Military rule in Burma → Military rule in Myanmar – Due to respect the current name of the country "Myanmar", which in use since 1989 and needs a consistency for all articles naming "Myanmar", i think it should be changed in order to reflect the current name of the country, even more RS refer it as "Myanmar" rather than "Burma" due to recent coup in 2021. 110.137.165.39 (talk) 23:48, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I see no reason not to move the article since the main country article is currently located at Myanmar. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:32, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. It's its name so it has to be. Shrek 5 the divorce (talk) 04:03, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. I agree that the proposed name reflects the situation more properly. Abul Bakhtiar (talk) 04:38, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. per above. Phoela14 (talk) 18:49, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Support. Myanmar is the name of the country, and most articles about Myanmar have "Myanmar" written in the title, not "Burma", so I don't see why we shouldn't move the article. 74.197.49.165 (talk) 22:38, 4 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
