Gaziantep → Antep – While 'Gaziantep' is more common, the other Turkish provinces with a honorific, Şanlıurfa and Kahramanmaraş are listed under their plain names Urfa and Marash. For consistency, Gaziantep should be moved to Antep too. – anlztrk (talk) 08:32, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The reason why Urfa and Marash are titled as such was because "Urfa" and "Marash" were more common than "Şanlıurfa" and "Kahramanmaraş", respectively. Gaziantep is more common and likewise has been in use for around 100 years, while Kahramanmaraş and Şanlıurfa are names roughly 50 and 40 years in age. I believe that your reason is valid, though. Ayıntaplı (talk) 19:16, 14 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Generally known as Gaziantep in reliable English-language sources. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose While 'Gaziantep' is more common that means it should be the title. Super Ψ Dro 22:33, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose Kahramanmaraş was moved to a 19th Century name Marash under circumstances that led to Move Review and is being restored now. In ictu oculi (talk) 18:00, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
