– For this article, I think it's a case of WP:OFFICIAL vs WP:COMMONNAME. First, to clarify some info:

  • In Arabic, the stadium's official name is (ستاد مصر الدولي بالعاصمة الإدارية الجديدة), which translates to Misr International Stadium in the New Administrative Capital.
  • The short official name is (ستاد مصر), and translates to Misr Stadium or Stadium of Egypt in English.
  • The common name used is (ستاد العاصمة الإدارية الجديدة), which translates to the New Administrative Capital Stadium.

By googling all three suitable names (Misr Stadium, Stadium of Egypt, and New Administrative Capital Stadium), we will get 278,000 vs 71,800,000 vs 30,900,000 results, respectively, with the second one generally showing results for all stadiums in Egypt and other results not related to the stadium itself; making the latter option the most suitable title for this article. Note that this was the original title of the article, but another user moved it to Misr Stadium, and I didn't want to revert that move without reaching consensus here first.

Regarding the second request, it's for a simple removal of quotation marks from the title. I tried doing it myslef, but I wasn't allowed to. This one might qualify to WP:RM#SPEEDY. Ben5218 (talk) 00:20, 23 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

name edit

Hello

the name in Arabic Wikipedia is ستاد مصر, which means Egypt Stadium. The facility is just opened in March 2024, still not recognized. But this is the name in Egypt. Thanks Crimsonalfred2022 (talk) 01:28, 1 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hello. While is it true that the official name can be translated in English to Egypt Stadium, Stadium of Egypt or Misr Stadium, the common name used in English sources is the New Administrative Capital Stadium, and per the discussion held few days ago, we decided that it's the best name for this article, at least at the moment, per WP:COMMONNAME.
