message: There is a list of "Chairmen of the Estates of Aruba" but no mention as to what the role of this chairman is. Is it the president of the legislature? This should be clarified.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gentleman wiki (talk • contribs) 09:05, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

text: We do not use the 'correct' or 'official' name, we use the common name in WP:RS. In the cases you mention, RS predominantly use Oireachtas, Knesset, &c., but as presented above, this not the case with the Parliament of Aruba. The majority of RS use 'parliament', and so too should we in accordance with the Wikipedia article titles policy. RGloucester  — ☎ 22:57, 30 April 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  I do not find convincing at all your argument that RS would majority use Parliament of Aruba. In fact, there does not see to be any obvious majority use. Place Clichy (talk) 10:50, 1 May 2021 (UTC)

text: The status quo? I made a bold move in November 2020, and no one objected to it. There is no obligation to 'formally propose' anything. The status quo is thus 'Parliament of Aruba', which has been stable. The onus is on those who think 'Estates of Aruba' is a better title in line with Wikipedia policies to demonstrate that that is the case. Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy, where we would revert to an inferior title merely because of some perceived procedural error. There is at yet no evidence presented that 'Estates of Aruba' is the common name in reliable sources, and all such evidence points in the exact opposite direction.
