– The transliteration al-Shihr is more common than ash-Shihr. The district article also needs a hyphen. I am unsure if "District" should remain upper case, so have left it. The battle articles should also have lower-case al-. Note: the 1531 article is up for merging and the dab page may become unnecesssary. Srnec (talk) 01:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

 * Ash-Shihr → Al-Shihr
 * Ash Shihr District → Al-Shihr District
 * Battle of Ash-Shihr → Battle of al-Shihr
 * Battle of Ash-Shihr (1531) → Battle of al-Shihr (1531)
 * Battle of Ash-Shihr (1548) → Battle of al-Shihr (1548)
 * Redirect per nom. The use of "al-" instead of "ash-" is not respecting proper Arabic grammar but we should respect WP:COMMONNAME. -Suratrat (talk) 05:01, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
