The result of the move request was: Not moved only one editor agrees with the nom and Andrewa’s oppose argument is exceptionally strong in terms of policy basis, mentioning concision and common name as well as the weakness of official names.

• Support for many US state-level legislative bodies, there is tension between official documents which do not use the phrase "State Senate", and common usage that does. Here both the official name and the common name are "State Senate". User:力 (power~enwiki, π, ν) 20:07, 12 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Oppose. The official website appears to have the title primarily "State Senate" with a slightly unusual lower level prefix, like a pre-subtitle "New Hampshire", resulting in a double level title that is verbose when destyled. Also Google Ngram. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 07:34, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, quite a 1975 spike [1]. SmokeyJoe (talk) 21:40, 13 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Oppose. There are a couple of outriders at Category:State upper houses in the United States, some (possibly all) for good reasons. But the current article name here is concise and unambiguous and easily recognisable, and follows the more common pattern for State senates. There seems no reason to lengthen it. The official page is a primary source and carries little weight. Andrewa (talk) 11:16, 31 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
