Kim Yoon-ah → Kim Yuna (singer) – Proposing changing romanization from "Yoon-ah" to "Yuna" to meet WP:NCKO-NAME guidelines.

Subject's name seems to be most commonly romanized in English-language sources as "Yuna", not "Yoon-ah".

Examples: The Korea Times, Korea JoongAng Daily, Yonhap News Agency, The Korea Herald, Elle Magazine, Kyunghyang Shinmun.

In the event of lack of consensus in reliable sources (both romanization spellings have been used in the past), WP:NCKO-NAME says to defer to the subject's personal preference. It appears that "Yuna" is the subject's personal preference for romanization as it is what she uses in her official social media profiles, Spotify Artist page, and is the name all her solo music is credited under (and how it is written on any album covers where a romanized version of the name is presented).

Adding disambiguation to disambiguate from Yuna Kim, who is the primary topic. RachelTensions (talk) 03:39, 12 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support I think WP:COMMONNAME evidence could be a little stronger, but the fact that personal pref also matches that makes the move safer. Disambig is appropriate. seefooddiet (talk) 01:08, 14 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'd have shared more, but there really aren't that many English-language sources that cover her in general under either romanization (especially ones that aren't machine translated), and sources like Korea JoongAng Daily and The Korea Times spell it "Yoo-na" here and here, respectively, but then turn around and spell it "Yuna" here and here, which is why it'd be best to defer to what the subject's personal preference is in this case.
