The Elimination Initiative of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV and of Congenital Syphilis in Latin America and the CaribbeanRegional Initiative for the Elimination of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV and Congenital Syphilis in Latin America and the Caribbean — This is the correct name of the campaign. We tried to create the article at an earlier time and for some reason the title got blacklisted. Shayer 04:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Thats fair, but I didn't see anything that would give me an impression that anyone was in support of the requested move. Just trying to help. WP:RM has a massive backlog going back for weeks. Hopefully some admins will use their tools to clear some of it up soon, so users like myself won't feel the need to pick up some of the slack. Thanks--Jojhutton (talk) 17:37, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think anybody supports the requested move, either (although I did voice support of that title over the current one, which should be uncontroversial), but I think there is a consensus in favor of Elimination Initiative and if there is one, we don't need to start a new discussion just to make it official. (Although experience would indicate this will probably just get relisted anyway, despite my feeling that's unnecessary and unhelpful.) I know there's a backlog and sometimes I work on it, too, but the guidelines seem to me fairly clear about what non-admins can do. Propaniac (talk) 17:44, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that there is support to move the title to Elimination Initiative, but that is not why I closed the discussion. The requested move was for another name (to long for me to rewrite), and it was that request that recieved no support. If I had closed the discussion in favor of Elimination Initiative, then that, I believe would have gone beyond the scope of non-admin closures. The closure was solely based on the lack of support of the requested title, and nothing more.
As a side note, I reworded part of your comment above, as you orignially referd to me as an admin. I just added the word "non" in front, as I believe that is what you really meant.--Jojhutton (talk) 17:59, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you're right about the latter; thanks for fixing my typo. But as I said earlier, it is perfectly legitimate for a move discussion to come to a consensus in favor of a title that was not the one originally proposed. It happens all the time, and does not require that a new discussion be started to "officially" support the other title. Propaniac (talk) 19:30, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Then by all means, go right ahead and change it to the new title. I personally won't oppose it, but for the record, I'm not taking sides. The worst that will happen is that someone may oppose the new name, and change it back. That at least will get the ball rolling, although I think that there is enough support for a page move to Elimination Inititative.--Jojhutton (talk) 21:07, 3 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
These were discussed above, in case you missed it. Propaniac (talk) 16:47, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
