[edit] Brokeback Mountain titles

Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. The article is merely a list of title translations, and no precedent for this type of article exists for other movies. I favour deletion of this article, though a merge into Brokeback Mountain could be appropriate also. —C.Fred (talk) 16:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

• Merge into Brokeback Mountain. Translated titles do not need their own pages. Also, maybe not every title need go in there. For example, the ones that are translated directly from English and have no changes in meaning or additional subtitles could be summed up in a short sentence with one or few examples given. The ones that do have subtitles, alternate titles, or mistranslations should be included. GassyGuy 18:20, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Agreed with above. Ace of Sevens 05:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. A list of title translations is not exactly encyclopedic. For example, do we also need to list the titles of every Shakespeare play and what they've been translated into, too? There are already Brokeback Mountain articles in other-language Wikipedias; I think that's sufficient. eaolson 13:17, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I'd expected a list where translation introduced an interesting change to the title reflecting cultural attitudes to the movie's subject (and if any of those turn up they should go in the main article), but most of these are literal translations. --Jamoche 17:41, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep It can be very useful and helpful for some and it also shows in what places/regions/countries the film is being or has been shown in. Shamir1 19:34, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge into Brokeback Mountain. --Starionwolf 20:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Since this is the English-language Wikipedia, it doesn't matter what things were translated into, unless there is something notable about it (like how movie titles sometimes get translated into wacky things in other languages). If there are foreign-language articles on Brokeback Mountain, link them, and then people can see what it was translated into. Aguerriero (talk) 17:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom, no point in merging, but maybe copy to talk for starting interwiki stubs. Sandstein 21:51, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge Kind of interesting but doesn't need its own page. Dgies 02:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I see no compelling reason to keep. WP:NOT babelfish.--Kchase02 T 06:52, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Unencyclopedic. If kept, users will continue to make similar articles for every film. --Musicpvm 17:08, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
