System of Integrated Environmental and Economic Accounting → System of Environmental-Economic Accounts – The custodian of the System of Environmental-Economic Accounts (SEEA), as is the case for the related System of National Accounts, is the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD). The title of this article was used in previous publications by UNSD, particularly the Operational Manual of 2000 and the Handbook of 2003. The more current title used is the more concise: System of Environmental-Economic Accounts. This will be the title used for the revised System, to be completed in 2012 and 2013. Increasingly, this title is what is recognized internationally as the official title of this system. As reference, please see the home page of the Environmental Accounting Section of the UN Statistics Division here: http://unstats.un.org/unsd/envaccounting/default.asp  DanielWClarke (talk) 21:56, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Oppose. I am not yet convinced that the proposed title is more widely used than the existing title. Informal Googlebook searching revels the contrary. I would like to see some hard Googlebook evidence; I might provide some if no one else wants to. There are also questions of capitalisation to address (since even in publications at the location linked there are generic uses of the term, and indeed uses of "and" rather than a hyphen). There is also the question of an en dash instead of a hyphen, as a matter of Wikipedia-imposed styling (see WP:DASH), in the way all publishers are free to impose their house style. That is not something necessarily fixed by an "official title". I'll watch what other arguments and evidence turn up here with interest. N oetica Tea? 12:24, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
