Unwarranted move

[edit]

Hi @Artemis Andromeda the name of the faction comes from the Puławska street in Warsaw, not from the town of Puławy :) So the name should be "Puławianie" or in the worse case "Puławska Street Faction"; although I strongly recommend the first one. Can you reverse your move? Cheers Marcelus (talk) 13:37, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Marcelus: I disagree. Firstly, the opposing fraction is known on English Wikipedia as Natolin faction, not Natolinczycy. Secondly, Puławianie directly translates to "people from Pulawy". Maybe the name was inspired by the street, but grammatically, it cared the meaning of the original namesake. In the city there are actually quite a few things whose name was inspired by Pulawska Street, but with the name grammatically reffering to the original place instea, and this isn't much different.

Sorry, but it's not something you can agree or disagree on, the faction isn't named after Puławy, period. Also see sources: https://marzec68.sztetl.org.pl/en/slowo/pulawianie/ and https://marzec68.sztetl.org.pl/en/slowo/natolinczycy/; the article should be moved to Puławianie faction.Marcelus (talk) 14:38, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Puławy factionPuławianie faction – Current title is misleading, the name of the faction comes from the Puławska Street in Warsaw, not the town of Puławy, as the current title suggest. See: https://marzec68.sztetl.org.pl/en/slowo/pulawianie/; "Puławianie faction" name will be consistent with the Natolin faction article.

GScholar: "Puławy faction" (26 hits), "Puławianie faction" (1 hit). I would not object to Puławianie, like on pl wiki as used in some English works too (see query), but I think Puławianie faction would be the worst of both worlds.

User:Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus, thank you for inviting me to look at the "Puławy faction" article.
To understand the title quandary and the article itself, I had to edit the article, which I have done.
It transpired that both the "Puławy faction" and "Natolin faction" articles are currently mistitled. The first faction is not named after the city of Puławy but after Warsaw's Puławy Street; and the second is not named for Warsaw's Natolin district but for Natolin Palace.
I therefore recommend that "Puławy faction" be retitled to "Puławy Street faction"; and "Natolin faction", to "Natolin Palace faction".
The final paragraph of the "Puławy faction" article remains incomprehensible to me, so I did not attempt to edit it.

Thank you, I've done my own c/e of the two articles (removing the wiki-invention "natolines" from the other article too). However, no source outside Wikipedia uses the "Puławy Street faction" or "Natolin Palace faction", and per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OR I think we should be careful trying to introduce our own translations. In addition to the terms above, I'll add now "[1]" (~100 hits). It seems this is the most common translation of this term into English (Puławianie->Puławians). I expect we should likewise rename Natolin faction to Natolinians, but we can discuss it at the talk page of that article if anyone wwants.

@Nihil novi, @Piotrus: "Natolin faction" bother me less, because the palace is still in the Natolin district, and both the district and the palace share the same name, so the name of the faction isn't misleading. Certainly not on the level of "Puławy faction" which denotes completely different place. The popularity of "Puławy faction" in GS surprise me greatly, but still "Puławianie" is much more popular (125 hits), so maybe we should go with that? Marcelus (talk) 08:36, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Right, but we should standardize it with Natolin case. It would be weird (inconsistnet) to rename this one to Puławiane but keep the other one as Natolin faction. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 12:46, 8 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Per above discussion and relisting comment, I'm reopening the proposal with the variants proposed by Piotrus so we can get a clear sense of whether these have consensus. Please indicate if these are supported or not, or suggest other alternatives if desired.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:35, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support: The proposed names are conveniently brief, and vague enough to satisfactorily accommodate the pertinent concepts.
Thank you, Amakuru, for your help toward resolving this question!

  • Support per my comments above, including search results which suggests those are most common names in English.
