Talk:Klaipėda Castle

As per Gdansk vote, the correct name would be Memel Castle. We have Königsberg Castle rather than Kaliningrad Castle. --Ghirla-трёп- 12:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * But we have Malbork Castle, etc. In other hand, Memelburg should be instead of Memel Castle. Knowing complexity of this issue, before making this article I investigated name usage, currently established museum uses (in EN) Klaipėda Castle as well as museum publications do so. So I decided to go with museum preferred name. I also would like to know what thinks other editors, before making any moves. M.K. 14:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Naming

 * 25 English pages for "memelburg castle" -wikipedia
 * 11 English pages for "memel castle" -wikipedia
 * 133 English pages for "klaipeda castle" -wikipedia

These results are affected by the popularity of the Klaipeda Castle Jazz Festival.

One consideration is the usage of Klaipeda Castle by the European Network of National Heritage Organisations. This multinational org works with the European Commission. Novickas 18:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * As the Gdansk vote determined, we should not be duped by google search results, which only reflect Lithuanization policies of the official administration. The castle was not built by the Lithuanians. Actually, it was never administrated by Lithuania. --Ghirla-трёп- 18:56, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Í agree with Ghirla, Memel Castle should be the name of the article. Other variations, such as the Lithuanian and possibly the German naming, may be observed in the intro. --Camptown 22:13, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Was this ever resolved? I think its weird that the name is Klaipeda Castle given the history, and aforementioned points--Simen113 (talk) 22:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Gdansk vote
I believe Talk:Gdansk/Vote should apply here. Here is the template. -- Petri Krohn 07:33, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
