Hyphenation
editCopy of discussion at WP:CFDS where I proposed renaming as follows:
- Category:Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira to Category:Oued Ed-Dahab–Lagouira – C2A per Oued Ed-Dahab–Lagouira which I just moved per WP:NDASH, because Oued Ed-Dahab Province includes a space and is being compounded with Lagouira. – Fayenatic London 21:56, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
- Category:Populated places in Oued Ed-Dahab-Lagouira to Category:Populated places in Oued Ed-Dahab–Lagouira
- I oppose the name change of the article as I'm not sure that it's correct. When there is a name for a place that combines two or more other names, only very rarely does the new new use en-dashes. For example, it "Austria-Hungary", not "Austria–Hungary", and Happy Valley-Goose Bay, not "Happy Valley–Goose Bay". The reason is because the new name is a unified place name, and not an outside-imposed combination of two separate names. (It's kind of like when someone adopts a surname that combines two other surnames: it becomes "Smith-Jones", not "Smith–Jones", because the new surname is a unified whole, not an outside-imposed combination.)
