Akeanon/Aklanon

Hi Rvat2003! Just to let you know, I have preliminary changed all instances of "Akeanon" as an English designation back to "Aklanon". The text has to align with the article title, and for a change from Aklanon to Akeanon you will need to get community consensus. I have contested the move because I don't see that Akeanon has signficantly has taken over Aklanon in English language texts (both scholarly and non-scholarly sources).

Akeanon undoubtedly has loong been the preferred spelling when writing the language natively, but this is about the WP:COMMONNAME in sources written in English. I have checked if for example Philippine news media sites consistently have switched from "Aklanon" to "Akeanon", and also Google Scholar, but I can't see that "Akeanon" outweighs "Aklanon". Even some authors from UP continue to use "Aklanon", so I don't see much potential for a move based on WP:COMMONNAME at this time. But of course feel free to initiate a move discussion per WP:RM#CM, I can help you with the technicalities even when I don't agree with the proposal. Just keep in mind that the onus to prove the shift in usage lies with the requester, so you should ideally collect some quantitative evidence for a significant shift in usage. (Btw, Youtube channels like "Ilovelanguages" don't count much in WP, especially that channel that has a history of poor content and even once (probably unknowingly) promoting a hoax.)

I'm so sorry. I was meaning to edit a small part but my tab froze and it made a bad edit instead. Rvat2003 (talk) 04:17, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

• If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
• If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. i2n2z 04:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
