Requested move 18 September 2023

[edit]
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: no consensus. All but one response rejected the addition of "colonial", one supported making "empire" lowercase. I could see a case for opening another discussion about the lowercase proposition, but it looks like "colonial" is out for now.

Italian EmpireItalian colonial empire – This is a fundamentally colonial topic, as the infobox and categories show. "Italian Empire" was never an officially used title, the "home country" was the Kingdom of Italy. The name "Italian Empire" capital E suggests a much larger formal state control over colonial possessions than was factually the case. I also see in English-language literature that "Italian empire" is often written with a lowercase e. It's worth emphasizing that a colonial empire represents a distinct category of empire, and for the sake of precision, the title should reflect that. While it's true that the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy did not govern any empire apart from colonial empires, this should not preclude the inclusion of the term 'colonial' in the title. It is a fact that 'British Empire' is a well-established exception. Kpratter (talk) 11:52, 18 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Edward-Woodrowtalk 23:56, 25 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. Just because the e in "empire" is capitalized does not imply anything. As the nominator provided "British Empire" is a well-established example (exception or not), as are Spanish Empire and Portuguese Empire. Also, "Italian Empire" is far-more prevalent in scholar results than "Italian colonial empire". [1][2]--estar8806 (talk) 20:21, 18 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I requested the Portuguese Empire to be moved as well. The Spanish Empire is a bit more complex because it included not only overseas possessions but also other territories. Kpratter (talk) 09:56, 20 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
