The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move. We have consensus that "Irimote Island" is a more common name and consistent with related articles; interested editors may want to look into another RM for just "Irimote" if that's a preferable title. Cúchullain ^t/c 15:32, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
