Note This article was recently boldly moved by @CambridgeBayWeather: to reflect the new name of what was the "Ministry of International Trade and Industry". At the same time the "(Malaysia)" parenthetical was removed. This nomination seeks to accept the first change and reverse the second one. RevelationDirect (talk) 04:12, 20 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Support per WP:RECOGNIZABLE and WP:CONSISTENT. There's no way that 99.9% readers infer what country the article is about other than reading it. Removing the country just because we can helps on one, and conciseness is not a virtue in itself. No such user (talk) 08:37, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The purpose of parenthetical disambiguation is to disambiguate from other articles, not to engage in speculation about what is recognizable or treat fundamentally different cases as if they were the same. * Pppery *it has begun... 17:19, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
WP:TITLE: the ideal article title precisely identifies the subject; it is short, natural, distinguishable and recognizable; and resembles titles for similar articles. The only virtue of the current title is that it's dozen characters shorter than the proposed one; we do not have to "speculate" that no one outside Malaysia would not recognize it, it's just common sense.

Support. I would presume without disambiguation that this article pertains to Japan's MITI. Japan's MITI is quite well known, certainly far better known than Malaysia's, although very few are exactly sure what the acronym stands for. It is useful to disambiguate. There is only gain by this move, and no loss. Walrasiad (talk) 21:05, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
