Landkreis Freystadt i. Niederschles. → Landkreis Freystadt (Lower Silesia) – Per Wikipedia:Article titles#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, the abbreviation i. Niederschles. appears only in one source, most call it (Land)kreis Freystadt. To avoid any confusion with other towns named Freystadt in German I added the (Lower Silesia) to the title. ~~Crainsaw~~ (talk) 06:27, 24 August 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 17:52, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Comment. The name appears to be the official abbreviation for the full name of the town which was "Freystadt in Niederschlesien" which name appears in five English sources as "Freystadt in Lower Silesia". I'm struggling to find more common alternatives. AFAICS "Kreis Freystadt" appears in two English sources and "Landkreis Freystadt" in none. We could avoid the abbreviation by moving it to Landkreis Freystadt in Niederschlesien, but currently the most common English version appears to be Freystadt in Silesia even if you factor out the versions with a disambiguating comma ("Freystadt, in Silesia").

@Bermicourt: Are you requesting one of those? If not, this should be procedurally closed. You (or anyone else who isn't blocked like the nom) could then open a new RM. SilverLocust 💬 20:17, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

@SilverLocust: No I'm not; the current title matches the German Wiki article and that's probably good enough for now. Bermicourt (talk) 20:48, 9 September 2023 (UTC)Reply
