The result of the move request was: No comments for 10 days. No consensus for move. Second article has not happened, so we'll stick with what's current for now. ( non-admin closure) — Andy W. ( talk · ctb) 20:11, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
Prignitz → Prignitz (district) – "Prignitz" is the name of a historical region of Brandenburg that today forms part of the Prignitz and Ostprignitz-Ruppin districts. Even though we currently don't have an article on the eponymous historical region, it is an inadequate title for this administrative district which is anyway usually referred to as "Landkreis Prignitz" in German and as "Prignitz district" in English. The very least we should do is adding a disambiguator, pending further discussion on a new, consistent naming scheme. -- PanchoS ( talk) 12:53, 25 July 2016 (UTC) --Relisting.

Here is a Google translation of the lede of de:Prigniz:
The Prignitz (in older spelling also Priegnitz , formerly as Vormark designated [1] ) is a historical region in the northwest of the country Brandenburg . Essentially, it covers the Prignitz district and parts of the district Ostprignitz-Ruppin . Small parts of the historic region Prignitz now belong also to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ( Landkreis Ludwigslust-Parchim ) and Saxony-Anhalt (in Havelberg ).
Many Wikipedias have articles on the current political division, such as de:Landkreis Prignitz and fr:Arrondissement de Prignitz. The German article lede reads (Google translation) The Prignitz is a county in the extreme northwest of the country Brandenburg . He is after the historic landscape Prignitz named. However only the German, French, Africaans, Polish and Swedish Wikipedias currently have separate articles on the historical region.
It seems to me we could justify separate articles. There is plenty of material in the other Wikipedias. Of course we can't cite these as references, but we can use many of the sources they cite (perhaps all, but there are minor differences in the various policies on what's an acceptable source, so we can't assume).
