Well-received
editI removed the following sentence:
These cover versions are usually well-received by audiences.[1][2]
The references don't verify that covers are usually well-received by audiences, they just give two examples of times that they were. And in any case, this doesn't seem to be a particularly encyclopedic bit of information anyway (it doesn't greatly increase the reader's understanding of this topic). rʨanaɢ (talk) 12:33, 21 December 2010 (UTC)

The Moon Represents My Heart → Yue liang dai biao wo de xin – The current title is one of the English translations of 月亮代表我的心; there are so other many. The suggested title may likely meet the standards of WP:NC-CHINA. How about Yueliang dai biao wo de xin? Gh87 (talk) 23:49, 8 September 2011 (UTC) In response to Kauffner, I just wanted to provide a good example of Chinese heritage. Also, as mentioned in a reply to the IP address, the pinyin title with "de" has more hits than the English translation, while the pinyin title with "di" has less. --Gh87 (talk) 21:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:ENGLISH. The English seems to be more common – "the moon represents my heart" (807,000 results) vs. "yue liang dai biao wo di xin" (17,300) – and by far most of the article's sources use "The Moon Represents My Heart". 155.33.149.25 (talk) 23:43, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
- You forgot this: "yue liang dai biao wo de xin". The results with "de" are 986,000 hits versus the results with "di" are 17,300. --Gh87 (talk) 21:37, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
- Oppose. The New York Times story cited in article gives the title as, "The Moon Represents My Heart", so that would seem to be the obvious choice. Here is another source that gives the title the same way. The nom does not provide a source or a reason to give the title any other way. Kauffner (talk) 14:26, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
I hope we don't retitle the article based on how You Tubers title their videos. I get 10 Google Book results for "The Moon Represents My Heart", five for "Yueliang Daibiao Wo De Xin". A margin of five is not decisive, but every result for the pinyin form is in fact a gloss along the lines of, "The Moon Represents My Heart" (Yueliang daibiao wo de xin).

- Oppose - Most reliable sources refer to the song as "The Moon Represents My Heart" in English. - PM800 (talk) 04:19, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

The Moon Represents My Heart → Moon Represents My Heart – I don't think I must type in "the" to search for this song, do I? Even when many references include "The", the whole title itself is an unofficial translation of the Chinese song. ...Well, there is only one moon near Earth. There may be be many a moon per planet, like moons of Mars. Sarcasm aside, since the current title is not the official English translation, the "The" may be not necessary. George Ho (talk) 06:53, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose - Most reliable sources refer to the song as "The Moon Represents My Heart" in English. However, I just created a redirect from "Moon Represents My Heart". - PM800 (talk) 12:46, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose; proper names can include "the" sometimes and here it should as well. Redirects are cheap, and PM800 was wise to create one. Red Slash 19:02, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose literal translation. There is no article in Chinese grammar, and the current title is a more linguistically correct title. -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 10:01, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
