Attack on Titan: Counter Rockets → Attack on Titan: Hangeki no Noroshi – The official English release by Madman Entertainment in Australia and New Zealand uses the Romaji of the title, rather than an English translation. ([1]) There is no other official English release of this series (that I can find) that uses the title "Attack on Titan: Counter Rockets". Alex Tenshi (talk) 16:57, 17 March 2018 (UTC)--Relisting.

• Comment Some news articles still refer to it as Counter Rockets like Io9 [2] AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 14:20, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
• The link cited by AngusWOOF is from 2015. At the same time, we don't necessarily use official titles. Is there other evidence of what is the series usually referred to as? Dekimasuよ! 21:34, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
• Provide some sources for reference. Google Play iTunes Wagakki Band Official Site Tokyo Otaku Mode NEWS Japan Fair --Ehtowol (talk) 03:38, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
• Ehtowol As User:Dekimasu hinted above; Wikipedia goes by WP:COMMONNAME not official name. So we need to see what most people refer to it as, not just the "rights holder." DA1 (talk) 17:28, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
• DA1 Actually, dTV or Toho didn't provide an official English title for this series per my search, I just listed out what I cited for the article which are related to "Attack on Titan: Hangeki no Noroshi" this title. By the way, I put {{Find sources}} here, it may can help to find out what is the most shown based on the internet search result. --Ehtowol (talk) 04:03, 26 March 2018 (UTC)

• Oppose. The official name of course has little relevance. While I admit I haven't followed all the links given, those I have followed are all primary sources... typically, based on a press release by the distributors, with no interpretation whatsoever. Do reliable secondary sources even exist? And if not, we should be talking AfD, not RM. Andrewa (talk) 16:56, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Yes, ANN covers it with news article [3] but if you're concerned it can't stand on its own, then it can be merged and redirected to the first Attack on Titan live-action film as supporting material (the actors are mainly from that film). AngusWOOF (bark • sniff) 17:23, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

No, that's a press release. If that's the best we can do, then the article is a definite AfD candidate. Yes, maybe merge and redirect would be an option, in which case this RM is moot in any case. Andrewa (talk) 18:20, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
