Title?[edit]

The other 2 films in the "Apu Trilogy" are listed by their original names - shouldn't this one be as well, and this page moved to Apur Sansar? - AKeen 22:56, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Right now it is the otherway around (Apur Sangshar redirects to this article). --Ragib 05:39, 15 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move[edit]

This article should be returned to The World of Apu because that is how it was released in the English speaking world (see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)). The other 2 films in the trilogy are listed under their original names because they were released under those names even in the English speaking world. Cop 663 13:29, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The title The World of Apu has been restored as the result of a move request listed at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Dekimasuよ! 03:00, 4 July 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Requested move 2013 May[edit]

The following discussion is an archived 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. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. If we are arguing guidelines, then WP:COMMONNAME is the one to satisfy. EdJohnston (talk) 14:43, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]


The World of Apu → Apur Sansar – Using h3 section here because previous two discussions are related.
Film was originally named "Apur Sansar", see Satyajit Ray's official website], native English speaker Marie Seton has used this name in her book. Ray also used this name in his writings and general works. Bengali film— Bengali title please! Tito Dutta (contact) 07:55, 9 May 2013 (UTC) Comment: While I want to say support because the other two films in The Apu Trilogy are always called by their Bengali names, and thinking that this one should be as well, there is a quite a bit of history for this one being called by its English name [1], so I am not sure yet.

  • Comment: It looks like both titles are used interchangeably. IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes use Apur Sansar. The British Film Institute and Sight & Sound use The World of Apu. Google Books Search shows 24,100 hits for The World of Apu vs. 3,740 hits for Apur Sansar. A regular Google search shows 732,000 hits for The World of Apu vs. 96,400 hits for Apur Sansar. (These titles were searched individually.) I would say it leans toward The World of Apu, but I would support making the alternative title clearer in the lead sentence.

  • Oppose. I sympathize with Tito Dutta's concerns of faithfulness and consistency, but WP policy is clear: we have no choice but to use the common Anglophone release title, The World of Apu.--Lemuellio (talk) 03:28, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Search exact term: "Quote" your search term. When you search with The World of Apu it includes many irrelevant results like "Apu was trapped in the world" etc. You can search in Google News (you'll get almost no result if you add quote and search exact term), or you can search here too --Tito Dutta (contact) 10:50, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
    Tito, I did use quotation marks with both titles in both Google Search and Google Books Search. As for Google News Search, it only shows the last 30 days of headlines unless you choose the Archives options. I did not compare the hits there though because it did not give me a count in that setup. Erik (talk | contribs) 11:22, 10 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clannad[edit]

The citation does not say that Clannad was influenced by this; it recommends The World of Apu for those who like Clannad. Brutannica (talk) 23:34, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
