Name

If it's "Malacañang Palace" is erroneous, why don't we move the article then to "Malacañan Palace"?

Because it is not erroneous. AFAIK, both Malacañang Palace and Malacañan Palace are correct. --Jojit fb 08:01, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
According to this site, the two are always interchangeable. --Jojit fb 08:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
Not so long ago a signpost was erected along Osmeña Ave., and it displays "MALACAÑAN". Perhaps we should rename the article, or should the current title be retained?
Malacañang Palace is the most popular name so that should be the article name. --Howard the Duck | talk, 05:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

You still have the problem that officially, it is Malacañan Palace and Malacañang. So better to apply a consistent policy: are official residences referred to by their popular name and spelling, or according to the official terminology? Gareon 06:33, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Can you cite reliable sources regarding its official name? This is the only way to resolve the issue otherwise the popular name should be its title here in Misplaced Pages. --Jojit fb 06:39, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
As said at WP:NC:
Generally, article naming should give priority to what the majority of English speakers would most easily recognize, with a reasonable minimum of ambiguity, while at the same time making linking to those articles easy and second nature.
IMHO, most English language speakers and even Pinoys easily recognize Malacanang, not Malacanan. --Howard the Duck | talk, 09:08, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

That's clear then. Re: reliable source, there's the official stationery of the president, and the official history of the Palace which was published in 2005.Gareon 10:22, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
