Talk:Holmenkollbakken

Update
This article is outdated now. They've finished the new hill and will be opening it this week. So, we need stats on the new hill, and a new photo. --KatjaKat (talk) 06:04, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

 * also, this article is very 'listy'.. the results tables may be better in another article with a link from this one, and just keep a short written summary of the results in this article. Mlm42 13:40, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Holmenkollen ski jump → Holmenkollbakken — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC) The name is Holmenkollbakken. Other names of ski jumping hills have the original name, including Große Olympiaschanze, Bergiselschanze, Paul-Ausserleitner-Schanze.--Geschichte (talk) 12:19, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oppose no data has been presented as to whether this is the common name in English. Beyond that, the intent of the current title appears to be to match it to, amongst other things, the neighbourhood of Holmenkollen (also see: Holmenkollen Line. Holmenkollen Ski Festival and Holmenkollen Medal) I am, however, willing to change my position if it can be shown that Holmenkollbakken is the common name in English, not simply the official name.--Labattblueboy (talk) 14:57, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Support the hill is called Holmenkollbakken, no doubt about that. All other sports venues in Norway are listed under their native name, and as far as I have seen, no other ski jumping hills are listed under "translated" names. There is a long tradition on WP not to translate or invent names for sports venues, even if they are very en-English. There is also no evidence that "Holmenkollen ski jump" is any official name, nor that it is even used colloquially. Arsenikk (talk)  17:07, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
