History of the Jews in North Macedonia → History of the Jews in Macedonia (region) – I know Balkans naming is a touchy issue, but this article claims to cover 2,000 years of history with a name that has only applied to the country since 2 years ago—an unsuitable and ahistorical situation. Many sources on the history of Jews in (North) Macedonia actually cover areas that are not presently in the country (see below), so I think it would make more sense to change the name and scope of the article. I would also support another suitable name. (t · c) buidhe 02:53, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

- Oppose. Of course there is a history of Jews in others parts of the region of Macedonia, but those are covered in the Greece (and Thessaloniki) and Bulgaria articles. A Jewish history article exists for every modern European country, just like this one. --Local hero talk 14:42, 14 July 2020 (UTC)
- Oppose as above. North Macedonia is an area as well as a modern country, so there's nothing anachronistic about this. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:55, 15 July 2020 (UTC)
