Requested move 17 September 2021

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus is not a vote. Per WP:NCGAL, Use official names in article titles. We must consider almost always known by...[a] different title in light of WP:NAMECHANGES. The Council of Europe announcement linked below uses only the new name. Since the agency's native title is in Norweigan, WP:NCGAL favors English-language translations; the translation of the name used by the Norweigan language sources post rename linked below is Norweigan Parliamentary Ombud. If I am unaware of significant additional information not discussed in this RM, please feel free to inform me of such information, and I will reconsider this close.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 13:00, 17 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Two of those links don't work for me. The remainder are sources in Norweigan. Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:UE we follow the common usage in English language RSs. The other points are irrelevant to our policy. Whatever the etymology may be Ombudsman is a familiar English word and Ombud is not. Havelock Jones (talk) 10:56, 10 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
It doesn't matter if Ombud is a familiar English word or not, "Ombudsman" is directly adapted from Nordic languages, and after officially removing "man" the correct name in English is now Ombud. How many times do you think the Norwegian Parliamentary Ombud has been relevant in english articles or other sources this year? Fact of the matter is that there is no "common name", because it's not a title commonly mentioned. Here is one, if you must, but this really is a completely silly utilisation of policies to block the minor update of a relatively minor Norwegian governmental title, worthy of Wikipedia:Ignore all rules.
