Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Lusophony or Lusofonia Games?

Do you think we should rename it "Lusofonia Games"? Their website has become very slow lately. --Pedro 12:02, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we should. I don't get why they don't officially translate it but, for matters of accuracy, we should use the official spelling. Joao pais 20:12, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree it should be "Lusophony Games" - you either translate it all or nothing (it's like "Torino Games 2006"...), but the official name is the language mix, so what do we do? Parutakupiu ^{talk || contribs} 20:33, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In English this and all related pages should be "Lusophone Games." There is no word "Lusophony" in English; the correct translation is "Lusophone." If you check on Google the only place this is called "Lusophony" is in Wikipedia, and there is no other usage of the term "Lusophony." Bruxism (talk) 04:56, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 12 March 2020

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved — Amakuru (talk) 18:25, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lusophony Games → Lusofonia Games – There was a recent move of numerous articles on the Lusophony Games to use Lusophone Games by User:Bruxism. I started to revert the move back to the long-standing Lusophony Games, but now realise this has been done across many pages and categories without any wider discussion, so I am loth to make a change that affects 100s of articles again without further discussion on the common name for the competition.

Search engine results for Wikipedia's long-standing name for this competition ("Lusophony Games") [1] easily outnumber those for "Lusophone Games" [2], but the term "Lusofonia Games" actually has double the results of either [3]. The only English-speaking nation that takes part in this competition is India and looking at Indian news websites again reveals that Lusofonia Games is comfortably the preferred term (Times of India, Deccan Herald, Indian Express,The Hindu)

I think this coverage should take precedence for our common name considerations, given that the majority of English-language coverage comes from India and it rarely receives coverage in the press of other English-speaking nations. SFB 19:42, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

'Comment Although you're on the money it does seem to be international wikipedia on here. Lots of German people have their names written in German when in English their names are written as SS or ae instead of a diacritic. So don't know how much support you would have for it. Games of the world (talk) 20:41, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support Move "Lusophony" is a extremely seldonly used term. Lusofonia is the more common and accurate term. Cristiano Tomás (talk) 17:12, 7 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
