Il coltello di ghiaccioKnife of Ice – per WP:Naming conventions (use English) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)#Foreign-language films.

Very few Italian-language film titles (short, evocative ones such as L'Avventura, La Notte and L'Eclisse) remain in their original form for distribution in the English-speaking world. Knife of Ice has a well-established English-language title as listed in its IMDb entry, its DVD sale, its YouTube download and the screenshot of its opening title. The great majority of its director's titles already have English-language variations at Template:Umberto Lenzi. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 15:28, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose: The sources used here (as in those meeting WP:RS, rather than user-generated sites like Youtube or IMDB) use the Italian title more frequently, with the British Film Institute and AllMovie both using it exclusively, while Rotten Tomatoes uses it in conjuction with a translation. Reliable sources trump user-generated content in this regard. GRAPPLE X 15:41, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The English-language title for Knife of Ice is not user-generated. It appears on the film's English-language poster, its DVD box and in the film's opening title (per screenshot, above). The most reliable source is the film, itself. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 16:02, 8 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Il coltello di ghiaccioKnife of Ice – per WP:Naming conventions (use English) and Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)#Foreign-language films. Other than one-word-two-word examples, such as Umberto D., La Strada, La Notte or Boccaccio '70, titles of Italian films exhibited in the English-speaking world have been translated into English. Knife of Ice has a well-established English-language title as confirmed by the cites within the article, the film's English-language poster, its DVD sale, the screenshot of its opening title and, finally, the film's English-language version, which is available online in its entirety. The great majority of its director's titles already have English-language variations at Template:Umberto Lenzi. — Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 23:48, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose for the same reasons as before. Gʀᴀᴘᴘʟᴇ ˣ 00:03, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose after checking several Italian movie guides written in English, this is the title used primarily. -- Netoholic @ 02:41, 3 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
