Unwarranted move

[edit]

Romsdal Fjord is perhaps used in English, but the move wa done without discussion and with limited evidence. --— Erik Jr. 10:06, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The change was made based on good evidence from reliable sources. See WP:BOLD. Doremo (talk) 10:34, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It would be more constructive to slow down and discuss rather than make a unilateral decision. --— Erik Jr. 10:55, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I quickly searched through major English language newspapers: NY Times

  • Romsdal Fjord 1 hit
  • Romsdalsfjorden 1 hit
  • Romsdalsfjord 2

The Times (London)

  • Romsdal Fjord 0
  • Romsdalsfjorden 0
  • Romsdalsfjord 6

Telegraph (London)

  • Romsdal Fjord 0
  • Romsdalsfjorden 0
  • Romsdalsfjord 4

Google Scholar returned the following hits

  • Romsdal Fjord 51
  • Romsdalsfjorden 206
  • Romsdalsfjord 229

Does not seem like "Romsdal Fjord" is the most commonly used name in English. "Romsdalsfjord" seems more common than "Romsdalsfjorden" (definitive form). — Erik Jr. 11:46, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
