Please don't keep removing "the" from Auschwitz: 7 April 2018; 2 Feb 2019; 23 Feb 2019; 8 Sept 2019 As I said last time, it's a weak proper name; it takes the definite article in English.

Examples: Chris Webb, The Auschwitz Concentration Camp: History, Biographies, Remembrance, 2018. The New York Review of Books: "I walked into Block 24 at the Auschwitz concentration camp ...", and many more. SarahSV (talk) 03:57, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Interesting article here about how difficult or impossible it is to extract a rule about strong or weak proper names. For example, whereas most people would say "the CIA", people who work there apparently say they "work at CIA". SarahSV (talk) 04:13, 9 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Nobody else commented when I put it up in the article discussion. Why should your view reign supreme? It's both perfectly acceptable, and I can just as easily pull quotes referring to it without the definite article. -- Tærkast (Discuss) 16:02, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
