Oppose: Why not just Abu Musa Island? --

'Abu Musa' by itself covers many topics: names, places, events etc. Following what how articles are normally titled (specification in brackets eg.
Gummo (song)), I believe the new title would fit best along other articles of similar title and topic.

Oppose - I prefer "Abu Musa Island", no need for brackets. —

Should I create another move request to 'Abu Musa Island' as that seems to be the most popular of the consensus?

Relisting note I have speedy closed the move request to "Abu Musa Island" below, as that should be considered as part of this RM. I am relisting this so that it too can be considered. Thanks, --

Oppose. In common parlance, Abu Musa by itself seems to go as PRIMARY to the island, which needs no further qualifier as in
Tahiti or
Rhodes. The religious figure might be expected to be found at
Abu Musa al-Ashari, the most CONCISE search term. Conversely, someone looking for
Saint Paul, Minnesota would know they have to go a step further than
Saint Paul, the PRIMARY to the religious figure.

There is no need for Arabic pronunciation in the article
This island belongs to Iran and only its Persian pronunciation should be mentioned in the article.
Not the pronunciation of another country.

Given that the island was formerly administered by the Emirate of Sharjah and that it remains a disputed territory, including the Arabic pronunciation in this article is justified.

Absolute ownership of the island
The island is owned by Iran, according to a satellite photo. There is no connection with the UAE

Given that the UAE still claims to the island, and that the island was formerly administered by the Emirate of Sharjah prior to the Iranian invasion, there absolutely is a connection to the UAE.
