The result of the move request was: Moved to Asayish (Rojava cantons) (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk) 22:42, 14 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Asayish (Syria) → Asayish (Rojava) – The armed organization is clearly under the authority of Rojava, which is not recognized by Syrian Arab Republic, so it is not a valid organization of Syria, but rather of Rojava (Federation of Northern Syria) GreyShark (dibra) 18:01, 24 October 2016 (UTC)--Relisting.

Support. Makes sense, especially since the Iraqi one can be found at Asayish (Kurdistan Regional Government). And without Rojava, the Asayish wouldn't exist there, too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ermanarich (talk • contribs) 20:47, 24 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. The problem with the term "Rojava" is ambiguity. The police forces concerned here are under the authority of the respective cantons (!) within the framework of the Federation of Northern Syria - Rojava (NSR). So if anything, a move would have to be to Asayish (NSR cantons), maybe Asayish (Rojava cantons). But I would not find the move necessary anyway, because the NSR claims to be a model for all of Syria, and Assad does not own the term "Syria", so I think Asayish (Syria) is fine. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 18:24, 25 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Just looked at it again, I would support a renaming in Asayish (Rojava cantons), but definitely not in Asayish (Rojava), because the latter strongly suggests a factually incorrect allegiance of the forces. -- 2A1ZA (talk) 20:31, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's actually true. I would support this one, too.--Ermanarich (talk) 00:51, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the move request was: not moved. (closed by non-admin page mover) – robertsky (talk) 02:44, 22 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Asayish (Rojava regions) → Internal Security Forces (Asayish) – More appropriate name and goes along with other Wikipedia articles better CatmanBw (talk) 19:28, 6 October 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. BegbertBiggs (talk) 21:03, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, I have never heard of Asayish being referred as Internal Security Forces in the past. On social media and news platforms, they are always referred to as Asayish. Ecrusized (talk) 07:36, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
