Abu Musa → Abu Musa (island) – To reduce confusion and provide a more specific article title. Fahambnd (talk) 14:10, 21 June 2019 (UTC)--Relisting. DannyS712 (talk) 20:40, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- To reduce confusion with what? —BarrelProof (talk) 05:24, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- Support see Abu Musa al-Ashari, and move Abu Musa (disambiguation) to baseline. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:12, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose: Why not just Abu Musa Island? --HistoryofIran (talk) 12:09, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- 'Abu Musa' by itself covers many topics: names, places, events etc. Following what how articles are normally titled (specification in brackets eg. Gummo (song)), I believe the new title would fit best along other articles of similar title and topic. Fahambnd (talk) 13:43, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- That's not a good comparison. Instead it compare with other Island articles, such as Rhode Island, Easter Island, Alcatraz Island etc. None of them have brackets. --HistoryofIran (talk) 20:35, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

- Support. Abu Musa is a very common name. --Gonnym (talk) 17:32, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose Per WP:COMMON. "Abu Musa island would be correct, no brackets are needed.---Wikaviani (talk) (contribs) 20:58, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - looks like the main topic with that name to me.--Ortizesp (talk) 00:18, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose - I prefer "Abu Musa Island", no need for brackets. —UA3 (talk) 09:59, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Should I create another move request to 'Abu Musa Island' as that seems to be the most popular of the consensus? Fahambnd (talk) 16:25, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
- Relisting note I have speedy closed the move request to "Abu Musa Island" below, as that should be considered as part of this RM. I am relisting this so that it too can be considered. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 20:40, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
- Oppose. In common parlance, Abu Musa by itself seems to go as PRIMARY to the island, which needs no further qualifier as in Tahiti or Rhodes. The religious figure might be expected to be found at Abu Musa al-Ashari, the most CONCISE search term. Conversely, someone looking for Saint Paul, Minnesota would know they have to go a step further than Saint Paul, the PRIMARY to the religious figure. Havradim (talk) 00:16, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

There is no need for Arabic pronunciation in the article
[edit]This island belongs to Iran and only its Persian pronunciation should be mentioned in the article. Not the pronunciation of another country. مصطفی کوهستانی (talk) 02:22, 29 September 2021 (UTC)
- Given that the island was formerly administered by the Emirate of Sharjah and that it remains a disputed territory, including the Arabic pronunciation in this article is justified. 216.181.221.63 (talk) 22:28, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Absolute ownership of the island
[edit]The island is owned by Iran, according to a satellite photo. There is no connection with the UAE Irandamavand (talk) 17:26, 16 December 2021 (UTC)
- Given that the UAE still claims to the island, and that the island was formerly administered by the Emirate of Sharjah prior to the Iranian invasion, there absolutely is a connection to the UAE. 216.181.221.63 (talk) 22:31, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
- این جزیره از سالیان گذشته متعلق به ایران بوده است و در اسناد بینالمللی و تاریخ همواره به کشور ایران تعلق داشته است Behzad100 (talk) 11:48, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
