Change of article name

The article contains information about a confederation between India, Pakistan and Bangladesh among other nations. Therefore, I think it would be appropriate to change the name of the article to include Bangladesh in some form. AMomen88 (talk) 23:48, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think it would be appropriate to rename the article to "Confederation of the Indian subcontinent" as this includes nations which are explicitly mentioned in the article such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Nepal among others, while the title "Indo-Pakistani Confederation" only includes the nations of India and Pakistan.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AMomen88 (talk • contribs) 13:20, 4 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indo-Pakistani Confederation → Confederation of the Indian subcontinent – I think it would be appropriate to rename the article to “Confederation of the Indian subcontinent” as the article explicitly mentioned nations such as Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Bhutan as well as other nations in the subcontinent. The use of the term “Indo-Pakistani Confederation” only applies to India and Pakistan, thus leaving out other nations in the subcontinent. My view is that this should not be the case which is why I propose the name change. AMomen88 (talk) 22:51, 4 April 2021 (UTC)—Relisting. wbm1058 (talk) 22:09, 24 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Sources cited in the article appear to favour "Indo-Pak confederation" or similar. FOARP (talk) 08:33, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
