Taipei Representative Office in the UKTaipei Representative Office in the United Kingdom – use of the country's complete name. (not the abbreviation, mind it) Utkarsh555 15:43, 5 April 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 01:23, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support per nom. We usually try to expand abbreviations. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:39, 6 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Oppose per WP:NCA and WP:TITLEFORMAT. The article titles policy says that Abbreviations and acronyms...should be avoided unless the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject. (emphasis mine, trimmed) The MoS says that Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject. Given that the section of the MoS for abbreviations says that the full name does not need to be written out in full on first use, nor provided on first use in parentheses after the full name if written out with "UK", I would oppose moving this page. WP:CONSISTENT may also apply, to a weaker scale, with pages such as UK garage. 🐶 EpicPupper (he/him | talk) 03:13, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    Consistency would actually be more with United Kingdom, which is used far more in article titles than UK. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:57, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Article titles are almost always spelled out fully. There is no reason for this not to be. Gonnym (talk) 23:16, 14 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
