name of the category[edit]

 Oppose Names of categories need to be in English, and this is an accepted name for this very famous cemetery. Deadstar (msg) 16:45, 17 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

First, the name is not Père Lachaise but Père-Lachaise, with a dash: « Père Lachaise » is simply a mistake. Secondly, the cemetery belongs to the city of Paris, which gives it its official name: « Cimetière du Père-Lachaise ». Official names are not subject to translations, see Category:Tour Eiffel or Category:Berliner Dom. Bibi Saint-Pol (sprechen) 22:09, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
