The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the proposal was move per request. As noted, where there is a common English language version of a title we use that. All of the sources in the article use Beyond the Labyrinth and a news archive search lends strong support as well. Because of the move warring evident, move protection will be placed. If there is a convincing argument for a subsequent move, please make it in a formal request and gain consensus.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 12:10, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Labyrinth no Kanata → Beyond the Labyrinth – Article moved again without discussion; won't revert, instead starting a RM. WP:ENGLISH : "The title of an article should generally use the version of the name of the subject which is most common in the English language"; WP:TITLE: "The choice between anglicized and local spellings should follow English-language usage.." WP:VG/GL: "In general, use the official English title when available." MOS:JAPAN:"You should generally honor the current anglicization used officially by that party as it will often be the form in common usage in English-language reliable sources." The English sources use "Beyond the Labryinth". — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK13:34, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - while not being particularly impressed by the (apparently controversial given edit summary) moves without discussion, it does appear that this is a Japanese entertainment product with Japanese menus and dialogue and no English version? Is that the case? In ictu oculi (talk) 22:19, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It looks that way, yes. I'm not sure it's relevant though, we still base the decision on English sources. I'm unaware of any policy/guideline that asks to name the article following the language used in the product. I'll further quote the VG/GL and MOS:JAPAN guidelines in the nom (but they just say the same thing). WP:VG/JP and common English-title naming practice is how this has been dealt before. This might be controversial if there were few sources, or they used different titles, but they all use English version. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK09:44, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Beyond the Labyrinth → Labyrinth no Kanata – There is no "Beyond the Labyrinth"! It is not a thing that exists. The phrase "Beyond the Labyrinth" has absolutely no connection with the game known as "ラビリンスの彼方". All of those guidelines mean nothing because they do not talk about these situations ever. Do not let fake sources make up titles when we already have perfectly good ones! It doesn't even have anything to do with the "language in the product" or whatever, it has to do with there being ONE title only: "ラビリンスの彼方". Why don't people understand this?

Oppose per reasons in previous move request. As AA already pointed out, if we strictly wanted to do an untranslated title, it'd be with Labyrinth untranslated as well. Arguing "the sources are wrong we should ignore them" is not an argument that is going to get anywhere any time soon. SnowFire (talk) 22:36, 5 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:USEENGLISH. Unless there was no other English title in any form, we'd go with "Rabirinsu no Kanata" or "Labyrinth no Kanata". But there is. So we're using "Beyond the Labyrinth". If we truly had to, though, the original title would have to be romanized from Japanese to English for this site, right? —017Bluefield (talk) 05:35, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Same argument as in the request before, common name as decided by sources. I do not see the merit of the rationale that guidelines mean nothing or sources are fake. It's not shown why the guidelines shouldn't matter in this case or why the otherwise fine sources are unusable here. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK15:19, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

So, it looks like over a week has passed, so it may not be an issue anymore, but an editor attempted to redirect the article, and then was challenged, and the redirect was undone. I'm strongly against the redirect, there are plenty of third party sources present, and more that can be found. Just giving my two cents, in hopes that, if it comes up again, I will be pinged, or a general discussion will occur, as there is visibly present opposition present now.

Feel free to use these to aid further research or to improve the article
(Disclaimer: I'm not saying all these sources are reliable or super relevant, probably more digging needs to be done, I just mean that these are rabbit-holes people can go into)
