The article was just moved from Bach-Archiv Leipzig to Bach Archiv Leipzig. I don't find support for that on the official website. Btw, the last ref, not well formatted, is no longer in the "news" of that website. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:13, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Nor the logo nor the name on the building has a hyphen (see images in article). --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:48, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

re. "I don't find support for that on the official website" - that's because you only look at the German website of the Bach Archive, the English-language version of the website omits all these hyphens ([1])

I suppose in English it can be safely put as Bach Archive, that's how the Bach Archive puts it on their own website (that is the English-language one). --Francis Schonken (talk) 08:57, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

That's much better than introducing unsourced wrong German. But are you sure it's the only Bach archive worthy of an article? And isn't Leipzig part of the name? Have Bach Archive Leipzig, at least as a redirect. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:42, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Whether it's the only one that will have an article at en.wikipedia I don't know, but the Leipzig one would be the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC while by far the most famous one.

Whether Leipzig is part of the name I don't know: the English-language webpage of the Bach Archive (see link above) uses both Leipzig Bach Archive and Bach Archive (without Leipzig), so the last name would work whatever the official name. --Francis Schonken (talk) 14:37, 26 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
