I don't think Google should be the determinant. The organisation was called the Communist International. Comintern was a Russian abbreviation which later became established jargon within the Communist parties. The article should use the correct name, with a redirect from Comintern.

In capitals? I doubt that. Anyway, an encyclopaedia is not just for the petit bourgeois intelligentsia. It is for the broad masses of the proletariat and peasantry. In any case this is a very inadequate article which I will have a go at rewriting when I have time. Adam 11:58, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
It doesn't apply to those who insist on accurate usages. Adam 01:35, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The entry is total rubbish at present. No use to anybody and terribly unbalanced. This was an incredibly important body for much of its history. I've not the time to begin a proper rewrite at present but I will map out a rough structure that will allow the entry to be rerwritten in easy chuncks taking into consideration its history. I would also suggest renaming Communist International as this was its proper name despite the common use of the abreviation Comintern. I would also suggest moving liusts such as the Twenty-One Conditions and lits of affiliated parties and so forth to their own entries. This will allow their reproduction in full without unbalancing this entry. Heres hoping these suggestions work for youse guys.

The result of the move request was: no consensus. Not seeing agreement here to return to the article title, "Comintern", so we will keep the present title for now. As usual with a no consensus decision, there is no prejudice toward future attempts to garner consensus for the portmanteau title. Happy Holidays to all!

Communist International → Comintern – Per WP:COMMONNAME: Google Ngram. Also per WP:CONSISTENCY: We have articles titled Anti-Comintern Pact, 1st Congress of the Comintern, List of delegates of the 2nd Comintern congress etc. Timmyshin ( talk) 21:36, 24 November 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

"The Communist International (Comintern), known also as the Third International (1919–1943), was ...", so as give the briefer, perhaps more colloquial, version a bit more prominence (parenthetical, right next to the initial bold term, as has been done with abbreviated instances elsewhere [n 1]). -- A Fellow Editor ( talk) 20:19, 25 November 2017 (UTC)
