1653 East Smyrna earthquake → 1653 East Symirna earthquake – No current discussion took place prior to this move and the move was left incomplete. We have the new article without its associated talk page (the talk page was not also moved). Several other articles were left in this state today by the same user.

 * Comment I'm unfamiliar with the latter name, and wonder why your other RM re Smyrna-Izmir is different, in being Turkish in the desired change; is Symirna a modern Turkish term? My comments re the other Smyrna and Constantinople RMs are the same as they would be here.  Vote reserved for now.Skookum1 (talk) 05:11, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose Symirna is completely wrong and neither exists in Turkish nor in English.--Chauahuasachca (talk) 11:02, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Commonly called Smyrna in English-language sources until well into the 20th century. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:38, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
