Portal pylon → H-frame tower — ...*sighs* I don't know what to say. Most documents call this structure an "H-frame tower", after searching. I searched "portal pylon" hard on Google and found nothing but Wikipedia mirrors (oh, and a book using Wikipedia's pages) until I finally found one source calling it a "portal pylon"... and in Sweden.

Later, after searching, I found "portal pylon" to mean basically "gateways". Like the bridge towers on the Brooklyn Bridge, and arch gateways in ancient Egypt and India. The search then quickly turns into bridges.

Who calls this a "portal pylon"? Who dictated the names of these articles, anyway? &mdash;Onore Baka Sama(speak 15:12, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for raising this. Articles become properly named by the efforts of editors like you.  See the full guideline at WP:NAME.  I'll move the article to H-frame tower in a day or two if no objection appears since I doubt it will be controversial.  —EncMstr (talk) 16:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

 * Now H-frame tower was deleted (merged).
 * But anchor portal emerged.
 * The portal thing comes from the Germanic languages.
 * Could the term gantry be useful in English?
