– This is by far the more WP:COMMON NAME for the border in English sources; according the ngram viewer about 36 times more common than the current title. Bermicourt (talk) 21:15, 15 October 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Adumbrativus (talk) 23:37, 7 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Text of original closing statement
The result of the move request was: Moved. There's only one oppose, and it's based entirely on WP:CONSISTENT. CONSISTENT refers to following a common consistent naming convention among similar articles, where and when applicable. But it has been pointed out, without any disagreeing much less refuting, that a recent RFC (last year) failed to establish consensus that such a consistent naming convention exists for precisely the articles in question here. One user apparently feels that, nevertheless, there is a consistent naming convention applicable here, despite the finding of the RFC, favoring the current title, and CONSISTENT should still apply. I'm sorry, but I think the RFC result trumps the opinion of one user. If they had argued something like the scope of the RFC was larger than what matters here, I might have given it more weight. But I just don't see that, and I can't go beyond the bounds set by the arguments actually presented here. More importantly, there is simply no retort to the nom's powerful "36 times more common than the current title" argument. Even if there was a strong consistency-based argument favoring the current title, I don't see how that could outweigh such an overwhelming COMMONNAME situation.

If counts were the only factor we considered, I might do the same. However, per WP:AT we have to consider all the criteria, and as such the current title seems the better option. ╠╣uw [talk] 18:45, 8 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

France–Germany borderFranco-German border – Grammatically, Franco-German makes more sense than the current one Signed, Pichemist ( Contribs | Talk ) 12:44, 31 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
