– These Category:Subregions of Eritrea do not have "Subregion" as part of their proper name (nor "Administration" on a few). The source for most or all of these just lists the proper name part, without the generic appended. Same with "Regions" of Eritrea, which I've added per BP's comment below.

Comment: If performed, I suspect the six 'Region' names should be changed similarly. I notice omission of 'region' from the names at Eritrea#Administrative divisions and from the opening sentence of Gash-Barka Region. Also see the opening sentence of Regions of Eritrea. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:55, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I added those 6 at the end, since nobody else has commented yet. Dicklyon (talk) 02:19, 26 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some of these capped Regions came in about 13 years ago, in edits such as this one (by an editor indef blocked for a high level of ban evasion). Dicklyon (talk) 05:28, 28 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Relisting comment: I might have moved this large scale request early, so, I’m relisting for more participation. Best, Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 08:04, 2 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support per WP:LOWERCASE; subregion is a generic term. Frostly (talk) 06:09, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support, since not consistently capitalized in independent RS (MOS:CAPS, WP:NCCAPS). See GScholar results (when there are any): [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], etc., etc. Not only are these not consistently capitalized, the usage is actually majority lower-case. More importantly, these clearly are not actually names at all but WP:NDESC descriptive phrases. The actual names are simply Adi Keyh, Massawa, Segheneyti, etc., with "subregion" sometimes tacked on as a disambiguator or other clarifier, and often enough spelled "sub-region" or misspelled "sub region" ["sub", in this sense, is not a stand-alone word but a prefix]. The most common constructions are actually things like "... in several sub-regions, including Foo and Bar", and other usage that is not juxtaposing the name directly with the word "sub[-]region", but just making it clear somewhere in the same material that the are is a subregion. Even when juxtaposed, the "Foo subregion" order was often enough inverted into "subregion Foo". Sometimes completely different terms are used like "district", "subzobas" (combining Latin sub- with a local-language term), etc. PS: The lack of capitalization even holds for the larger regions; see e.g. the results for Anseba and Gash-Barka. Ultimately, this is not any different from "the US state of Georgia" "Ontario province", "the traditional county of Lanarkshire", etc. A proper-noun name combined with a lower-case descriptive label.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  19:43, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support These are not part of an official name that might be capitalised but a descriptive term that is being used as a disambiguator (in many/most cases) to distinguish it from the population centre of the same name. Cinderella157 (talk) 23:12, 7 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
