[edit] Survey - in opposition to the move
- Oppose it is not disambiguated with its current title. And in English in Canada it is known as the parti rouge. 70.51.8.30 05:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose This move would violate Wikipedia naming policies as explained at User talk:Checco and WP:NC. I have never, ever seen the phrase "Rad Party" used in Canadian politics. This move would make absolutely no sense. Ground Zero | t 20:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. The rule on Wikipedia isn't actually "English whenever possible" — it's technically possible to translate both Bloc Québécois and Parti Québécois, too, but that would result in absurd titles that nobody on the planet actually uses. The rule is actually that we use whichever name, be it English or French, is more documentably in use for the topic in English-language sources. This is a case where the topic is always referred to as "Parti rouge" in both English and French, so the title has to stay at Parti rouge. Bearcat 03:55, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose. Here I am not even certain the most official party name is Parti rouge. Another name was Parti démocratique. I would need to do a little bit of research to find out what the party members called it. --Mathieugp 06:01, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
- Oppose always called Parti rouge in English sources. Kevlar67 03:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discussion
- Add any additional comments:
- The Bloc Quebecois and Parti Quebecois are modern parties that are known exclusively by their french names in English. 70.51.8.30 05:44, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
