Per Talk:Iceland. I abstain for now. — Ungoliant ^(Falai) 19:55, 9 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Strong keep I see no evidence backing up Liefurf's claim. "Republic of Iceland" is easy to cite. CIA World Factbook, a fairly authoritative source, gives Republic of Iceland as the "conventional long name". The Government of Iceland uses the long name, as do the European Union and the United Nations. "Republic" isn't used all the time, but it's certainly used by all the relevant official groups.

"Republic of Iceland" is an erroneous, not an official name of the country, even if it's cited, therefore delete. Like Canada, etc. Iceland is the official name of the country. Russia and the Russian Federation are co-official names of one country, i.e. both names are official but it's not the case with Iceland, it's just Iceland. --Anatoli ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 22:46, 14 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

Keep as an attested geographic name. If it is demonstrably considered erroneous, a usage note can document that. However, the comment to Talk:Iceland could have referred to the definition line of "Iceland" reading "A country in Europe. Official name: Republic of Iceland." It is this definition line that is to be corrected. --Dan Polansky (talk) 18:10, 15 January 2013 (UTC)Reply

I apologize for first now seeing this, but I was talking about the definition line in the page on Iceland. --Leifurf (talk)
