Requested move

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was move. —Nightst a llion (?) 08:31, 28 February 2006 (UTC) Dora Bakoyianni → Dora Bakoyannis – This is the English spelling used by the subject as wel as the Greek Foreign Ministry and news agencies in Greece. This should be a "speedy move" but Dora Bakoyannis already exists[reply]

Support for the reasons above. See the Greek Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Athens News Agency to see that Dora Bakoyannis is correct. Damac 13:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's just a "redirect". It shouldn't be an issue at all. --Kimonandreou 21:22, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just a redirect. A redirect would involve cutting and pasting the article to the other page which would mean that the page's history would be lost and that's contrary to Wikipedia policy.--Damac 21:56, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should we change the name of Bakoyanni? Greek feminine names typically do not end in s, the letter is dropped. -Alexius Comnenus

Bakoyannis or Bakoyanni?

Hello, I am Greek and I have to say that "Dora Bakoyannis" sounds awfully wrong. Not only it sounds wrong, it *is* grammatically wrong as well.

Since that issue was already discussed and consensus was reached I can't really support moving the article again. I guess we have to respect the "official" (?) latinization of the name, as presented on the website of the Greek Ministry for Foreign Affairs. However, I can't help but wonder how they thought that "Dora Bakoyannis" is better than "Dora Bakoyanni". Whoever thought that should be shot. 77.49.197.194 (talk) 15:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think that "Bakoyanni" is the correct since she is not for example a Greek-American in order to keep the 's' at the end of her surname. - Sthenel (talk) 20:42, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree. Please note that the reference to the website of the Greek Ministry of Foreign Affairs is probably written by the person whom this page refers to, or someone in her close political environment. In my opinion this fact is against Wikimedia foundation's philosophy and should be corrected in future revisions of this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giorgos.momferratos (talk • contribs) 10:35, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Names don't change across language boundaries. If someone is called Michael Jackson you won't say in greek that his name is Μιχάλης Γιαγκόπουλος (Mihalis Ghiagkopoulos) you will at most spell it in greek (like Μάικλ Τζάκσον). This, I think, comes from American Greeks. Since Dora Bakoyanni is not an American-Greek this is rather peculiar. Think of calling Anna Kournikova something like Anna Kournikov (!) and you see my point. [30/11/2009]

Needs to be updated and enhanced

There is a lot of work to be done, it is an imporant article and should have so much more.

Agree to the above

Yeah, so much is going on right now and she is the key person in the historic events unfolding in Greece at the moment. It's rather a poor article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.37.116.3 (talk) 23:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SHould be expaaaanded

It needs to have more - seriously, no Macedonia mentions? Seriously? Seriously? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hawk08210 (talk • contribs) 00:31, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is Bakoyanni not Bakoyannis

Bakoyanni is the female of Bakoyannis. The only occasion the female surname is the same to the male one is when the person Greek of the Diaspora,which in that case she isn't. Revisionist 01 (talk) 22:24, 27 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My first reaction was the same. However, on her facebook page, her name is Bakoyannis. It seems like this is the version she prefers.
