The result of the move request was: not moved. Rough consensus to keep the current title since "Greater Hungary" can also refer to the old kingdom. (closed by non-admin page mover) Vpab15 (talk) 13:57, 29 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hungarian irredentism →  – This is by far the most common way of referring to this idea. The search "Greater Hungary" -wikipedia gives me 49,200 Google results, while "Hungarian irredentism" -wikipedia gives me just 4,520. The former gives me 1,470 results in Google Scholar , while the latter, 455 . Currently, the Wikipedia page Greater Hungary hosts a disambiguation page, and it says that the term may refer to this article or to the old Kingdom of Hungary. I am pretty sure most people wouldn't search Greater Hungary and expect to get the Kingdom of Hungary's page. Super Ψ Dro 16:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

text: *Comment/question. The article was moved from "Greater Hungary" to "Hungarian irredentism" in 2014 because "Greater Hungary" was considered a more ambiguous term seen that it can also refer to a historical Hungarian kingdom. What's your view on that? UlyssorZebra (talk) 20:38, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: That Greater Hungary mostly refers to the irredentist project. At least in English. Super Ψ Dro 15:12, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

text: People can disagree with the concept. But if its common name is "Greater Hungary", I don't think there's anything to be done about it. And there's already countless of similarly titled articles. By the way, I've done a search in Google Books, and it seems the concept is mostly referred to without quotation marks. I didn't see any instance of "so-called". Super Ψ Dro 13:51, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "Nagy Magyarország": I think the correct translation is: "big Hungary" and not "greater Hungary". Hungary had more or less the same shape, the shape of the Carpathian Basin/Arch for circa 1000 years, so not for some years like Nazi "Grossdeutschland" "big Germany" when Austria or Germany united, but for the previous centuries the historic term is Holy Roman Empire for "big Germany". When Hungary become smaller in 1920, it is not so surprising that the Hungarians called the new Hungary as "truncated Hungary" and today's Hungary as "small Hungary" and past Hungary as "big Hungary" when Hungarian talking about history to make difference. It not need to be irredentist when average Hungarians are talking about "big or small Hungary" because this is logical term and fact, that Hungary was bigger in most of its history, and now smaller. So saying "big Hungary" mostly means talking about history before 1920, historical times of 1800, historical times of 1500, historical times of 1300. Of course irredentists also use this term, but this does not mean all word usage would be irredentist. By the way I do not understand exactly what does mean "irredentism", becuase Hungarians was not irredentists before 1920, Hungary did not want any land, even the Hungarian Prime Minister, Count Istvan Tisza refused to attack Serbia in 1914, because he did not want more Slavic population which decrease the proportion of Hungarians in Austria-Hungary. But Romanians, Slovaks, Serbs were irredentists at that time, because they claimed territory from Hungary, and they claimed even more territory with full Hungarian population than the Treaty of Trianon got them. So basically the former Romanian, Slovak, Serbian irredentism caused the Hungarian revisionist politic for the next 20 years after 1920. For example A people want a land from B people, it means A people is irredentist. If A people got land from B people, and B people think this was unfair, the B people will be irredentist in this case? And if B people got former B people's land back from A people, then again A people will be irredentist? OrionNimrod (talk) 15:28, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Irredentism is simply the movement of claiming lands not already part of your country, specially if regarded as being lost or rightfully yours for X reason. Any Hungarian claiming a single centimeter from pre-1920 Trianon borders is indeed engaging in irredentism, and any of the surrounding nations claiming a single further centimeter from Hungary is also engaging in irredentism. But as you've said, not all of the use of the term Greater Hungary refers to the irredentist project, so we should add a note in this article if it is moved to specify that the term can also refer to the old kingdom.

replies: text: I see what you mean, in this case I think many today's countries have irredentists movements. OrionNimrod (talk) 16:35, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

text: This doesn't seem to be the common practice in English-language sources however. When searching Greater Hungary, I mostly see references to the irredentist project. There's a similar case in Wikipedia, Armenia. The long period during which it was bigger in history is also known as Greater Armenia in the country, while the irredentist project is United Armenia. And English-language sources seem to coincide with this, when searching "Greater Armenia", I mostly get articles about ancient or medieval Armenia . Thus, the article Greater Armenia in Wikipedia is historical while United Armenia is about irredentism. But this doesn't seem to be the case with Hungary in English sources.

text: Comment - in theory that would be better, if we are dealing with an article which discusses various manifestations of XY irredentist movement, ideology and politics, but we have article which is mostly focused on the project of Greater Hungary and its history as a main project of Hungarian irredenta, as in which cases we title articles across the project with Greater XY. Of course, the perfect situation would be to have both ways - XY irredentism and Greater XY.--౪ Santa ౪99° 18:35, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
