The result of the move request was: No consensus for move, oppose uncountered. (non-admin closure) — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 04:54, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Emsland → Emsland (district)
Emsland (region) → Emsland

– The geographical and historical region Emsland, though currently covered only by a mere stub in the English Wikipedia, clearly constitutes WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, particularly as the eponymous administrative district is usually referred to as "Landkreis Emsland" in German and as "District of Emsland" or "Emsland district" in English. The request may be closed pending further discussion on a new, consistent naming scheme. -- PanchoS (talk) 12:17, 25 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - the district is what is usually understood by the name these days. And it gets more page views than the region: [1] — Amakuru (talk) 14:28, 2 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
