E.g. NASA or FIFA is also known primarily (common name) by its abbreviation (in case of FIFA also an abbreviation of a French name), and the Wikipedia article is named accordingly. See also WP:ACRONYMTITLE.

From Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English)

The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language, as you would find it in reliable sources (for example other encyclopediae and reference works, scholarly journals and major news sources).

@Petebutt: No it isn't. There is no clear consensus for the move and it needs to run for the full seven days to allow other editors to comment.  Philg88 talk 09:08, 28 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
