Move discussion

Article should be at drag race Brasil. Local spelling is used, so just like Espan~a, so should it be Brasil Naraht (talk) 00:11, 15 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Support per World of Wonder / WOW here and here. I thought my move request was to Drag Race Brasil per the draft title. My mistake if I missed an autocorrect in my submission. ---Another Believer (Talk) 00:47, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
Love that reference, Though to be fair, it appears France and Belgium used the name in English, not the name in a native language.Naraht (talk) 01:35, 15 July 2023 (UTC)
@Naraht I've submitted a formal move request below. ---Another Believer (Talk) 14:50, 28 July 2023 (UTC)

Requested move 19 July 2023

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Arguments against were slightly stronger, but not sufficiently strong to overcome the numerical support for the move and establish a consensus against a move, particularly as the oppose !votes were self-classified as weak.

Drag Race BrazilDrag Race Brasil – Per World of Wonder / WOW here and here, as well as the above discussion. Thanks! --Another Believer (Talk) 15:24, 19 July 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – MaterialWorks 16:10, 27 July 2023 (UTC)

  • Weak oppose: We have to follow the common name (WP:COMMONNAME) in independent, reliable sources, even if it is not the official name (WP:OFFICIALNAME). English-language (WP:UE) news sources seem to be using "Drag Race Brazil" much more often. (In contrast, I see more common use of "Drag Race España" in English news articles.)

I could be wrong though. The first ten Google News results I had for the search drag race brasil OR brazil were [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10].
Of those, 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 used "Drag Race Brazil"; 4, 5, 8 used "Drag Race Brasil"; 10 used neither (Brazil). SilverLocust 💬 06:27, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Leaning oppose per WP:ENGLISHTITLE, WP:USEENGLISH, WP:COMMONNAME (with a preference for independent sources), and the mixture found by SilverLocust. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 16:43, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
  • Move I'm not sure that WP:USEENGLISH applies for choices within a Propername. And while it is WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS, I think least surprise would be for the name actually used by the show given that any graphic for the show would be "Drag Race Brasil". I think the most similar situation to Drag Race Brasil is Big Brother Brasil for which the main article and all 23 of its seasons (see Category:Big Brother Brasil seasons are with the local spelling.)Naraht (talk) 18:19, 28 July 2023 (UTC)
    Agree: Move, given that sources refer roughly equally to Brasil/Brazil, going with the actual name shown in the show seems like the best choice. Griffindaly (talk) 05:09, 5 August 2023 (UTC)

Drag Race BrazilDrag Race Brasil – Let's try this again! The show is now airing and sources like Out magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Digital Spy, and Pride.com, etc, are using the official name of the series. Therefore, I propose moving. --Another Believer (Talk) 15:15, 7 September 2023 (UTC)

@SilverLocust, BarrelProof, Naraht, and Griffindaly: Pinging folks who participated in the last move discussion. Thanks! ---Another Believer (Talk) 15:53, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Support. More of the articles (though not all) since the last requested move have been using "Drag Race Brasil". And Griffindaly's comment about mixed usage in English sources was already quite reasonable. So just go with the official name. SilverLocust 💬 16:47, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Support much more significant sources than at the time of the previous move request.Naraht (talk) 18:13, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Weak oppose: We just went through this a month ago. WP:ENGLISHTITLE hasn't changed. Immediately repeating the same proposal is not helpful. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 02:53, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Support per nom. The evidence is better now, even if this RM was relisted sooner than some would prefer.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  00:56, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
  • Support: many sources now use the show's official designation "Brasil." Therefore, for the same reason that the German version is called "Drag Race Germany" and not "Deutschland" as many articles originally mentioned in the absence of an official name, I do not see why we should have the same problem with the Brazilian version of the show. Also, unlike the Belgian and Swedish versions, "Drag Race Brasil" does not officially have an international version of its title on WOW+, the platform where the show is broadcast outside Brazil.
