Wrong title

It's a never-ending story: Israelis imposing Hebrew on English speakers, out of carelessness or ideology.

A) Excellent sources, such as the architecture office that restored (RESTORED! it means something in this context, too) the building, is using in English the name Levine House - after researching its history more thoroughly than most others, I am confident. B) If they, and not only them, concluded that the first owner's name is Levine, not Levin, we should follow them, and not just Google-translate the Hebrew article. So: "Levine House", not "Beit Levin", which definitely has its place among local/vernacular/nicknames and Wikipedia redirects, but not more than that. Btw, google for "Levine House"+"Tel Aviv" and "Beit Levin"+"Tel Aviv" and compare the results: 7.530 to 361. So not even on the popularity level, let alone on the academic/encyclopedic one, and even after the well-known effect of Wikipedia on copy-and-paste net contributors...

Disambiguation

If the Danes can use English for a 17th-century villa, so can the Israelis for a 20th-century one. The Danes also have a local name for the Copenhagen building (actually two). Now I have replaced the redirect "Levin House" -> "Levin House (Copenhagen)" with a disambiguation page listing both and more. Arminden (talk) 08:34, 11 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
