Wikipedia:WikiProject Belgium/Brussels naming conventions

For naming articles relating to Brussels, please take into account that:

  1. Brussels is an officially bilingual city with French and Dutch sharing an equal place;
  2. Although originally Dutch-speaking, Brussels is now majority French-speaking; making the language issue a sensitive matter (see Frenchification of Brussels for further details).
  3. The naming should follow the most common usage in English (see WP:NC).
  4. In addition to neutrality, readability is important.
  5. These guidelines reflect a consensus in order to reduce disputes.
