Talk:Centre-left coalition (Italy)/Archive 1

Rewriting of part of the page
I had to rewrite part of the page, because some informations were inaccurate. Indeed the "Centre-left coalition" was not born in 2007 and it doesn't concern only the 2008 and 2013 coalitions, but Union and Olive Tree too. Pratically "Centre-left coalition" is a general term that concerns more coalitions (Olive Tree, Union, 2008 coalition, Italy. Common Good)--Wololoo (talk) 22:53, 16 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I would like to point out that we have another article about Italian centre-left which is Centre-left in Italy. This one was only an article about the centre-left coalitions after the dissolution of The Union in 2008. -- Nick.mon (talk) 22:31, 20 February 2017 (UTC)

Article name
I boldy moved the article back to its original name, Centre-left coalition, because no disambiguation was needed. The concept of "centre-left" is broader than the Italian context, but "centre-left coalition" is specifically used in Italy: there is no WP article on any other country's "centre-left coalition". For consistency, see Talk:Centre-right coalition and my comment there. --Checco (talk) 07:31, 28 November 2017 (UTC)


 * The article was started by User:Nick.mon under the "Center-left coalition" name on 2 November 2014. Without much debate, User:Wololoo moved the article to "Centre-left (Italy)" on 8 February 2017. I moved the article back on 28 November 2017. Wololoo moved the article again yesterday and I moved it back today. Wololoo's reason for the move is that "the title of this page was already discussed, excessively generic without disambiguation". Actually, the name was not discussed and this talk is an evidence of that. "Centre-left coalition" has been the original and longstanding name of the article and, in my view, no disambiguation is needed. The concept of "centre-left" is broader than the Italian context, but "centre-right coalition" is specifically used in Italy: there is no en.Wikipedia article on any other country's "centre-left coalition". This thread parallels the one at Talk:Centre-right coalition. --Checco (talk) 08:41, 10 January 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree that we should stick with Nick.mon's original (established) article title, for the above reasons.--Autospark (talk) 15:07, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Regional Councils
Braganza (talk) 17:10, 6 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Uhm, interesting! Anyway, I would not include this table and I would remove the table on EP election results. --Checco (talk) 17:18, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

2004 EP election
The result of this election was inserted by me, but I was wrong. In the 2004 EP Election the Olive Tree was a simple electoral list between DS and DL (an anticipation of the PD): this information doesn't concerns the entire italian centre-left coalition, but only the Olive Tree. Indeed this page has not to replicate any information about the Olive tree and it does not indicate any electoral results for the european elections. I don't understand why to continue to restore information not directly related to this page--Wololoo (talk) 20:40, 4 May 2018 (UTC)


 * It is so nice that we can discuss on the issue in talk and not just from edit summaries!
 * At that point (2004) the joint list was the centre-left, as in 2008 the centre-left was composed only by two parties. The 2004 EP election was a very important turning point in the history of the centre-left coalition. I would keep it in the article and I would also keep most parties in tables (meaning colours, ideologies, etc.), differently from what Wololoo recently did here and at Centre-right coalition. Parties like the PSDI, the MRE, the PRI, etc. are definitely more relevant that minor lists which had never elects and had never a real national structure, as SOS Italy, MIR, etc. However, we can include also them in tables. --Checco (talk) 09:09, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm quite strongly in favour of keeping the 2004 EP election section – it was an important point when The Olive Tree became a tighter, smaller group of parties later leading to the formation of both the PD and The Union. As for parties, I think we should keep the listing of party line-ups in this article as comprehensive as possible for historical comparison purposes.--Autospark (talk) 19:51, 5 May 2018 (UTC)
 * About the smallest parties, it is not correct to establish discretionally which ones can be included in the table and which are not, rather it is better to list all them in the table. About the 2004 EP election, there is no direct link between this election and the 2008 general election, since the next general election was that of 2006. The table about the electoral results doesn't include the result of the 2004 EP election, furthermore the statement "At that point (2004) the joint list was the centre-left" is untrue: in 2004 the centre-left coalition also included other parties (Greens, Italian Communists and IdV for example). For this reason that section is absolutely partial,  in 2004 the centre-left was not composed only of DS and DL and this information concerns only the Olive Tree, not the entire centre-left. Indeed, this page must not replicate all the information on the Olive tree, but it must show the composition of the coalition in the various elections. It was my mistake to put the 2004 EP election in this page, because I copied the content of the Olive tree page without analyzing what was suitable and what was not. For consistency that section should be removed from this page and left only in the Olive Tree page. --Wololoo (talk) 12:38, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:Autospark: in 2004 "The Olive Tree became a tighter, smaller group of parties later leading to the formation" of the PD. There was no centre-left coalition larger than The Olive Tree (list) in early 2004 and there was not a larger centre-left coalition until Prodi launched the Grand Democratic Alliance (later The Union) in late 2004. I took 2008 only as an example, I did not say that there was a direct link between 2004 and 2008. --Checco (talk) 18:48, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * "There was no centre-left coalition larger than The Olive Tree (list) in early 2004" is a denial of the facts: DS, DL, SDI, PDCI, Greens, IDV were allies everywhere in local elections, the centre-left was not only DS and DL--Wololoo (talk) 19:05, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
 * However, if you want to keep that paragraph, it will remain in his place, but this remains an error anyway--Wololoo (talk) 19:24, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

Liste civetta
User:Braganza wrote the following message in my talk page, answering to two of my edits ( and ):

"About that there is in the German Wiki article New Land, Abolition of votes deduction"

I have not understood exactly what he/she meant. However, I would not include the so-called "liste civetta" in this article and, by the way, I am note sure that the traslations offered are good enough. I did not even understood what "New Land" (would "New Country" be a better translation?) and "Abolition of votes deduction" (no idea on how to improve the translation from Italian) were about in the first place. I wrote this comment also in Talk:Centre-right coalition. --Checco (talk) 06:40, 28 June 2018 (UTC)

Conversion of the page and new name
(and other interested users): I would like to discuss again the matter of the name of this page (and of Centre-right coalition); I think that these titles are deeply ambiguous and not univoque, since they are not proper names of the Italian coalitions, but can also be referred to numerous other cases (although they are mainly used for Italian politics): for this reason I want to propose to move this page to another title (Centre-left coalition in Italy/Centre-left coalition of Italy/Centre-left coalition (Italy)?) using the generic title for a new page that lists all the pages about the centre-left (and centre-right) coalitions in the world. The current titles don't seem appropriate for these pages, I think it would be better to find an agreement here, before resorting to Requested moves. Conversion of links would not be a big problem, they are not very numerous. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 21:55, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I don’t known how many other centre-left coalitions there are in the world. However, if we want to be more specific, I would rename the page “Centre-left coalition (Italy)”. -- Nick.mon (talk) 22:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * There are specific centre-left/right alliances with a page on Wikipedia, I think that the generic "Centre-left coalition / Centre-right coalition" should be used to list them. I also think that "Centre-left coalition (Italy)" would be the best solution for this page. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 22:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)
 * We should keep the pages titled exactly as they are (Centre-left coalition and Centre-right coalition). There has been no need or requirement to disambiguate either of the the pages so far, so let us keep the status quo.--Autospark (talk) 15:43, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with User:Autospark that we should keep the pages named as they are as there is no need to disambiguate them so far. Of course, "centre-right" and "centre-left" are generic concepts (we have Centre-right politics and Centre-left politics, indeed), but only in the Italian context coalitions are informally but consistently referred as "centre-right coalition" and "centre-left coalition". This said, I would like to thank User:SDC for seeking consensus first before editing and opening this useful thread. Hope others will have their say. --Checco (talk) 05:51, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

I interpellated the users who intervened in the previous discussion on this topic, in the absence of consent I proceed to the formal request.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:54, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

Requested move 2 October 2019

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: No consensus. (non-admin closure) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:29, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

– I think that the current titles are ambiguous and not univoque. Indeed these are not proper names of the Italian coalitions, but are only informal names: "Centre-left coalition/Centre-right coalition" are terms used frequently for Italian politics, but they are also used in many other cases (see, ), so I think they need a further specification ("Italian centre-left/right coalition" or Centre-left/right coalition in Italy" too would be good as titles). "Centre-left coalition" and "Centre-right coalition" should be used as a sort of disambiguation pages where to list the various centre-left/right coalitions in the World. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 08:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Centre-left coalition → Centre-left coalition (Italy)
 * Centre-right coalition → Centre-right coalition (Italy)
 * Support. Any country can have centre-left or centre-right coalitions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:08, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Obvious support really surprising. In ictu oculi (talk) 12:26, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Oppose – there has been previous no requirement to disambiguate either page during the almost five years of their existence, and that situation seems to still stand.--Autospark (talk) 13:12, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What other ones are there that could have articles? Even if not a proper noun if these are the only ones we can have articles on the I don't really see a need to move.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 14:01, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * They're hardly the only centre-left and centre-right coalitions in history! For a start, the wartime governments in Britain could be seen as centre-left coalitions. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:20, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The British wartime governments were and are usually called National governments, never centre-left coalitions.--Autospark (talk) 16:49, 2 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I know what they're called, but it's still what they were. "Centre-left coalition" is a generic term and therefore needs disambiguation. I would note that a Google search shows the term has also been used in the media to describe coalitions in Finland, Norway, Sweden, Ireland, Israel, Denmark, Spain, etc. "Centre-right coalition" has been used in New Zealand, Australia, Latvia, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Belarus, Spain, Croatia, etc. And that's just recently. These are generic terms. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:58, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Exactly, it is used in many other cases, it is not an exclusive Italian term. From the page layout, it looks like the coalition's proper name, but it is only an informal term used in Italy as elsewhere.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 20:48, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
 * @User talk:Crouch, Swale: Can you further explain if you oppose or support the proposed move? --Checco (talk) 06:04, 9 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Oppose — There is no need to disambiguate this articles, as there are no articles named "Centre-left coalition (France)" or "Centre-left coalition (Germany)". It would be patently redundant. Some other countries have "centre-left" coalitions, but only in Italy "centre-left coalition" has become virtually a proper noun. In fact, as a broad disambiguation, we already have Centre-left and that connects infos on several countries. --Checco (talk) 14:06, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * "Virtually a proper noun" is a pretty exaggerated consideration, it remains a generic expression in all respects also in Italy. I have also proposed other solutions to avoid disambiguation in the titles, anyway it is difficult to deny that the current titles are not ambiguous for a non-Italian reader.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 22:10, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The expression is widely used (and not in generic terms) only in Italy. Most en.Wikipedia article names can be ambiguous for most readers, but those readerS get the chance to read articles and navigate through links. That is what Wikipedia is all about. Otherwise, we should have long article names even when disambiguation is not needed like "Italy (European country)", "Mona Lisa (portrait by Leonardo)", "The Joshua Tree (U2 music album)", "Forza Italia (Italian political party)", etc. Pure nonsense. The is already a broad article functioning as disambiguation: Centre-left politics. --Checco (talk) 06:32, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I respect the opinions of everyone, but... are you comparing the Mona Lisa with the Centre-left coalition??? This comparison is pure nonsense... "Most en.Wikipedia article names can be ambiguous for most readers": according to Article titles, "The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize", "The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for" and "The title unambiguously identifies the article's subject": they are basic rules. It cannot be said that the current titles respect these criteria, and I say this as an Italian, furthermore I would also support other titles like Italian centre-left coalition, without disambiguation. Yours seems to me a quite italocentric vision, as I have already shown "Centre-left coalition" is used in many cases, certainly not only for Italy (see ).--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:35, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Maybe you missed my point. Most Wikipedia articles are on subjects people would not search for. I am not Italo-centric, I am not event Italian. Same for User:Autospark. The fact is, as one user pointed above, "even if not a proper noun if these are the only ones we can have articles", a further disambiguation would be quite redundant. Centre-right politics and Centre-left politics are already disambiguation pages. --Checco (talk) 06:04, 9 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Weak support. I always found it weird that this page with such a generic name refers only to the Italian centre-left (same for centre-right). I think a disambiguation is not strictly needed, as other editors say, however it would explain and identify the article topic immediately from the title, which I think is good per WP:PRECISION and WP:NCPARTY. --Ritchie92 (talk) 08:59, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I see your point, but, as I pointed, we already have Centre-right politics and Centre-left politics. --Checco (talk) 06:04, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

"Background"
Hello Is there a reliable source that links the "Organic Centre-left" of the 1960s/70s with the present-day centre-left coalition? Or is it your original research? Kind regards, --RJFF (talk) 08:17, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi, I must admit it's only an original research. The modern Italian centre-left inspired itself to the cooperation between DC, PSI and PCI, but there are no real links between the two coalitions. -- Nick.mon (talk) 08:24, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
 * The two coalitions have little in common and I am not even sure that there was any inspiration, especially as the "Organic Centre-left" did not include by any mean the PCI. I much appreciate User:Nick.mon's work, but I would probably cut that section. Not up to me, anyway! --Checco (talk) 16:04, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Requested move 19 September 2022

 * 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 to Centre-left coalition (Italy) and Centre-right coalition (Italy). ''' The option with brackets seems to be the most supported. Per WP:OTHEROPTIONS a new request can be created at any time to suggest another name. Old names to redirect to the Italian coalitions for now. A WP:RfD can be started to discuss new target. (closed by non-admin page mover) Vpab15 (talk) 15:24, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

– I made a similar request in the past, despite only two objections it was rejected. The main reason for those oppositions was the non-need for disambiguation. The problems concerning the current titles of these two coalitions are evident: in particular, they completely fail Article titles, since they are evidently Italo-centric, while centre-right and centre-left coalitions are present in many countries of the world. For these reasons the indication of nationality appears indispensable; the terms "Italian centre-right coalition" and "Italian centre-left coalition", besides being precise, are widely used in books and academic papers. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 14:49, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Centre-left coalition → Italian centre-left coalition
 * Centre-right coalition → Italian centre-right coalition
 * Support. A useful improvement in WP:PRECISION. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 18:15, 19 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Definitely "Italian centre-left coalition" is not a WP:COMMON name for the coalition, which is just known as "centre-left coalition". Similar for the centre-right. See also for example this Google search (only 2,800 hits) vs this (with >80,000 hits). Yakme (talk) 07:50, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Yakme So how do we distinguish these coalitions from other center-right and center-left coalitions? A solution must be found. The problem of the names of these two pages has been going on for too many years now, it would be incredibly localistic and Italo-centric even in it.wikipedia, frankly it is nothing short of strange that an international reader, looking for "center-right coalition" or "centre-left coalition", find himself reading only about the Italian coalitions, it is a clear contrast with Article titles. It is evident that these terms do not only concern the Italian coalitions, also your research proves this, since you also entered the word "Italy" in the Google search to get 80,000 hits. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 07:59, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter to me if the page is renamed "Centre-left coalition (Italy)" or "Italian centre-left coalition" or "Centre-left coalition in Italy", but nationality in this case is essential, WP:PRECISION is a really important principle for page titles.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 08:03, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * So how do we distinguish these coalitions from other center-right and center-left coalitions? I agree that a disambiguation is needed, but this is not the case for "natural disambiguation" given that the proposed DAB title is not commonly used at all. I would support parenthetical disambiguation (see also WP:NCDAB), i.e. something like "Centre-left coalition (Italy)". Yakme (talk) 08:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @Yakme I agree with that title myself, but it was rejected in the previous request due to the disambiguation in parentheses. I believe that the time has come to find a more appropriate name for these pages, I am open to any other version that does not correspond to the current titles, blatantly Italo-centric and therefore inadequate for the purpose...--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 08:25, 20 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose – I don't see any reason to change the established article names; there hasn't been any significant confusion until now. I could hypothetically see a case for renaming both articles if there were en.wiki articles created with the phrases "centre-left coalition" and "centre-right coalition" inside the titles, in which case we would rename the articles on the Italian alliances as "centre-left coalition (Italy)" and "centre-right coalition (Italy)". But that is only a future hypothetical as things currently stand.--Autospark (talk) 20:29, 20 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose – There is no need of disambiguation as "centre-left coalition" and "centre-right coalition" are expressions used mainly in Italy and/or only generically in other countries. To be clear, I strongly oppose also any notion of "centre-left coalition (Italy)" and "centre-right coalition (Italy)". --Checco (talk) 05:58, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose – we should not invent new names Braganza (talk) 11:41, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Far too generic. But Centre-left coalition (Italy) and Centre-right coalition (Italy) would probably be better. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Strong support per Necrothesp; many countries have such coalitions, it is very WP:ASTONISHing to think that Wikipedia thinks Italy has the only ones.  -- 65.92.247.226 (talk) 05:46, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Those are coalitions generically defined that way, in the Italian case it is a defined coalition known with that name. --Checco (talk) 14:10, 24 September 2022 (UTC)
 * These articles do not use Proper Noun format for their page names, so If This Is A PROPER NOUN, then it should still not stay at this location. It should CAPITALIZE The First Letter Of Each Term. The way it is written, it is indeed just a description and not a name of such a coalition. If it is to be a name, it needs to be capitalized. Thus the articles must be renamed in some manner. -- 65.92.247.226 (talk) 10:32, 28 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Support – Centre-right and centre-left coalitions exist in other countries. ITN on the Main Page talks about a centre-right coalition forming a majority government in Sweden - that's one example right there. Aria1561 (talk) 01:25, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The current notable Swedish coalition is described more as a "right-leaning bloc." Also it does not have its on Wikipedia article yet. It is not "The centre-right coalition." ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat ) 08:02, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Irrelevant. "Bloc" is a synonym for "coalition"; the collective of Swedish parties could quite easily be called a coalition alternatively. Regardless, the main point here is that "centre-left/right coalition" is too generic of a name that can be applied to other countries; it isn't and should not be applied strictly to Italy's government. Aria1561 (talk) 23:35, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Aria1561, it isn't a name applied to "Italy's government", or any government coalition, it's a specific name for two long-running alliances of parties, one of the centre-left (formed initially around the Olive Tree) and another of the centre-right (initially formed around the Pole of Freedoms/Pole of Good Government). Neither of these articles describe any cabinets of Italy past of present, in fact several Italian governments, including the outgoing government were made up of parties from both or neither coalition.--Autospark (talk) 14:59, 27 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Weak oppose – A google news search of "centre-right coalition" or "centre-left coalition" returns about 50% Italian politics, which I think is a good indication that this is a specific Italian WP:COMMONNAME. That being said, I would completely understand these being redirects to centre-left poltics and such. I don't have strong opinions, but I do feel Italy has a strong case. ~ Maplestrip/Mable ( chat ) 08:02, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment Italy has surely a strong case, but it has no exclusivity on these definitions. The sources that use these terms, unlike Wikipedia, are already referred to Italy. Furthermore, they are not proper names, but only generic terms to indicate the two coalitions (often called only "centre-right" and "centre-left").--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 17:26, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. The current name is way too generic of a name, imo, especially given how common usage of the terms "center/centre", "right", and "left" are in Wikipedia articles describing political parties and in news articles describing parliamentary governments. Orser67 (talk) 19:45, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. Centre-left and centre-right coalitions aren't exclusive to Italy. These exist in many countries (and states), and the current title is indeed WP:ASTONISHing. I've no opposition to a natural disambiguator (WP:NATDAB), which some sources seem to be using, nor with parenthetical disambiguator. &mdash;CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 15:03, 27 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support. The current title is very generic. When I google "centre-left coalition", in addition to results about Italian politics, I also get results about Swedishx2, Finnish, Malaysian, and German politics. For "centre-right coalition", I also get results about Belgian, Slovenian, and Australian politics. From the links given in the nomination, "Italian centre-left/right coalition" looks to be an expression that is already used reasonably commonly, so it appears to be the best alternative title to the current ambiguous one. Endwise (talk) 08:23, 28 September 2022 (UTC) Actually, I prefer Centre-left coalition (Italy) (see below). Endwise (talk) 08:41, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * "Italian centre-left coalition" is not the proper name of the coalition. It's like naming the Democratic Party (United States) article as "American Democratic Party". That's simply not their name! If we have to DAB this article, then please let's go for "Centre-left coalition (Italy)" so that its proper name is used. Yakme (talk) 08:30, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I've had a think about it and I agree with you. You will find sources that will use the phrase "American Democratic Party" for the same reasons, but naming an article like that gives off an incorrect impression that it's something of an official title when it isn't. So disambiguating it as "Centre-left coalition (Italy)" is probably better. Endwise (talk) 08:41, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * not even "Centre-right/Centre-left coalition" are proper names, let's not confuse things. Centre-right/centre-left coalition are two generic terms used to distinguish these two coalitions that have not had a proper name for years. --Scia Della Cometa (talk) 11:06, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Anyway, I would prefer "Centre-right coalition (Italy)" and "Centre-left coalition (Italy)" too.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 11:08, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * "Centre-left coalition" is the name by which that formation is known and called since ~30 years in Italy. By naming purposes, it counts as its proper name. "Italian centre-left coalition" does not do the job, it's far less used in English, and it's actually never used in Italian (coalizione di centro-sinistra italiana, never heard of). By Wikipedia standards, the correct way to DAB this is "Centre-left coalition (Italy)", I think there should be no doubt about this. By the way there are many examples of not-really-proper names which are DABbed like this: civic list (Italy) (not "Italian civic list") or Assessor (Italy) (not "Italian assessor"), or citizens' income (Italy) (not "Italian citizens' income"). Yakme (talk) 11:25, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Indeed, as I have already affirmed, I absolutely agree to use the disambiguation "Italy" in the titles of the two coalitions. However, we cannot affirm that centre-right coalition and centre-left coalition are proper names, since the Italian coalitions have no longer had an official name for a long time. IMHO, "centre-right coalition" and "centre-left coalition" should be redirects to Centre-right politics and Centre-left politics respectively.--Scia Della Cometa (talk) 11:35, 28 September 2022 (UTC)


 * Support obviously In ictu oculi (talk) 18:53, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Support - as per Necrothesp. Centre-left coalition (Italy), Centre-right coalition (Italy) is a better name than the one proposed and matches the naming scheme of other political groups like the Democratic Party (United States) Eopsid (talk) 18:55, 28 September 2022 (UTC)

 * Support per nom. Shwcz (talk) 21:07, 28 September 2022 (UTC)
