Requested move 29 January 2021

 * 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 discussion. 

The result of the move request was: Moved as proposed. Wikipedia isn't supposed to be a bureaucracy - the fact that no one has commented in explicit support or opposition is not supposed to impede the move. The only opposition was the idea of dropping the gerund, but consistency wins out. Red  Slash  23:50, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Black board (Soviet policy) → Blacklisting (Soviet policy) – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Most English-language sources refer to this as blacklists, blacklisting, blacklisted (applied to individuals, farms, villages, or raions). Some don’t mention the black boards at all, and those that do generally only by way of explanation (since blacklisting is the English translation). Examples:

 * Two of the sources you gave used "blacklist", is there any reason why "blacklisting" is preferred? "Blacklist" sounds better, whereas "blacklisting" sounds too generic. Hzh (talk) 11:26, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * I think all three sources use all three forms outside of the snippets I chose to illustrate the concept, and there are more sources one can consult. This article is about the actions against people during historical time (could be expanded with background to 1921 or earlier) including the motivation, selection, listing, resulting punitive measures, relationship to other issues, and long-term effects, and not restricted to just lists or listing, so I chose the noun describing the action that I consider to infer the broader view. Seems clearer. Also follows the article title for the general concept, “Blacklisting.” —Michael Z. 16:01, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
