[edit] English name

Per naming conventions (WP:EN), titles of articles should be named in English, with native-language transliterations in the first line. So, I'd move the article myself, but I don't speak French and wouldn't want to make a guess as to what the best translation would be. Drewcifer (talk) 16:17, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

It translates as National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing (according to the French Music Export Office). I'll rename the article accordingly. --Canley (talk) 00:51, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

...I might do some research into what the "most commonly-used English title" is or if there even is one. That naming convention means that the name more widely-used in the English speaking world should be used rather than translating everything as the native title. If the French title (SNEP) is more widely used in English, then it should stay. --Canley (talk) 00:58, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I think it's highly unlikely the an English speaker is going to search for the current title. I don't even know how to type all the letters in the title. I think that caveat to the WP:EN is intended for something like Coup d'état where it's a word in another language that's used as-is in English speak. But a descriptive title like Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique would surely be translated to something in English (since it has a direct translation) rather then be used as is.
