Campbell Island group → Campbell Islands – by far the more common name, and is used by both the Department of Conservation and the New Zealand government. This form of the name is also used in many (almost certainly most) New Zealand atlases. The proposed name is more natural to anyone familiar with the subject, more concise, and fits in with the pattern of other New Zealand subantarctic islands' article names (such as Auckland Islands and Antipodes Islands). Renaming is required to bring the article in line with proposed changes to the category tree, as discussed here. Grutness...wha?  02:08, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Support More common and natural name; this one seems pretty specific to Wikipedia and mirror sites. RevelationDirect (talk) 02:36, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Support per nomination and RevelationDirect. &mdash;Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 14:56, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Support, as it's rather uncontroversial.  Schwede 66  19:07, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
