  • No QPQ needed. Hook is interested, although you really should list the source again here; it's de Crespigny, Rafe (2018). Generals of the South: The Foundation and Early History of the Three Kingdoms State of Wu. This checks out, however. Article seems in decent shape, although might need a round of copyediting; it's presentable, but some of the sentences are phrased a little clunkily.

Wu shu (historical text)Book of Wu – Seems in line with each of our other dynastic history articles. Remsense 19:57, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support, there's no reason to use the Pinyin version of such a simple title when we can easily and uncontroversially translate it. Of the two English sources cited I can only access one, Generals of the South, which does indeed use Wu shu instead of translating it, but this is hardly enough evidence to declare a strong WP:COMMONNAME and override having a comprehensible title for English speakers.

  • Support – WP:Natural disambiguation seems to support using the unambiguous title "Book of Wu" over the ambiguous "Wu shu" with the parenthetical. A quick Google Books search shows that some sources do call this the "Book of Wu". —Mx. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:47, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Support: this page already falls by default into the disambiguation page Wushu, reflecting the ambiguity of Pinyin-romanised terms as article titles. As stated above, WP:NATDIS very aptly applies, as the WP:PARENDIS policy immediately after it explicitly describes parentheticals as a secondary option.

Support: The new name is much more natural, and per WP:Natural disambiguation. --Wengier (talk) 17:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
