	So, I have a question, since there seems to be no policy that I could find and this seems like the place: How do we name pages relating to unidentified individuals? A few have titles, so that's fairly straight forward; others have a specification/profession and a date or while others just have profession/specification. What's the standard that should be used? -- [[User:Zero-ELEC\|Zero-ELEC]] ([[User talk:Zero-ELEC\|talk]]) 21:23, July 21, 2015 (UTC)		So, I have a question, since there seems to be no policy that I could find and this seems like the place: How do we name pages relating to unidentified individuals?

	:I agree with Sima, if something is commonly known by its name in another language even in English, it's probably a good idea to use that name...

	I had a question. So I know that the rule is to have the english name and then the native name in between brackets. I'd already asked about what should be done in case of the lack of an english name - "the next big thing" feels a bit ambiguous. Anyways, my worry was this: the landmark has an english equivalent, but it's almost never used. [[Palais-Royal]] for instance. Should I have named the article "Royal Palace" instead, even though nobody calls it as such? Similarly, [[Basilica Menor de San Francisco de Asis]], should that have been "basilica and monastery of San Francisco de Asis"? {{User:Crookandcharlatan/sig}} 16:40, July 21, 2015 (UTC)		I had a question.

	See [[Forum:Naming landmarks]]. And if no English form exist then you just stick to the next best thing, of course. As for those quotes I always use the second form myself since it's more indicative that the quote focuses on 'observing something important', than on Aveline de Grandpré, who just happens to be 'observing something important'. I think it's more about what the focus of a particular quote is on than something that must be the same for all quotes. -- {{User:Master Sima Yi/sig}} 12:06, March 1, 2015 (UTC)		See [[Forum:Naming landmarks]].
