Article naming

Policy may be different in the Swedish Wikipedia, but in the English Wikipedia the article naming policy is at WP:COMMONNAME, which says "... it generally prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources." The English language source in Rower woman, used to reference the title in the lede, uses that term. --David Biddulph (talk) 04:22, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

I confess I did not have that much knowledge in policy: I saw there was an English link, but I seem to remember that link acknowledged that "rower woman" was but one version of the name, signifying that you could use another version, which made me think that if there were several different versions permissible, then you could use the one most resembling the Swedish word for it - as far as I know (I could be wrong), this subject is not much known in the English speaking world at all, and the title Rower woman, aside from having a different meaning in Swedish, is hard to distinguish as specific for this subject. Is this subject very much known and the title for it established as the only and most known title for the subject in English? If several versions of the name is known for the subject in English, then perhaps the title which is more specific and resemble the original most could be used? Is it the only version used for the subject in English? There was only one English language reference. Does that say that this is the only version of the name? --Aciram (talk) 14:45, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

Naturally if other English language sources are added to the article, these could be used in helping to determine the WP:common name. In the meantime, a redirect exists from the title which you proposed. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:08, 23 November 2015 (UTC)

That is true enough! I agree, for the meantime. --Aciram (talk) 15:21, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
