[edit] Spelling of His Name
- The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was no consensus to move the page from Pridi Phanomyong to "Pridi Banomyong" at this time, per the discussion below, although new evidence could be used to show that the page should be moved. Dekimasuよ! 12:34, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
The correct spelling of his name should follow the official spelling given by many of the institutions that adopted his name in his commemoration, or that recognized him on different occasions. The conclusion is that his last name should be spelled as Banomyong. Below is a short list of such institutions:
- Pridi Banomyong Library of Thammasat University of which he was the founding father
- UNESCO official website in which Pridi Phanomyong's name was included in the calendar of Anniversaries of Great Personalities and Historic Events Calendar
- Pridi Banomyong Institute + Pridi Banomyong Foundation
Therefore, I urge that the spelling of his last name, here and in other related links, be changed in accordance with the above traditions.

- Oppose for now. Needs to be based on how he is best known in English. I'll listen to any arguments along that line. Gene Nygaard 16:24, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
