I moved the page from Bela Bela to here considering that this place has and English name and this is the English Wikipedia (not the Tswana or Afrikaans one). Is this move contested? ChrisDHDR 15:05, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

message: I have been trying to remove the italian, dutch and German interwikis because they only have the municipality, and everytime I revert it, the bots come back. I tried fixing ALL interwikis to Warmbad/Bela Bela, and that didnt work, so I'm out of options!! Please can someone help! It seems no matter what I do the bots won't listen!! Its actually very annoying.--Bezuidenhout (talk) 18:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Excuse my ignorance here but how does the municipality differ from the town?  The content of the articles seems more or less in line. Rich Farmbrough, 23:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be the same situation as Warwick in Warwickshire, the municipality includes MULTIPLE other settlements, including the one that bears it's name. Not all SA municipalities bear the name of it's capital city, an example would be Tshwane, where there is no settlement called Tshwane.Bezuidenhout (talk) 08:24, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Numerous sources state that the name is actually  in Sotho not Tswana. How many of the sources that claim it is in Tswana got that information from Wikipedia, and what language is "Bela-Bela" actually in? Even if Tswana people discovered the springs, it would not contradict the name being in Sotho (Nothern or Southern?). Anyone have more information on this? Park3r (talk) 22:00, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Of course, other sources say it is in Tswana .Park3r (talk) 22:08, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

message: When I proposed this move some years back I was not aware of WP:OFFICIAL (or it didn’t exist). I would probably support a move back to Warmbaths if someone else felt strongly about this issue and proposed a move. I suspect that the name Bela-Bela is not in common use in English, and the main resort still uses the name Warmbaths, with good reason.Park3r (talk) 09:58, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Most recent news articles using "Warmbaths" either refer to the resort, refer to a road name, use it in parentheses, or explicitly mention it as a historical name. I see significantly greater usage of "Bela-Bela", for instance, when looking at:The evidence points towards the current name being the appropriate one per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NAMECHANGES in particular. — MarkH21talk 21:48, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
