Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia → Titoist YugoslaviaTitoist Yugoslavia – Since there were two official names of the state, this article needs to be renamed to Titoist Yugoslavia in the lines of Francoist Spain and Ba'athist Syria per WP:COMMONNAME. If anyone wants to argue the support or opposing the move, be my guest, there are evidence that backs up to numerous sources: , , ~2026-24978-26 (talk) 17:12, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

I can't even find the phrase after clicking those three links. The current title is a bit formal, sure, but you're not making a good commonness argument. --Joy (talk) 18:18, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Then look up "Titoist Yugoslavia" on Google via various multiple sources. I was going to share many links but I opted to cut into a fe especially a few media outlets. ~2026-24978-26 (talk) 21:16, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Oppose and speedy close (if possible): Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is, by far, the most commonly recognizable name for this country (of this period). Nominator's rationale rests on the false equivalence between various article titles, each shaped by their own subject-specific considerations, which are irrelevant to the naming of this article. There is no tenable basis for titling this article anything other than Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. – Vipz (talk) 18:55, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

Concerning name changes, they do not pose a problem; please read WP:NAMECHANGES. – Vipz (talk) 19:59, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

• Oppose. While "Titoist Yugoslavia" appears in some sources, including ones that you cited, it is not even close to being the common name. The current name is clearly way more common than your proposed name. A quick search on Google Scholar reveals this. StephenMacky1 (talk) 21:12, 28 April 2026 (UTC)

  Second Yugoslavia is fine by me ~2026-26132-90 (talk) 19:21, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

  We'll stick with the common name. That alternative name is already mentioned in the article. StephenMacky1 (talk) 19:24, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose For one, Yugoslavia continued to exist for ten years after Tito died. HadesTTW (he/him • talk) 15:41, 3 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose While Josip Broz Tito is the most prominent leader of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, he was not the only one. While Titoist Yugoslavia, established after World War II, was characterized by its unique approach to socialism and its independence from Soviet influence. Tito's leadership allowed Yugoslavia to develop its own model of self-management socialism, which included a market economy based on workers' self-management in industry and private enterprise in agriculture. This approach transformed Yugoslavia into a genuine federal state and abandoned the 'leading role' of the Communist Party, which was renamed the League of Communists. Also the régime was continued by Lazar Koliševski. L.D.4.E.3 (talk) 04:47, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose per StephenMacky1. Titoist Yugoslavia would certainly not be among the first several names used to best describe the subject, and I'm seeing very minimal sourcing to suggest otherwise in my own search. • Quinn (talk • it/its) 10:51, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Oppose. This isn't comparable with Syria and Spain, because those articles dealt with the specific periods in these countries' lengthy histories when they were ruled by these people, whereas this article deals with the entire history of the SFRY. Also, I live in Serbia and have never once in my life heard the phrase "Titoist Yugoslavia". "SFRJ", on the other hand, is very much in use. JustARandomSquid (talk) 11:05, 4 May 2026 (UTC)
