The result of the move request was: moved. Moved Marie of the Port (film) to La Marie du port. For the other articles that may be related, editors are encouraged to club those requests together if they chose to open an RM for them, as was suggested by some editors below.

Marie of the Port (film)La Marie du port – The article was recently moved from its stable title "La Marie du port" to a literal English translation "Marie of the Port". [1]

Relevant policy states: "Use the title more commonly recognized by English readers; normally this means the title under which it has been released in cinemas or on video in the English-speaking world."

And: "If the film has never been widely released in the English-speaking world, it is not assumed to have a commonly-recognized English name; in such cases, the native name is to be preferred over potentially variant translated titles used in English-language reliable sources."

In this case the film is best known in English speaking countries as La Marie du port.[2] [3] [4] . Major scholarly works in English also refer to the film under its French title. See for example, Turk, Edward Baron. Child of Paradise: Marcel Carné and the Golden Age of French Cinema. Harvard University Press, 1989, pp. 138-39, 440, 490 [5]

I therefore request that the page be reverted to La Marie du port. Aemilius Adolphin (talk) 03:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. The Night Watch (talk) 04:19, 19 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
