Eastern Baluchi language → Eastern Balochi language – Per Ethnologue. --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 11:22, 24 June 2015 (UTC) Zack90 (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC) Zack90 (talk) 20:46, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose per WP:COMMONNAME, as per Google Ngram. The root word is more commonly spelled "Baluch" in reliable English sources. + Suggest move to "Eastern Baluchi" as per WP:CONCISE and WP:NCLANG: Varieties can be named by prepending a modifier to the name of the parent language, as at Standard German and African American Vernacular English. This is useful when there is disagreement as to whether a variety is an accent or a dialect, as at Estuary English, or a dialect or a separate language, as at Egyptian Arabic and Mandarin Chinese, or whether it constitutes a single dialect or several, as at Southern American English. Hence I think the word "language" may be removed from the title. Khestwol (talk) 21:06, 17 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Page reverted to rd. pending discussion on creating the page in the first place. Proposer is also a suspected sock of Mjbmr, who is banned on Persian WP. — kwami (talk) 17:02, 20 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: The nominator has been indef-banned as a sockpuppet, no one else has supported the proposal, and the provided rationale seems weak. —BarrelProof (talk) 08:05, 27 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
