Banate of Severin → Banat of Severin – Per WP:COMMONNAME. 1450 vs 102 Google Books hits. relisted--Mike Cline (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2012 (UTC) Dobitocilor (talk) 08:28, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

I guess you have misstyped and you want to move the article to "Banat of Severin" (without the "e"). I can agree with this. KœrteFa {ταλκ} 08:54, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

LOL, yes, thanks for the observation, I've made the correction. I am not that crazy yet to propose the change of the current name with itself Dobitocilor (talk)

• Oppose, I think this was a banate, not a part of Banat. Pinut (talk) 15:44, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

• Reply "banat" and "banate" are synonims, but banat is more often used. See Ban (title) and this: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/banat "banat (plural banats) The territory governed by a ban." The name of the region Banat comes from Banat of Temeswar 79.117.219.199 (talk) 15:57, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
• I also think that they are synonims. Why do you think, Pinut, that they are different? KœrteFa {ταλκ} 09:31, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

• Support: Banat of Severin is indeed much more common in the relevant literature. --RJFF (talk) 09:45, 5 April 2012 (UTC)
• Support; more commonly used and closer to the original term. If we really wanted to anglicise, I would suggest going the whole hog and calling it a "principality" or whatever. I would point out that "Banat" as a specific name is just another case where a general term for a type of territory in the Balkans has got recycled into a name for a specific territory; see also Herzegovina, Sandžak, Banovina, Vojvodina, ... or even, a little further afield, Ukraine. bobrayner (talk) 12:25, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
