Talk:Kim Yu-sin

About his motivation to unify and final year's regret
Could you point the reference which say why he wanted to unify the coutries and he regreted for the expenses? --Ryuch 11:13, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * Good question. Those statements were put in by the article's creator, User:Sjc196.  I recently bought a Hangeulpan of the Samguk Sagi, so I should be able to answer that question.  Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to read all three chapters on Kim Yu-shin at the moment. :-)  The good old Naver encyclopedia says that he prayed for unification upon joining the Hwarang.    His early interest in unification is also supported by the tale in the Samguk Yusa about the Goguryeo emissary coming to kill him.
 * Also scanning through the Samguk Sagi, we see in Yeoljeon vol. 2 (&#44608;&#50976;&#49888;&#51473;) where he mentions the wretched suffering of the common people, despite which Baekje must be punished.
 * For now I've removed the references to Korean ethnic identity from the article. That seems like a modern concept.  They can be put back in if someone can find a source for them.

 * Sorry for the delayed response, I haven't logged in here for a while. I got the information from various websites (no access to written sources, unfortunately) after painstaking searching in order to write a history of the figures whom the ITF Taekwon-Do patterns are named after - Yoo-Sin is one of the patterns - and I noticed that Wikipedia had no entry for him so I added what I had. I apologise for not being able to name my source, but I am quite happy for Ryuch's revisions to remain.

Title
Since the revised romanization of his name is Kim Yusin, should this article be moved to reflect that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Straitgate (talk • contribs) 05:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Gim Yu-sin → Kim Yu-sin – Move to Kim Yu-sin per WP:NCKO and WP:COMMONNAME. This article was moved from Kim Yu-sin to Gim Yu-sin on July 22, 2022 last year on the basis that Revised Romanization sources use Gim Yu-sin instead of Kim Yu-sin. However, I have found zero sources that use variant spelling of Gim Yu-sin. Most sources I have found that use Revised Romanization all translate his surname as Kim not Gim. Here are four examples: - ⁂CountHacker (talk) 22:03, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
 * A History of Korea by Kyung Moon Hwang
 * "The Historical Drama Queen Seondeok : Imaginary Memory of an Ancient Heroine" by Sohn Byung Woo

The official monument to Gim Yu-Sin has the Revised Romanization spelling for English speakers. As for other histories of Korea, I was able to find History books that did, indeed, have the Revised Romaninzation of Gim Yu-Shin.

 * Comment. Wikipedia articles are not regulated by the South Korean Ministry of Education. If you look at various other South Korean government sites, both local and federal, you will see that they do not use the spelling "Gim Yu-sin". On the Korea Tourism Organization website, we have the "Gyeongju Tomb of Kim Yu-sin". On the Cultural Heritage Administration website, we can see it refers to General Kim as Kim Yu-sin when discussing the Dano festival of Gangneung.  As for the shrine of Kim Yu-sin, I am not sure which monument that you are referring to. If you are referring to the one in Yongsan in Seoul, the only photos the signs at his shrine refer to the "The Shrine of General Kim Yu-sin".  This photo is from this website.  If you actually read The History of Korea (Greenwood Histories of the Modern Nations) Second Edition by Kim, Djun Kil, you would realize that it uses the term "Kim Yu-sin" not "Gim Yu-sin".  You can see that Djun Kil Kim uses that phrase in pgs 45-48. The fact is that in most English language sources using Revised Romanization the surname 김 is translated as Kim not Gim, just like how the surname 이 is translated as Yi not I. There is not a single source in the article that uses the term "Gim Yu-sin", and the only RR source is the English-language website for the local government of Jincheon County about the Gilsangsa Shrine. It also prefers to the general as "Kim Yu-sin".   ⁂CountHacker (talk) 03:41, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The only way to use to use Kim-yu-Shin according to Wikipedia naming conventions:Korean for pre 1945 Korean individuals is to show that this person is more commonly known by "Kim" instead of "Gim" Indeed, it is correct to say that Wikipedia does not follow the official South-Korean government guidelines but the reason for pointing this out was to show that, in fact, there is quite a lot places that show the spelling as Gim yu-Shin. In fact I found a few others as well. Korean History in Maps: From Prehistory to the Twenty-first Century. ISBN:9781107098466. The new history of Korean civilization by Chai-Shin Yu ISBN:9781462055593. As such, I do not find the argument to change the name from Gim Yu-Sin to Kim-Yu-Shin to be particularly compelling, but we shall see if anyone else disagrees.

 * From most of the South Korean government English sources, they prominently use "Kim Yu-sin" as the correct RR translation. Using the National History Thesaurus created by the National Institute of Korean History, it shows the Revised Romanization (shown as RO) is Kim Yu-sin. . I do acknowledge that after inspecting Korean History in Maps: From Prehistory to the Twenty-first Century, it does use "Gim Yu-sin". However, The new history of Korean civilization by Chai-Shin Yu does not use "Gum Yu-sin", rather it uses McCune–Reischauer and spells his name as "Kim Yu-sin". I think the dominance of the spelling "Kim Yu-sin" over "Gim Yu-sin" in English language sources using Revised Romanization is quite clear. So far, 4 academic books, 4 government websites, 1 plaque at a historic site, and 1 academic journal article uses "Kim Yu-sin", whereas only 1 academic book (Korean History in Maps) uses the variant of "Gim Yu-sin". If we include sources using McCune–Reischauer (which is most common romanization used in English language academia for Korean studies), it clearly establishes "Kim Yu-sin" as the WP:COMMONNAME that is used more often by academic journals, newspaper articles, government websites, academic history books, and etc. If you have more sources to prove that the Gim variant is more common, it would be of great help in determining the whether the page should be renamed.  ⁂CountHacker (talk) 06:09, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Support – Gim Yu-sin doesn't even show up on ngrams, and google results give a major advantage to Kim Yu-sin (~11.3k to ~1.6k). Skarmory   (talk •   contribs)  00:23, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
