Requested move 10 November 2017

[edit]
The following is a closed 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. I don't see any agreement for this name change, and I've noted lots of seeming exceptions to the policy and guideline cited below. So frankly, I'm not sure myself just where the balance is. As always with a no consensus outcome, any editor who still thinks there is a better title for this article may continue to garner consensus for the change. Happy Holidays to all!

Schönes Mädchen aus ArcadiaLovely Lady of Arcadia – Per WP:USEENGLISH, we should use the English title of the song, as this is the title it is released as in English, and this is the WP:COMMONNAME that it is most WP:RECOGNIZABLE as to our English speaking readers. This is the English language Wikipedia after all. --woodensuperman 09:25, 10 November 2017 (UTC)--Relisting.usernamekiran(talk) 20:27, 17 November 2017 (UTC)--Relisting.usernamekiran(talk) 06:44, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a cover. Roussos released a version in each language. --woodensuperman 09:12, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The original was clearly in German. The English version was released later, and the credits for the English version list an additional lyricist, Jack Lloyd.
Also, only the German version charted. --Moscow Connection (talk) 10:22, 13 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
