Talk:Pomorie

Pomorie-Anchialos
I think that the name of this article should be Anchialos and not Pomorie because this city is Greek and it doesen't belong to Bulgaria so it has to be Anchialos. Also, this city is most-known with the ancient Greek name Anchialos and not with the name Burgas.

Thanks,

 * The city doesn't belong to Bulgaria? Then why do all maps show it as part of Bulgaria? Or perhaps you think it shouldn't be part of Bulgaria?
 * If so, you should know that this kind of nationalism won't do much good if you're trying to change something in Wikipedia. Your claim that Pomorie is a Greek city (as opposed to the statement that it was a Greek city) is false both on the criteria of geography and on the criteria of nationality as Pomorie is predominantly Bulgarian and has been since the Bulgarian-Greek exchange in the 1920s (which involved twice as many Bulgarians as Greeks, by the way). So if we applied the same criteria as you want here, we'll have to change the names of many towns in Northern Greece to their Bulgarian version, which I doubt you would like.


 * As for which name is more common, of course the city is not known as Burgas, that's another city. But in modern English usage, which is what matters in Wikipedia, Pomorie is far more common than Anchialos. So there is no ground for a move. But if you feel so strongly about this, you can request a move with this template, but I doubt you will be successful. Kostja (talk) 19:24, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
