Lago di Mezzola → Lake Mezzola – How does this article meet WP:COMMONNAME, several large lakes in Italy make use of the name in English; why does this lake and some others remain in Italian?

I will like an editor to share me the link to Italian naming conventions on Wikipedia for geographic articles. Jõsé^hola 08:07, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose. Doesn't commonly seem to be seen in translation. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:03, 14 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose. A few large Italian lakes do indeed have exonyms in English – Lake Garda, Trasimene, which others? – as do some other large geographic features including one river that I can think of (Tiber) and a handful of major cities. Smaller places are more commonly called by their actual names. Our policy on this is at WP:UE. The Lago di Mezzola is particularly often called by that name in English because it forms part of an important wetland reserve, the Riserva Naturale Pian di Spagna e Lago di Mezzola. Some other sources that call it by its real name are:

Lonely Planet
The Blue Guide, 1927 (NB "... Lago di Mezzola, separated from the Lake of Como ...")
The Rough Guide to the Italian Lakes
Encyclopaedia Brittanica, 1895
