Article name : Re gan mian or Reganmian

Re gan mian is the common name for this in English references. Why would someone repeatedly move this article to Reganmian? jmcw (talk) 20:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Repeatedly? I count one move. Googlebooks hits has more hits for "reganmian" than "re gan mian", the latter having self-pub books. Ultimately, the English is derived from pinyin, which is spaced by concept and not by syllable. --Cold Season (talk) 20:42, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for joining a discussion. We appear to have different Google skills: "reganmian" noodles [1] produces 3k results - "re gan mian" noodles [2] produces 27k results. jmcw (talk) 09:00, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

You have not responded: may I assume that I may return this article to its common name? jmcw (talk) 12:54, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

No different skill, I used google books, while you used google search with a different search term. This is on the common name. Google search give more for "reganmian" than "re gan mian", notwithstanding that this article lied on the latter name since '04, which does affect, and is not attested by hits of books as common, whatever possible extra word may be added. Just clicking few [3][4][5][6]. --Cold Season (talk) 16:09, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

The links you provide seem to show that 'reganmian' produces many things that are not noodle dishes. Shall we not use the name ('re gan mian') that produces hits of noodle dishes? jmcw (talk) 22:44, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

There's no convincing you. Very well... I don't agree, but I won't object. Cheers, Cold Season (talk) 01:39, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. As suggested in Wikipedia:Manual of Style (China-related articles)#Culture, I will rename it. jmcw (talk) 09:35, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I find that the MOS guideline applies to "reganmian" by higher reliable sources and common-ness. So, I just want to note that the previous statement is not the ending consesus of this 1-on-1 discussion for the renamning; the only thing that I had indicated is that I won't object. --Cold Season (talk) 17:22, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

Reganmian → Re gan mian – On June 3, User:Cold Season moved the article 'Re gan mian' to 'Reganmian' [7] and added a redirect to the new name. After discussion above (Article name : Re gan mian or Reganmian), we have agreed that it should be returned to the original name. Due to the redirect, we need technical assistance. jmcw (talk) 09:54, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

• Comment I see no agreement, where is this agreement? 70.49.127.65 (talk) 04:03, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
• Comment shouldn't it be Regan mian ? (usually noodles is separated from the other part of the term in Chinese restaurant menus I've looked at, for most noodles) 70.49.127.65 (talk) 04:03, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

If you could supply a reference, it would be a help. jmcw (talk) 07:38, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

• Move to hot dry noodles the name found in Goldstein 2006, Shaw 2007, Mooney 2007, Frommers 2012, Nesbit 2008, Ouyang Yu 2010. This is the normal English way of describing the food, even on the translated side of the menu in Wuhan. Technically re ganmian is probably the correct division of the pinyin, but who would know when pinyin isn't used. The current title doesn't work. I eat the stuff and I was looking at the RM list thinking, "what the hell is Reganmian or Re gan mian"? :) Contemporary Chinese Women Writers III Li Chi - 1993 doesn't even have the pinyin "When soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame paste, monosodium glutamate, pepper and a little chopped onion were added, you had a bowl of so-called hot "dry" noodles, a Wuhan speciality. Yin Jiahou had eaten them for breakfast ever since he was little." In ictu oculi (talk) 11:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Or Wuhan hot dry noodles, btw ganmian is occuring in Google books on its own. In ictu oculi (talk) 11:32, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I agree. hot dry noodles backed by several references makes sense. Reganmian and Re gan mian and Regan mian could redirect to hot dry noodles. ColdSeason, 70.49.127.65, is this acceptable? jmcw (talk) 12:18, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes, this is acceptable to me. 70.49.127.65 (talk) 03:50, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Acceptable. --Cold Season (talk) 23:13, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

What are the noodles themselves?

What are the basic noodles? Normal egg noodles, or eggless noodles, or a special recipe? Thin, thick, flat, or any shape and size? Long, short? Pol098 (talk) 11:03, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
