I Don't KissJ'embrasse pas – The English sources use the current English title. However, many other English sources also use the original French title. One and another and another use French title as main title. WP:NCF encourages using commonly-used name, be it either native name or translated name. I hope the proposed title is more common. --Relisted. CookieMonster755 (talk) 00:25, 13 March 2015 (UTC) --Relisted.

  • Oppose, per WP:Use English. There is no reason to use a name that English-speakers cannot pronounce or understand on the English Wikipedia. There are sources that translate the name, meaning that the present title isn't OR of any kind, and hence the translation must be used to ensure that foreignisms do not make the encylopaedia incomprehensible to its audience.

RGloucester, did you not read "Divided usage" section? Half (or less than that) of sources use the English title; other half use the French one. Well, the guideline neither encourages nor discourages using a native name. --George Ho (talk) 21:25, 5 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
The Manual of Style encourages us to use English. That's why there is a guideline called "Use English", as I cited. This is the English encylopaedia. If there is an English name, we use it. RGloucester 04:34, 6 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
Amazon uses French title also. --George Ho (talk) 15:57, 8 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Oppose WP:UE, we have an English language title, that is is use, so use it. -- 70.51.200.101 (talk) 05:06, 6 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support Even the DVD cover for the English version has J'embrasse pas in big letters and the translation below in smaller letters; it was not actually released under the name "I Don't Kiss." Original title is more commonly used. Additionally, J'embrasse pas is hardly difficult to pronounce for English speakers. Wikimandia (talk) 15:28, 8 February 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support per Wikimandia and nom. CookieMonster755 (talk) 01:04, 19 February 2015 (UTC).Reply
  • Support per WP:COMMONNAME. English is big enough to accept non-English titles. Chocolate vittles (talk) 01:40, 15 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
  • Support. The film is known by its original French title. --Miguelemejia (talk) 14:09, 15 March 2015 (UTC)Reply
