There's work to be done...

Requested move

The request to rename this article to Senate of Pakistan has been carried out.

If the page title has consensus, be sure to close this discussion using {{subst:RM top|'''page moved'''.}} and {{subst:RM bottom}} and remove the {{Requested move/dated|…}} tag, or replace it with the {{subst:Requested move/end|…}} tag.

Senate (Pakistan) → Senate of Pakistan – This article was moved to it's current name on the grounds that it is the constitutional term. However, "Senate of Pakistan" is a common name used by government, media and others. Examples include the senate's official website, the election commission website, a UNESCO document, and articles by the Times of India, the Tribune, the Nation, and the News. In the the constitution, it is "implicit" that where the constitution uses the term "Senate", it is referring only to the Senate of Pakistan and therefore there is no need to continually disambiguate the term. The preface of the constitution of Pakistan uses the term "Senate of Pakistan". The original title of this article fulfills all of the five criteria suggested at "WP:Article titles" - recognizable, natural (in English), precise, concise, and consistent (at least it was until many of the similar articles were also moved by the same user with much the same reasoning).
