Predictions of the collapse of the Soviet Union → Predictions of the dissolution of the Soviet Union – Consistency with Dissolution of the Soviet Union. Charles Essie (talk) 22:51, 2 September 2021 (UTC)— Relisting. Havelock Jones (talk) 10:34, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
- Suggestion: "Collapse" is a more easily understood word that appears to mean the same thing, and I strongly suspect it is more commonly used in sources about this topic. By contrast, "dissolution" is a very obscure word that a lot of people couldn't confidently define. Every fluent English speaker could rapidly and confidently tell you what a "collapse" is. How about renaming the other article instead? — BarrelProof (talk) 16:39, 3 September 2021 (UTC)
- Oppose. "Dissolution" and "Collapse" are not synonyms, with dissolution in this context meaning "separation into component parts". Not all predictions of Soviet Collapse entailed such a dissolution, and to rename the article in this manner would thus result in the title being too narrow for the content of the article. As such, I have to oppose this move. BilledMammal (talk) 08:28, 5 September 2021 (UTC)
- That's a good point. Request withdrawn. Charles Essie (talk) 17:44, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
