Al Fushqa District → Al-Fashaga District – Per Google results, it seems to be twice as common to me. "Al-Fashaga" also has 90 Google Scholar results while "Al Fushqa" has 4. I also propose dropping the "District" part as it seems not to be used by reliable sources and does not match this area's administrative status. "Al Fushqa District" has 1 Google Scholar result and "Al-Fashaga District" has 1 as well.

If this RM is successful, consider taking a look at the one at Talk:2020–2023 Ethiopian–Sudanese clashes#Requested move 21 April 2023. Super Ψ Dro 16:58, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should split the article into Al-Fashaga and Al Fushqa District as one is a disputed border region and the other is a district of Sudan that happens to include the disputed area. Wowzers122 (talk) 17:17, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I see. In any case, "Al-Fashaga" seems to be the most common name for both. Super Ψ Dro 17:37, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I withdrew the proposal to remove "District" from the name per Wowzers122's comments. Super Ψ Dro 20:53, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - per nom. "Al-Fashaga" appears to be more common. Estar8806 (talk) 02:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment to closer - I recently performed the requested move to Al Fushqa conflict. In my closing statement, I stated that page should be moved for consistency with this one depending on the result here, so I will restate my support for that. Estar8806 (talk) 02:16, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I incite the closer of this RM to perform the move in that article for consistency if this RM passes. If they're not confortable doing that, they can feel free to ping me. Super Ψ Dro 13:41, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support - "Al-Fashaga" was the most common term I saw reading about the region
