Chihayafuru Part 3 → Chihayafuru: Musubi – This film was never released under the title Chihayafuru Part 3. As far as I can tell, it was never released outside Japan, so defaulting to the original title of Chihayafuru: Musubi would be best. Although Part 3 is used to refer to the film on sites like IMDB, that's not a reliable source for what this film should be referred to on Wikipedia. Meanwhile, reliable sources like Anime News Network and Crunchyroll have referred to the film with the Musubi title. 十八 02:54, 13 July 2018 (UTC) --Relisting. bd2412  T 18:59, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 *  Weak oppose. The Toronto Japanese Film Festival uses the title Chihayafuru Part 3. The festival took place in June. The articles cited here are from February and from 2017, before the film was screened abroad, which may explain the discrepancy. Dekimasu よ! 02:03, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Substantially more COMMON in English Google News hits ( vs. ).--Cúchullain t/ c 14:54, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * But there are zero hits for the proposed title since it was screened abroad, while the current title has several, including hits in Variety, Nikkei Voice , BusinessMirror , and ABS-CBN News related to screenings in Canada and the Philippines. Dekimasu よ! 18:03, 25 July 2018 (UTC)
 * I don't think that matters terribly. There aren't enough sources published since the foreign release that use the present title to tell whether it's a real trend. But there 324 hits for "Chihayafuru: Musubi", vs. 57 for "Chihayafuru Part 3" which definitely suggests it's the common name.--Cúchullain t/ c 20:12, 25 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Referring back to the nomination, Anime News Network also uses Chihayafuru Part 3 in newer articles. Dekimasu よ! 01:23, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Good point. The presence of several newer articles using the present title, and none that have been found using the proposed title, qualifies my support.--Cúchullain t/ c 14:27, 27 July 2018 (UTC)
