Full disclosure, I started a thread on WP:AN (Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Close review of Talk:Abs district#Requested move 24 January 2025) because I thought that a lot of time has passed since the discussion. But per WP:MR I come to your talk page first.
You closed the move as moved with the remark "Per consensus, that while district is part of the name, it doesn't make it a proper noun."
With all due respect, that is just plain wrong. If a word is part of the name then the whole name is a proper noun. One cannot say that just because a word exists on its own as a common noun that it can never be part of a proper name. This shows a gross misunderstanding of how the English language works. I hope that you will revert your move and if a case can be made for moving individual articles (not based on bending the rules of English orthography) then that should be made on the Talk pages of those individual articles.

- I'd have to agree with Turbo here. If "District" is actually part of the name, it's part of the proper noun and thus correctly captialized. - The Bushranger One ping only 21:58, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
