[edit] The Surgeon's Mate
Elsinore is mentioned in Patrick O'Brian's novel "The Surgeon's Mate." In the novel, book seven in the extensive Aubrey/Maturin series, the two protaganists comment on Elsinore castle as they drift past via a Royal Navy sloop. 24.130.167.132 01:29, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

We might add a section called "In fiction", and include some major references to Elsinore in novels, plays, films etc. Hamlet would be an obvious first entry to that section. abelson 11:24, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
I added the O'Brian note. And just tried to do the signature but this is my first time adding to Wilkipedia and I am pretty ignorant of the procedure. My initials are PS
[edit] Requested move
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was NO CONSENSUS to move, per discussion below. -GTBacchus(talk) 10:11, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Elsinore → Helsingør — Let's call the place by its proper usual modern Danish spelling. Matter about other places called Elsinore can be cut-and-pasted back to Elsinore, which thereby would be changed from a redirect to a disambig. Anthony Appleyard 21:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Survey - in support of the move
[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move
- Oppose - this is the standard English name - see the port website for example. -- Beardo 08:46, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose - If we started this, we'd be naming the 'Rome' article 'Roma' and 'Armenia' to 'Hayastan'. InfernoXV 17:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move?
If I had known earlier about the above survey, I would have supported the move. The only reference to the Elsinore that I have seen, was a comment in a guide book that Helsingør was 'possibly the inspiration for Shakespeare's Elsinore'. I am not convinced that Elsinore is the 'standard' english name for the city. Astronaut 09:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
