Banate of SeverinBanat of Severin – Per WP:COMMONNAME. 1450 vs 102 Google Books hits. relisted--Mike Cline (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2012 (UTC) Dobitocilor (talk) 08:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you have misstyped and you want to move the article to "Banat of Severin" (without the "e"). I can agree with this. KœrteFa {ταλκ} 08:54, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
LOL, yes, thanks for the observation, I've made the correction. I am not that crazy yet to propose the change of the current name with itself Dobitocilor (talk)
  • Support: Banat of Severin is indeed much more common in the relevant literature. --RJFF (talk) 09:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support; more commonly used and closer to the original term. If we really wanted to anglicise, I would suggest going the whole hog and calling it a "principality" or whatever. I would point out that "Banat" as a specific name is just another case where a general term for a type of territory in the Balkans has got recycled into a name for a specific territory; see also Herzegovina, Sandžak, Banovina, Vojvodina, ... or even, a little further afield, Ukraine. bobrayner (talk) 12:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
