  • Oppose. The common name in reliable English-languages sources is the Hungarian name, not some Godawful mishmash of Hungarian and English. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:22, 10 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • Not sure what you mean, it seems to have a fair number of its here: https://www.google.com/search?q=Janos+Hill%2C+budapest --evrik (talk) 03:33, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
      • The first page of results clearly shows János-hegy as the common name, with János Hill sometimes listed as an alternative. No evidence the latter is its common name. But in any case, travel sites like this are not especially reliable sources. Guidebooks are much more reliable, and they mostly use the Hungarian name. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:59, 11 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • I'm glad we agree that there are, "there plenty of English-language sites that use Janos Hill." That really should be enough. This is the English wiki. --evrik (talk) 13:51, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
    • Yes, but that doesn't mean we translate everything into English. We use the most common name in reliable English-language sources, not random websites that come up on a Google search. Many of us native English speakers are quite capable of handling foreign names! -- Necrothesp (talk) 23:06, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
