Tītī / Muttonbird IslandsTītī Islands – Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE, and MOS:SLASH.

Searching Google News (1, 2, 3, 4) we find:

  • 30 using just "Tītī Islands"
  • 17 using just "Muttonbird Islands"
  • 3 using just some form of the dual name
  • 1 using both the "Muttonbird Islands" and some form of the dual name
  • 3 using both the "Muttonbird Islands" and "Titi Islands"
  • 1 using "Muttonbird Islands", "Titi Islands", and some form of the dual name.
It is clear that the COMMONNAME is now "Tītī Islands", with the current dual name title being widely rejected by reliable sources. BilledMammal (talk) 04:24, 10 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Arbitrarily0 ( talk) 14:48, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
