What is best article name?

This treaty is also known as the "Treaty of Chemulpo", but this may not be the best choice for the article name in our English-language Wikipedia.

In the current version of the article, a credible source is cited which verifies Treaty of Chemulpo as a good article name -- see Duus, Peter. (1995). The Abacus and the Sword: The Japanese Penetration of Korea, 1895-1910, p. 69., p. 69, at Google Books. In addition, the following Google search data is consistent with the shorthand treaty name mentioned in Duus' book.

Does the name for this article deserves further discussion. Does Japan-Korea Treaty of 1882 (with a redirect from Treaty of Chemulpo) represent a better name for this article in the context of Korean diplomatic history between 1876 and 1910?

The Korean-American Treaty of 1882 was also known as the Treaty of Chelumpo -- see Yŏng-ho Ch'oe et al. (2000). Sources of Korean Tradition, p. 235, p. 235, at Google Books; excerpt, "Korea signed a similar accord with the United States (the Treaty of Chelump'o, 1882) that was followed by similar agreements with other Western nations"; Kim, H.C. (2008). Korean-American Youth Identity and 9/11: an Examination of Korean-American Ethnic Identity in post-9/11 America, p. 7 n9., p. 7, at Google Books; excerpt, "The Korean-American Treaty of 1882 is also knowns as The Treaty of Chemulpo or The Treaty of Amity and Commerce."

Any potential confusion is mitigated by explicitly identifying (a) the parties involved in the treaty and (b) the date it was concluded. --Tenmei (talk) 03:15, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
