Talk:KITLV/Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies

page move to KITLV/Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies
I have to say I'm not a fan of the new title format at KITLV/Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies. It's not common to see Wikipedia article titles that contain an acronym from one language, a slash and then the English translation.

I most commonly see it referred to simply by its acronym KITLV, both in academia and on social media. Would it not be simpler and more in keeping with Wikipedia article naming conventions to have it at KITLV with a translation in the first sentence?

See this subsection about Acronyms in article titles: "Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject (e.g. NASA; in contrast, consensus has rejected moving Central Intelligence Agency to its acronym, in view of arguments that the full name is used in professional and academic publications). In general, if readers somewhat familiar with the subject are likely to only recognise the name by its acronym, then the acronym should be used as a title."

I recommend moving it to KITLV. Dan Carkner (talk) 16:54, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
