Mina' Rashid → Port Rashid — The name "Port Rashid" is the most common name used for this port. It is used by the operator of the port [1], and the local media [2] [3]. "Mina Rashid" is not used as many times as "Port Rashid." —Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 22:45, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Support as nominator. Leitmanp (talk | contributions) 22:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Support - in keeping with [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions, particularly using English and the most common name. For consistency, "Port XX" or "Port of xxx" is also the common terminology for Wikipedia ports articles. Euryalus (talk) 02:14, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
