For background, there's a bit of "when a name might be valid"
information in

(although there isn't really a "dispute" here). Generally
speaking if a name is used "on the ground" it's OK to include it,
but it's not OK to just add "translations" into each of
Ethnologue's 7000+ languages for everything with a name in OSM
just because you can.

<p>I feel this is the case about a lot of translations and
transliterations. Without writing an essay, there needs to be
some reason. Maybe a significant community that use the name.<br>

<p>Why does Crystal Palace have a "Gare de Crystal Palace". City of
London has 11 names (sensible) but Westminster doesnt seem to
deserve any.</p>
<p>The house of commons has a name:fr="Chambre des Communes" (is
that really its name?). <br>
