Request for comment: Shall the current name of this article be changed to a dual name?
(rfc template goes here)
The name/title "Senkaku Islands" currently used for this article and its related articles has been disputed for quite a long time even after the previous RfC. According to great and increasing numbers of reliable sources published in English lanuage, for the name of the islands, "Senkaku" is Romanized Japanese name and "Diaoyu" is Romanized Chinese name (or described like "called Diaoyu in China and Senkaku in Japan"), and "Pinnacle Islands" is the name from English language but less used in the moden time.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Many reliable sources in English language directly use a dual form "Diaoyu/Senkaku" or "Senkaku/Diaoyu" making the two local names equally together and brief, and to keep these sources independent neutral stands for this ownership disputed islands [8][10][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. According to Wikipedia:Five pillars particular WP:NPOV and WP:NOR, and other relevant policies, and the reliable sources listed but not limited the above, this RfC is requesting for comments to get consensus on changing the current single local name into a dual local name.

Step II: Which dual name should be used?
There are two forms of dual (or hybrid) name: "Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands" and "Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands". Both of them are from and supported by reliable sources. The result of this part will be decided by simple straw polls or votes. Make your option under the respective dual name provided, and give a simple reason if you like to input but better nothing related to the territory dispute in the real world.
Using "Diaoyu/Senkaku Islands"
