Requested move 1 March 2020

edit
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: no consensus. Focusing on policy-based arguments, and noting that consensus does not depend on a head count, there seems to be no clear agreement as to the most commonly used name in English-language sources.

  • Support per WP:COMMONNAME. As well as being used on the English.language version of the official website (here), it appears to be the most common name in English-language guides to Helsinki, and so on. I note we have the English-language redirect Finnish Cable Works. 94.21.238.148 (talk) 05:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose: kaapelitehdas helsinki gives me 327,000 google hits and "cable factory" helsinki gives 47,000 so on my reading of the WP:COMMONNAME criteria, Kaapelitehdas is a better fit in terms of conciseness, precision, recognisability and naturalness. Qua consistency, i don't know what's best. The TEH link hedges its bets and calls it Kaapelitehdas / Cable factory (and this page needs more links). Mujinga (talk) 19:03, 4 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
But with that search (I got "about 376,000" for kaapelitehdas helsinki), a lot of them are in Finnish. I searched for kaapelitehdas helsinki english and got "about 172,000" results, but even then three of the top ten were in Finnish. So it's less clear to me what the common English language name is.Same editor as IP above 94.21.219.87 (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
