On 26 October 2023, it was proposed that this article be moved from Gozitan Nation to Gozo (1798–1800). The result of the discussion was moved.

Reference to Cassar as "Italian Maltese" etc

The reference to "Italian Maltese" does not really make sense. Cassar did not promote union of Malta with Italy, since:

First of all, Malta was already de jure part of Sicily until the Treaty of Paris (1814), so there was no need to promote the union.
Gozo was an independent state, with the King of Sicily as its monarch (somewhat similar to the Commonwealth realms today). Although the Neapolitan flag was the flag of Gozo, the king referred to the people as "faithful Maltese subjects" and not as Neapolitan, Sicilian or Italian.

Cassar wanted Malta to remain part of the kingdom of Sicily with the SAME flag. He did not wanted independence! And all the "Italian maltese" (living in Gozo and/or Malta) wanted the same union to Sicily from Napoleon times until the unification of Italy in 1861: only later -mainly since the beginning of the XX century- these Italian maltese -who always considered Cassar one of their first "idealists"- started to promote the union of the Maltese islands to the kingdom of Italy.--Prosimy (talk) 02:59, 15 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gozitan Nation → Gozo (1798–1800) – There are no citations using the term "Gozitan Nation". It is a made-up name and therefore unrecognisable, and fails the first point of Wikipedia:Article titles#Deciding on an article title, which is Recognisability.

Support. This question is an interesting one; I took a look at some sources (both from the article and from Google Scholar) and it seems that there aren't many sources that describe this polity by any specific name. However, I did find this source, which states that Gozo considered itself independent and there are documents which describe Gozo as "La Nazione Gozitana" (i.e., Italian for "the Gozitan Nation"). So, there certainly exists a case for "Gozitan Nation" as a name – but with so few mentions (and none I could find in English), I believe that "Gozitan Nation" fails WP:NATURAL as obscure or made-up disambiguation from the plain title "Gozo".
