European Free Trade Association Surveillance Authority → EFTA Surveillance Authority – While EFTA is indeed an acronym for the European Free Trade Association, the correct name of the institution described in this article is the EFTA Surveillance Authority. That is the name under which it was established through Article 108 of the EEA Agreement (http://www.efta.int/media/documents/legal-texts/eea/the-eea-agreement/Main%20Text%20of%20the%20Agreement/EEAagreement.pdf) and the only designation being used in official documents. Moving the page would thus be in line with Wikipedia naming conventions, using a commonly recognizable name and one that readers are likely to search for, and at the same time being precise and concise.

Oppose. We have way too many abbrevations on Wikipedia. Let's make things clear. We don't need to save any ink in here. Readers will still easily find the article as the acronym will be recurrent in the article text. If they chose a long name? Their problem. Chicbyaccident (talk) 21:41, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Support – Even is Akjepi is associated with the organization, they merely point out what is the official name, which happens to also match our WP:COMMONNAME guidelines. — JFG ^talk 11:46, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
