[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments:
- The rule on Wikipedia isn't actually "English whenever possible" — it's technically possible to translate both Bloc Québécois and Parti Québécois, too, but that would result in absurd titles that nobody on the planet actually uses. The rule is actually that we use whichever name, be it English or French, is more documentably in use for the topic in English-language sources. In some cases that is a translated name, but in others an original, untranslated French name is used — and Wikipedia's rule is to be consistent with actual usage.

- So, that clarified, I ask because I genuinely don't know: how is this party more normally referred to in English-language history books? Move if the English name is more typical, don't move if the French name is. Bearcat 03:52, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
