Academia Mayor de la Lengua QuechuaHigh Academy of the Quechua Language – The current title is in Spanish; per WP:UE, the title should be the English name of the organization, and this is the most commonly-used name I could find.

  • Oppose Per my Google Scholar search[1][2] several times as many English-language RS use the Spanish name in running text than the English one (e.g. "Timothy Marr analyses a one-hour interview with a senior representative of the Academia Mayor de la Lengua Quechua in Cusco, Peru"[3]). Per WP:UE the name that "predominate[s] in English-language reliable sources" should be used, which indeed appears to be the Spanish name in this case.

  • Oppose per buidhe. More generally, a literal translation of the Spanish title can be problematic even if there wasn't a clear English use case; "High Academy" is not really an English idiom. SnowFire (talk) 17:40, 5 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose. No commonly used English name. WP:UE does not say we should translate everything no matter what. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:42, 8 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
