Talk:Na h-Eileanan Siar

Na h-Eileanan Siar instead of Outer Hebrides
I think this article should redirect to 'Outer Hebrides', as it did until today. This is an English encyclopedia, and so should use the common English place names. I'm a English-speaking Scot, and I for one had never heard of Na h-Eileanan Siar until today.

Perhaps there is a case to be made for using Gaelic place-names for majority Gaelic areas. However, I'm not aware of any such policy at present. I think this should be returned to the original title. See also Talk:Outer Hebrides   -  Crosbiesmith 21:53, 7 January 2006 (UTC)
