The result of the move request was: Not moved. (non-admin closure) Natg 19 (talk) 23:17, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
- Liberal Unification Party → Liberty Unification Party
- Liberty Unification Party → Liberty Unification Party (2020)
- Liberal Party (South Korea) → Liberty Party (South Korea)
- United Liberal Democrats → Liberty Democratic Union
– "Liberal" and "Liberty" have the same translation in Korean. Since the Democratic parties are the liberal parties, Liberty Korea Party, Dawn of Liberty Party and the ko:자유당 (대한민국, 2020년) (translated as "Liberty Party" on articles) use Liberty. So I would propose it to use it for any conservative party using that word. Braganza (talk) 15:18, 12 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 17:41, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

- Note: I have removed "Democratic Liberal Party (South Korea) → Democratic Liberty Party" from the request, as the page proposed to be moved is just a redirect. Redirects are not moved except for technical reasons that don't apply here. Instead, a new redirect may be created at Democratic Liberty Party. SilverLocust 💬 23:19, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Braganza: It seems that the Liberal Unification Party is called Liberty Unification Party (which will need as disambig, as there was another party in SK with the same name), as Namuwiki has its English name like this. The others parties, which were created before Saenuri renamed itself Liberty Korea, will nee to be looked into, as a now-banned user proclaimed that the Korean word is used interchangeably between liberal and liberty, which would make sense as no liberal party uses "Liberal" as a party name.

- the difference between liberal and libertarian only exists in romance languages
- I don't even know what the German translations would be, "freie" (free) or "freiheitlich" (freedomite)? Braganza (talk) 15:30, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hmm... best to look for references to what such parties are called in English. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 17:46, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

- Oppose. If I'm understanding this correctly, this proposal seems to be about trying to make the party names more 'sensible' to international readers: these parties are all on the right wing, but "liberal" means mean left-of-centre in some countries, so some readers will get the wrong impression that these parties are on the left when they are not. But this is the wrong approach. For one, "liberal" has a wealth of meanings and is also used by plenty of right-wing parties, even in the English-speaking world (eg: Liberal Party of Australia), so this idea is very Americentric. Two, it's not Wikipedia's place to come up with names and terminology for the reader's benefit, we follow what the sources use. I see that the United Liberal Democrats have an (archived) website in English that uses "United Liberal Democrats". If the balance of reliable sources use "Liberty", then by all means, let's use those; but we shouldn't invent that translation if it doesn't exist. That's going to make this more confusing, not less. — Kawnhr (talk) 14:55, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Kawnhr: I, too, have questions over renaming the pages, bar Liberal Unification parties, which are actually called Liberty, rather than Liberal. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:06, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Those pages are probably fine under "Liberty" (the 2020 party clearly used it, though I don't see anything for the current party on its page), but they pose a bit of a problem when it comes to disambiguation… Because if the articles are anything to go by, the 2020 party actually had the name first, and the current party known by as LUP was established under a different name and only adopted the "Liberty Unification" moniker two years ago… — Kawnhr (talk) 16:28, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Probably better to rename the one that renamed itself to LUP as "Liberty Unification Party (2022)", as it renamed itself in that year to the current name. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 16:43, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
