Central National Committee of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia → Central National Committee (Chetniks) – this is not the common name in reliable sources in English. The current title is used in only three sources, [1], only one of which is independent of the subject (Lees) and the proposed name, or a close match to it (allowing for our disambiguation policies), has about 250 hits [2], including books by academic experts on the Chetniks, such as Tomasevich, Hoare, Ramet, and Milazzo, all of whom use "Central National Committee" combined with the word Chetnik or Chetniks. The current name also appears (from the placing of it in quotation marks by Lees) to have been effectively a propaganda name used by the committee after Mihailović was removed from the Yugoslav government-in-exile, and is therefore quite imprecise and misleading, implying that it was some sort of ruling body over Yugoslavia, when it clearly was merely a Chetnik organ throughout its existence.

Oppose - There is no WP:COMMONNAME, which is precisely why we have the current official title. --Antidiskriminator (talk) 19:50, 24 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support Rationale given by nom persuades me. Ramet, Tomasevich, Hoare and other established academics on matters of WWII Yugoslavia use the word "Chetnik" when referring the this organization. It is the common name in English, and as such it better suits the article than the current name does. Ktrimi991 (talk) 19:06, 1 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
