The Monkey Series (Books)
I have created a draft article about the Monkey Series (Books), but I do not have a huge amount of detail for the series (other than owning almost the complete set now). I was debating submitting the draft article for publication anyway, but I now think it might make more sense to simply merge the contents of that article as a sub-sub-section under Influences: Manga and animation on this page if no-one objects.

Sun Wukong → Monkey King – It would appear that "Monkey King" is now the far more WP:COMMONNAME in English sources, looking at a Google Books search (9,790 for "Sun Wukong" vs. 78,000 for "Monkey King"; and the vast majority of the latter hits do intend this character). There's also a Use English issue as well as the fact that the character is well known in many other countries, like Japan and Korea, where he is known by local names rather than the Mandarin "Sun Wukong".

- On another note, the Anthony C. Yu translation of The Journey to the West, published by the University of Chicago and considered the best modern English translation, uses "Monkey King".--Cúchullain t/c 15:12, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
- Support; in addition to being more recognizable by English speakers, the new title also avoids the issue with different transliterations from different Chinese dialects. feminist (talk) 15:48, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Sun Wukong in Monkie Kid
Alr so the reason im here is that: In the section Television, comics and action, should we mention that he's a character in Lego Monkie Kid? RebelUltra (talk) 22:54, 27 November 2022 (UTC)
mentions a serial killer in the article
Can someone correct the article? Just under the varied names he goes by someone has edited the name a John Wayne Gacy into the article. 69.14.154.42 (talk) 18:41, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Done – Thanks! Favonian (talk) 18:45, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
Monkey King fictionality
Does monkey King really count as fictional when he's worshipped? IndianEmperor7 (talk) 05:04, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- I think a better description would be "literary and religious figure." Ghostexorcist (talk) 02:28, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
