Sagunto/Sagunt → Sagunto — A common English name exists (see Encyclopaedia Britannica Sagunto), and have to be prefered to any local name, according to Naming conventions (settlements) (above all, the current name is eccentric). —Juiced lemon 13:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Support; no double titles for the sake of political correctness please; we had a strong South Tyrol precedent. According to my own Google search, "Sagunto" seems to be more common in English use (total Ghits are comparable, but ones from *uk and *au domains, as well as "sagunto spain" vs. "sagunt spain" show some 5:1 difference).

 * Support any move from double name but prefer Sagunt. —  AjaxSmack     06:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Support single name. Given the balance of the article, I suspect that "Saguntum" may be as common as anything else. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, everything, but not double name. Of the two Sagunto is probably best.--Aldux 13:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Discussion

 * Any additional comments:

Note that the title of the Encyclopaedia Britannica article is Sagunto (above the line), and not Saguntum, which is only the Latin name of the town. --Juiced lemon 08:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

This article has been renamed as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 14:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

When a page on modern Sagunto is assembled sufficient to carry the weight of the space-consuming "infobox", that article should be at Sagunto; this, concerning the Roman site, might remain at Saguntum, without the "infobox". A courteous "move" request allows about a month. --Wetman 21:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
