Titash Ekti Nadir Naam → A River Called Titas – Title used in the English-speaking world. WP:EN. WP:NCF. Film Fan 00:47, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• Weak support, perhaps with -sh - Not sure about the -s for -sh, since both the novel and the DVD are spelled " A River Called Titash" on the cover artwork Amazon.com novel and DVD, however River Titas itself is generally is spelled with -s in the more reliable sources. And Titas is also the confirmed name of the Bangladeshi gas field and gas company. However I find these "in the rest of the world" arguments pretty lame. Many of these art films (which is what any subtitled film becomes in the English speaking markets) are simply not notable in English-speaking countries, their notability derives from back home - in this case Bangladesh. And they do get discussed in books on Bangladesh cinema as Bengali names etc. However if there's only 1 English translation and amateur translations don't invent titles I suppose WP:NCF does support the RM.

Oppose - change, if there's no preference given to a minority of English names per User:Titodutta's link, then this film is more given the Bengali name in printed books. See also Talk:The Downfall of Osen In ictu oculi ( talk) 11:55, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• • All current releases in the US [1], UK [2] [3], etc. use Titas. Film Fan 10:25, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply
• Strong oppose: Bengali film, Bengali name. "Titas Ekti Nadir Naam" is the commonname. Please see the references in Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL, Find sources:  Google ( books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL. See Australian Art Gallery's article. FilmFan has somehow found one source, here is another Amazon.com DVD which is using the Bengali title, we are using Bengali title poster as well. See Films Division website. No need to change. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Titodutta ( talk • contribs) 10:53, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply
• Oppose: Come on, yaar! This is a Bengali film, so the Bengali name will remain. Regards, -- Jionpedia ✉ 11:23, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• According to what policy? Film Fan 11:46, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• Indian film naming conventions. Have you moved any other article following the same rationale? If so, please list those articles, we need to check those moves as well. Tito☸ Dutta 11:51, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply
• You do realise you just linked me to a TALK page? Here's a quote from WP:NCF that addresses this issue specifically:

"Use the title more commonly recognized by English readers; normally this means the title under which it has been released in cinemas or on video in the English-speaking world. Normally, this will be an English language title that is recognized across the English-speaking world; however, sometimes different English-speaking countries use different titles, in which case use the most common title, and give the native and alternate English title(s) afterward.

Note: in the following paragraphs, the phrase 'the English-speaking world' refers to countries in which the majority of the population speaks English as their first language; it thus includes the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand, as well as several smaller countries. It does not include countries such as India in which English is a common second language, but in which films are rarely produced in English." Film Fan 17:28, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• Discussions generally take place in talk pages. Read the discussion and its consensus. Have you moved any other article following same rationale. If so, please list those articles. -- Tito☸ Dutta 17:36, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• No. Read my previous post. Film Fan 17:40, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• Is there anything to read? Per the Indic film naming convention -- if a n Indian film's original title is used in English sources, use that. BTW, you have still not answered, have you moved any other article following the same rationale, if so, please make a list. Anyway, I don't have any more time here. I have many other tasks. -- Tito☸ Dutta 18:10, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply

• Support. I assume that a title English speakers can read is "more commonly recognized by English readers" than one they can't, as NCF, quoted above, puts it. When a title is given in the form "Titas Ekti Nadir Naam (A River Called Titas)", as this one is here, the obvious conclusion is that "Titas Ekti Nadir Naam" is being given as the Bengali title, while "A River Called Titas" is the English language title. 37.9.56.152 ( talk) 22:27, 29 September 2013 (UTC) reply
• Support. Don't understand the oppose votes when WP:NC-FILM clearly states that India is not included in "the English-speaking world," so the title in the "UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand" wins out here. 82.132.215.176 ( talk) 09:32, 30 September 2013 (UTC) reply
