This page is affected by the Gdańsk (Danzig) Vote. The following rules apply in the case of disputes:

For Gdańsk, use the name Danzig between 1308 and 1945
For Gdańsk, use the name Gdańsk before 1308 and after 1945
In biographies of clearly German persons, the name should be used in the form Danzig (Gdańsk) and later Danzig exclusively
In biographies of clearly Polish persons, the name should be used in the form Gdańsk (Danzig) and later Gdańsk exclusively.
For Gdansk and other locations that share a history between Germany and Poland, the first reference of one name in an article should also include a reference to other names, e.g. Danzig (now Gdańsk, Poland) or Gdańsk (Danzig). An English language reference that primarily uses this name should be provided on the talk page if a dispute arises.
Reverts to conform with community consensus are excluded from the three-revert rule (3RR). Only the place names can be reverted exempt from the 3RR according to the outcome of this vote, additional changes fall again under the 3RR. Please use descriptive edit summaries.
Persistent reverts against community consensus despite multiple warnings may be dealt with according to the rules in Misplaced Pages:Dealing with vandalism. In case of doubt, assume good faith and do not bite newcomers.

The detailed vote results and the vote itself can be found on Talk:Gdansk/Vote. This vote has ended; please do not vote anymore. Comments and discussions can be added to Talk:Gdansk/Vote/discussion anytime. This template {{Gdansk-Vote-Notice}} can be added on the talk page of affected articles if necessary.

Just a reminder. --Matthead 23:53, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

And what is justification for this absurd renaming ? What next ? People born in Warsaw/Warschau ? --Molobo 00:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

How about reading? --Matthead 00:42, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh sure, List of famous people born in Gdańsk-Danzig but "Teutonic takeover of Danzig" with Danzig only! Some nice ultranationalist consistency. Space Cadet (talk) 16:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Name

This should be List of people born in Gdańsk or List of people from Gdańsk, obviously. Or, for the sake of political correctness, we could restore the older name List of famous people born in Gdańsk-Danzig which seems rather acceptable. Seriously, Gedenians? :) --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk} 20:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Piotrus, no matter on historical names the article should be named after the current city name. List of people born in Gdańsk is a good choice, List of famous people born in Gdańsk-Danzig is little bit cumbersome but acceptable. But what is Gedaian ? :) ≈Tulkolahten≈ 12:37, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Cuurent name of course. After Britannica. Space Cadet (talk) 16:17, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Current name of course. This is obvious --Molobo (talk) 18:21, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
