The current name of the article, "Vinschgau-Val Venosta", is a combination of the German name ("Vinschgau") and the Italian name ("Val Venosta"). This type of bilingual naming was found to be undesirable in a survey at Talk:Communes of South Tyrol, see also Naming conventions (geographic names). The three most plausible options are listed below, please cast your votes. Markussep 17:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Add "* Support" or "* Oppose" followed by an optional one-sentence explanation, then sign your opinion with ~

Vinschgau-Val Venosta (current name)

 * neutral--PhJ 18:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
