Requested move 11 February 2022[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Not Moved Mike Cline (talk) 14:37, 19 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Nikollë Bojaxhiu → Nikola Bojaxhiu – I propose that this page be renamed to 'Nikola Bojaxhiu', in line with WP:COMMONNAME. Overwhelmingly, independent and reliable English-language sources refer to him as 'Nikola' and not 'Nikollë'. For example and not limited to:^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]. ElderZamzam (talk) 02:20, 11 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Some users don't spell his name correctly in Albanian, that's not a reason to move the article to another version just because some foreign authors can't be bothered to use Albanian spelling correctly. Botushali (talk) 12:29, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose There are many other English sources that use the correct spelling, Nikollë (Nikolle, Nikolla). A few sources that use Nikola do not prove a WP:COMMONNAME case. Uniacademic (talk) 18:38, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose There are sources that misspell it as "Nikola", and there are others that write it as it was, Nikolle (some examples [1][2][3][4]). Nikola is not the common name, that's for sure. Excine (talk) 21:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant quote[edit]

Why is this quote on this article? It has nothing to do with Nikolle Bojaxhiu.

"Mother Teresa had once said: “By blood, I am Albanian. By citizenship, an Indian. By faith, I am a Catholic nun. As to my calling, I belong to the world. As to my heart, I belong entirely to the heart of Jesus.”" 2600:1700:BC01:9B0:8C7A:7D97:56E1:BF7F (talk) 00:54, 18 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
