Prague school — "Prage school" is the most-common form in English, as far as I know. A search of Google books for the two gives approx x5 results for "Prague school" than "Prague Linguistic Circle". Wikipedia naming conventions state that the most-common form should be used.

Yes, I agree, it is vague. However, isn't it the form under which it is most-commonly known in English? DionysosProteus ( talk) 07:29, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
Wow. From a sensible discussion to idiocy in one fell swoop--impressive. Prague school more significant than Frankfurt? From what planet have you recently arrived? The point at issue, as far as Wikipedia is concerned, is not the most correct, official, specific, etc., but rather the most common. DionysosProteus ( talk) 00:28, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure what "equivocal connotations" you mean, but the point of the naming conventions is to give the article the most-common form, since this is the one that other articles will link to (without piping) and that browsers will search for. "Prague school" is the term I've encountered, both in writing by linguists and just about everyone else that refers to them. An article title isn't meant to take the form "Wherein is described...", but rather, simply, the name under which the subject of the article is most-commonly known. It would then be usual to follow this, in the first sentence of the article, with an "(also known as...)" or a more-detailed explanation of official, etc. This could take the form: "The Prague Linguistic Circle, most-commonly [referred to / known] as the Prague school, was a..." And as far as pretentious, meaningless gibberish is concerned, I can only say: Awww, did nastly old Adorno make your poor likkle head hurt? :) DionysosProteus ( talk) 01:18, 13 August 2010 (UTC)
Which "people" would that be then? The point is, that it is usually--most-commonly--used in precisely that "short form" in academic literature. You can't really argue that in this article it is "deprived of context" when the first line of the article gives precisely the context you are talking about.

i am not deleting the suggestion to translate from Russian, but it seems unnecessary since it has little further information. The Czech article obviously is better. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.84.174.248 ( talk) 07:28, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
Would it be possible to include a bit more discussion about the tenets or main ideas of the this school of thought? I am a graduate student in linguistics reading about structural linguistics and came across the "Prague School" in an article. However, rather than explaining what this school is about, this just gives a history...a bit more explanation of what these thinkers believe(d) would be helpful. Thank you. --EJ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.172.180.200 ( talk) 22:04, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Prague school →
Prague School (linguistics) – Despite the above move request being closed as "no consensus" this page has been unilaterally moved twice since, once to
Prague school (linguistics) and the second time to
Prague school. I do not believe that this was within process, per
Wikipedia:Requested_moves#CM the page should have been nominated again at RM as there had been a previous RM.
The title I am proposing is intended as a compromise, I can see the argument for "Prague School" over "Prague Linguistic Circle". However, firstly I think Prague school needs to be a disambiguation page since it is rather generic. There are other "Prague school"s out there, such as Praška filmska škola, now linked to in a hatnote at the top, and at least Prague School of Economics, Prague School of Fine Art and Prague Film School (not the same as the previously mentioned).
Secondly, even if consensus dictates this is the primary topic, it should be changed to Prague School (capitalised) since it is a proper noun - Oxford treats it as such.
