Requested move 25 August 2021

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: (non-admin closure) NO CONSENSUS User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 19:44, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are pages using both "in Solomon Islands" and "in the Solomon Islands". Any re-nomination should be a bulk proposal. The votes lean towards "in Solomon Islands", but a new discussion would be needed to move pages such as Geography of the Solomon Islands.

Human rights in Solomon Islands → Human rights in the Solomon Islands – The Solomon Islands always has a "the" in front of the name. SHB2000 (talk) 11:17, 25 August 2021 (UTC) — Relisting.

Sorry about the long comment; this is my attempt to collect the past debate scattered across a variety of pages. The most extensive discussions are:

Other discussions include:

Other moves have been undiscussed, including most of the moves that resulted in the current titles (without "the"), but the current titles are reasonably stable. My reading of past discussions is that there has not been a clear consensus overall so far. I would frame the issue as: 1. To what extent is one name or the other the WP:COMMONNAME? 2. to what extent does English in the country have a WP:ENGVAR preference for one name or the other? 3. (If both policies are applicable) how should they be weighed? Others are of course free to frame it differently.

As for my own view, I lean oppose. My assessment, at least from browsing https://www.solomontimes.com/ and https://www.solomonstarnews.com/ and from reading prior discussions, is that there is a strong preference for omitting "the" in Solomon Islands English for the name of the country (but, I must add, not an *exclusive* preference), and that it's reasonable to construe this as a matter of WP:ENGVAR. As for WP:COMMONNAME, including "the" is generally more common. On the other hand, WP:COMMONNAME makes an explicit allowance for WP:ENGVAR considerations. On balance I would keep the title without "the". Adumbrativus (talk) 08:48, 27 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support per common usage. Number 5 7 23:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support consistent with the main category, also move LGBT rights in Solomon Islands. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:28, 1 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per User:Adumbrativus above. Either way, the titles of pages related the sovereign state should all be consistent, but moving a single page isn't the place for it or best way to do it. Paintspot Infez (talk) 15:58, 2 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per Adumbrativus. Crouch, Swale's point should be addressed by moving the category (per speedy move criterion WP:C2D). Havelock Jones (talk) 11:50, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Well yes that can be done if this is closed as not moved. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:33, 21 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
