2018 Bosnian general election → 2018 Bosnian and Herzegovinian general election – The correct and official name of the country; Bosnia is only the northern part of the country. Other countries with more than one region have election articles with full names, such as 2015 Trinidad and Tobago general election or 2015 Saint Kitts and Nevis general election. If there is consensus, the change would apply to other articles on elections in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Varro (talk) 12:36, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose "Bosnian" is the common adjectival form for the country; "Bosnian and Herzegovinian" is barely used at all (see Ngram). Nominator ignores titles like 2018 Antiguan general election (no Barbuda), 2018 São Toméan legislative election (no Principe), 2015 Vincentian general election (no Grenadines) etc. I would say the Trinidadian articles probably need moving. I am not sure there is a common adjectival form for St Kitts and Nevis? Number 57 22:52, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Support. The tradition in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1945-1992, 1992 - ) is "bosanskohercegovački", "bosansko-hercegovački" (Bosnian-Herzegovinian), "bh." (BH.). Common adjectival form in international form is wrong, because it has been spread by inproper abbreviating. Sarajevo is Bosnian city, not Herzegovinan. Mostar is Herzegovinan city, not Bosnian.
