Tītī / Muttonbird IslandsTītī Islands – Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE, and MOS:SLASH.

Searching Google News (1, 2, 3, 4) we find:

  • 30 using just "Tītī Islands"
  • 17 using just "Muttonbird Islands"
  • 3 using just some form of the dual name
  • 1 using both the "Muttonbird Islands" and some form of the dual name
  • 3 using both the "Muttonbird Islands" and "Titi Islands"
  • 1 using "Muttonbird Islands", "Titi Islands", and some form of the dual name.

It is clear that the COMMONNAME is now "Tītī Islands", with the current dual name title being widely rejected by reliable sources. BilledMammal (talk) 04:24, 10 December 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 14:48, 17 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per WP:RECOGNISABLE and the fact that multiple reliable independent sources (of the types which are suggested by WP:WIAN) use the dual name. Given the roughly equivalent use of both Tītī Islands and Muttonbird Islands, and the fact that sources such as gazetteers and maps use the dual name, the current title is the best option to ensure that everyone who is wanting to find the islands can quickly and easily do so.
