– The proposed name Hospitaller Malta (currently a redirect) would make more sense as a common name than the current title of History of Malta under the Order of Saint John which is rather long. The term "Hospitaller Malta" is used in books, eg. Hospitaller Malta 1530–1798, Hospitaller Malta and the Mediterranean Economy in the Sixteenth Century and it is also used in academic contexts, eg. this course title at the University of Malta.
 * History of Malta under the Order of Saint John → Hospitaller Malta
 * History of Rhodes under the Order of Saint John → Hospitaller Rhodes

The same would apply to History of Rhodes under the Order of Saint John which can be moved to Hospitaller Rhodes, a term which is also used in literature eg. The Countryside Of Hospitaller Rhodes 1306–1423. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 18:40, 1 August 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 02:34, 10 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The only objection I can think of is that the proposed simpler titles will encourage widespread use of the exact phrases "Hospitaller Malta/Rhodes" even where not appropriate, whereas the current titles are more clearly descriptive. But that is a weak objection. Srnec (talk) 15:59, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. Appears to be a well used common name for the subjects, as well as simpler and more recognizable than the current form.--Cúchullain t/ c 17:36, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Support. The term "Hospitaller Malta" is indeed frequently used in books. 'History of Malta under the Order of Saint John' should be a sub-section of an article bearing the name of the said historical polity as per common Wikipedia practice. Cf. e.g. Venetian Cyprus. --Omnipaedista (talk) 11:36, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
