Talk:Lenin Peak

message: I'm confused too - doesn't the Tajik text of the Decree below (Source: http://www.president.tj/qaror04_297htm.htm) say that
Qullai Lenin becomes - Qullai Abūalī ibni Sino
Qullai Revolyutsiya - Qullai Istiqlol
a third peak of 6910 m height - Qullai Abūabdulloi Rūdakī   ?
::It seems that the rename "Pik Lenina" to "Independence Peak" was incorrect. I tried to restore Pik Lenina pending clarification but I am unable to do so. I have requested admin assistance. Viewfinder 17:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have moved the article back to Lenin Peak until the name is clarified. According to my contact in Moscow, all Russian news about renaming was the same as at . We do not know why the Tajik presidential source  is contrary. Maybe the Tajik factions cannot agree, and the Russian media and Tajik president are on opposing sides...

thread_title: Article name

message: # This is English wikipedia, and the name is Lenin Peak, not "Pik Lenina".
# In nacy case, the official Tajik page has precendence over all other sources.
The true problem is Avicenna here. IMO Avicenna Peak would be wrong. It is the modern proper name of the peak, and should not be latinized: Abu Ali ibn Sina Peak or Ibn Sina Peak. Also, I don't understand the reason of hurry in the renaming of the article. THe old title may live for some time until the smoke dissolves. After all, "Lenin Peak" is the preferred English name so far. 
And by the way, a quite notable Independence Peak (1,742') is already  known in California for quite some time. `'mikka (t) 19:45, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi Mikka, thank you for your comments. In fact, English speakers usually prefer to use native names, although there are exceptions. We talk about Mont Blanc, or occasionally the Italian Monte Bianco but never Mount Blanc or White mountain. Still, this is unclear in this case and hopefully the name will be clarified soon. Re the proper name according to the Tajik site, if this is upheld, I suspect that English speakers will find "Abu Ali ibn Sina" a mouthful and difficult to remember, and that they will tend to "anglicize" it to Avicenna, which may become accepted as its correct name in English (like the English "Moscow", not "Moskva"). One way or another, a page "Independence Peak" will likely be upheld, even it refers to the old Pik Revolyutsii, and disambiguation will be necessary. Viewfinder 20:34, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to an e-mail I have just received from the author of the summitpost page, who has just summited Pik Lenin (as he still calls it), there are many names in circulation, and anyway the new Tajik names, whatever they are, will not be used by the Kyrgyz authorities. He tells me that climbers even still use the name Pik Kommunizma for the Tajik (and former USSR) HP Ismail Samani Peak. It is, after all, easier to say and remember. So I think we will be sticking with the name Lenin Peak for some time. Viewfinder 22:47, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Name selection

message: The link to the Tajikistan's President web page does not produce the referenced Presidential decrees -- either in Tajik or in Russian. They must have been removed from the database during one of the updates. Can you find a "live" reference for these important facts about peak names? --Zlerman (talk) 02:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The links http://www.president.tj/qaror04_297htm.htm and http://www.president.tj/rus/novostee_050706a.htm appeared to be OK when I accessed them a moment ago.--Holger Finken (talk) 16:12, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you! I can now see the resolution clearly (in both Taijk and Russian). It was either a false alarm on my part, or they have meanwhile fixed the links. --Zlerman (talk) 06:43, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Dead link

message: We have agreed after long debates that the name of the article stays as "Lenin Peak" from considerations of accepted usage in English, although the official name of the peak as of July 4, 2006 is Avicenna Peak (or preferably Ibn Sina Peak as some have argued -- see this talk page above). Alefbe on May 15 changed the opening sentence of the article so that we now have an article called "Lenin Peak" that starts with "Avicenna Peak (...), formerly known as Lenin Peak...". This does not look logical to me: I prefer the first sentence to start with the words "Lenin Peak" -- as in the article title -- and introduce Avicenna (or Ibn Sina) later -- as in the earlier version. 
Can we have some discussion on this? --Zlerman (talk) 02:07, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in favor of moving the page to "Avicenna Peak". In naming peaks, montains, cities, ..., the common tradition of encyclopedias (as well as news agencies) is to follow the official name. That's why we use "Chennai" and "Mumbai" for the two Indian cities (while "Madras" and "Bombai" are still more common in English books). About the old discussion, not many users have participated in that discussion (there is only one vote). I'll request the move again. I think we should be consistent with the common tradition of encyclopedias and news agencies. Alefbe (talk) 02:45, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *I strongly oppose yet another move from Lenin Peak to Avicenna Peak. We have enough confusion in en:wiki and in all the interwikis as it is. Also note the argument raised above in favor of using Ibn Sina Peak instead of Avicenna Peak. But this is not what I have put up for discussion. The question is simply one of style: is it logical to have the first sentence in an article named "Lenin Peak" start with "Avicenna Peak", as Alefbe changed on May 15? Both Avicenna Peak and Ibn Sina Peak should be mentioned in the article (and in fact they are), but what do we put for the first two words in an article named "Lenin Peak"? Lenin Peak or Avicenna Peak? Could we have some opinions on this, not just from Zlerman and Alefbe, but from other editors as well?--Zlerman (talk) 03:06, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

text: Both the names are included at the beginning. For a more concise enyclopaedic view the official name should be given as the title. The redirect also for Lenin Peak comes here. I wouldn't say it is logical to have Lenin Peak as the title. LOTRrules (talk) 17:00, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Lenin Peak=Avicenna Peak

thread_title:  Picture: trail Irkeshtam–Sary Tash (Tajikistan) 

message: The article was moved from Lenin Peak to Ibn Sina Peak without any discussion on 16:59, 21 September 2008 by a user who has since been banned indefinitely. There is no question that Lenin Peak is the more widely accepted name in English. Moreover, on a recent trip to Kyrgyzstan, I discovered that the Kyrgyz continue to refer to it as Lenin Peak (actually claiming it as theirs) and latest official maps of Kyrgyzstan show the mountain as Lenin Peak. Since the name Ibn Sina Peak comes unilaterally from Tajik legislation and reflects neither Kyrgyz views nor common English usage, I propose to move the article back from Ibn Sina Peak to Lenin Peak (with a redirect from Ibn Sina Peak to Lenin Peak). 
Please discuss below (Support/Oppose):
Lenin Peak is official name used in Kyrgystan, and this name is well known in World. So, there're no condition for change article' name to Ibn Sina Peak. Aotearoa (talk) 07:01, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Support. The Lenin peak belongs to both countries, and in Kyrgyz side it is still Lenin peak, İ'm gonna change the name from 
ibn sina peak to lenin peak.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.187.171.152 (talk) 10:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
