I suggest the page is renamed Dachau Military Tribunal. This is more accurate,as the beginning of the article notes the tribunal was not International but controlled only by the US. This naming error is repeated in the Trench language stub but does not appear in the German language version. Barliner 11:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

Dachau International Military Tribunal→ Dachau Military Tribunal — {{{2}}} —Barliner 12:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey

Feel free to state your position on the renaming proposal by beginning a new line in this section with *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''', then sign your comment with ~~~~. Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

• Support: It appears that the official name for the trials at the time didn't involve "Military Tribunal" with or without "International". See transcripts at War Crimes Office (1948). Case Number 6-24 (US vs. Valentin Bersin et al). U.S. Army Trial Reviews and Recommendations. United States Department of War. Retrieved on 2006-12-18., where the court is called "Military Commission" or "General Military Government Court at Dachau, Germany". Thus I don't think either the present Wikipedia title or the proposed one without "International" will make a big difference for readers. Present Wikipedia articles link to existing and proposed titles (through a redirect). If the change is made, there certainly should be a redirect from the old name to the new one. --Jdlh | Talk 18:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
• Support: But perhaps Dachau camp Trials is more in keeping with other wikipedia entries eg Mathausen 82.22.139.25 19:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
• Support: The report of the US Senate Committee on the Malmedy Massacre Trial also uses the wording "General Military Government Court"^[1] and never speaks about a "International military Tribunal". --Lebob-BE 10:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
