Requested move 10 June 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: not moved. Though the proposed title was claimed to be the WP:COMMONNAME, no evidence was provided to bolster this claim. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 16:00, 30 June 2022 (UTC)

Ministry of Irrigation and Water Resources Management → Ministry of Irrigation (Sri Lanka) – New name of the ministry as per Extraordinary Gazette 2281/41 of 27 May 2022 2001:BB8:2001:2:0:0:0:75 (talk) 16:30, 10 June 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Spekkios (talk) 01:31, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose for now. Our naming conventions prefer the common name to the official name, but insufficient evidence of even the official name is supplied here. The link seems to be broken, but when I tried to fix it by replacing the "%20" with an underscore, there is nothing at the target about a name change. There are references to a "Minister of Irrigation" but there is nothing that indicates that is particularly the official name of the office or of the ministry. Dekimasu よ! 03:52, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Move - As per the official website of the ministry and the cabinet office, the correct and updated name is Ministry of Irrigation. 2001:708:0:19:0:0:0:1062 (talk) 11:32, 11 June 2022 (UTC)
 * I am guessing that you are the editor who made the request, in which case your support is assumed (WP:RM). Dekimasu よ! 04:47, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Support - As per web usage, WP:COMMONNAME is Ministry of Irrigation. 130.226.161.50 (talk) 03:27, 13 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Oppose. No evidence presented that is relevant in terms of WP:AT. Premature at best, if the name change was not gazetted until 27 May... less than a month ago. Andrewa (talk) 23:07, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * On balance, this is not an unreasonable request, but it should have to stand on its merits. We have 1) a nomination from an IP only showing interest in Sri Lankan ministries and Finnish airports; 2) support from another IP nearby the first (and far from Sri Lanka) only showing interest in Sri Lankan ministries; and 3) support from a third IP (far from Sri Lanka) only showing interest in Sri Lanka and Finnish airports. While assuming good faith, this appears highly improbable. Dekimasu よ! 06:03, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
