Should there be a standard format and should the other articles be renamed? Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 11:42, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Curb Safe Charmer I believe we should have a standard format for it as suggested. How about we have (Name of Ministry), (Country) example Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria or Nigerian Ministry of Finance. Either of them seems good to me. Edidiong (talk) 08:34, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I prefer disambiguating with Nigeria in parentheses or comma since it isn't official, then we make the others a redirect. HandsomeBoy (talk) 06:39, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. Specifically, the version with parentheses seems most appropriate. That way, it's not in doubt that the word "Nigeria" is not originally part of the name, but merely introduced for the purpose of disambiguation. – BroVic (talk) 08:32, 30 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
