*'''Oppose'''. If this needs to be moved, I would rather rename it to [[Naming conventions (use English-language sources)|Naming conventions (use English-''language'' sources)]]. That is the term commonly used on most Wikipedia policies and guidelines to disambig that from ''sources originally published in [[England]]''. Otherwise, like 162 etc.'s comment, the status quo seems sufficient: the name most commonly used in English-language sources ''is'' essentially the English name, including any [[loanword]] assimilated from one language into English.

*:You're right. Can I change the nomination? <span style="position: relative; top: -0.5em;">꧁</span>[[User:Zanahary|Zanahary]]<span style="position: relative; top: -0.5em;">꧂</span> 17:42, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
*::You should be able to edit the original request, I'm unsure on whether it will properly sync with the main RM page though. [[User:Turnagra|Turnagra]] ([[User talk:Turnagra|talk]]) 18:45, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
*'''Support''' (with the change suggested by Zzyzx11). This is one of the most frequently misunderstood parts of PAG. I often see it used to oppose a clear [[WP:COMMONNAME]] because the proposed title, although the most common name in English, isn't ''from'' English (eg. preferring "Ayers Rock" over [[Uluru]] and using [[WP:USEENGLISH]] as the rationale). Amending the title to specify that it should be the name as used in English-language sources would partially help to alleviate this confusion, and would better match the wording of the guideline.
