List of popes by nationalityList of popes by country – This list is organised by country (and similar entities prior to the modern concept of country), e.g. "Italy" and "France" rather than by nationality (e.g. Italian, French) and so the new title would better reflect the content. List of popes by country was created as a duplicate article (which this was a redirect to List of popes), but I have redirected it here after finding nothing to merge. Its edit history should be preserved if this article is moved to that title. Thryduulf (talk) 13:27, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support. Nations and nationalities have only been around for a couple hundred years but this list goes back much further. —  AjaxSmack  13:57, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom and AjaxSmack. ---- Patar knight - chat/contributions 16:01, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per nom. The terms for nationality, country, country of origin, region, should redirect to this article. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 16:39, 16 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
