Teide or Mount Teide?

In English, it's called Mount Teide, so shouldn't this be the article name, as per WP:USEENGLISH? Joseph2302 (talk) 14:05, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Thanks for raising this point. A Google search for "Teide" (excluding "Mount Teide" and "Mt Teide") gives me about 5,400,000 web pages in English. So, "Teide" is an English name for the mountain. A Google search for "Mount Teide" gives me about 336,000 web pages. A Google search for "Mt. Teide" gives me about 41,000 web pages. This suggests to me that "Teide" is the English WP:COMMONNAME; therefore I think that "Teide" is an acceptable name to continue using for this article's title. I suggest that the start of the first sentence of the article could be changed from "Mount Teide" to "Teide, or Mount Teide" for improved accuracy, completeness and consistency.

After waiting 12 days for further discussion, I have changed the first sentence of the article as per my suggestion of 22 December 2020. GeoWriter (talk) 13:55, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

UNESCO considers it the third tallest volcanic structure in the world and not the fourth

Thanks for reporting this. I have restored the correct version of the text. GeoWriter (talk) 22:06, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
