The result of the move request was: Moved. and will henceforth redirect to South Pacific Mandate. &mdash; Amakuru (talk) 19:35, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Nan'yō → Nan'yō, Yamagata – "Nan'yō" (or "Nanyo", which currently redirects here) most often refers to the South Pacific Mandate. The South Pacific Mandate/Nan'yō played an important role in the Second World War and had a greater population than the current town at this title. Most Japanese cities are at "City, Prefecture" names already, so the proposed title should not seem particularly unwieldy. According to |Nan%27yō page view data, South Pacific Mandate sees much more traffic than this article (118/day vs. 3.5/day). While it is not clear how many people type "Nanyo" in an attempt to arrive at South Pacific Mandate, "Nanyo" and "Nan'yō" are used for the mandate in many English-language texts, such as Nanyo: The Rise and Fall of the Japanese in Micronesia, 1885-1945. Most of the first several pages of hits for "Nan'yō" and "Nanyo" in Google Books refer to the South Pacific Mandate. Dekimasu よ! 02:33, 26 May 2018 (UTC)
