Kunkush → Cuncush – The official name in maps and literature is Cuncush. Frank R 1981 (talk) 02:37, 27 December 2016 (UTC) --Relisting. JudgeRM (talk to me) 03:06, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

• "Official name" is typically a controversial reason for a move. Why was it spelled as it is? What is more common? Dicklyon (talk) 02:51, 27 December 2016 (UTC)
• @Frank R 1981 and Dicklyon: And ref. many other past requested moves of place names from Quechua spelling to Spanish spelling. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:05, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

I am not familiar with previous considerations and decisions about Quechua versus Spanish spellings. If someone could add some pointers here about that, it would help me and others decide whether to support or oppose this proposed move. Dicklyon (talk) 15:11, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

• Oppose until/unless someone explains. Dicklyon (talk) 07:41, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

• Official names come from maps and literature, see policy on article naming Wikipedia:Article titles and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Mountains#Naming_conventions. The sources are listed in the references section. The Peru 1:100 000 IGN map comes from the National Institute of Geography (Peru).Frank R 1981 (talk) 22:40, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
