Wufang Shangdi → Five manifestations of Shangdi – Few people will understand the word “Wufang” and how it includes five. Five is conceptually important for this article and should be present and translated in the title Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 11:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC) Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 11:26, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Strong oppose: Chinese graphemes are polysemantic — i.e. they don't have one translation only —, and therefore the title should remain in pinyin. N.b. The article was already hastily moved by the user Immanuelle, and I asked for a restoration of the pinyin title at WP:RMT a few hours ago. Moreover, Immanuelle, you have already been advised multiple times to refrain from this type of editing and hasty translations. Please stop!

@Æo is there any kind of content which is lost by having Five in the title vs Wu? I'd say without any direct evidence of necessarily preserved puns or similar, there's no reason to keep the word Wu in it, and this just makes the article more confusing for people unfamiliar with Chinese. Hakkō ichiu might be a similar situation, but I'd argue the difference is that nobody would be looking for something like "eight cords" to find that article, whereas for this one people will be looking for five deities or five manifestations.

Wufang has significance, but something like five positions of shangdi or gods of the five positions would probably be more informative. Immanuelle ❤️💚💙 (please tag me) 13:18, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
