Talk:Icelandic Naming Committee

Best title for this article?
I wonder whether "Icelandic Naming Committee" really is the most appropriate title for this article. Although I've seen this term used in some English-language sources, I note that the official Icelandic government translation of the Personal Names Act (see here) consistently uses the phrase "Personal Names Committee" as a translation for Mannanafnanefnd.

 * I just noticed this. "Naming Committee" is very misleading and not the English name used for the entity by the Icelandic authorities. Plan to change the title to "Icelandic Personal Names Committee" unless there are objections. Dustin de Brie (talk) 10:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

Needs updating
The current text says a move was under way in 2016 to abolish the committee. However, I understand (per an off-wiki conversation with someone in Iceland) that the committee still functions today (September 2018), so there is clearly room here for updating. FWIW, the corresponding article in the Icelandic Wikipedia (is:Mannanafnanefnd) is of no help. — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 04:19, 15 September 2018 (UTC)
