Mystery (Faye Wong album)Mi (Faye Wong album) – Although commonly translated as Mystery by fans alike, "" has multiple meanings. There is no official English title, and, besides one dead source, there are no other sources using Mystery. Adding another term "album" would not help matters. (Mi is a redirect page.)

As the article says, it's Category:Mandopop albums. In ictu oculi (talk) 07:26, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did for those, reluctantly. I'm looking for my copy of a pullout from The Straits Times which I'm pretty sure had a section on this album and called it "Mystery". That still seems to me the natural name to use, if cited. Still, I won't mind too much if it gets moved, as articles & templates can include good-faith translations alongside the pinyin. – Fayenatic London 08:50, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose bit of a conundrum, but I don't like this trend of renaming cantopop albums merely for the paucity of sources for the various 'English titles'. If anything there isn't such a thing as standardised cantonese pinyin, and the sinicised names as proposed look weird, are completely meaningless to the English-speaker, and it has to be said these sinicised names have definitely not passed into English language, and in such a case I would say an approximative yet elegantly translated English title is preferable. -- Ohconfucius ping / poke 09:13, 26 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
