Talk:Mallorca

message: Who defines what a 'local' language is? Spanish is, by far, the widest native languaje of the Mallorca population. Hence, I do not think saying that catalan is the local language is correct. Should be considered to be removed or fixed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.31.130.214 (talk) 01:24, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: MOVED Supporters overall argued that the English-language sources were split, and so to go with consistency with Menorca. (non-admin closure) Galobtter (pingó mió) 10:00, 1 June 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Majorca →  – Mostly to be consistent with Menorca. I'm surprised no one requested this move given the tons of ink spilled at Minorca/Menorca, but the rationale is as strong here as it was there (i.e., not super strong, but arguable). Here are some 21st-century comparisons for "Majorca is" vs. "Mallorca is":Google Books since 2001:Majorca - 952Mallorca - 768Google Scholar since 2010:Majorca - 229Mallorca - 629Google News since 2010:Majorca - 2,700Mallorca - 2,320An ngram through 2008 is largely inconclusive.Sources are super split. To be honest, I probably wouldn't support this move if presented on its own. Given last year's move of Menorca, however, I find that consistency, though the lowliest of title considerations, is nonetheless enough of a reason to make this move.

Now that it's been moved, the instances of Majorca within the article should be changed to Mallorca (except for the very first instance in the lead). --184.248.216.137 (talk) 21:35, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

text: I broke off the 2 sentences in the lead to be the Etymology section, as the topic is not otherwise discussed in the main body if article. Given all the discussion above, perhaps some explanation of the two spellings could be added to Etymology. - - Prairieplant (talk) 15:03, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

Besides the reason most commonly given to move the article to 'Mallorca' in the first place was 'consistency with Menorca'. This is irrelevant because: 
A) Wikipedia uses the most common name; whether or not it is consistent doesn’t always matter. 
B) A lot of English sources Majorca and Menorca together such as the BBC article I have referenced.  Ale3353 (talk) 15:39, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

* Oppose. Moved here 3 years ago, cherry-picked sources in the nomination are unimpressive. Evidence presented by Bait30 as well as in the previous RM suggests that both names are in similar circulation, so the consistency argument pulls a significant weight. And WP:TITLECHANGES.
