Mademoiselle de Joncquières → Lady J – WP:COMMONNAME. 90.249.169.199 (talk) 22:41, 17 April 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. Since it is a French film, there is nothing wrong with leaving it under the French title. Fortdj33 (talk) 16:47, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

- Support. Our policy for films is to preference the title most commonly seen in English-language sources. I created this article at a time when the film had only seen film festival release and wasn't in wide commercial distribution yet, so the sources that were available at that time still featured only the original French title — but this film has now gone into full theatrical release as Lady J. Accordingly, Lady J is now the title actually seen in the preponderance of sources that the film actually now has, and thus the title we have to preference. We can leave a film at its original language title in cases where the film doesn't have English-language coverage at all, and/or cases where the English-language coverage just reflects the original-language title instead of a new English one (e.g. Incendies just stayed Incendies even in English Canada and the United States and Australia, and was not retitled, or covered by the media as, "Fires") — but if a film goes into English-language countries with an English-language title that's different from its original title, and thus gets covered under the English-language title by English-language sources, then the English-language title takes precedence over the original.
