ISO 216 → International standard paper sizes – The current title is a relatively obscure standard name for most readers. Although it is the official name, I would propose something else. Open for discussion to improve this proposal, but I would like to move away from the ISO standard number page title. PhotographyEdits (talk) 21:13, 24 December 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.

Apparently the standard also defines a B series and a C series. Perhaps International standard paper sizes? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 21:49, 24 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please note that titles should not contain bold or italic markup, which causes trouble. I'd support either the status quo or International standard paper sizes. –LaundryPizza03 (d c̄) 05:20, 25 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with your proposed name change, but I do want to comment that there should be no italics in the name: it works if made use of Template:Italic title. PhotographyEdits (talk) 01:19, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I have changed the move target to International standard paper sizes, because I agree that is better option. PhotographyEdits (talk) 01:17, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support International standard paper sizes. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:23, 26 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Weak oppose. not entirely convinced by the argument of obscurity. other articles about ISO standards unless there is an official name for whatever it implements. creating the new title as a redirect would also help searchability. Juwan 🕊️🌈 16:40, 30 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
