The result of the move request was: Moved to Alaska native corporation. If people care a lot about the capitalization they may need to collect some more data and file a new RM, if they don't like this version. EdJohnston (talk) 03:50, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Alaska Native Regional Corporations → Alaska Native Corporation – There are a few issues involved here. First is a WP:COMMONNAME one, in that these are more commonly referred to without the "regional" designation. I found "Alaska Native Corporations" to be more common in general, Books, and Scholar Google searches, so it passes my COMMONNAME rule of thumb. (Theoretically some such results could be referring to any corporation run by Alaska Natives, but I didn't see many false positives.) Second is a WP:SINGULAR issue. While this fits "Articles on groups or classes of specific things," my experiences at Talk:Scottish clan/Archive 1 have made me think I should err on the side of a singular title. Finally, the corresponding category is, so there might be a capitalization issue to discuss (we can also WP:C2D that category based on what happens here). I think the current capitalization is correct, though, since this is a specific type of legal entity. To make things easier on the closer, I will accept any name that excludes "Regional," regardless of plural form or capitalization. --Relisted.

 * Rightfully, this is a sub-topic of Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act rather than an island unto itself, as the corporations were creations of ANCSA. Then again, so were the regions.  For the purposes of this discussion, the use of "regional" appears to be in distinguishing regional corporations from village corporations.  This makes no sense, in that the article covers both.  They are most commonly referred to as "Native corporations", without strict adherence to that capitalization.  "Native corporation" generally refers to a single company.  "ANCSA corporations" also makes sense, but I don't believe that to be in common use, especially outside Alaska. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RadioKAOS  (talk • contribs) 01:36, 11 April 2014‎
