Call of TunisiaNidaa Tounes – We're translating a party's name only if that's the more common form used in English language publications. However, following the great success of this new party, most international publications and agencies, including BBC, VoA, NYT call it "Nidaa Tounes". PanchoS (talk) 11:29, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Support, "Call of Tunisia" also seems fairly ambiguous. Gregkaye 12:28, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Support, on top of that it's the name the party itself uses. Abjiklɐm (tɐlk) 13:39, 6 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Support: WP:UE asks us to follow the use in English-language sources. Most of the major English-language media seem to use "Nidaa Tounes": in addition to the already mentioned NYT and BBC, they include Reuters, Aljazeera, The Guardian, The Economist. --RJFF (talk) 15:05, 9 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
"Nidaa Tounes" is also used in scholarly articles: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] --RJFF (talk) 15:12, 9 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Support: I was really surprised to find this article under "Call of Tunisia". I've only seen that noted in the press as the translation of the name, just as "rebirth" is given as the translation of "Ennahda" but isn't given as the name of the party. —Largo Plazo (talk) 17:06, 9 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Support. As RJFF and PanchoS noted, we should follow the lead of major media outlets, and they clearly prefer the romanized version (recent Google News hits: 8500 vs. 2).—Neil P. Quinn (talk) 02:47, 12 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
