Macedonia and international organisations

The result of the discussion was:rename all per expanded nomination. (Note: I did participate in this discussion, so I am
WP:INVOLVED ... but since every comment supports the proposal, this is an undisputed case per
WP:INVOLVED. So I am closing now as part of an effort to clear the big CFD backlog.) --

Nominator's rationale: for consistency within
Category:Ambassadors of North Macedonia. At
WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 16#North_Macedonia, the nomination excluded categories which refer to the participation of the country in international organisations such as the United Nations, which sometimes uses a name different to the name chosen by Wikipedia's naming policies. However, the UN immediately adopted the new name, see this citation from the main article: "On Thursday afternoon, the UN Protocol and Liaison Service announced the official switch over within the UN, from the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, to the new name of North Macedonia."
[1] NATO
[2] and EU
[3] are also using it. –

Support. As noted above, I excluded these from the mass nomination of 650 categories at
WP:Categories for discussion/Log/2019 February 16#North_Macedonia. That was because usage with those organisations has been hotly disputed, and i thought it best that these formerly v controversial categories be given individual consideration.
The evidence presented by @
Fayenatic london demonstrates that all three international organisations have updated their usage to adopt the new time created as a result of the
Prespa agreement. So I think that the case for renaming is clear.
Thanks for FL for doing the research, and for being so nice about my pedantic oppose of doing this via speedy. These international orgs were kinda the epicentre of the now-resolved dispute, so I think that being cautious and bringing it to full discussion was best.
Support all - there seems to be very little actual Wikipedian opposition to the change from 'Republic of Macedonia' to 'North Macedonia'.

Nominator's rationale:upmerge redundant category layer, with only one subcategory for the capital of the country. The district and province categories are also container categories containing only one subcategory, ultimately only for the mosques of the capital of the country.
