Move

This article should be moved to Greenland Airport Authority, per WP:UE and their official website, www.glv.gl. Wikipedia uses all official translations to English for public offices, which is used by almost all Nordic public agencies. Arsenikk ^(talk) 21:35, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Language names

@ThatGuyOnline: Hello! Yes, I made the edit partly based on the old logo (which had not yet been replaced).

I was aware that Danish is no longer official in Greenland itself (though it is still under Danish sovereignty). I still think historic languages are good to show, even if they are no longer officially used. Several articles on European cities like Lviv#Names_and_symbols and Leopoldov have catalogued language names which are no longer used.

Additionally, the Danish Wikipedia still uses da:Grønlands Lufthavne. If they start using the Greenlandic name in Danish (as in people using Danish would state Mittarfeqarfiit instead of Grønlands Lufthavne), this could be clarified in the article. I also believe that Danish itself is still important due to the Danish sovereignty aspect.

I’ve updated the Danish article to at least reflect the name change. I think most people would just call the company by the English name since that’s the actual name of the company, and the Greenlandic translation is just part of the new logo not the corporate name. Just like no Dane calls Air Greenland by the original Danish name ‘Grønlandsfly’.

The Danish article really needs a major overhaul because of how outdated it is. I’ll update it further once the new international airport in Nuuk opens later this month.

Your examples are quite interesting regarding places with historical names in other languages.

I’m just not sure it applies to this company. The Danish article states that the company was founded in 1988 as ‘Grønlands Lufthavnsvæsen’ without a cited source. It would be interesting to have a section in this English article about when all the name changes took place. At some point in time they changed their name to ‘Mittarfeqarfiit’ and had the Danish/English names in their logo without actually having it in their corporate name. Then the new company ‘Kalaallit Airports’ was founded and later merged with ‘Mittarfeqarfiit’ and here we are today with ‘Greenland Airports’. ThatGuyOnline (talk) 14:56, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
