Talk:Gortahork

Irish-English name
With respect Angr, I don't think there's any doubt that the Irish name "has gained favour in English usage" - a simple Google search will show 141,000 results for 'Gort an Choirce', whereas there are just 29,200 results for 'Gortahork'. Thus I shall be moving it back per WP:IMOS. -- Schcambo aon scéal? 18:34, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:IMOS #1 doesn't say anything about gaining favor in English usage. It says "Where the English and Irish names are the same or very nearly the same, but the English and Irish spellings differ, use the English spelling" and gives two other Gaeltacht locations as examples: Rosmuck rather than Ros Muc and Inishmore rather than Inis Mór. —Angr 18:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Rule #4 states that "where the English and Irish names are different, and the Irish name is the official name, and has gained favour in English usage, use the official Irish name." I think the simple Google search proves that has happened. I wouldn't be of the opinion that Gortahork is quite like its Irish version - I had never even heard it like that before! -- Schcambo aon scéal? 18:42, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Look at the examples: Gortahork is as much like Gort a' Choirce as Rosmuck is like Ros Muc and Inis Mór like Inishmore. It's not anywhere near as different as Muinebeag and Bagenalstown, which is the kind of example #4 applies to. —Angr 20:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Change then I suppose, if you want. I'm going to suggest a change on that page, because this is a bit of a stupid situation! -- Schcambo aon scéal? 10:08, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
