Just waiting for the QPQ, but besides that everything looks perfect. Right length, right age, and the citations look good. Great job! -- Guerillero | Parlez Moi 13:40, 7 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq (2020) → Partial withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq (2020) – Titles gives the impression that all (or almost all) troops either have been withdrawn, or that there is an agreed plan to do so this year. This is not the case. Yes, the Iraqi parliament voted to kick them out, but the vote was non-binding on the government, and in February, the Iraqi government invited the coalition to stay. See this. So this article only covers the partial withdrawal that have already happened. ― Hebsen ( talk) 19:42, 14 April 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. b uidh e 19:46, 21 April 2020 (UTC) reply

Support – I Agree with the move. It's not a total withdrawal, more of a gradual drawdown and pre-planned shifting of US military posture in-country, due to, according to the Coalition itself, changing situations regarding the ongoing fight against ISIL and the coronavirus pandemic, while denying the Persian Gulf crisis or Iran has anything to do with the developments. In my opinion, not only does the current title overplays the notability of the current situation, the article is also kind of shoehorning Iran's role in this and overvaluing the non-binding Parliament vote.

Oppose – A partial withdrawal is still a withdrawal. This article is also about Iraq's vote to expel foreign troops. The title has "(2020)" in it but would change to "(2020–present)" so long as the withdrawal continues.
