– Per WP:COMMONNAME, Regardless of the teams official name, The country is called South Korea, and not just Korea. Also it should be South Korea to match the article on the country of South Korea, I see also most of other Korean national teams pages (like Football, Volleyball, Handball and even Baseball) use South Korea.

 * Korea national field hockey team → South Korea national field hockey team
 * Korea women's national field hockey team → South Korea women's national field hockey team
 * Comment: Where's the evidence that North Korea even has/had a field hockey team (of either gender)? The only link I found was, but according to Field hockey at the 2000 Summer Olympics – Men's tournament, that was actually South Korea. Timmyshin (talk) 23:52, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Even though I think it doesn't change anything about this request but they are a member of FIH and participated once at the Asian Games, source. I can provide other sources if this one is not reliable but I think it's enough. Mohsen1248 (talk) 00:08, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support only for the women's team. Need similar evidence for the men's team. Timmyshin (talk) 01:15, 13 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Oppose – nom's rationale makes no sense. Where is the evidence that adding "South" is the more common way to refer to these teams?  I don't see it in search.  And what has matching the name of the country article got to do with this articles title?  Nothing.  Dicklyon (talk) 04:29, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support name is a descriptive form, and lacking in description as to what Korea it represents. Further "men's" should be added. -- 70.24.244.161 (talk) 07:13, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support naming it just Korea makes it ambigous. South Korea is what the country and its national teams are usually called. I also agree "men's" should preferably be added. Bandy boy (talk) 14:50, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Support both as modified above to add men's to the men's team. These seem clearly the best titles to me, and if the guidelines don't support this (and I'm not convinced there's any problem here) then the guidelines simply need tweaking so that they do.
