Kim Sul-Song → Kim Sul-song — Wikipedia's naming convention states that Korean given names be hyphenated and the second syllable be lowercase. Currently "Kim Sul-song" redirects to "Kim Sul-Song, and the move must be made by an administrator. Humorahead01 (talk) 21:40, 12 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're correct about the capitalisation, but is this the most common spelling of her name? The sole reference in the article uses Kim Seolsong. PC78 (talk) 21:27, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Not sure about that. Kim Jong-il's family members' names all appear to have been romanized to be more easily pronunciated by English speakers. They do not seem to adhere to any mainstream romanization conventions. The only basis, I think, for going with "Sul-song" is that her well-known grandfather, Kim Il-sung, uses the letter "u" for the vowel "ㅓ", so the pattern should be kept at least within the Kim family. I do wish to note that "Seolsong" or "Seol-song" is romanized based on the Revised Romanization system, which is not used in North Korea -- so this spelling doesn't appear to be an option anyway.

Support - As "Song" should be "song" according to Korean spelling. 81.94.201.89 (talk) 22:42, 22 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Kim Jong-sook[edit]

Kim Jong-sook is listed as Kim Sul-Song's mother, but isn't that her grandmother? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.220.101.45 (talk) 23:45, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
