They should go on Market-Based Title, so Josef was right to delete them.

The description of Completely Different Title says Market-Based Title is only for same-language changes.

Ah, my mistake! Still, I believe Josef is in the right. If the trope doesn't fit, then the trope doesn't fit.

And yes, "at the Helvetians" is bad English. "among the Helvetians" isn't.

Okay, but I just looked at Market-Based Title and a lot of the examples there are actually translated versions as well. So either one of the pages is wrong.

In that case, the Market-Based Title examples are wrong.

I didn't know that "at the Britons/Helvetians" (I changed it back to "among") was bad English. But I maintains that I did the right thing by deleting the other examples. A title that is only slighty altered isn't really worthy of any trope in my opinion, especially when you put it in the same basket of Coke en Stock which gets changed to The Red Sea Sharks.

^ I agree with that logic. Completely Different Title should be, well, completely different, and not simply "the new title isn't an exact translation of the original/is incomplete". A slight paraphrase shouldn't count.

What Adept said. These aren't completely different.
