Northern Mariana Islands's at-large congressional district → Northern Mariana Islands' at-large congressional district – This was moved in 2019 (and back and forth more recently), presumably because "Mariana Islands" is a singular political entity and therefore ignoring the rule for possessives of plurals. But we don't do this for sports teams and other singular entities with plural names, do we? I've not seen it. Go back to the s-apostrophe construct? Dicklyon (talk) 20:54, 1 December 2024 (UTC)
- Weak support: I think the noun is nominally plural and therefore the proposal is aligned with MOS:PLURALNOUN. — BarrelProof (talk) 06:25, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
