesized dab. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 15:07, 25 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, even if this is an imprecise translation, "Dragon King" still appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME.--Prisencolin (talk) 01:56, 27 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Overmyer, the article's main source, uses "Dragon King." (Fourteen index listings are given on page 217.) Let's not play translator. The light bringer (talk) 07:11, 7 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
