Requested move 21 December 2024

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved to Al-Qadir Trust case. There is a rough consensus that "190 million pound case" is not (yet) the COMMONNAME for this case. However, a consensus emerged that the word "reference" is unnecessary and should be removed. (closed by non-admin page mover) Toadspike [Talk] 16:53, 11 January 2025 (UTC)

Al-Qadir Trust reference case → 190 million pound case – WP:COMMONNAME for this case is "190 million pound case", overwhelming majority of sources use this term compared to the current title. Google Trends also shows higher usage for the proposed title, current title does non even register. If we search Google News and sort them by date, current title does not show up in a single news report while proposed title was featured in a news report published few hours ago. Proposed title might not seem very attractive to some folks but we do not go by the attractiveness of the title on Wikipedia but by what reliable sources prefer to use.

• Question: What does "reference" mean? The article doesn't seem to explain it. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 06:52, 22 December 2024 (UTC)

  @BarrelProof The term “reference” means a request for inquiry. In certain legal cases in Pakistan, the process begins with the Prime Minister initiating a reference, which is then forwarded to the President. The President reviews and approves the reference before sending it to the court to initiate proceedings. This procedure is typically followed when the request for an inquiry involves a judge accused of misconduct. However, I am uncertain why it is being applied in this particular case.

• Al-Qadir Trust case is the most common name used by major publications to refer to this case. This is a case of recentism where some publications are now referring it as "190 million pounds case". I think we should deal with it like we did with Dunkin' Donuts or Twitter's renaming. There are many hits for the "Al-Qadir Trust case" (DAWN, Express Tribune, The News International), but very few for the "190 million pounds case" (DAWN, The Express Tribune, The News International). Based on my findings, I suggest moving the page to Al-Qadir Trust and removing the word "reference" as it is unnecessary. I oppose move to 190 million pounds case.

  @Veldsenk This is last 12 months comparison, the term "Al-Qadir Trust case" is nowhere to be seen compared to "190 million pound case". Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 12:27, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

  Thanks for sharing this. I think there is a trend towards "190 million pounds case" but we should keep in mind that we rely on secondary sources on Wikipedia, so Google Trends (which are based on Google Search) may not be the best way to judge this. There is little academic work on this topic so Google Ngram may not be useful. I may support this if major publications use "190 million pound case" in January 2025 when the decision will be announced. For now, we should wait for a few weeks. Thanks.

• Comment: The correct grammar is "190-million-pound case". Regardless, I think this fails WP:PRECISE. C F A 16:22, 24 December 2024 (UTC)

  @CFA Does WP:PRECISE take priority over WP:COMMONNAME? Additionally, what should be done if more sources refer to it as “190 million pound case” rather than “190-million-pound case”? Can the way sources phrase it determine the appropriate grammar for a title? Sheriff | ☎ 911 | 15:03, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

• Al-Qadir Trust case; otherwise oppose. A quick ProQuest search (through the Wikipedia Library) gets me 981 results for "Al-Qadir Trust case" and only 67+82 results for "190 million pound[s] case", so I don't think the COMMONNAME argument really holds (Google Trends isn't a good way of assessing what's common in sources). It's possible there's a shift, but it's too soon to say, and even sources from the last few months seem to be evenly split. "Reference" doesn't really need to be in the title, though: "case" outnumbers "reference" by a wide margin, and "reference case" doesn't seem to be used in sources at all.
