Moving from "Fiery Cross Reef" to "Fiery Cross Island"?
Now Fiery Cross "Reef" is a de facto artificial island, with an area of over 200 hectares. (See satellite imagery acquired on
Jan 7, 2015 and
Jan 28, 2015. ) Is there any reason that this article should not be renamed?

Is there any reason not to - Yes. Its name is Fiery Cross Reef. (
Swallow Reef is still Swallow Reef.)
If you can provide a reference from a reliable source saying that it has officially been renamed, then fill your boots. But until then, the place's name is still "Fiery Cross Reef".

What do you mean by "officially"? Something from United Nations? A statement from the Chinese government? A statement from the U.S. government?
Swallow Reef is another article I would cast doubt over. Just wondering if Wikipedia has any guidelines regarding reef/island renaming.

Those "before" photos are a different island/reef. They seem to be of
Cuarteron Reef.

Yongshu what?
Fiery Cross Reef, also known as ... "Yongshu Reef" (永暑礁) and "Yongshu Island" (永暑岛) by the Chinese ...
I doubt that it's known as either of "Yongshu Reef" or "Yongshu Island" by the Chinese. Maybe "Yongshu Dao", or some other name, but ...

I can't seem to edit the other topic relating to this, sorry. Anyways why not use its Chinese name, Phillipine name, or Vietnamese name?
