Stadion Miejski (Białystok) → Białystok Municipal Stadium – I am submitting this request to revert the article title of the stadium in Białystok to its previous title, Białystok Municipal Stadium in light of recent actions by the user FromCzech. The move to the Polish-language title Stadion Miejski (Białystok) was made unilaterally and appears inconsistent with Wikipedia's guidelines, specifically WP:UE. This guideline encourages the use of English translations where appropriate to maintain accessibility for the global readership. FromCzech has argued for the name change without prior discussion, potentially as a reaction to a naming debate on Lokotrans Aréna that I initiated. This recent move does not reflect a consensus, and it also disrupts the established consistency within the "Football venues in Poland" category, where nearly all stadium names are translated into English. Notable examples include Father Władysław Augustynek Stadium, Gdynia Municipal Stadium, Kielce Municipal Stadium, and Raków Municipal Stadium. I urge that the title "Białystok Municipal Stadium" be restored to uphold Wikipedia’s principles of consistency and transparency, while also preventing this matter from being affected by personal disputes or editing motivated by anything other than Wikipedia's editorial standards.

Oppose. I am afraid that you misinterpreted WP:UE. As the first sentence of WP:UE says, the choice between anglicized and local spellings should follow English-language usage. Stadium names appear commonly in English-language sources (1, 2, 3, 4), so we go with what is WP:COMMONNAME, not a rough translation of the name (Białystok City Stadium is more accurate). Based on the sources, the stadium could be moved to Stadion Miejski w Białymstoku or to its current official name, Chorten Arena. So the proposed change is the worst of the possible variants. For standard names of stadiums, see other subcategories of Category:Association football venues in Europe. "Football venues in Poland" category is currently full of non-discussed moves against WP:UE and WP:COMMONNAME that will be possibly reverted and cannot be taken as a convention.

P.S.: my initial page move was not in response to Lokotrans Aréna RM – you have every right to do that and I didn't see anything wrong with you having a different opinion. You just pointed this page out in that RM. Absence of a discussion about the move is a valid reason for rollback of the move, not a personal vendetta. Sorry I didn't wait until that the Lokotrans Aréna discussion was over, but I've already apologized to you once. Also, my move was confirmed by other users, so I don't understand why you're still turning against me. FromCzech (talk) 07:31, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
