Imelletty perunalaatikkoSweetened potato casserole – I propose moving the article back to sweetened potato casserole. Even though this is a typical Finnish dish, in Finnish "imelletty perunalaatikko" is not any kind of proper name, instead it literally means "sweetened potato casserole". So therefore since this is the English Wikipedia, it should use the English term. JIP | Talk 14:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC) JIP | Talk 14:31, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

  • Opppose It's a Finnish dish with a Finnish name where it is best known under that name. I don't see the need for translation. Peter Isotalo 22:51, 25 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose Plenty of dishes' foreign names just describe them, sauerkraut, coq-au-vin, chili con carne, pasta al pomodoro, and many, many more. Just because Finnish is a more obscure language is no reason to discriminate, see wp:systemicbias. walk victor falk talk 16:55, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. Not everything needs translating, especially to a name that makes it sound like an unappetising chemical experiment. Just because the name means that in Finnish doesn't mean we need to translate it. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:53, 30 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
