Seachtain na Gaeilge → Irish week — Naming conventions (use English) — V = I * R  (talk to Ω) 20:35, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose. There is no such event as "Irish week". The current title of this article complies with both WP:EN and WP:IMOS: "Seachtain na Gaeilge" is the name most commonly used only name used in English-language contexts to refer to the topic of this article.--Kwekubo (talk) 23:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Some examples demonstrating "Seachtain na Gaeilge" in English usage:
 * the event's official website;
 * a page at the website of RTÉ, the Irish national broadcaster;
 * a page at the website of Tourism Ireland;
 * examples of articles from The Irish Times.
 * --Kwekubo (talk) 16:05, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Support as per WP:ENGLISH. --Labattblueboy (talk) 04:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * absolutely no traffic on the english translation . Removed support. --Labattblueboy (talk) 23:12, 8 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Oppose until some evidence of the relative usage of the two in English is given. Without that, this request seems to be based on a clear misunderstanding of WP:UE. Knepflerle (talk) 09:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose - per WP:COMMONNAME and per WP:IMOS. See also Áras an Uachtaráin, Bord Gáis, Bord na Móna, An Bord Pleanála, Bus Éireann, Dáil Éireann, Fáilte Ireland, Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, Garda Síochána, Luas, Oireachtas, Raidió Teilifís Éireann, Seanad Éireann, Sinn Féin, Tánaiste and Taoiseach. These are the common names of these various entities in the English language in Ireland, to use the English language translation of their common name is possibly WP:OR. Also, this is not an Irish language issue, the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Germany sits at Bundestag on the English language wikipedia not German Parliament.
 * Oppose - this organization does not ever use an English-language translation of its name and would not be recognised by Irish people if spoken of in a translated form. 174.16.17.50 (talk) 02:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Support as english speaking/reading laymen (like me), likely can't read/pronounce 'Seachtain na Gaeilge'. GoodDay (talk) 18:42, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Moving this article to Irish week would constitute original research. The festival has never been known by such a name, and is always referred to in English-language contexts by the name "Seachtain na Gaeilge". --Kwekubo (talk) 19:37, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I shan't alter my 'vote'. GoodDay (talk) 20:29, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Opppose Never mind WP:COMMONNAME in this case, as was stated above, there is no such thing as "Irish Week". --rannṗáirtí anaiṫnid (coṁrá) 20:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per Kwekubo, Snappy and RA. Not just the common name, but the only name used, both in Irish and English-language media. But if GD is curious as to how it is pronounced, there's an example of usage in a news report (in English) from the main RTÉ evening news at this page. Just follow the "Focus on Irish for Seachtain na Gaeilge" link.  FlowerpotmaN &middot;( t ) 21:35, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose Per above - only ever been called this. Hohenloh + 00:13, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that the English title is given in the article. Continuing to use the Gaelic title here in en.wikipedia seems just as inappropriate as using an English title on ga.wikipedia. — V = I * R  (talk to Ω) 09:56, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Again, there is no English title for this festival. It's not our place to decide what something should be named when there is clearly established precedent in English-language usage. --Kwekubo (talk) 11:19, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. However, this argument (either way) and this article would benefit from some references. Daicaregos (talk) 12:59, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Strong Oppose We can't just make up names to call articles that don't exist. BigDunc  15:29, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Definite oppose, doesn't even exist as far as I'm aware, didn't even need to look at the other arguments but they seem to agree. -- can  dle &bull; wicke  02:44, 13 December 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion
You got to be kidding right? Oppose and I'd like to hear the actual reason you think it's appropriate to nominate this cultural event, beyond some opaque reference to a WP page. Akerbeltz (talk) 10:38, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
