Łazienki Bridge

Since this bridge is named after Łazienki Park and the Łazienki Palace, I propose that it be named that way in this article: "Łazienki Bridge." Nihil novi (talk) 02:52, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Oppose. See Talk:Siekierkowski Bridge, the same argument applies here.--Jotel (talk) 08:05, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

We are agreed that "Łazienki Bridge" is the proper English rendering. Why not give the bridge and this article their proper name, "Łazienki Bridge," and refer readers from the term "Łazienkowski Bridge?" The reader then finds the article—which would be under its proper name. Why perpetuate mistranslations? Nihil novi (talk) 17:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

WP should record, and use, the commonly used name(s): When a widely accepted English name, in a modern context, exists for a place, we should use it, see WP:NCGN. 'Lazienki/Siekierki Bridge' simply are not used, no matter what purists-linguists may think. In my (not so humble) opinion it would be pointless to explain fine points of Polish grammar in the article on a bridge, readers do not come to the Łazienkowski Bridge article to learn about adjectival forms of Polish nouns.
And, if this discussion is to continue, it would make sense to do so in one place only: it's the same point concerning two articles, so let's keep everything in one place. --Jotel (talk) 08:13, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
