article name (Fausto Veranzio vs. Faust Vrančić)

This is getting a bit silly...

A quick Google check doesn't seem to support this change unequivocally (it tells me current 390 hits vs. old 3460 hits) so can we get a proper explanation for this? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 12:51, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lacking any explanation, I'm changing it back. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 17:30, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your comparison is flawed in that you did not exclude Wikipedia itself and mirror pages. Google books may well reflect better actual English usage:

We can settle on his neutral Latin name as a compromise, but I fail to see why we should call the man with a name which hardly was used in his life-time if I am not mistaken. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 00:20, 27 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Venetian or Croatian

Just curious but what's wrong with calling him a Venetian? Wasn't he born in the Republic of Venetia and a Venetian citizen? And if he was, why shouldn't he be called Veranzio then? Gun Powder Ma (talk) 03:01, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever renamed the article was not acting in accordance with WP:COMMONNAME. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 19:12, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More and more invalid arguments. The form Faust Vrančić is used esclusively in slavic literature. --Theirrulez (talk) 20:12, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is starting to get silly. Its 19,000 vs 1,630... even with the Wikipedia title swinging your way. And, as you say, "that creates bias" in the Google test. There's nothing really to discuss. You're starting to contradict yourself. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 21:14, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The request to rename this article to Fausto Veranzio has been carried out.

Faust Vrančić → Fausto Veranzio —

A quick Google check doesn't seem to support the slavic or slavicized form of the title. Above all Fausto Veranzio is widely the name commonly used in English writings, and globally recognized as his original name.
Fausto Veranzio is the only name recurrent in modern ecclesiastical actual documents
Despite the recent quick "move-and-change" by an unique user, Fausto Venanzio is the name which seems to have consensus developed among editors on the related talk page.
Last but not least he had a clear romance origin, he was Venetian mother-tongue (and for that reason he chose to receive education in Venice and in Padua) he was born in the Republic of Venice, Venetian citizen, with a Venetian name and family name: Fausto Venanzio.

Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. No matter how you swing it, no matter which parameters you enter on whatever search engine you choose (Google, Google Books, Google Scholar), the current title is simply more common. User:Theirrulez' personal estimates of notability are not very noteworthy, nor is he exactly "known" for his unbiased approach in these sensitive ethnic issues. Not to mention that this move proposal seems to be part of a much larger agenda to "italianize" names of ethnic Croatian persons on enWiki. --DIREKTOR ^(TALK) 21:28, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Fausto Veranzio is the historic name.--172.130.27.185 (talk) 22:07, 9 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
