Talk:Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques

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 NO CONSENSUS to move page, per discussion below. I did some googling, and it appears that "INSEE" is 20-40 times more common on English language webpages than the full English name. (The numbers vary depending on how many filters you use, but it's on the order of 400,000 versus 10,000.) It appears that "INSEE" is quite common in English sources, so the article should be alright at its current title. -GTBacchus^(talk) 06:51, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

• INSEE → National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies — Two reasons. The first is that it is an initialism and we generally don't use those for naming articles per WP:NCA. The second is that articles about French stuff on the English wikipedia should be in English, title included unless the French name is of common use in English. --Bob 23:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Survey - Support votes

• Support as nominator. --Bob 23:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, the official website for this institute gives its name in the English form on its website. Also, other stats institutes from other countries, known in their respective languages, are already translated to their english forms here on wikipedia. e.g. National Institute of Statistics (Portugal), Federal Statistical Office of Germany and National Institute of Statistics (Spain).

Actually, I just reverted the rather recent change to Portugal and Spain. --Nelson Ricardo 05:27, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

• Support but will withdraw it if evidence of overwhelming English usage of "INSEE" is presented. The official institute site's English page uses "National Institute for Statistics and Economic Studies" displayed prominently at the top of the page (see here). —  AjaxSmack  07:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Survey - Oppose votes

• Oppose. It is known as the INSEE, no reason to anglicize its name. Translation is given in the article. Nobody would have the idea of googling "National Institute...". Lapaz 16:40, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
• Oppose I agree with Lapaz. It makes no sense to use its English name when its English name is not commonly used. GassyGuy 05:01, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

pronunciation

The given pronunciation, [inse], is neither French nor English. Can someone correct? kwami 01:08, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly what do you mean. In French, the abbreviation INSEE is pronounced [inse]. Korg (talk) 03:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

So it's not [ɛ̃se] as the spelling would suggest, but rather like inesé? kwami 04:20, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. The pronunciation [ɛ̃se] would make think of "1C" instead. :) Korg (talk) 05:01, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Census

I've been trying to look this up, but can find no answer here on Wiki. Does the INSEE conduct French censuses? Does France have regularly scheduled censuses? --Criticalthinker (talk) 06:50, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Yes, France has regularly scheduled censuses conducted by the INSEE in partnership with communes ([1], [2]). More information can be found on the French Wikipedia: fr:Recensement de la population#Le recensement en France, fr:Recensement de la population en France, fr:Histoire du recensement de la population en France.
