Talk:Arkona (band)

Spelling
First of all, you should use original selling for bandname, not translation, I don't see german bandnames being translated to english as primary name. Secondly, Arkona spelled with latin letters is a Polish metal band.

 * Arkona (in Latin letters) is the commonly used name for this band in the English-speaking world. Per WP:COMMONNAME, the English Wikipedia uses the most-frequently used name of a subject for its article titles. Also, band names are never translated but only transliterated to the Latin alphabet where necessary. That is why German bands and others using Latin letters appear with their original names in the article title, but e. g. the Japanese pop band Ketsumeishi has a transliterated title.
