Super Buster Bros. → Super Pang – The game was first released as Super Pang, see the page in question, as well as Mitchell Corporation for further information and references. The game page should refer to its original name rather than the name of a regional release. I'll also personally volunteer to replace all media with images showing the canonical, original game name. —Flicky1984 (talk) 10:36, 1 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy close the previous move request was closed as not moved 5 days previous to this request.--76.67.170.18 (talk) 05:01, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Not really getting what your reason is. Have you seen WP:COMMONNAME? Most sources I've seen tend to use the name Super Buster Bros. instead of Super Pang, so I don't know why we shouldn't apply that here. Namcokid 47 ^(Contribs) 17:09, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is part of a larger rationalisation of all pages related to this series; to name them after the original release of each game. As such this move should be considered as part of the whole group, rather than individually. The previous request is somewhat unfortunate timing. —Flicky1984 (talk) 13:39, 2 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Not this again. I'll say what i said before: If the game was released as Super Buster Bros. in North America, the article's title should be kept as such. If the game was only released in Japan and Europe as Super Pang then i would give this a pass. This move request is just becoming too petty. We, the editors, are not obligated to stay in line with the game's original name. Roberth Martinez (talk) 19:24, 5 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Super Buster Bros. → Super Pang – The video game is called Super Buster Bros. only in the U.S. and Canada; in the whole world it is called Super Pang Carnby (talk) 09:13, 5 September 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. Jerm (talk) 17:59, 12 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support per nominator and for consistency, as the original video game is at Pang (video game). JIP | Talk 12:59, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Which countries it was released in under the name isn't relevant, just how commonly the name is used. If consistency is the issue, the logical thing to do would be to move Pang (video game) to Buster Bros., since the other two articles related to the series both use the North American title (see Buster Bros. Collection). And even Pang (video game) uses the North American cover art in its infobox, so it's a matter of one page move versus two page moves plus three new infobox images.--Martin IIIa (talk) 03:05, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is the English-language Wikipedia, not the North American Wikipedia. See this edit where Buster Bros. was moved to Pang (video game) as that's how it's known everywhere outside North America. JIP | Talk 13:45, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't address anything I said, and seems to suggest that your support is based on an anti-North America bias.--Martin IIIa (talk) 14:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - If the game was released as Super Buster Bros. in North America, the article's title should be kept as such. Now, if the game was only released in Europe as Super Pang then I would give this a pass but the move doesn't make sense at all. Here's an advice to you JIP: Wikipedia is a neutral website so don't bring your bias into articles. You're helping no one with that mentality. Just a friendly advice...
