- Gŭ (surname 古) (currently a redirect to Gǔ (surname 古)) → Gǔ (surname 古) (restricted by the titleblacklist, which page movers can override) (move · discuss) – As described in Pinyin, the diacritic should be a caron (ˇ) and not the similar-looking breve (˘). Adumbrativus (talk) 20:41, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
- No objection, but I would suggest moving to "Gǔ (surname)" over "Gǔ (surname 古)"; the inclusion of the Chinese character "古" is not required for disambiguation, and I would suspect that it violates WP:UE. BilledMammal (talk) 01:10, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- These is a need for the additional disambiguation, because Gǔ (surname) is a page about a different surname. Adumbrativus (talk) 03:04, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Then I would think per WP:UE we should disambiguate it in English, such as Gǔ (surname, "old") and Gǔ (surname, "valley") - though I suspect there are cleaner ways to do so. BilledMammal (talk) 03:06, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- There's a million Li's in the Fire Nation. I see no reason to depart from precedent. The curious reader will likely not search by the surname's literal meaning. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:16, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- I would think that WP:UE would be sufficient reason to depart from precedent - and to alter those titles to meet WP:UE. BilledMammal (talk) 04:23, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
- Be my guest, but who is going to find the correct Li by searching...
Li (surname, "reason")
? Or who would look atLi (surname, "plum")
and understand it to be the second-most common Chinese surname? Sometimes, the principle of least surprise reigns supreme. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:27, 23 October 2021 (UTC)- The same questions could be asked of Li (surname 李). I'll see if someone has a cleaner disambiguation proposal, and if no one does make the proposal as currently planned. BilledMammal (talk) 04:30, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
