– Ministry name reverted to the way it was back in 2007 AbdulOlu (talk) 06:48, 18 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 12:12, 27 August 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 16:05, 3 September 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. EggRoll97 ^(talk) 00:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting, as until a few minutes before this request was made the target was an article. Futher discussion is needed to determine what is to be done with the target article; whether these cover the same topic or different. BilledMammal (talk) 12:12, 27 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The first thing is to update the articles to represent current realities. Will you be available to do that? Moving the article without an update complicates things. HandsomeBoy (talk) 09:43, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Little findings:
- FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION & COMMUNICATIONS [1]
- FEDERAL MINISTRY OF CULTURE TOURISM AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION [2]
- FEDERAL MINISTRY OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE [3]

BUT

On the fmic.gov.ng website, it is Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation which is the correct new name.

So, the case here should be merging Federal Ministry of Information and Culture (Nigeria) into Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation (Nigeria) as there's no longer ministry called Federal Ministry of Tourism, Culture & National Orientation. --Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:48, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Also, I think it's best to just have the page at Ministry of Information and National Orientation (Nigeria), then redirect Ministry of Information (Nigeria) to it as that is currently what is widely known.

If there's an agreement on merging, I could conveniently merge both at the above suggested location and do the necessary redirect. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:53, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Just for clarity, the communications ministry is now called Federal Ministry of Communications and Digital Economy and has been since 2019. [4]--Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:59, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@HandsomeBoy Hi, this request has been relisted several times, can I take action? Or relist again? Regards :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:22, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. No move action required, simply merge to Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation (Nigeria). Jenks24 (talk) 13:01, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
