China National Space Administration → CNSA – Suggesting this move per Ngram (also WP:COMMONNAME). — AKSHADĒV™ ^talk 11:23, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose already a primary redirect, no benefit from acronymizing In ictu oculi (talk) 15:56, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:ACRONYMTITLE. Abbreviations are not names, and should be used as article titles only in rare cases where the topic is known almost exclusively by its acronym. Station1 (talk) 05:31, 18 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment ISRO (the India equivalent) was moved to the acronymtitle recently, is this move related? -- 67.70.25.80 (talk) 02:19, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Kind of inspired I would say, but according to MOS:ACROTITLE, it doesn't make any sense to move an article if the topic is not known exclusively by its acronym. I completely agree with Station1. — AKSHADĒV™ ^talk 06:48, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you agree why is the nomination still open? Randy Kryn (talk) 11:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because I don't have the authority to close it, simple as that. — AKSHADĒV™ ^talk 12:39, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, maybe if this were Chinese Wikipedia but in the English version the full name is the most recognizable. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:41, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

China National Space Administration → CNSA – Per Ngram, WP:UCRN and to match NASA, ISRO, JAXA and CNES. – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 15:47, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Britannica. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:32, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Crouch, Swale Illogical reason. Britannica also calls NASA by its full name See this. That means according to you, we should also change NASA to National Aeronautics and Space Administration,! – 𝙰𝚔𝚜𝚑𝚊𝚍𝚎𝚟™ ^🗿 03:24, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Akshadev: The full title is still used in the article title. Crouch, Swale (talk) 12:00, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, the full and official name is more understandable in English, and per the result of the 2023 RM above. Note that the n-grams even out when the word 'the' is added, and that 'CNSA' was picking up many mentions well before 1993, when the Agency was formed, indicating that the n-grams are mixing other uses into the count for the agencies initials. Randy Kryn (talk) 11:59, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose per WP:RECOGNIZABILITY. - Amigao (talk) 23:45, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Abbreviations have to be very well known to become article titles and this one isn't in the English-speaking world. -- Necrothesp (talk) 15:47, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
