Wrong name of the bank!

[edit]
  • Official name of Narodowy Bank Polski in English is 'National Bank of Poland'. See English version of www.nbp.pl site. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.109.212.37 (talkcontribs) 10:42, August 9, 2007

Claims without reference?

[edit]

"After the war, a bill for over 68 million pounds sterling, covering the equipment and operating costs of the Polish Air Force in Great Britain, was paid from the Polish gold reserves deposited in Canada" - what is source of this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.228.234.14 (talk) 16:29, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Requested move 11 April 2016

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. Clear consensus that the current title is the most common name in reliable sources. Feel free to add any content to the article though about alternate names and what the company wishes to be called. Jenks24 (talk) 12:58, 3 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]



National Bank of PolandNarodowy Bank Polski – Since 2013, when new NBP Corporate Identity was introduced, the only proper name of central bank of Poland is Narodowy Bank Polski (without the define article). This is the official brand name and should NOT be translated into any other language (in the same way you do not translate Banque de France, Deutsche Bank, Riksbank, ect.).

Wikipedia's naming rules do not require us to title an article with the topic's official name in its native language — they require us to use whichever form, either "official form in original language" or "translated into English", is actually seen as the usual name of the topic in actual usage in English-language sources. There are absolutely some instances where English sources just use the topic's original name in its native language, but that's not something that always happens for all institutions in non-English countries whether it should or not — but the determination is not made by the topic's official name in its own native language. I'm not necessarily opposing this as of now, but the reason you've given here has nothing to do with our naming rules: what we would need to see is evidence of which form English language sources actually use to refer to it.
