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

 * 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)


 * 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. Benjitheijneb (talk) 22:45, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Support: The new name is much more natural, and per WP:Natural disambiguation. --Wengier (talk) 17:40, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
