The original Persian name seems to be just "Civil Aviation Organization". However, that could be ambiguous on enwp understandably. "Iran Civil Aviation Organization" seems grammatically wrong to me. My first choice is "Civil Aviation Organization of Iran" which eliminates the redundant parts (i.e. the Islamic Republic). The official English translation seems grammatically wrong to me either. I think the correct English translation would be "Civil Aviation Organization of the Islamic Republic of Iran", in which the has been omitted. Another option would be "Iranian Civil Aviation Organization". Anyway, don't concentrate too much on the English website of the organization. Just pick the most appropriate one. Do not expect Iraninan organizations (including their websites) to follow a manual of style strictly and systematically.

It's actually the convention everywhere on Wikipedia. A minority of articles not sticking to it (often because the creators didn't know it was the convention) doesn't really prove anything. Look at the subcats of
Category:Civil aviation authorities by continent rather than the list for the actual names that have been used. The majority are probably correct. --

I'm not looking to prove anything. I wanted to be sure that the proposed move would be correct, and I believe it is. — Alexis Jazz (

Requested move 9 January 2023
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. As highlighted in the discussion, there is a lack of accessible evidence at the moment that there is a change in the name of the organisation. This move discussion can be revisited when there are evidence that can be presented. (

You're only going on an abbreviation on a website nobody can access! That's not much in the way of proof and not a good enough reason to change the title. You will see that Civil Aviation Organization and CAO also come up on that Google search. We need better proof than this. --
