Requested move 10 March 2025

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. Per WP:SNOW. Again, we use common names in English. (closed by non-admin page mover) Remsense ‥ 论 01:37, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Tibet Autonomous Region → Xizang Autonomous Region – Xizang is the official name now, see [1] Coddlebean (talk) 01:35, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Unfortunately, it bears mention at this point that this isn't User:Coddlebean's first (or fifth) totally unviable move request. I strongly suggest that they familiarize themselves with our naming conventions policy in earnest, because their requests do not indicate a good faith attempt to do so, or an understanding that RMs require other editors' time to deal with and close. It's been noticeably disruptive in the past, and it's only gotten moreso. Remsense ‥ 论 01:42, 10 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
