Talk:House of Representatives (Indonesia)

Update on 2009 election
An update on the current composition of the DPD after the 2009 elections in April is highly needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.152.59.99 (talk) 02:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. The newly elected members have been sworn in or taken their seats yet. Once this is done, the article can be changed. Until then, it is correct as it stands. Davidelit (talk) 08:44, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

House of Representatives
Should we consider renaming the article to House of Representatives of Indonesia? Arsonal (talk) 03:06, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 12 years proposal but I agree, even the official website using that term --Tensa Februari (talk) 05:58, 26 January 2021 (UTC)
 * 14 years proposal but I too agree. Source: The House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia (The official DPR English website), The United States-Indonesia Society, Asian Parliamentary Assembly, Inter-Parliamentary Union, and International Foundation for Electoral System. For Indonesian page: "House of Representatives" Used at least since 1989 by DPR-RI, Cabinet Secretariat, Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Ministry of Social Affairs, and Institute Government of Home Affairs (IPDN). --EvoSwatch (talk) 04:57, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Also agree. Local English language sources such as the Jakarta Post and the English version of the Tempo weekly also use "House of Representatives". Davidelit (Talk) 06:07, 20 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Agree to rename it to House of Representatives (Indonesia). House of Representatives is the common title of parliament in WP and per WP:COMMONNAME it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used also other House of Representatives article follows the pattern of House of Representatives ([country name]). Note that I disagree to rename it to  House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia because WP:NCGAL suggest Care should be taken to avoid convoluted or artificial constructions: Something of Something of Jurisdictionname Ckfasdf (talk) 07:29, 20 July 2023 (UTC)

Better quality insignia

Merger proposal
The stub for 14th People's Representative Council doesn't make a lot of sense without the broader historical context, and doesn't provide so much information that it really makes sense to break it out at this point, imo. I think it should be merged into the New Order Era section of this page. Heliopolisfirebirdii (talk) 14:58, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Oy, goyim, this is a draft article...I'm sorry to put this as an article...Delete it please.--Jeromi Mikhael (talk) 06:07, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Support - not nearly enough Notability for the 14th People's Representative Council to be a separate article. Davidelit (Talk) 03:40, 11 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Support as it has no such exclusive notability to have a separate article.  Gerald WL  11:31, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment : We should update and expand the 14th PRC (like 116th United States Congress or 17th Lok Sabha) instead of merging. Manasbose (talk) 16:39, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Indonesia does not have any tradition or convention naming the legislative sessions using numbers; instead, term was used. Suggest moving it to People's Representative Council (1997–1999). dwadieff ✉ 18:51, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
 * add: People's Representative Council (1956–1959) already exist and seems notable enough, so this one should also be notable in its own right after extensive development. dwadieff ✉ 18:53, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Recent name changes.
@Davidelit @Ckfasdf It seems the page has been renamed and moved again, was there prior discussions that I wasn't aware of or was this done unilaterally? I personally think the case was closed. Thanks in advance. -EvoSwatch (talk) 18:09, 29 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Pinging . --Ahecht ([[User talk:Ahecht|TALK
 * Yes. It was done unilaterally. For now, I have requested to revert move on RM. Ckfasdf (talk) 21:45, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry everyone, I did a unilateral move as I thought it was uncontroversial to use the official name over the common name. Won't do it again. My apologies! Completely Random Guy (talk) 21:58, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Actually the official English name is "House of Representatives" as Evoswatch point out on the above discussion, and also the commonly used term in English. While "People's Representative Council" is literal translation of its Indonesian name. Ckfasdf (talk) 22:06, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Indeed, just like 'Ketua DPR' is officially known as 'Speaker of the House' instead of 'Chairman/Chairwoman of the People's Representative Council' which is the literal translation. EvoSwatch (talk) 22:12, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
