move page

Can any one move this page from Janzur to Janzour, Because the arabic name is Template:Arabic-international and in english the Correct is Janzour not Janzur, It is difference --41.254.31.59 (talk) 16:34, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This article was moved from Janzour to Janzur in September 2011 in this edit by Kwamikagami, so I hope Kwamikagami will come here and comment. Because Janzour is already a redirect to Janzur, you can use the process at Wikipedia:Requested moves if there is consensus to make the move. Good luck!

@GoingBatty: I will wait him for some time and then I will request move the page, Thanks for your response --41.254.31.59 (talk) 18:32, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) The spelling is inconsistent even within this article. Do you have any evidence that the French spelling is more common than standard English transliteration, janzūr? — kwami (talk) 18:33, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
In the Ngrams database,[1] Janzour is not found at all. In GBooks, adding "Libya", the two spellings are equally common. — kwami (talk) 18:48, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
@Kwamikagami: ur is not like ʊər, our is like ʊər, the Template:Arabic-international (not Template:Arabic-international) is long vowel With Template:Arabic-international, and use Macron (Macron page says in Uses "Transcriptions of Arabic typically use macrons to indicate long vowels Template:Arabic-international"), and after Template:Arabic-international is Template:Arabic-international, so Template:Arabic-international is Janzūr so the Correct is Janzour not Janzur --41.254.31.59 (talk) 19:51, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
