With the exception of "Iraq", this article seems to use transliterated Arabic names for places, rather than the most common English names. This makes it difficult for a non-Arabic speaker to recognize the places being discussed. For example:
While the transliterated names are more "correct", Wikipedia uses whatever names are most common in English to maximize understanding of the text. Kaldari ( talk) 19:19, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
The result of the proposal was moved to List of caliphal governors of Sind. -- BDD ( talk) 19:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC) ( non-admin closure)
List of caliphal governors of al-Sind → List of caliphal governors of Sindh – "Sindh" rather than "al-Sind" is the most common name for the province in English (and also the title of the Wikipedia article on the province). Per WP:COMMONNAME, the title should reflect the most common English name. If there is a reason to use "al-Sind" rather than "Sindh", the titles of the other articles should be changed as well to be consistent. Otherwise it is confusing to readers.

Support List of caliphal governors of Sind (without 'h') per WP:COMMONNAME. -- RJFF ( talk) 10:52, 18 October 2012 (UTC) Edited after I saw Ro4444's comment -- RJFF ( talk) 10:39, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
