is available for this.
This article was originally created as "bad uses" (as a literal translation of the Catalan Mals usos).
We should use the WP:COMMONNAME as used in English for this article, if one can be established. In addition, looking at WP:TIES, WP:UE, and especially, WP:AT#English-language titles and taking all this and the data from some search results into consideration, I've renamed the article Evil customs based on the guideline, and the results of careful examination of usage of various terms in English sources in books, articles, and on the web.
Checking English language sources exclusively, the results show a slight preference for "evil customs", followed by "evil uses", followed by "bad uses" (the old name) in third place. Among the terms from Spain, there are mixed results, with Scholar preferring Catalan, and Books preferring Castillian, with web results about even. Web results are somewhat tainted by the original title of this article, which has already propagated to various mirrors and other websites, but since the overall choice depended more on books and articles, this doesn't matter very much. Neither of the Latin terms had many results. Note that the searches used additional terms such as Catalonia and other terms to guard against false positives.
