The result of the move request was: Not moved. While the proposer makes a great point, we need some way to prove the common name of the parliament is indeed Majlis-e-Shoora.(non-admin closure) Red Slash 02:06, 9 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Parliament of Pakistan → Majlis-e-Shoora – As per standard and conventions. Majlis-e-Shoora is the official name as per the government of Pakistan. Please see examples like Knesset and Oireachtas. Faizan 03:55, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• The names Knesset and Oireachtas are well known. But how many outside Pakistan and India know the name "Majlis-e-Shoora"? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:23, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Any demonstration that the proposed name is more commonly used in English than the current title?--Labattblueboy (talk) 03:27, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose "Knesset" is very well known in English. I couldn't've told you what Oireachtas was offhand, but I suspect it's very common in British and Irish English. "Majlis-e-Shoora" isn't very recognizable to English speakers, and remember that we don't necessarily use official names as titles. --BDD (talk) 17:15, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Parliament of Pakistan → Majlis-e-Shoora – According to constitution of Pakistan, Majlis-e-Shoora is the parliament of Pakistan consisting of the President and two Houses. Move per WP:NCGAL. This name is official and commonly used. Check sources 1 2 3 4 5 See more sources in news, books.--119.160.103.55 (talk) 18:37, 8 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Parliament of Pakistan is more common according to [1]. It is also much more common in Google News results. I also note that many of the hits in your Google Books search gloss the proposed title as "Majlis-e-Shoor (Parliament)", indicating that the sources also believe the proposed title is not readily understood in English.

• It's like sports car and Ferrari. Obviously the word parliament is used but Majlis-e-Shoora is used more often and in many interviews it is refereed as Majlis-e-Shoora so I think it's a valid reason to move it. A redirect from Parliament of Pakistan will definitely exist. So I thinkit's totally okay to move it to official name.--119.160.98.16 (talk) 15:37, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• The link I provided shows that "Parliament of Pakistan" is used more often. Google News and Google Books searches show that "Pakistani Parliament" is also more common than the proposed title. I am not arguing that the word "parliament" is more common, but that the complete string "Parliament of Pakistan" is more common than the string "Majlis-e-Shoora". If you have evidence that shows otherwise, please present it. Dekimasuよ! 17:08, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
