Sagunto/Sagunt → Sagunto — A common English name exists (see Encyclopaedia Britannica Sagunto), and have to be prefered to any local name, according to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (settlements) (above all, the current name is eccentric). —Juiced lemon 13:53, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

• Support; no double titles for the sake of political correctness please; we had a strong South Tyrol precedent. According to my own Google search, "Sagunto" seems to be more common in English use (total Ghits are comparable, but ones from *uk and *au domains, as well as "sagunto spain" vs. "sagunt spain" show some 5:1 difference).

• Support any move from double name but prefer Sagunt. —  AjaxSmack  06:30, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
• Support single name. Given the balance of the article, I suspect that "Saguntum" may be as common as anything else. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 20:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
• Support, everything, but not double name. Of the two Sagunto is probably best.--Aldux 13:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

Any additional comments:

Note that the title of the Encyclopaedia Britannica article is Sagunto (above the line), and not Saguntum, which is only the Latin name of the town. --Juiced lemon 08:37, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
