Central Bank of Lebanon → Banque du Liban — In the Bank's website [1] it clearly self-identifies as Banque du Liban. —Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 02:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Support - Per cited source (It's an English website too) Reginmund 06:18, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Support. Google gives twice as many English language hits for Banque du Liban, so as well as being the official name it seems to be (even more importantly) the common English name too. Andrewa 21:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Concur, per WP:MOS. If "Central Bank of Lebanon" (and "Bank of Lebanon" for that matter) can be sourced as common English-language alternatives, they should redirect to Banque du Liban. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 22:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
