Talk:Breuil-Cervinia

Rename this page

This page should be renamed, as in all other wikipedias (in other languages), into "Breuil-Cervinia", the official name of this frazione-hameau of Valtournenche. --Simoncik84 (talk) 15:53, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Obviously you are correct and, since it is highly unlikely that anyone will raise any objection, I have moved it. —Ian Spackman (talk) 08:48, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, well done. --Simoncik84 (talk) 18:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Origin of the name Cervinia

@Simoncik84 regarding the origin of the name Cervinia: I think only the Italian etymology is revenant here. The name was chosen by the Italian Fascist government so the French etymology is irrelevant. Why do you think the French etymology is relevant? {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 11:01, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

Breuil-Cervinia → Le Breuil, Aosta Valley – The autonomous region of Aosta Valley has changed the official name of this frazione (hamlet) to Le Breuil through a regional decree (Decreto 21 settembre 2023, n. 479, p.3433) in September 2023, bringing it back to its pre-fascist spelling. Since the name Le Breuil is shared between other francophone municipalities (in France), Aosta Valley at the end of the article title seems to be compliant with WP:PLACE and WP:CONSISTENT with similar locations (i.e. Châtillon, Aosta Valley). This doesn't affect the commercial name of the ski station, which will remain Cervinia, and which could theoretically be split from the article, given that Cervinia (the ski station) is not a CFORK of the article about the village of Le Breuil.

• Comment this is just a WP:OFFICIALNAMES argument, Wikipedia does not follow official names just because they're official. Is there any evidence for WP:NAMECHANGES showing a new WP:COMMONNAME? Otherwise in absence of this, would consider opposing. DankJae 18:59, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

Oppose, no evidence provided to support WP:NAMECHANGES. DankJae 22:13, 16 February 2024 (UTC)

• Support it's cited in the article - source. There is no evidence Breuil-Cervinia is the common name either, especially as the name Breuil-Cervinia is a fusion of two terms, one from French, one from Italian. Abcmaxx (talk) 18:07, 17 February 2024 (UTC)
• Support as per nom. --Gerrit ^CUTEDH 09:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
• I only just saw this but obviously this should be opposed. A simple google trends check shows how unused and uncommon the Le Breuil name is [[1]]. This actually started a well reported "row" in Italy over the name change Row flares up over Mussolini-era name of the world-famous Italian ski resort of Cervinia. I don't think this move with just 2 supports had enough consensus here. It is a perfect example of WP:COMMONNAME not being applied correctly. Breuil-Cervinia is the correct name to keep here @User:BD2412. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 22:41, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Just to point out the absurdity of all of this: "After 24 hours, Maquignaz no longer wanted to change the name either. The former mayor said there was a "misunderstanding". He did not think that the name 'Cervinia' would be cancelled: "We just wanted to reaffirm a historical toponym, which is the one we use in dialect". [...] Even the mayor Elisa Cicco admitted that "no one wanted to cancel the name Cervinia". "It is our brand, our brand by which we are known throughout the world," she said. Cicco has now "restarted the process for redefining the toponym" with the president of the Aosta Region.".[2] This should obviously be restored. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 22:45, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

The discussion was open for five weeks, which is five times as long as RM discussions are usually held open. The nominator always counts as being in favor of the proposal, so that yields a three-to-one majority during the much-extended time for discussion, which is clearly sufficient to support consensus. BD2412 T 23:03, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Yes, however it was a poor discussion. The participation was minimal and WP:NOTVOTE applies. The arguments "for" are rather poor and lack evidence of any kind. The arguments "against" seem much stronger given WP:COMMONNAME and the fact that even the citizens themselves didn't want to change the name and want to restore it. Nobody calls it "Le Breuil". This was basically a bureaucratic mistake by the regional administration that lumped the change with many other name changes. So what should we do here @BD2412? {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 23:22, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

My proposal would be to revert the move and "relist" the move discussion and wait for others to chime in. Although given the source I provided above I don't see how the move can be supported. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 23:30, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

If any more evidence was needed here: we basically made it impossible for users to find this page: https://pageviews.wmcloud.org/?project=en.wiki.x.io&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&range=latest-365&pages=Le_Breuil,_Aosta_Valley%7CBreuil-Cervinia traffic to the page has dropped to 0 from around 100-200 page views a day. Nobody is reading it anymore because nobody can find it! {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 23:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Breuil-Cervinia still redirects here. The move can not have made the page any harder to find, because both titles still work. BD2412 T 23:40, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Google doesn't care about the redirects. Once the new page title is indexed nobody finds it anymore. How do we fix this? {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 23:56, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Here are the Google books results for Cervinia vs Le Breuil. The first has tens of pages relevant to Cervinia (books on skiing etc.), the second doesn't even return any relevant results (Le Breuil is a generic French toponym that means "enclosure where game is kept"). {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 00:10, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

The more I read this the funnier it gets: the source we have in the article (In Italian) next to the text In April 2023, the municipal council of Valtournenche adopted the reviewed list of toponyms submitted by the regional commission on toponyms of the Aosta Valley autonomous region in a 10-0 vote, sending it for final review to the presidency of the region.[3] is actually an analysis of the fact that the local administrators that voted in favour (10 unanimous votes) have claimed they had no idea about what they were voting for and were completely taken aback when the name was officially changed and are now trying to get it back to the correct name.

Oh and by the way: the name change has been officially cancelled in December. It was just a short lived mistake: [4][5] so this move doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The official name is now "Le Breuil-Cervinia". {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 00:24, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

This is factually incorrect. The official name is not currently "Le Breuil-Cervinia", but Le Breuil per regional legislation, which unless amended or stricken is in full effect. The report from the municipal council session of March 2024 indicates that "the requested toponym will be Breuil-Cervinia", further indicating that the toponym has not reverted back to its previous form. Il Post writes that it will take a year to go through the redesignation process. Pilaz (talk) 15:34, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

The sources seem to contradict each other (e.g. [6] this one explicitly states the new name will be Le Breuil-Cervinia). The Il Post source is the best quality one to use though and the primary source from the council session confirms that the name change is in progress and will be reverted to just Breuil-Cervinia [7]. Nice catch thanks for the correction @Pilaz {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 17:18, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Relisting for clearer consensus. BD2412 T 00:35, 16 March 2024 (UTC)

I've expanded the section on the name change to clear things up. Most sources are in Italian unfortunately. I have also slightly changed the name in the lede and in the infobox to include the "Le" that they added in the new official name since it is just a small variation. {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  ^talk 12:31, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
