Denar

The name of the currency is denar, and "Macedonian" doesn't come before it officially, and no other currency today is called denar. I believe that denar is where this article should belong, while a footnote be included at the top diverting to the actual dinar main page. Compare this with German Mark which redirects to Deutsche Mark, but at least Deutsche was part of the actual name. --Juicy Oranges (talk) 21:28, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Macedonian denar → Denar of North Macedonia – The official name for the currency is "denar" and a quick google search confirms that the common name is North Macedonian denar. I have noticed that other wiki pages about North Macedonia avoid adjectives and prefer the form "... of North Macedonia" in titles and my proposal is to move this page to "Denar of North Macedonia". Nevertheless, a problem that may arise is the inconsistency in the adjective that will be used to any link to the main page. For consistency it would be nice to have a clear rule and always use the common name "North Macedonian denar" although the page can be moved to Denar of North Macedonia.

Oppose. Did a quick search on Google Scholar and Macedonian denar is more common. You should put the term in quotation marks, otherwise you will not get accurate results. StephenMacky1 (talk) 22:10, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your comment. Of course I used quotes, and I look only at reliable sources like various banks, organizations, etc. I suppose you oppose about what is the common name. You don't refuse the reality that other wiki pages about North Macedonia avoid the adjective and prefer the form "of North Macedonia". This is the main question of this Move Request. It would be nice and of special value to other users if you could explain why you agree or disagree about moving this page to "Denar of North Macedonia" provided that all other pages use the same form.
