Talk:Nauru/FAQ
 | Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the corresponding page Nauru. They address concerns, questions, and misconceptions which have repeatedly arisen on the talk page. Please update this material when needed. |
Q1. Why is the article's name "Nauru" and not "Naoero"?
Although the Nauruan government has adopted the name "Naoero", Nauru remains the common name used in reliable, independent sources. Until a substantial number of recent reliable, independent sources consistently use "Naoero", Wikipedia will continue using the established common name. Wikipedia follows common usage rather than official names.
This issue may be revisited in the future, but any renewed request to rename the article should take previous discussions into account and be supported by substantial evidence demonstrating that common usage in reliable sources has changed.
