More common title

How is Spione the more common title? The current dvd of it from Kino calls it "Spies", it's called Spies on Rotten Tomatoes (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1019619-spies/ source), Review sources I'm finding refer to it as spies such as USA Today and Slant Magazine source, source. The only major item that calls it "Spione" is the UK DVD by Eureka. source. If there aren't any further objections, I'll be moving it back in a few days.

Since it's a German film I'd rather it kept its German name. Keith-264 (talk) 10:27, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is not very surprising that US sources use the US title. Internationally (including UK and Australia), the original title seems to be more common. It is used here by the British Film Institute, here by Spike Magazine (UK), here by the Melbourne Cinematheque and here by Senses of Cinema (AUS). Prolog (talk) 22:33, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Those sources may say that as well, but google books shows 726 sources for "Fritz Lang" and "Spies" source and 664 for "Fritz Lang" and "Spione" 664.source. If you google search it for the web, "Fritz Lang Spies" comes up with 81,200 entries. while "Fritz Lang Spione" comes up with 19,600 entries.source source. Also Keith-264, per WP:NCF we should use the more common English language-name. I suggest we follow the Manual of Style. Cheers. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:45, 1 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should get rid of the unrelated hits. Try again with "Fritz Lang" +"Rudolf Klein-Rogge" +Spione/Spies. Prolog (talk) 05:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the record:

"Fritz Lang" + "Rudolf Klein-Rogge" + "Spies" = 14,200
"Fritz Lang" + "Rudolf Klein-Rogge" + "Spione" = 11,800

This still stand for the move. Andrzejbanas (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not that our article titles should reflect Google Fight results, but I'm getting more hits for Spione both on web and book searches. You're free to create a requested move, however. Prolog (talk) 11:10, 5 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
