Kunst-Wet/Arts-Loi metro station → Arts-Loi metro station – I am starting a move request to retitle this article to its French name, and as such bring it in line with all the other stations of the Brussels Metro, as per the Brussels naming convention established back in 2007 on WP:BELG (see Talk:Brussels-Capital Region/NamingArchive3). In short, the consensus back then in Brussels articles was to use only a single name without any separators (e.g. "/") for clarity, choosing either the French or Dutch alternative (or an English form when existant) depending on the most common usage. Although I am a big defender of Brussels' bilingual status, as far as English Wikipedia is concerned, this role nearly always falls on the French form (that language being by far the most commonly spoken one in the region). I have already manually changed the other stations' names (when required) to meet the above-mentioned criteria. However, this particular article and Maalbeek/Maelbeek metro station are blocked from further moves, leading to both articles' bilingual names remaining as somewhat of an anomaly. I also started a move request on that other article's talk page. Jason Lagos (talk) 17:45, 21 April 2023 (UTC)
