On 4 April 2025, it was proposed that this article be moved from Emirate of Nejd to Second Saudi state. The result of the discussion was moved.

Changing spelling of ‘Nejd’ to ‘Najd’.

The proper way to say such a name is Najd, as per Najdi Arabic as well.

Both ways are correct in the English language, although to make it right 2/2 is by using the Arabic and native way of saying such a place. “Najd” is the proper pronunciation.

Please change it to this spelling, or allow a discussion to be had so that I can take part in to reach a final conclusion. WatanWatan2020 (talk) 00:22, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Emirate of Nejd → Second Saudi State – It's the WP:COMMONNAME per the ngrams. (Noting that "(s)econd Saudi State" and "Imamate of Nejd" are non-existent names per the ngrams) 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 18:42, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support alternative Second Saudi state Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCCAPS. This ngram shows us that the lowercase form second Saudi state is as common or slightly more common than Second Saudi State. Consequently we should use the lowercase alternative proposed. I also checked for other lowercase alternative here. The COMMONNAME and lowercasing was confirmed against google scholar searches [1][2][3][4][5]. Cinderella157 (talk) 05:57, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah sure I got no problems with this 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 11:35, 5 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
