The correct name is Ceire Cion. See Latvian wikipedia wwor detail. Someonje uneducated saw in cited sources "Zionist party" and decidsed it is the name of the party, while in fact it was its description.

Oppose No evidence has been presented that this is the common name for the party in English (Latvian Wikipedia is certainly not an appropriate source). Contrary to the attack/claim made by the requestor, the sources do not use this as a descriptive title, but as the name of the party; "Zionist Party" is given as the English version of the party's name in the Nohlen book, while the JTA and the Columbia uni sources both refer to as the "Zionist Socialist Party".

It does not matter how confused English sources name the party: צעירי ציון or "Zion Youth" is not translated as "Zionist Party" and you do not rename names of organizations based on a whim.

(a) The article has always been at the title "Zionist Party" since its creation in 2014 – there was no renaming "on a whim", (b) the Nohlen book does give the translation as such, and I would hope you are aware that party names are not always translated exactly word for word; for example, the literal translation of the
Danish Social Liberal Party's Danish name is "The Radical Left", but that's not how they are known in English. Perhaps you could tone down the accusations. As for your evidence that your proposed name is correct, the sources you've put forward use "Zeire Zion" not "Ceire Cion" which is the requested target...

(a) That the article was under wrong name means nobody gave a shit. And I was not referring to you, but to dubious sources, sorry for unclear wording. (b) I put forward English sources that use both versions of the name, see the top.

P.S. I apologize for harsh tone. I've been spending an inordinate amount of time fixing sloppiness in coverage of various lesser subjects from Jewish culture and history, so I guess I lost my temper.

Support, or to something else. Zionist Party by itself is confusing. The Latvian branch that was in parliament interwar was part of the
Zionist Youth movement that was active across the Russian empire. --
