@Fyrael I propose merging Republic of Syria into Syrian Republic. Maedc (talk) 15:33, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - makes sense, they're practically the same title, no reason to have two. ASUKITE 17:02, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - Seems fine to me. I reverted your change on the other page because I didn't know there were two set indexes and the edit summary didn't give enough information for me to know what you were trying for. -- Fyrael (talk) 18:18, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirected given that there is no unique content to merge. Klbrain (talk) 11:05, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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: not moved. No prospect of consensus to move. Andrewa (talk) 09:33, 23 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Syrian Republic → Syrian Republics – "French Republic" still redirects to "France" rather than "French Republics," as is the case with some other countries. I believe that Syrian Republic should redirect to Syria, as should Republic of Syria. Syrian Arab Republic has already been redirected to "Syria" by User:AltendoYT.

"(disambiguation)" would be incorrect because this is a set index article. Syrian Republics would work, though; cf. French Republics. (This is not a !vote to move, though. I haven't thought it through yet. FWIW I'll note that Polish Republic, while the official name of Poland, is a DAB, so there are examples in both directions.) -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 09:01, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I would support the move to Syrian Republics as well (updated the proposal). My primary wish is to redirect Syrian Republic and Republic of Syria to Syria. Cuvaj (talk) 09:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, this is a disambiguation page, not List of Syrian Republics.

Beshogur (talk) 15:33, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

this is not a disambiguation page, but a set index article. Cuvaj (talk) 15:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. WP:PLURAL. Theparties (talk) 15:37, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose It makes more sense as is. Yesyesmrcool (talk) 16:43, 22 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Syrian Republic → Syrian Republics – I understand that this has already been discussed, but I would like to reopen the question regarding the article's title. The previous discussion did not address the issue of the primary topic of the term "Syrian Republic". The primary topic of the term is clearly Syria, officially the Syrian Arab Republic, a country in West Asia. Therefore, "Syrian Republic" should redirect to that article.

Set index articles listing all republican states with names of the form "country adjectival Republic" are typically titled in the plural. Examples include:

Support Syria is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the current title. Arnav Bhate (talk • contribs) 12:51, 24 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
