[edit] Hungarian name

I've seen the results of the poll on the move. I'm more interested in how his name is represented when the alternate names are represented. Does NAME apply to those in regard to name order? A Hungarian would indeed render it Szapolyai János. Artrenadys 09:27, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

John Zápolya → John Szapolyai – New name (actually Szapolyai János) is more common in Hungary while the current is less known. As he was a Hungarian king I think the article should be name according to his Hungarian name. 213.46.246.133 20:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Oppose. This is the English language Wikipedia, and the rule per WP:NAME is "most common name in English". It's irrelevant what the most common name in Hungary is; that name doesn't even use the same alphabet. --Dhartung | Talk 21:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Zápolya is a Hungarian name just like Szapolyai. Letter á is missing from English so I don't really understand why you think that the name Zápolya is more English than the word Szapolyai. Anyway if the name Zápolya is so much more common in English you are right that the page should not be moved. 213.46.246.133 23:29, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Zápolya vs Szapolyai

The actual real name is Szapolyai, it's not about language Zápolya is in hungarian as well, but the name of this dude was Szapolyai.

In hungarian sources are both names Zápolya and Szapolyai used. The hungarian wikipedia uses the name Szapolyai as reference. --ResetGomb 06:39, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
