Famicom Detective Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shōjo → Famicom Tantei Club Part II: Ushiro ni Tatsu Shōjo — This article should be moved back to "Tantei", instead of "Detective", because fan-translated names aren't allowed due to Wikipedia's rules.

 * Oppose. Exactly which rules are those? Andrewa (talk) 12:17, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Support per WP:COMMONNAME: "Famicom Tantei Club" yields six times as much search results as "Famicom Detective Club". Also to keep it consistent with the other article titles in the series. Prime Blue (talk) 14:14, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment: That's better, but again, can you be specific? Google web search  gives me exacty the same ghits for the two names, with the proposed article title generally being quoted as the Japanese name and the existing title given as the common English name. Your results may differ, or you may be using a different search engine, so it's important to be specific or your evidence will be given less weight as unverifiable. Consistency between articles is not a particularly important factor according to long-standing Wikipedia policy, and in any case if these other articles don't accord with our article title policy, they should be changed, not this one. No change of vote. Andrewa (talk) 20:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Meant the series title. "Famicom Tantei Club" gives 121,000 results on Google, "Famicom Detective Club" only 20,500. Also don't think it makes much sense to have a partial translation as an article title when the subtitle is still in Japanese, simply misleading. Prime Blue (talk) 13:46, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Suggest you check my searches above, which are now giving me 5730 and 5480 ghits respectively, about the same as before, with the first few pages at least still all in common. Can you see anything I'm doing wrong? And in any case, would you like to provide similar links to your own searches, so others can see how you're getting these very different results?

 * "Famicom Tantei Club" (currently 117,000) vs. "Famicom Detective Club" (20,600). Prime Blue (talk) 13:55, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you! But why are you searching on the shorter title? Doesn't this show that while Tantei is more common discussing the general subject of Famicom Tantei (Detective) Club, Detective is equally common when discussing the particular topic of this article? So Google doesn't give us evidence either way. Looking at the individual hits however gives the full picture: The English pages overwhelmingly quote both the English and Japanese names. We of course use the English one in this situation. (I'd also question your two extra negative search arguments. The -Wikipedia in my search is to eliminate compliant Wikipedia mirrors, which may or not be wikis themselves, often not. And the -Wikia is probably redundant if you have a -Wiki. But these don't affect the result on this occasion.) Andrewa (talk) 21:51, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Considering that the specific article title gives almost the same number of hits rather than clearly favoring "Famicom Detective Club", I consider the search results on the series title a pretty good lead. I just don't see much going for the "Famicom Detective Club" title at this point, not being a more widespread term, not fitting the other Wikipedia article titles on the series, and still being just a misleading half-translation. Prime Blue (talk) 22:31, 30 April 2011 (UTC)

A pretty good lead to what? It's simply searching on the wrong term. What's going for the existing title is it's English, while the proposed title is Japanese. Consistency with these other titles is not a major consideration, and this is well-established Wikipedia practice and policy. Misleading half-translation is at least as apt a description of the proposed title as of the current one. Andrewa (talk) 13:40, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
