What is the dispute?
- A move of Eulsa Treaty to Japan-Korea Protectorate Treaty or 1905 Protectorate Treaty was proposed and posted at WP:Requested moves on August 8.
- There was opposition, but without explanation other than some treaties have Japanese names, i.e. Treaty of Shimonoseki.
- The move was re-listed on August 31 with the word "protective" deleted from the proposed article title (Japan-Korea Treaty of 1905).
- Those opposing the move added nothing further despite repeated invitations and opportunity to do so.
- A neutral administrator closed the thread for lack of consensus.
What would you like to change about this?
- On one hand, we do not know what to do.
- Elmor, Phoenix7777, Nihonjoe, Tenmei, Winstonlighter and Valentim affirm by their comments that consensus is achievable.
- Caspian blue, Ryuch, Aocduio and Historiographer oppose without expressing a view about consensus.
- On the other hand, in terms of the graphic pyramid at the right, Tenmei construes mere contradiction as uninformative; and in the absence of refutation or counterargument, mere opposition without any supporting rationale is null.
- Phoenix7777 construes objection without explanation as effectively void or voided.
- Anthony Appleyard construes opposition as proof of the absence of consensus.
How do you think we can help?
The goal of mediation is two-fold: (a) to select a neutral name for this article; and (b) to establish a collaborative process for selecting neutral names for other articles which have not been identified.
