Talk:Le petit picador jaune

Move page

I believe that this article title is incorrect. The title "Picador" has often been used to refer to the painting in the media, however the Picasso Museum in Malaga refers to the painting with the title, "The Little Yellow Picador" (reference citation 7 in the article page). I therefore suggest that this would be a more appropriate title for this page.Fieryninja (talk) 13:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

The title "The Little Yellow Picador" or "Le petit Picador jaune" is also used by the Musee Picasso Paris.(see citation - in heading Background).Fieryninja (talk) 12:44, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

@Fieryninja: when considering articles names, the name commonly used by sources should be used. By your own admission, Picador is used by many sources. The "official" name(s) of the work can be mentioned in the article and links from those names can be redirected here. But I am by no means an expert on Picasso (you are!) so I don't know just how common Picador is in comparison to the other titles. It would be useful to count these in sources (i.e. a Google/Google Books/Google Scholar search of the relevant literature). – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 16:31, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Ok thank you for your help. I will give this some more thought and as you rightly said, will consider how this painting is referred to in the majority of sources. Fieryninja (talk) 16:38, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
