=== Towers of Paine → Torres del Paine ===
*Much better known by their Spanish name, even when being discussed in English. Torres del Paine has a history of just 2 redirects. sjorford 13:14, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have no objection to the move as stated, so long as "National Park" is included in the title, but it was I who moved the article from "Torres del Paine" and would be opposed to moving it back. There is much more there than the actual towers. I do not think a separate article is needed, but if the article is to be extended to the entire park then it may have to be amended.

replies: text: **Agree with the move. This article talks primarily about the national park, and should not be redirected to "Cordillera del Paine" that is just a geologic formation inside the park. Cordillera del Paine should then also have its own article or section. Dentren | Talk 03:20, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

message: *After reviewing more in depth the English Wikipedia, I determined that there are not more articles on Torres del Paine, hence I think "Cordillera del Paine" should be moved to "Torres del Paine National Park". The Paine Massif is the main attraction of the park, but the park is much more than that. Although given the importance of the "Cordillera del Paine", it may be convenient to create a new article on "Torres del Paine National Park", preserve the present article and fix the redirects.

replies: text: John Biggar told me it was not named after any individual. It is pronounced "pine" (as in the tree) but with the e pronounced, not mute. Viewfinder (talk) 06:21, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: According to a book I have read ("Top Treks of the World"  ) the name meant "blue" in the local aboriginal language (possibly mapuche?) and yes, it is pronounced with a "short E" sound at the end since it would be the Spanish rendition of the aboriginal word, and Spanish has no silent E. --Ozhiker (talk) 13:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
