  • Talk:Yeshey Tsogyel - Yeshey TsogyelYeshe Tsogyal I have never seen her name spelled "Yeshey Tsogyel". A search on Google.com even suggests the proper spelling: "Yeshe Tsogyal". Also note that Google returns 22K hits for "Yeshe Tsogyal" and only 247 hits for "Yeshey Tsogyel". I'll be happy to provide more rationale if needed. "Yeshey Tsogyel" should obviously be redirected to "Yeshe Tsogyal". Csbodine 13:51, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Also note that on the "What Links Here", there are 5 articles that link only to Yeshe Tsogyal, 2 that link to both, and 2 that link only to Yeshey Tsogyel. Csbodine 15:21, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
Have you tried "Chogyal"? Gryffindor 19:39, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
I guess I'm not clear on the relevance of "Chogyal". A Google search on "Yeshe Chogyal" yeilds 4 unique results.

The only source we have so far spelled it Yeshey. Hyacinth 11:51, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

I'm leaving for vacation in a few hours. When I get home next week, I'll provide a list of sources which have the alternate spelling. A few notable books are:

Changchub, G. and Nyingpo N. Lady of the Lotus Born Shambhala Publications, 1995 ISBN 1-57062-384-8
Padmasambhava. Dakini Teachings Rangjung Yeshe publications, 1999 ISBN 9627341363
Tsogyal, Yeshe. The Life and Liberation of Padmasambhava Dharma Publishing, 1978 ISBN 0913546186

I can also point to the common spellings of names such as Lama Thubten Yeshe, Rangjung Yeshe, and Lama Yeshe Losal Rinpoche -- Csbodine 13:33, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. I moved it to the suggested name, based largely on the google evidence. If one can come up with a better argument for something else, we can of course revisit it later. Dragons flight 04:40, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
