Northern Basque Country → French Basque Country – Reasons displayed below. Adding this tag since original poster did not.Cymru123 (talk) 21:32, 28 August 2012 (UTC) A google search gives some 542,000 hits for "Northern Basque Country" and some 765,000 for "French Basque Country". Many of the hits of the former, are mirrors of this same web page as it is now.

I'll move the page accordingly unless anyone opposes consistently Mountolive   le déluge 16:13, 16 October 2008 (UTC)


 * +1 French Basque Country is more relevant —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.172.141.127 (talk) 09:12, 28 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Support. French Basque Country is much more well-known than Northern Basque Country. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cymru123 (talk • contribs) 11:59, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
 * This article needs editing, not moving. As regards the move, I'm neutral. Akerbeltz (talk) 22:35, 28 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Not an enthusiast of the move. Admittedly it has little use in the English speaking world, so I won´t oppose it. Iñaki LL (talk) 19:47, 29 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Support -- I think the term in the present title is a POV one, as it carries the implication that the whole Basque territory should be united into a single country. This may be something that the Basque Nationalists seek, but that has presumably not been the case since the Treaty of the Pyrennees, nearly 500 years ago.

 * Comment: So calling it the "French Basque Country" isn't POV by implying there is or should be something French about it? If you think about it, that doesn't make sense, especially since Pays Basque in French is totally vague and can refer to all or any political subset of the Basque Country itself. Anyway.

Northern Basque Country
"French Basque Country" is clearly French POV. Please note that there is no such thing as "Spanish Basque Country", as it is called Southern Basque Country. I propose that it be moved back to Northern Basque Country per WP:NPOV and WP:COMMONNAME, as it was prior to a move that took place in late 2012.

 * Let's not open that can of worms again, we had the debate(s) before. Whether we like it or not, COMMONNAME in English is 'French BC' Akerbeltz (talk) 14:47, 27 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Much as I could agree with your point, let's give it a rest, the change was discussed and decided by consensus not long ago, and there is a reason for it. Regards Iñaki LL (talk) 18:19, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Translation from Spanish
Hello, I recently translated the existing Spanish Wikipedia article es:País Vasco francés. You will see that some of the sections are expanded upon based on the information retrieved from that article. Lsagas (talk) 18:44, 10 June 2019 (UTC)
