Survey[edit]

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
  • Oppose MOS:SLASH we should avoid slashes whenever possible. WP:SUBPAGE this makes the appearance of a subpage, and messes up the associated talk pages, which will assume it is a subpage. Further, per internet wide usage, this is assumed to be a subpage in URL formulations. We can replace it with a DASH, like how other jurisdictions use an mdash. WP:OFFICIALNAMES we don't just use official names because they are official -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:23, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Takarunga is a redlink, so it is available for use. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 11:24, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment A slash is allowed "where a slash occurs in a phrase widely used outside Wikipedia, and a different construction would be inaccurate, unfamiliar, or ambiguous"; and we have a precedence with Aoraki / Mount Cook. Usually in NZ the general usage rapidly follows the official name (as we saw with Aoraki / Mount Cook). Haminoon (talk) 21:29, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The Board on Geographic Names is still using "Mount Victoria" (-36.826389, 174.798889). Let's see how others deal the issue. There is no prize for being the first to change the name. Claimsworth (talk) 06:28, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Why would an American military website be more relevant than Land Information New Zealand? see:[1] Please note that Takarunga has been in use for much longer than Mt Victoria and there are no prizes for Wikipedia being slower than a colonial state to recognise it. Haminoon (talk) 07:00, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
      • Uh, because BGN is recommended in our guidelines. It's the main primary source that other geographic references are based on. This problem has come up before with India. Various name changes get gazetted, but they don't all catch on. Claimsworth (talk) 07:57, 13 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:26, 15 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
