Mo (Korean surname)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Merge with Mao (surname): Many Korean surnames are sinitic in nature, and has a corresponding Chinese surname. We can turn those Chinese surname pages to an Asian one, containing all the applicable surnames. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 22:55, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: Why should we make into one article? And it is impossible. Because a Korean surname doesn't contains only one Hanja. Thanks. --Garam (talk) 05:57, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: And you, User:Garam, have cited no sources that attest to the fact that Mo is actually a Korean surname. Kiteinthewind  Leave a message! 06:55, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I add references now. --Garam (talk) 07:19, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep the article has sufficient sources focused specifically on the Korean surname to demonstrate its separate notability regardless of its linguistic origins in another country. Additionally, the merge proposal doesn't work because "Mo" in Korean could correspond either to Chinese Mou (surname) (牟, doesn't even have an article) or Mao (surname). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 02:41, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
