Anthony Yaar?Anthoni - Yaar? – Name as it appears in film. TamilMirchi (talk) 21:21, 26 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Not with a hyphen. Most cited sources appear to just use Anthony Yaar? However, if some intermediate punctuation mark is needed, it should be an en-dash, not a hyphen. And between "Antony" versus "Anthony" versus "Anthoni", most of the cited sources seem to use "Anthony". —BarrelProof (talk) 04:23, 27 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Weak oppose: I'm surprised to see that no one else has commented here and that there has been no response from the proposer. IMDb uses "Anthony Yaar?", which is already the current title. As I said before, most of the cited sources appear to use that. The original film is not in English, and I wonder whether the proposer is just looking at the non-English title shown in the film and translating it. In any case, we're supposed to refer to English-language independent reliable sources, not what appears in films. I see no clear need to change the current article title, since that is what most of the cited sources are using. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:49, 2 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
  • Closing comment: I have created a redirect from the title the screen credits use. But we don't seem to have a category for such redirs. Andrewa (talk) 08:30, 3 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Note: {{R from alternative spelling}} seems appropriate. It is currently synonymous with {{R from alternative punctuation}}, and that redirect is a minor variation of both spelling and punctuation. —BarrelProof (talk) 04:06, 4 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
