BreidablikBreiðablik – Convention is to use the non-anglicised version of the name for example in Skaði, Þrúðvangr and Útgarða-Loki. Ingwina (talk) 18:47, 22 October 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:16, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The most commonly used form would be the Old Norse form. In this case, it's primarily scholars who have discussed this topic over the years, and they generally use the Old Norse form (for example, Simek's handbook or any number of scholastic papers discussing Baldr). :bloodofox: (talk) 16:26, 31 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I second this. In the research I did when rewriting the page, "Breiðablik" was by far the most common form in academic papers. Anglicisations were mostly only seen in translations of texts, when the name wasn't literally translated (which was roughly as common). Ingwina (talk) 09:40, 1 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: Argument-wise, there is a split on whether to use the proper spelling vs. a more common (but not Old Norse) spelling. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi! (投稿) 17:16, 30 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
