Yer what ever. We need to make the difference between those seeking assylum and those who want to profit from it. Enlil Ninlil (talk) 07:50, 26 May 2015 (UTC)

Requested move 4 December 2020

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 

– The refugee crisis has continued well beyond 2015. As you can see from articles such as this one from the BBC: Rohingya relocated to remote island against their will, rights groups say. "2015 Rohingya refugee crisis" makes it sound like the refugee crisis was limited to that specfic year. Also I believe WP:COMMONNAMES applies here as news outlets rarely mention 2015, most just use either Rohingya refugee crisis or Asia migrant crisis.

 * 2015 Rohingya refugee crisis → Rohingya refugee crisis
 * Rohingya refugee crisis → ?
 * Note: the Rohingya refugee crisis title is over a set-index article with significant content, so it must also be renamed to make way for the first nomination in this request. This was not noticed until this date, so this request should continue for seven (7) more days from this date.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 00:41, 12 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Oppose. Proposed name is currently a two-way DAB. No evidence that this article is the primary topic of that name. Andrewa (talk) 17:38, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Look again, my friend (I missed this, too), Rohingya refugee crisis is a set-index article, not a dab page, so it will have to be renamed if this request is granted.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 00:11, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Oppose — There have been several notable periods of refugee crises involving the Rohingya people, in 1978, 1991–1992, 2015, 2016 and 2017. Articles with titles like Rohingya genocide are misleading when their content only covers recent developments. It implies that their genocide only started around 2016 when it has been reoccurring for at least four decades. Centre Left Right  ✉ 23:13, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The common name argument is also misguided because a phrase as ambiguous as "Rohingya refugee crisis" has also been used to reference the other periods listed above. Of course the sources cited in this article would not say "2015 Rohingya refugee crisis" because the most recent crisis was happening when those articles were written. "Rohingya refugee crisis" is used here by World Vision and here by MSF/Doctors Without Borders in reference to the 2017 Rohingya refugee crisis, not the 2015 one. Again, they don't specify it being the "2017 Rohingya refugee crisis" because they're writing about a current event. A move of this page to "Rohingya refugee crisis" would require much broader coverage. If the proposed move goes, it will create the same problems that Rohingya genocide has – using a broad(er) term for an article covering a specific time period.
