*'''Oppose'''. This naming convention, in a nutshell: ''"This is the English Wikipedia. Article titles should be written in English."'' Current title is accurate. [[User:162 etc.|162 etc.]] ([[User talk:162 etc.|talk]]) 17:31, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

*:That nutshell doesn't follow the text itself, the first sentence of which says: "The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject that is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources (for example other encyclopedias and reference works, scholarly journals, and major news sources)." <span style="position: relative; top: -0.5em;">꧁</span>[[User:Zanahary|Zanahary]]<span style="position: relative; top: -0.5em;">꧂</span> 17:33, 1 December 2024 (UTC)

*'''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)
