Current discussion is at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (use English). This page is too long anyway.
Please discuss naming issues here that relate to the use of Anglicized spelling/name vs. Ethnically "correct" spelling/name of articles. A central wikipedia naming convention is to use the Anglicized form in almost every situation for articles in the English wikipedia. Alternate names/spellings should be mentioned in the first line of the anglicized article and redirected to that article.
