The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus for this move. Also noting that if a future RM is to occur, all relevant pages must be tagged for the consensus to apply (as there's only a few dozen pages, this is not unreasonable).

Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic in December 2021Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic (December 2021) – The way the title is written, the prepositional phrase "in December 2021" appears to modify "pandemic", not "responses". (This applies to all similar articles about month-specific responses.) Georgia guy (talk) 18:14, 12 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 23:47, 19 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • Mild oppose, but disagree with RM premise - the word "in" has the effect that the prepositional phrase can only modify "responses" in this sentence. In order to modify "pandemic", "of" would have to be used instead. I think that's what you mean, anyway..if it's any more nuanced than that, I don't think many people would take the time to construe some slightly different semantic meaning other than the intended meaning, which seems to me the most obvious one. 2600:1702:4960:1DE0:6CAD:7C51:CA86:3A6A (talk) 04:45, 13 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Mild oppose. Grammatically speaking, either bracketing is possible, but a typical reader is very unlikely to be confused by the ambiguity. Thus I'd prefer to preserve the naturalness of the current title. Colin M (talk) 16:37, 20 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose disagree with the nominator's rationale. Super Ψ Dro 12:19, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
