Requested move 16 February 2023

The following is a closed 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 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: Moved to lowercase Ministry of religious affairs (along with the other three). While there are (disputed) arguments that this is a proper name, and that this is actually a dab page in disguise (not disputed), a majority of posters agree that the article is about the general concept. Plus, there's the precedent at Talk:Ministry_of_Defence#Requested_move_5_February_2021. No such user (talk) 11:22, 24 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Oppose Proper name. – robertsky (talk) 21:15, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Also, @Primergrey, I think it is rather bad form to split each ministry into separate RMs and force commentators to discover what other pages are being proposed to move, and repeat the same arguments elsewhere, forcing discussion to be fragmented and scattered across multiple pages. It is even poorer form not to even link to the other RMs here. The RMs should have been consolidated into one multiple-move request. If possible, I'd like to request that all the individual RMs be closed and for @Primergrey reformulate his RM request as a multi-page move. Walrasiad (talk) 06:12, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
I also found open RMs at Ministry of Justice, Finance and Foreign Affairs. Are there others? Certes (talk) 11:33, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
No, but there are plenty of other undiscussed moves to revert if you look through Primergrey's contribution history. 2 of the separate RMs are as a result of UltraSRG not processing the contested technical requests as multipage request. – robertsky (talk) 11:43, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
This one seems to be the first of the four that was requested. Thus, I suggest to focus the discussion here and encourage the others to wait for this one to close. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 14:11, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Note: a precedence can be found at Talk:Ministry_of_Defence#Requested_move_5_February_2021, where the description of a ministry's portfolio is split from the list of the ministries, with the portfolio occupying the lowercase title version (Ministry of defence) and the dab/set index list occupies the uppercase title version (Ministry of Defence). While WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS exists, the outcome of the past RM can be applied to here as well given that they are about the same thing, the treatment of the dab/set index of government related ministries, and for consistency in the article titles across similar subjects. In absence of any portfolio description of the ministry, we should not move the set index to the lowercase version. – robertsky (talk) 14:56, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
Support it's not referring to a specific ministry of any country, hence its not a proper noun. Estar8806 (talk) 16:56, 18 February 2023 (UTC)Reply
