Piața Sfatului → Council Square – Most English sources give this name (e.g. Michelin green guide, various English-language books about Transylvania, news items). Whitepixels (talk) 05:40, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Michael Palin, etc. The English translation only appears in brackets after the name. In ictu oculi (talk) 22:01, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose No evidence has been presented to support the nom's assertion that "Most English sources" use Council Square and I find evidence to the contrary. AusLondonder (talk) 01:54, 11 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi and thanks for the comments.

Some printed sources naming it "Council square" are Fodor, Bradt, Michelin guides.
A google search shows ~300k results for "Piata Sfatului" and ~100k for "Council square" (excluding pages where both appear). Since I expect that a big part of the results are local, the English version usage is not negligible.

There are several other "translated" titles, e.g. Black Tower or Golden Stag Festival – should these be renamed then?

Just because some titles are translated doesn't mean that all should be. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:55, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Black Tower has a geo dab. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:36, 13 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The common name is the native name. WP:UE says we should only use an English translation if it is the common name. In this case it definitely isn't. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:52, 12 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
