Nara Burnu → Nagara Point – It's the English name. Xx236 (talk) 13:42, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose: It certainly was the usual English name, until circa the mid-20th century. Per usual modern practice for toponyms, settlements, etc, unless a term is overwhelmingly established, Wikipedia should use the native name, in this case, Nara Burnu. Given the importance of the Dardanelles Campaign, it is likely that Nagara Point will prevail in Anglophone literature, but if we rename Bombay to Mumbai, and Peking to Beijing, I find it hard to argue for Nagara over the actual Turkish name.

Oppose not the Encyclopedia of the 19th Century. In ictu oculi (talk) 17:18, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

To be exact - the English source comes from the 1888. The page doesn't quote any modern English language source.Xx236 (talk) 06:54, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oceanography of the Turkish Straits - Volume 2, Issue 1 - Page 2-9, 1988. That is a modern English language source. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:15, 10 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
