Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

Sagunto/Sagunt → Sagunto — A common English name exists (see Encyclopaedia Britannica Sagunto), and have to be prefered to any local name, according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements) (above all, the current name is eccentric). —Juiced lemon 13:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Support; no double titles for the sake of political correctness please; we had a strong South Tyrol precedent. According to my own Google search, "Sagunto" seems to be more common in English use (total Ghits are comparable, but ones from *uk and *au domains, as well as "sagunto spain" vs. "sagunt spain" show some 5:1 difference).

Support any move from double name but prefer Sagunt. — AjaxSmack 06:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support single name. Given the balance of the article, I suspect that "Saguntum" may be as common as anything else. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Support, everything, but not double name. Of the two Sagunto is probably best.--Aldux 13:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

Note that the title of the Encyclopaedia Britannica article is Sagunto (above the line), and not Saguntum, which is only the Latin name of the town. --Juiced lemon 08:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

This article has been renamed from Sagunto/Sagunt to Sagunto as the result of a move request. --Stemonitis 14:10, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When a page on modern Sagunto is assembled sufficient to carry the weight of the space-consuming "infobox", that article should be at Sagunto; this, concerning the Roman site, might remain at Saguntum, without the "infobox". A courteous "move" request allows about a month. --Wetman 21:36, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sagunto is a municipality of Spain, located in the province of Valencia, approximately 30 km (19 mi) north of the city of Valencia. The municipality includes three differentiated urban nuclei: Ciutat Vella (Sagunto), Grau Vella and Puerto de Sagunto. More than half of the population lives in Puerto de Sagunto, situated on the Mediterranean Costa del Azahar. The Ciutat Vella is the site of the ancient Iberian and Roman city of Saguntum and a siege in 219 BC which was the trigger of the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians and the Romans. This panorama shows the Ciutat Vella, looking north from the hill on which Sagunto Castle stands.
