Lake Er → Er Lake — per adjusted WP:NC-ZH, Category:Lakes of China. --TrueColour (talk) 17:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose: Erhai is much more commonly used than any of these supposedly "more English" or more systematic titles made up by wp users. Yaan (talk) 18:53, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
- Oppose this move, and support move to Erhai per Yaan. Wikipedia does not invent usage or promote less common usage - it is not a vehicle for linguistic prescriptivism. We copy what the use of the majority of reliable sources. Knepflerle (talk) 00:24, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
