"Red Sorghum" is the title under which this book is published in English, and, hence, the logical title for the English wikipedia page. Similarly, I have changed the title of the volumes to those appearing in the English translation. Gothicartech's previous edit (21:43 29 Jan 2013) changed the name and introduced the chapter titles. I appreciate that Gothicartech probably knows Chinese better than I do (since I know no Chinese), but Howard Goldblatt is the translater that Mo Yan has chosen. Unless there is a clearly documented comment from Mo Yan himself, we should use Goldblatt's translation.

Red Sorghum Clan → Red Sorghum – "Red Sorghum" is the title appearing on the front and back covers of this book and on pages 1 and 2 in its official English translation. Alternatively, "Red Sorghum: A Tale of China" is the title appearing on page 3 and on Amazon. "Red Sorghum Clan" appears to be Gothicartech's translation. "Red Sorghum" is also the title of a movie which is based on this book, but this monir ambiguity should not cause problems on wikipedia. 86.143.192.66 (talk) 22:45, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Red Sorghum (novel) - not sure what new IP user is proposing. The current title "..Clan" is found in Wang Jing's book 1996, but is rare thereafter. Goldblatt's translation "Red Sorghum - A Novel of China" is not visible on Amazon.com cover, nor too commonly used, and Red Sorghum A Family Saga is nearer, but maybe preferred as a way to avoid (novel) per WP:DAB. As for notability this looks like a case of Red Sorghum (novel)Red Sorghum (film), except that it is pretty well inconceivable that a book could more more notable than a film of the book when a film is this famous, and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here. A dab isn't needed per TWODABS, ... note sorghum bicolor is linked in the book article. In ictu oculi (talk) 03:55, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose the target is a different article, and the nominator shows no evidence that in the English language world that the novel has primarity over the film, of if he wants to merge the film and novel articles together, or rename the film (thus needing a multimove request) or what to name the film article. -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 05:24, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
