East-Finnmark → Øst-Finnmark – I think it's common practice to keep the original name, like in Sør-Varanger, unless of course a widely accepted English name exists. – Danmichaelo (talk) 16:21, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
- Support Per WP:UE which states "If there are too few reliable English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject (German for German politicians, Portuguese for Brazilian towns, and so on)" and per WP:EN#No established usage in English-language sources which states "It can happen that an otherwise notable topic has not yet received much attention in the English-speaking world, so that there are too few sources in English to constitute an established usage....If this happens, follow the conventions of the language in which this entity is most often talked about (German for German politicians, Turkish for Turkish rivers, Portuguese for Brazilian municipalities etc.) There has been nowhere near enough coverage in English using a translated name to justify our usage of it. AusLondonder (talk) 05:44, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- Support per precedent. Geschichte (talk) 21:29, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
- Support. Slavish translation is not mandated by WP:UE. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:19, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
- Support per nom. "East hyphen Finnmark" is not English anyway. — AjaxSmack 00:54, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
