Talk:Santiago Stock Exchange

Article name[edit]

Current name includes a misspelled word. It should be "Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago" instead of "Bolsa de Comércio de Santiago". See e.g. the article in Spanish. (I tried to fix this by moving, but couldn't – an administrator is needed to do it.)

However, as this is the English-language Wikipedia, wouldn't the best name for the article be Santiago Stock Exchange? --Jonik (talk) 20:38, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the misspelled Spanish. In my view, we should be using "Santiago Stock Exchange" if and only if that is the name reliable English-language sources use for it. Ucucha 02:55, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Here are some findings:

Markets on NYTimes.com: "Trading on Santiago Stock Exchange"
Yahoo! Finance: List of covered exchanges includes "Santiago Stock Exchange"
Financial Times markets data: Company search results: "Santiago Stock Exchange"

To me it is pretty obvious that "Santiago Stock Exchange" is the correct name for this article. But I leave it to others to determine if these are reliable enough sources, or if there are many counter-examples of using the Spanish name in English-language context. --Jonik (talk) 12:50, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That looks persuasive. I suggest you open a full requested move, which gives other editors a week to comment and find other sources. Ucucha 13:00, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Bolsa de Comercio de Santiago → Santiago Stock Exchange — I think the commonly used English-language name would be better for English-language Wikipedia. See comments in "Article name" section of the talk page. — Relisting Ronhjones ^(Talk) 00:45, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is a company name, and it is not the job of Wikipedia to invent a translation of that name. To justify a move, evidence is required that this is customary English usage in prose. None has been forthcoming. Skinsmoke (talk) 09:36, 7 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. The evidence Skinsmoke demands is listed above. Ucucha 17:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Oppose. A redirect solves any issue, but Wikipedia isn't consistent about this. Compare Frankfurt Stock Exchange with BM&F Bovespa and Borsa Italiana and Bolsa de Madrid. THF (talk) 04:41, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support. In addition to the sources already listed, I've posted some more English sources that use "Santigo Stock Exchange". Some do so even when acknowledging Bolsa as an alternate. This shows that editors of those reliable sources, in particular, are well aware of the Spanish name, but still prefer an English translation. Wikipedia should descriptively follow their lead.

Support per the post above. English wiki = English language = English names. Flamarande (talk) 19:49, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
