Line 69:
In quite a few move requests where the proposal is to move to a name with non-English origins, I've noticed people citing this policy (or [[WP:UE]]) as justification to oppose the move, even if the proposed name is demonstrably the most common used in English sources. As I understand it, this guideline talks simply about which name English sources use, and has no prejudice on the origins of said name - hence using [[Uluru]] over Ayers Rock, or [[Denali]] over Mount McKinley. I'm wondering whether it would be worth having something within the guideline to spell this out, as it seems the current wording has been misconstrued reasonably often?

:@[[User:Turnagra|Turnagra]], fully agree seen it used as an argument to argue to use only English names, regardless if a non-English name is more common. '''[[User:DankJae|<span style="color: black">Dank</span>]][[User talk:DankJae|<span style="color: red">Jae</span>]]''' 21:07, 23 May 2024 (UTC)
