Request to move to Székely Region

Skyhighway (talk) 14:23, 27 September 2018 (UTC)

But the usual English translation of Székelyföld is "Szekely Land". The article name should stay as it is. Maproom (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
Foeld means Earth. It refers to a region. The article should be moved. Skyhighway (talk) 17:42, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
The Hungarian word (properly: föld), have multiple meaning and may be used in multiple contexts. Especially the English word Land is totally proper and synonimous with, while the English word region in Hungarian is régió. I don't see either any reason to move the article and I did not met with such English naming in common like Székely region.(KIENGIR (talk) 20:40, 27 September 2018 (UTC))
It is more neutral in the context to name it as region. 'régió' on your language. Skyhighway (talk) 04:11, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Oppose In English literature it is Szekely Land or Szeklerland. I wonder what the main purpose of this proposal is ( the word "land" bothers the ears of the Romanian nationalists?). Fakirbakir (talk) 16:01, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Oppose. Reliable sources published in English refer to this historical region as "land". Borsoka (talk) 17:51, 28 September 2018 (UTC)
  • Support. In order to reply to Fakirbakir above (the word "land" bothers the ears of the Hungarian nationalists that you don't support ROMA AUTONOMY in HUNGARY? They represent 10% in Hungary. Skyhighway (talk) 05:38, 29 September 2018 (UTC)
