Actually - I think that
Checco has a point there, looking at precedents from other political party articles, so I now disagree with
Maremmano's proposal, as things currently stand.--

On third thoughts, unlike say 'Socialist Party' or 'Union of the Democratic Centre', the name 'Edelweiss' doesn't automatically connect to being that of a political party, being a common plant name, so I've now come round to neutral, but leaning towards the idea that
Maremmano has suggested. I will need to think on this.--

I don't understand the opposition of Checco: a disambiguation with the country is necessary only when there are other parties with the same name. In this case the best disambiguation is "Edelweiss (political party)". Which is your position,
Autospark?--

Haven't quite yet decided - both your arguments are convincing to me. However part of me wants to suggest using a literal translation (Alpine Star), ignoring the plant name, although I realise that would be technically incorrect!--

I think that specifying the typology of page is more important than the location, the title "Edelweiss (Aosta Valley)" seems that the page concerns a typology of Edelweiss and not a political party...--

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: Consensus to move. An alternative name of Stella Alpina was also mooted, but there was insufficient comment on this proposal, so the current title of Edelweiss is retained for now — Martin (

Oppose for consistency with virtually all articles on Italian political parties. Additionally, I think that shrt names are better. --

"Edelweiss (political party)" is not a long name, furthermore the indication of the Nation/Region does not contribute to explaining the difference from the other pages with this name. The nation/region must be indicated as disambiguation when we are talking about the same type of subjects, for example to distinguish parties of different nations with the same name. In this case the disambiguation must concern the type of subject. --

Support. The current title is very ambiguous and does not meet neither
WP:NAMINGCRITERIA nor, particularly,
WP:PRECISE, i.e. that "titles should unambiguously define the topical scope of the article" and "distinguish it from other subjects". This is not the case at all for "Edelweiss (Aosta Valley)". As has been explained by the nominator, edelweiss is a flower which grows, among other places, in the Aosta Valley (to the point that this political party takes its name and logo from the flower itself!), which makes the title very ambiguous and unclear on what is the article's actual scope. Titles should not be established according to one particular person's preferences contrary to established naming conventions and guidelines.

Oppose current name is fine, and has been established a while without incident (although I’m be open to changing it in future if notable clashes occurred).—

Well, doesn't the fact that there was a move attempt followed by this very same RM constitute proof that there is an incident on it? The current name does not abide to current WP naming conventions and is open to confusion as explained above, as it is unprecise. There does exist a previous discussion on this very talk page discussing the opportunity of such a name. Significantly, I don't think that the argument that "it has been like this for a while" is a valid one, specially because if it has not been contested for a while doesn't mean it can't be contested later on. It is never late to make an article title to comply with WP guidelines.
Impru20talk12:31, 6 May 2019 (UTC)reply
Good points there, although I currently prefer the existing title. (Aside: if we are to think of alternative article titles that do not include “Edelweiss”, I would prefer Stella Alpina, the party’s native language name. I prefer translated English language titles for political parties wherever possible, but this feels like a possible exception, and would provide WP:NATURALDIS.)—

My take on this is as follows: The structure of the title for articles on political parties under current WP naming guidelines and conventions (namely, according to the joint interpretation of
WP:NAMINGCRITERIA and
WP:NCPP) would advise for not using disambiguation unless it is required to distinguish the subject from:
1) two similarly named parties from different countries, i.e.
Socialist Party (France) and
Socialist Party (Italy). In those cases, however, the article's topic (what you would call the what) is already unambiguous (in the sense that it refers to a party named "Socialist Party"), with the only need to clarifiy the where (the location, as there are various similarly named parties around the world).
In this case, "Edelweiss" would fall under the second group: there isn't other parties around the world named like this (so the disambiguation "(Aosta Valley)" is entirely unneeded), but it is not clear what the article's topic refers to (as it could refer to
Edelweiss (Leontopodium nivale), which is the
WP:PRIMARYTOPIC on the term, a flower which also happens to grow in the Aosta Valley).
Stella Alpina could be a valid alternative choice, though, but it would depend on whether that name is predominantly used by English reliable sources over "Edelweiss" (otherwise, if "Edelweiss" is preferred, then the article would have to be named Edelweiss (political party) as the correct disambiguator).
Impru20talk13:34, 6 May 2019 (UTC)reply
Impru20 has perfectly expressed the reasons why this page should be moved, the current title "Edelweiss (Aosta Valley)" is the classic example of how a disambiguation should not be used: the flower (Leontopodium nivale) is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC on the term and just for this reason the disambiguation must concern the subject. The title would be wrong even if the flower (the PRIMARY TOPIC) didn't grow in the Aosta Valley, but the fact that the Edelweiss is a typical flower of the Aosta Valley makes the title of this page totally unsuitable and misleading. @
Checco and
Autospark: your motivations seem too hasty to me, also because the title of this page is clearly contrary to Wikipedia rules. I have not found English sources quoting this party but I think that "Edelweiss (political party)" is the best title, anyway even "Stella Alpina" would be better than the current title, so also this second solution would be fine to me.--

Support current title is imprecise, as it could refer to the flower in the Aosta Valley. While there are two other party articles that disambiguate using regions of Italy (
Greens (South Tyrol) and
Mouv' (Aosta Valley)), in these cases the geographic name is unambiguous, and 'Greens' is a common name for political party, so geographical disambiguation is required. The precise location of the party does not matter for disambiguation, but (Italian political party) or (Valley Aostan political party) could be used if required.
