The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: No consensus to move. The situation is complicated. No consensus developed. A later proposal might gather more support, but three different people chimed in and not one ended up supporting. (non-admin closure) Red Slash 01:48, 31 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Embassy of Myanmar in Washington, D.C. → Embassy of Burma in Washington, D.C. – Per Burma/Myanmar. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 05:17, 19 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Support per WP:CRITERIA (consistency in particular). --BDD (talk) 21:40, 22 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oppose I think different considerations apply to this article than to the article about the country. We are here talking about a government institution, so what the government calls it is more relevant. Most importantly, no evidence has been provided that the embassy (as opposed to the country) is more often referred to using "Burma" than "Myanmar", and my brief web searches, while less than conclusive, do not support that notion.

You may be on to something. While articles with titles containing "Myanmar" are mostly sport topics, we do have Category:Diplomatic missions of the Republic of Ireland, which contains articles such as Embassy of Ireland in Washington, D.C. --BDD (talk) 14:38, 23 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Consider me neutral. --BDD (talk) 23:30, 28 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Comment If this is moved toward Burma, shouldn't it be "'Burmese embassy' in Washington, D.C."? Seems far more natural to me. Note these books search results--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:33, 27 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
