article name

Hi, I don't agree with the latest move of this article. "Zittauer Schmalspurbahn" in german language is only a marketing brand being used within the last few years (and thus appearing in recent literature (only)). It certainly does not refer to the long history of this narrow-gauge railway line. The previous title Zittau–Kurort Oybin/Kurort Jonsdorf railway is timeless, no matter of operators at a certain time and marketing brands at a certain time. It reflects the exact termini of this line – at any time. Not even the article in de-WP is named Zittauer Schmalspurbahn (redirect only).

I agree. This has been moved in order to promote the use of "narrow-gauge" with a hyphen on Wikipedia. The move is inappropriate here, nor is it wrong to use the unhyphenated version of "narrow gauge" in the text e.g. see here. --Bermicourt (talk) 17:38, 25 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

K, if you want to move it back, go for it. It seemed to me that the long complicated name with slashes was uncommon and difficult to understand, and that the condensed form was more common in German, and is used in English, too (see books). Dicklyon (talk) 00:38, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, though, let's leave out the German/Russian word Kurort, as English speakers won't have a clue what that is. Probably Zittau–Oybin/Jonsdorf, or the much more common in books Zittau–Oybin–Jonsdorf would be better. Dicklyon (talk) 05:46, 26 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
