Talk:Liga ng mga Barangay

Move page to Association of Barangay Captains?
In the vast majority of time I hear the term " Association of Barangay Captains" or ABC Chairman. That seems to be the most common name. Should it be the name per WP:CommonName? I rarely hear "Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas" used and I never hear "League of Barangays of the Philippines". Remember the test is NOT the official name but the common name -- the name that people will the web for. For instance see the Big Dig or Bill Clinton. --Bruce Hall (talk) 05:13, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

League of Barangays in the Philippines → Liga ng mga Barangay – WP:UE states that use the most prevalent name used in English language sources. That currently, for this organization, is "Liga ng mga Barangay". 1320 Google searches for news vs 85 for "Liga ng mga Barangay sa Pilipinas" and 3 for "League of Barangays in the Philippines". The current article title actually is least used name, and is an abomination of Taglish if I ever saw one. Howard the Duck (talk) 20:14, 1 April 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

If the suggestion is too "not English" for you, "Association of Barangay Captains", its old name from decades ago, is a runner-up in Google search results for news, with 834 results. It still is used, such as in this report. Howard the Duck (talk) 20:27, 1 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Support. There are only 289 results for the proposed title (the initial number is just an estimate, you need to look at the last page of results), but does appear to be the common name in English. I do wonder whether it would be more useful to our readers to use a descriptive English title, such as "League of Barangays", but that is not the current policy.
