Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft → Reich Broadcasting Corporation – Per WP:ENGLISH Commonly known in English-language sources as the Reich Broadcasting Corporation; pls see Google books preview: [1].

Oppose. The German name is better-known. We don't have to translate everything into English. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:29, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:USEENGLISH. Rreagan007 (talk) 03:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- WP:UE, contrary to the apparent beliefs of some editors, certainly does not say we should translate everything to English. -- Necrothesp (talk) 09:56, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's true, but it's not us doing the translating here: it's commonly found in English sources (as the proposer states, and as it is given in the first sentence), and not always with the German original, so we should at least have a redirect for it as {{R from other language|en|de}}. We do have German Broadcasting Company as a redirect to it, but I couldn't find it used for this in any online RS. 62.165.227.102 (talk) 05:38, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It may be found, but the most common name is the German original. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:32, 23 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support renaming since there are English sources that use the English name. UnitedStatesian (talk) 19:02, 30 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
There are also English sources that use "German Broadcasting Company" or "German Broadcasting Corporation" or "Reich Broadcasting Company". (While not all of these will refer to the RRG, the ones from around the 1940s are likely to.) 94.21.204.175 (talk) 10:57, 31 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Reopened per request. Dekimasuよ! 07:59, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Dekimasu: I know three relists is a bit much but I've relisted it so it doesn't just gather dust in the backlog and eventually get closed as no consensus again without a final run through the system. SITH (talk) 11:49, 5 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Although the proposed name is found in some books, as is "Reich Broadcasting Company", it doesn't look sufficient to me to qualify as a commonly used name. The German term is found in more English sources, including the two used in this article, and is therefore the WP:COMMONNAME. — Amakuru (talk) 08:44, 9 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose as the form "Reichs-Rundfunk-Gesellschaft" is the common usage in English language publications, although the form " Reichs Rundfunk Gesellschaft" comes in second place. "Reichsrundfunk" without the gesellschaft also occurs. --Bejnar (talk) 16:42, 10 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
