GRUNK → Royal Government of National Union of KampucheaRoyal Government of National Union of Kampuchea – Official names are should be used for articles about historic states. --Relisted. ^walk victor falk ^talk 23:23, 20 May 2014 (UTC) --Relisted.

• Comment The nominator's rationale is flawed, GRUNK is not a former historical state, that would be Kingdom of Cambodia (1975-76) ^walk victor falk ^talk 04:58, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• Comment. If the acronym is better known then it should probably be used. Even if the full name is used it should be Royal Government of the National Union of Kampuchea, which is the natural English. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:41, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
• Support move to "Royal Government of the National Union of Kampuchea". Coreyemotela (talk) 20:33, 15 May 2014 (UTC).

• Oppose It's a perfectly cromulent acronym per WP:ACRONYMTITLE and WP:TITLEFORMAT. I think people are just a little jarred in the lack of decorum a (royal no less!) government something as prosaic as "grunk". It is the wp:commonname as shown by wp:rs and wp:v sources. ^walk victor falk ^talk 23:16, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
• Support - relatively impenetrable and obscure acronym. Gouvernement royal d'union nationale du Kampuchéa should really be with "the" as User:Necrothesp. Grunk could mean anything and fails WP:CRITERIA to this User at least. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:16, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

So do nato and nasa. ^walk victor falk ^talk 02:19, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
