Talk:Boelcke-Kaserne concentration camp

Article title
G'day, just looking at this article, it seems to me that Nordhausen concentration camp is a far more common name for this camp than Boelcke's barracks. Google nGram doesn't even register Boelcke's barracks. I believe this article should be moved to Nordhausen concentration camp, or if considered necessary, Nordhausen concentration sub-camp.

 * ❌ I initially moved it because it's true that Nordhausen concentration camp gets more hits, but after digging deeper I'm not convinced that this would be a good idea. There was a dense network of concentration camps in and around Nordhausen and published sources are often vague about exactly which one is meant. For example, this Nordhausen is almost certainly a different camp. Sometimes Nordhausen is used as the name of the entire complex, rather than Mittelbau-Dora, since it was centred around the city of Nordhausen. The German article is currently called "KZ-Außenlager Boelcke-Kaserne". I think it would be best to pick a name that avoids the confusion around "Nordhausen", but I'm not keen on a German name such as "Boelcke-Kaserne" (which is used in English sources) so I translated it. However, I'm not opposed to a name like "Boelcke-Kaserne concentration camp". Catrìona (talk) 05:34, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I think the significant difference in Google Books hits (1,400 to less than 50) and the lack of nGram for Boelcke Barracks means that even when taking into account the cluster of camps in the area, this is the one that is being referred to in most cases (ie the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. It is still much more the common name. There is also the issue of naturalness and precision, which this current title does not have. It doesn't even say it is a concentration camp. I could live with Boelcke Barracks concentration camp, Boelcke Barracks (initial caps for both) being the proper name of the barracks. It's not "Boelcke's", it is Boelcke. That is how it would be rendered in English from the German. In any case, it can't stay at the current title as it doesn't meet WP:ARTICLETITLE.

 * Moving to "Boelcke-Kaserne concentration camp" as it is described as such, more or less, in most of the English language sources cited in the article, including and in the Encyclopedia of Camps and Ghettos. Catrìona (talk) 07:00, 26 August 2018 (UTC)
