– As per WP:CONSISTENCY, this should be brought in line with other articles covering dictatorships and using the format "[regime name] of [name] [surname]", such as: Dictablanda of Dámaso Berenguer, Dictatorship of Juan Vicente Gómez, Dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, Dictatorship of Cipriano Castro, Dictatorship of José Antonio Páez or Dictatorship of Giuseppe Garibaldi. As per WP:PRECISE, "Primo de Rivera" alone may not be so easily recognizable for people unfamiliar with the political period, and particularly for people outside Spain (example): firstly, because Miguel was not the only politically relevant "Primo de Rivera" (his eldest son, José Antonio Primo de Rivera, was the founder of Falange Española and Falange Española de las JONS, which would provide the political platforms for the dictatorship of Francisco Franco); then, because it currently could look to them as if this was an article covering a dictatorship by some guy going by the name of "Primo" and the surname "de Rivera".

The move of the main article would also mean the move of its spinoffs. Impru20talk 12:04, 16 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
