Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

No consensus' to move. Vegaswikian (talk) 02:12, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 05:11, 31 July 2011 (UTC) The suggested form is the more common one, as used on the websites of both the town (German English) and the District (German), and in railway timetables, on station signs, and in German Wikipedia and commons. Also, the word "Sankt" is a German word, not an English one, and therefore "Sankt Pölten-Land District" is Denglish. On the other hand, "St." is an accepted abbreviation for both "Sankt" and its English equivalent ("Saint"), and therefore appropriate for both languages.

  • Support per the clear and sensible nomination. Jenks24 (talk) 08:21, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Pretty much every other German and Austrian settlement with a similar name is named as "Sankt Foo" on Wikipedia. There's no need to make an exception for this one. Proper names do not have to be (and should not be) translated, so the nominator's second point is irrelevant. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:58, 25 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per Necrothesp. - Darwinek (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support There is a reason to make an exception, if sources do, as the proposer seems to show. Wiki-reality does not trump actual reality. Erudy (talk) 12:56, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    • Then a general renaming should be proposed, as I'm sure this equally applies to every other place in Germany and Austria beginning with "Sankt". It shouldn't be piecemeal, which just breeds inconsistency. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:34, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Per Necrothesp. In any case, is the proposed title particularly helpful for the reader, who is left wondering whether the name is pronounced Saint Pölten, Sankt Pölten, San Pölten, Sind Pölten or even Sveti Pölten? The sources do not show that the name is customarily translated into St. Pölten: they show that in Austria the name is customarily abbreviated, but then everyone in Austria knows that St. is a shortened form of Sankt.

Sankt PöltenSt. Pölten – St. Pölten is the official Name for the town. See ie

I don't think roadsigns are a good source for this sort of thing. Shall we rename L'pool or M'cr? bobrayner (talk) 17:20, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In Austria it's (at least) unusual to shorten roadsigns, but good point ;) Argument stroked. --AleXXw (talk) 18:24, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted name change contrary to the above decisions

[edit]

Back in December of 2014, this page was moved to St Pölten in clear contravention of the previous two consensus decisions (above) to leave it at Sankt Pölten. The move was only half done, as the article lead was left talking about Sankt Pölten without any explanation as to how that place related to the St Pölten in the article title. And the two navigation templates at the foot of the template were not changed, this negating the link->bold effect that should be seen when viewing the template through that article. Because of the counter-consensus nature of the move, and its incomplete nature, I have reverted the move. I am agnostic on which is the better article name, but just ask that any move be properly discussed and then done correctly. -- chris_j_wood (talk) 12:09, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
