National Auditorium → Auditorio Nacional – WP:COMMON, see here,here, here, and here Keizers (talk) 19:03, 6 March 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. Dekimasuよ! 06:35, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose – Auditorio Nacional is the Spanish name, but this is the English Wikipedia so the English name should be used per WP:ENGLISH. AgWoolridge (talk) 04:49, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, that's not how it works. The English translation is not automatically the common name. See WP:UE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:46, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support, but to Auditorio Nacional (Mexico) as target is a dab page. Surprisingly the local name appears to be the more common English common name. "the national auditorium is" gets only 2 borderline magazine results while "Auditorio Nacional is" gets 4 in slightly better sources. Likewise in Gnews 2 for Spanish name vs zero mentions, only English for National Auditorium (Cape Verde). In ictu oculi (talk) 09:11, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Hahaha, why is that surprising to you? With the exception of some truly global landmarks like the Eiffel Tower or the Coliseum, we use the local name, e.g. Museo del Prado in Madrid, Musée d'Orsay in Paris, etc. Keizers (talk) 19:27, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well it isn't surprising, it was lightly ironic. :) In ictu oculi (talk) 20:58, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
