1688 Smyrna earthquake → 1688 Izmir 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 As with the 1509 Constantinople quake, and even moreso in this case, using the Turkish name for what was at the time a Greek city, and remained so under Ottoman rule, is inappropriate. Reserving vote for now.  Are these being listed at the relevant Greek and Turkish history WikiProjects/groups?Skookum1 (talk) 05:09, 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)
