Champs-Élysées → Avenue des Champs-Élysées – It's the official name, whereas "Champs-Élysées" is just the short name for it, see e.g. other avenues of Paris and the other Wikipedias for this article. The Evil IP address (talk) 19:22, 4 January 2014 (UTC)

• Oppose. There's no question in my mind that the WP:COMMONNAME term is Champs-Élysées. I not only doubt that most English speakers would call it the "Avenue des Champs-Élysées", I doubt that most are even aware that's the official name. Msnicki (talk) 21:29, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
• Slight Oppose - It may be the official name, "but Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's 'official' name as an article title" (WP:Commonname). 'The Champs-Élysées' is the common name in English at least. -- [[ axg // ✉ ]] 21:31, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose Official, but not common. --Երևանցի ^talk 21:52, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose Not common at all. Jaqeli (talk) 21:54, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose WP:OFFICIALNAME -- we don't use official names just because they are official; WP:UCN, we use common names -- 76.65.128.112 (talk) 22:00, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
• Oppose. No reason provided why we should not follow WP:COMMONNAME. Vegaswikian (talk) 22:30, 4 January 2014 (UTC)
