The result of the move request was: Move. Very obvious choice. Gateshead001 (talk) 23:18, 30 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

1997 nationalist riots in Northern Ireland → 1997 Northern Ireland riots – Better name, no need to mention 'nationalist' and keeps it in common with other riot article names. Also 'nationalist' may not be a necessary good word especially as there is Irish 'republican' as well. Just keeping it a simple '1997 Northern Ireland riots' sounds a lot better and clearer.

Support per WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENCY. There may also be WP:NPOV and WP:NOR concerns. Do we have proof that all rioters were nationalists? — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 22:47, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
