For centuries Burma has been known as Burma. The decision of a brutal, genocidal dictatorship (see Rohynga) does not and cannot change the name of the country in the English language.
Following this logic, we must immediately start calling Germany Deutchland. France will now be La Republique Francaise."
That is not a legitimate policy based reason to WP:PIPELINK Burma in place of Myanmar. On top of that it violates our policy on WP:NPOV. You are currently slo-mo WP:EDITWARring across 3 articles (including this one), and were warned twice in the space of 15 minutes on your talk for the other two. Some friendly advice, I'd leave like it currently is and build a consensus here at the article talk page before changing it again. Same at the other two articles. It's WP:BRD, emphasis on the "D" if challenged by other editors.Heiro19:10, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
There seems to be a basic confusion here between "traditional name" and "official name". By your reasoning (and as I've noted before), we should apparently talk about Thailand as Siam, and about the island of Sulawesi as Celebes. Oh, and I suppose all that Soviet Union nonsense can be disposed of, since it was all within the boundaries of the good old-fashioned Russian Empire, known as such for centuries? (Have fun making arguments about not recognizing a tyrannical upstart regime in that case...) Current political denominations, as used by the majority of reliable sources, is what Wikipedia bases its nomenclature on. That means Myanmar in this case. --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 22:56, 14 May 2020 (UTC)Reply
