Requested move
[edit]This article should be moved in accordance with Wikipedia's naming policy, WP:UE, to the commonly used English name. Although sometimes called by the French name in English for added cachet, Saint Helen's Island is the usual English form.
- It sounds to me like this is close to the national differences issue. What do Quebeckers call it? Septentrionalis 22:44, 23 July 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, I forgot to sign my recommendation for the move. I am a Quebecer (a native English-speaking one- we do exist ;), and I can tell you that both names are used, although it is impossible to say which is used "more", but Saint Helen's Island is what we consider the English name --Larineso 23:15, 24 July 2005 (UTC)
- Support. If an English name exists it should be used. – AxSkov (T) 03:49, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
- Support- just in case it wasn't clear, as I hadn't explicitly said it.. Larineso 23:53, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
This article has been renamed after the result of a move request. violet/riga (t) 17:10, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
I think it may appear more clear that this is not the Saint-Helena island of Napoleon, which have the same
name:
