Title should include The definite article

[edit]

Most of the sources I have seen mostly refer to this film either by its Spanish title De Chacal de Nahueltoro or as "The Jackal of Nahueltoro". Although Wikipedia naming conventions indicate that titles should be in English, they also indicate that the definite article should be included in a title if the article is capitalized when used in text or if the meaning is changed if the definite article is omitted. I have seen a source that refers to the person the film is about as "de Chacal de Nahueltoro" or the "Jackal of Nahueltoro". Wikipedia now has two articles about different, though related, subjects with essentially the same title of Jackal of Nahueltoro. The only real difference is the presence or omission of the definite article in the title. I think there is a clear need for a disambiguation page, but that raises the question about what is the best title for this article, the one about the person often known as the "Jackal of Nahueltoro" (in Spanish) and that of the disambiguation page. Essentially, I think both the current article titles could be reversed, but that is not the only, or necessarily the best, option. Before I make any changes does anybody else have any thoughts or opinions? - Cameron Dewe (talk) 05:53, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Cameron - sounds good to me. If you have sources to support the change(s) you suggest, then please make the corrections. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 10:20, 9 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
