Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo → Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium – Per WP:USEENGLISH, the common name in English language sources is Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium e.g. CAF, France 24 (English). Joseph2302 (talk) 16:56, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

- Comment - Despite WP:USEENGLISH is clear, I'd like to point out that googling the French name generates more search results (over one million) than the English name (roughly less than two hundred thousands). Also, the majority of stadiums located in Category:Football venues in Cameroon are in French, while only six stadiums (five of them are venues for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations) uses the English name.

- Oppose. The names of sites in French-speaking countries do not have to be translated to English for the sake of it. Very commonly seen in its native form in English-language sources. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:24, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
- Weak support – the reliable English-language sources are somewhat divided, but my searches suggest that the majority do translate it. Our titles seem to be quite inconsistent in this regard, so the English-language common name is probably best. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:52, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
