Oops... I just
WP:BOLDLY moved this back not realizing that there was an RM last year, and now that I see this, I figure I should explain. I made the move mainly because the city
Ghent is spelled with an 'h' in English per our main WP article. Oddly enough, my additional reasons for moving it are much the same as what the nominator used last year. "Ghent" is used by the reliable sources cited in the article (one of which overlaps with the previous RM: Variety where "Ghent" is used more frequently according to their tagging system
4x for Gent13x for Ghent), which include The Wall Street Journal. Another overlapping source is Screen Dailyhere. Plus, the official website is showing "Ghent" when I view it. The logo uses "Gent", but the text on the site reads "Ghent" when reading the English version of the page and "Gent" when viewing the Dutch version of the page. With all the overlap and common use of both versions, I think I will leave the page where it is per
WP:USEENGLISH since "Gent" appears to be for non-English use, but I understand if there is a desire to return to where the RM ended. -

Thanks for the explanation,
2pou. I cannot see the Screendaily article, but seeing that the English version of the website shows Ghent, I have no problem with leaving as is. Don't feel strongly either way though.
