The official name of the
community appears to be Wentlooge (not Wentloog) as shown at
Ordnance Surveyand
Census 2001. Newport City Council appears to use both forms, a search of their website producing 166 hits for Wentloog and 463 for Wentlooge at
City of Newport : Search.
In addition, the subsidiary villages are shown at
Ordnance Survey as St Brides Wentlooge and Peterstone Wentlooge.
The article should therefore be moved to Wentlooge.

Clearly both spellings are used - personally I'm surprised at the extent of official use of the spelling with the "e", as I think the version without the "e" is more common locally, but I can't dispute your sources. Both versions are English mis-hearings / mis-spellings of the Welsh Gwynllŵg. So long as there are redirects, I wouldn't object to a move.

Just to comment that I think
Wentloog (hundred) should remain as it is, as the more usual spelling of the hundred name, historically, is without the "e" - the inconsistency simply reflects the variation in spelling over time.
