This is just a cut and paste of the
Lakhva article. If someone disagrees with the title of the main article, cutting and pasting in order to create an identical article is not the way to do it. And given that the town only has 2000 inhabitants and is notable mainly as the historic site of a ghetto, having virtually identical article on the town and the ghetto would seem quite unnecessary.

Go ahead and perform the move. During WWII Łachwa was a town in German occupied Poland, besides, the name Łachwa Ghetto produces over three times as many results in search than Lakhva Ghetto. Here are the numbers:
Recently this article was moved, without discussion (well, new discussion, an older one above was in favor of Łachwa), from
Łachwa Ghetto to
Lakhva Ghetto, with justification of
WP:COMMONNAME. Well, let's see if things have changed over the past few yers: Google Books has about 150 hits for "Lakhva Ghetto" and scholar, one. For Łachwa Ghetto, Books has 190 hits, and Scholar, 16. I think Łachwa is the more common spelling, hence the older name seems better. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus|
