Talk:List of constituencies of the National Assembly of South Korea

Changing the names of constituencies in this article
While creating pages for South Korean National Assembly constituencies, it has come to my attention that the names of the constituencies listed here differ from those listed on List of members of the National Assembly (South Korea), 2020–2024.

For example, the constituency of Nowon C is listed on this article as "Nowon III" and Gyeyang B is listed as "Gyeyang District Second". However, there seems to be no reliable sources that refer to these constituencies by the name they are listed in this article.

There are instances of the names used in List of members of the National Assembly (South Korea), 2020–2024 being used by mainstream media outlets in South Korea.

https://www.donga.com/en/article/all/20130325/405925/1 "The main opposition Democratic United Party on Monday said it will not field a candidate in the April 24 by-elections for Seoul's Nowon C district" https://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/2013/03/25/politics/DUP-wont-run-against-Ahn-in-Nowon-C-District/2969143.html "The opposition Democratic United Party said they will not nominate a candidate for the Nowon C District, an apparent move to embrace independent candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, who has declared his bid for the constituency." No media outlets appear to be using the "Nowon III" naming as suggested in this article. The story is the same with the Gyeyang B example, the articles linked below refer to the constituency as "Gyeyang B" or a variation of "Gyeyang B". No results for "Gyeyang District Second" as suggested in this article.

I strongly believe this creates a strong case for arguing the current names of the constituency in this article as there are no reliable sources or media outlets referring them by the names in this article. Therefore, I propose we change the names of the constituencies in this article to match those in List of members of the National Assembly (South Korea), 2020–2024 since the current state of the article appears to be a violation of WP:NOR
