Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was PAGE MOVED per discussion below. -GTBacchus^(talk) 00:08, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Austro-German relations → Austria–Germany relations — First reason: replacing hyphen with en dash per WP:ENDASH. Second: All other bilateral relations use the country name format instead of prefixes to describe the relationship. — Tavix | Talk 17:14, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Support. All the other pages at Category:Bilateral relations of Austria are in the format "Austria–Othercountry relations". Jafeluv (talk) 10:22, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Any additional comments:

There are, by the way, over 400 similar pages that either violate WP:ENDASH (unspaced even though one or both country names contain a space) or use some other format (eg. "Greek-Turkish relations" or "Greco-Turkish relations" instead of "Greece–Turkey relations"), or use non-alphabetical order for the countries (eg. "Turkey–Greece relations"). I'm not proposing that anyone should move all of these by hand (maybe a bot could do it?), just pointing out that not "[a]ll other bilateral relations use the country name format instead of prefixes to describe the relationship".

Both Austria and Germany people are ethnically German. Why are you removing it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince123456789 (talk • contribs) 17:15, 10 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Austrians are not viewed as of German ethnicity. That is a concept of the 19th and early 20th century. I removed it. Source: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/au.html 213.162.68.190 (talk) 21:09, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
