Supreme Court of the Republic of China → Supreme Court of Taiwan – Per WP:COMMONNAME, Taiwan is the main article of the topic. We include ROC history prior to 1949 in that article, and that is explained in context sufficiently in the introduction and elsewhere. For this topic, the convention has long been “Supreme Court of [COUNTRY]”, since the official name for these organs is generally “Supreme Court” only (excluding country name). That is the case for Taiwan.

Supreme Court of Taiwan or Taiwanese Supreme Court are very much common usage in reliable sources (news or academia). For the same reasons we prefer Taiwan as the main article name per common usage (and same for other countries like Supreme Court of the United States vs. United States of America), we should use it as part of this article name.

Rename per nom and per the country article. Timrollpickering (talk) 12:09, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I'm not sure the rationale of "US vs USA" is appropriate. ROC vs Taiwan is an entirely different matter, it's not a short form, they're quite literally two different names. In any event, I would have this remain at ROC in line with other formal legal/political articles.--Tærkast (Discuss) 17:16, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That is a fair point, the two situations are not exactly comparable — but the point of Taiwan being the main article still stands (i.e. instead of ROC, including politics/legal aspects). For what it’s worth, other articles in the system are High court (Taiwan) and District court (Taiwan). Butterdiplomat (talk) 17:45, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support per nom. Taiwan is the term we use for this country. -- Necrothesp (talk) 11:02, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support for consistency with the Taiwan article and for the use of a WP:COMMONNAME. Jorahm (talk) 18:40, 17 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
