The result of the move request was: Consensus to move to the original nomination's new name, therefore, moved. There is one vote for keeping the current page name, but this is already covered (but could be expanded) in United States House of Representatives Republican Conference. The other votes are for moving the page, with one vote preferring the upper case "chairman". Because of MOS:JOBTITLES the lowercase version is preferred in this case.

Chairman of the House Republican Conference → List of chairmen of the House Republican Conference – If the “article” is indeed a list, its title should reflect that. 205.174.115.253 (talk) 18:36, 19 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisted. –Ammarpad (talk) 07:11, 27 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

 * Keep - and expand so it is more than just a list. Some explanation of what the conference chairman does, how he or she is chosen, etc. would be beneficial. Blueboar (talk) 17:24, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * This isn't a deletion discussion, so "keep" seems like a confusing response. Is this an expression of opposition to the renaming? —BarrelProof (talk) 15:30, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Support as for Blueboars recommendation that is already done here so this page is just a list and should be moved עם ישראל חי (talk) 15:33, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Oppose lower-case "chairmen", would support if upper-cased (per recent discussions at Vice Presidents pages, and per this page, as 'Chairman' is a proper-case title in this context). Randy Kryn (talk) 20:39, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Support lowercase "chairmen". That is not a proper noun when used in the plural. MOS:JOBTITLES is clear about that (see also Living presidents of the United States, List of presidents of the United States by age, List of prime ministers of Elizabeth II). —BarrelProof (talk) 15:30, 5 December 2018 (UTC)

Chair v. Chairman
The House GOP website (which has not been updated for the new Congress) describes Rodgers' position as "Chair" of the conference, not "Chairman." House GOP Twitter also uses "Chair", though this may be due to character constraints. The House history website continues to use "Chairman" on its history page, but NPR refers to Liz Cheney as the conference's new "Chairwoman". Since the last two chairs have been women, and the GOP website and Twitter seem to endorse the gender-neutral "Chair", it seems like a change to "Chair" or "chair" rather than "chairman" might be appropriate.
