The result of the move request was:moved. Per consensus, that while district is part of the name, it doesn't make it a proper noun. Also noting that it was mentioned that Arabic has no capital/small letters.(closed by non-admin page mover)TiggerJay (talk)15:44, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

– Like in so many other countries, these districts of Yemen do not include "District" in their proper names (e.g. seeTalk:Minsk district andTalk:Aizkraukle district). In particular, the listing in the reference "Districts of Yemen" does not include the word "District" in their names. There are also inconsistencies in the capitalization and hyphenation of some of theal,as,ar, and such, which can be addressed individually afterward by someone who understands these things better; let's not get too distracted by those when discussing the district case.Dicklyon (talk)11:50, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

this is one big rm. Sadly afaik, the word district is part of the official name (Mudiriyat Abs, for example; "Mudiriyah" is the word for "district")𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵)12:51, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Abo Yemen: That's significant from my perspective. Is "Mudiriyat" sometimes lowercased when not used as part of proper names? I understand we're using a translated name, but I think we'd be incorrect to change the official name of something.Hey man im josh (talk)15:30, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Hey man im josh Well the thing is that there is no capital/small letters in Arabic but when used officially the word Mudiriyat is never omitted𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵)15:36, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I can believe that the official name is Mudiriyah Abs, and that Abs District is a translation of that. But that doesn't make it a proper name. We're supposed to rely on consistent capitalization in English-language sources, but these don't appear much, if at all, in sources, so it's hard to collect stats on that. In most other countries where "district" may be part of a translation of an official name, it's treated as descriptive, and lowercase.Dicklyon (talk)10:16, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
