Nationality law of North Macedonia → North Macedonian nationality law – Literally every other such page seems to use the title format "DEMONYM nationality law", and the page was moved without discussion from the title I'm proposing. The redirect prevents this from being simply undone. See also North Macedonian passport. Onlk (talk) 23:30, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: We typically use "Macedonian" as the demonym for this country. Is there any risk of confusion with other Macedonias here? O.N.R. ^(talk) 07:07, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Nationality law of North Macedonia → North Macedonian nationality law – All in line with WP:CONSISTENT, the page should be moved as it is the only page in Category:Nationality_law that does not follow the "Country-Adjective nationality law" format. After the name change in 2019, the Wikipedia community did the 2019-RFC and based on a long list of reliable sources approved on a wider scale, it decided to use the adjective "North Macedonian" for State-associated and other public entities. I quote the decision here:

State-associated and other public entities: What term should be used when referring to state-associated entities, including governmental organisations and official ranks, as well as other public entities from North Macedonia as specified in Prespa agreement?
Option B: Both "North Macedonian" and "... of North Macedonia", where a similar form would be used for other countries. e.g. the North Macedonian Government or the Government of North Macedonia.

The closing panel agrees that there is consensus for Option B. Furthermore, noting the fact that public entities are being retitled per Prespa agreement, newer sources find "North Macedonia"-related terminology more common, and we have the existing policies of WP:NAMECHANGES and WP:COMMONNAME.

Therefore, according to the Consensus established in the RFC (and until there is a new RFC on a wider scale), the correct title for this page is "North Macedonian nationality law" because this is the format used for other countries as explicitly written in the conclusion of the RFC.

The comment of the closing panel at the top of the 2019-RFC tells us:

There is new consensus in this RfC that we have to accept as a community

The page was moved to the current name on 23 February 2019 (immediately after the country was renamed to North Macedonia) but before the final decision of the 2019-RFC that was made on 11 April 2019. Therefore, the decision of the Wikipedia Community of the 2019-RFC was mistakenly not applied to this page. Open Free Eye (talk) 19:21, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support per WP:CONSISTENT. I do not see why we should make an exception here. StephenMacky1 (talk) 20:15, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
