Requested move 5 January 2023[edit]

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.

Agree to renaming, moving, and disposition of article(s) as described below by Srnec, per wp:COMMONNAME. An interested editor should proceed with the changes. Pinging @Suratrat: also. Non-Administrative closure-- GenQuest ^"scribble" 18:12, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

– The transliteration al-Shihr is more common than ash-Shihr. The district article also needs a hyphen. I am unsure if "District" should remain upper case, so have left it. The battle articles should also have lower-case al-. Note: the 1531 article is up for merging and the dab page may become unnecesssary. Srnec (talk) 01:31, 5 January 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

Redirect per nom. The use of "al-" instead of "ash-" is not respecting proper Arabic grammar but we should respect WP:COMMONNAME. -Suratrat (talk) 05:01, 8 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
