The spelling is incorrect and there's a ghottal stop which is wrong in the Samoan language.Teine Savaii (talk) 08:19, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The proposed title also reflects usual English usage. — AjaxSmack 18:56, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose unless it can be proved this is the correct spelling. The apostrophe is just an ukuvina, not a glottal stop. —innotata (Talk • Contribs) 20:14, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- - What is an ukuvina? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:48, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Here are some examples of English usage of "fagogo" courtesy of Google: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7]. It's also an entry in an online Samoan-English dictionary. I could only find a couple of uses of "faʻagogo"[8]. — AjaxSmack 21:43, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm a native Samoan speaker and the spelling is wrong. It's an easy mistake to make probably to the non-Samoan ear. I'd added some info months ago when I was learning to edit and wasn't paying enough attention. On the web, the spelling 'Fa'agogo appears mainly used in blogs and online chatting (and this Wikipedia article). Here's an example of correct spelling in a Samoa government doc, and user AjaxSmack has also provided references.Samoa govt reference article.Teine Savaii (talk) 03:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
