Propopsed name change edit
To Council of Advisors of Pakistan. That is its native name, not "Parliament of Pakistan". The Knesset is "Knesset" and not "Parliament of Israel", the Oireachtas is not "Parliament of Ireland", and this pattern should be followed.--RM (Be my friend) 17:03, 17 May 2011 (UTC)
Move? edit
- 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: 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)
- 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)

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)
- 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)
- 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)
