I wanted to add this photo

but the Commons data says it is from 1917 which I think is unlikely. Padres Hana (talk) 14:35, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Faisal I of Iraq and Syria → Faisal I of Iraq – He wasn't ruler of the two countries simultaneously and the current title was moved without discussion. 67.173.23.66 (talk) 02:05, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support move to Faisal I. Peter Ormond 💬 12:30, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support - Indeed, this article used to be named Faisal I of Iraq. Why was it changed? FWIW @WalterII: did it (in Dec 2021), without going the RM route. GoodDay (talk) 15:22, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Should never have been moved. Far better known as King of Iraq. -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:11, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support overwhelmingly known for being king of Iraq, Syria is a footnote. - dwc lr (talk) 15:07, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Faisal I of Iraq → Faisal I – Around 2 months ago, I closed an RM on Faisal II, where consensus seemed to want to move "Faisal I of Iraq" to "Faisal I". I personally have no opinion regarding the matter, but since I can't move this article based on the other's RM, I'm opening this RM instead. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 22:34, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Pinging @Chicdat, @Rreagan007, @Chipmunkdavis, @Makeandtoss, and @ModernDayTrilobite for comment. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 22:36, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose, clarification needed due to another Faisali king in Saudi Arabia, and per WP’s naming policy for royalty. Makeandtoss (talk) 22:38, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support as per my last comment: No Saudi Arabian monarch has used a regnal number (look where Salman I redirects to). Since Faisal I has not been contested for twenty-one years, it is clearly considered the primary topic considering the lack of regnal numbers for Saudi Arabian kings. 🐔 Chicdat ^{Bawk to me!} 23:28, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support given this is a formal RM. I also have no strong opinion, but as Chicdat notes the redirect points here already so this makes sense as a technical move to remove unnecessary disambiguation. CMD (talk) 01:48, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
