:I feel like we shouldn't have this discussion in English, but I guess we will to save time and effort. I did think that sumti article titles made the most sense (sumti describe ''things'', articles are about things, and an article's should describe what it's about), but several people on IRC disagreed with me. I'm glad you started this discussion on-wiki. This is a good opportunity for the (mostly nonexistent) Wikipedia community to make a final decision. There are a few points to consider:
*Adopting the convention of sumti article titles would require adding ''lo'' to the beginnings of a lot of titles. It might be difficult to do this automatically. We would also have to change a lot of titles (but I would guess fewer) if we decided to require selbri titles.
*We could require that the title of an article be a selbri whose x1 is the subject of the article. This would remove the need for a word, ''lo'', that doesn't seem to add much to article titles. I'm not sure whether this convention makes sense.
*It's policy on the English Wikipedia that article titles are noun phrases, but they don't always refer to the subject of the article. Sometimes, as with lists, they refer to the article itself. It's not clear how this distinction should translate to Lojban.
*If we decide to require selbri titles, we need to decide what to do for titles that can't easily be turned into selbri. Adding ''me'' to the beginning of a lot of titles is no better than adding ''lo''. Adopting the cmevla-brivla merge would help when the title is a name, but a lot of other special cases will probably come up. .i be'i la'o gy [[pilno:KSFT|KSFT]] gy
