Parti Sarawak Bersatu → United Sarawak Party – Currently this the Malay translation of the party name. Since we are using English Wikipedia, we should stick with the English name - United Sarawak Party. There is no reason to keep this page, and the information should be moved over to that article Lazybugger13A (talk) 16:45, 17 August 2020 (UTC) Lazybugger13A (talk) 16:45, 17 August 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

Comment: While I'd generally agree with the reasoning per WP:USEENGLISH, I haven't been able to find sources that support the fact that the proposed title is the accepted English name of this specific subject. English language news sources appear to use the Malay name or the abbreviation PSB. --Paul_012 (talk) 12:39, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Let me put some examples - like Malaysian United Indigenous Party is the translation of Parti Pribumi Bersatu Malaysia and Malaysian Islamic Party is the translation of Parti Islam Se-Malaysia. Hope that clarifies a few misconceptions regarding sources. Local news sources like NST, Star, Malay Mail and even Malaysiakini always tends to use the Malay names.

oppose based on a rudimentary search, it seems to be a name. We dont translate names. Otherwise Shiv Sena would be "Army of Shivaji", or "Army of Shiv" to be precise, and rest of the non-English movies. Also, even though a lot different case (biographical), Mikhail Gorbachev would become Michael Gorbachev. —usernamekiran (talk) 18:41, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
