- Oppose for lack of evidence – per WP:NAMECHANGES, there should be evidence that independent, reliable, English-language sources are now using the new name. As explained at WP:OFFICIALNAMES, we use the common name used in English on Wikipedia, not the official name (although these are often the same). The policy doesn't seem to say explicitly what should happen if there aren't a lot of English-language sources written after the change; I would assume that WP:USENATIVE applies and if usage has clearly changed in reliable independent sources in the native language that could be carried over. I'm open to changing this vote if suitable sources are provided. Robminchin (talk) 00:02, 25 February 2025 (UTC)
