The title of the page

I doubt that "Suomi-konepistooli" is a good name for this page. This term is nearly unknown outside Finland. As for me, "Suomi submachine gun" would be a better choice. --Greg-Z (talk) 13:01, 21 November 2021 (EST)

That would make sense, since "konepistooli" is just "submachine gun" in Finnish. TheExplodingBarrel (talk) 13:29, 21 November 2021 (EST)

TBH, I don't see why the name change was entirely necessary. It's not like we don't have pages where the most common/prevalent/recognizable member of the family is the headline, even if it wasn't the first (e.g. the Luger P08), and it's not like the KP/26 is going to see that many media appearances anyway. We could probably just move it back and call it a day.

So, does anybody object to me just moving it back? Like I said, the KP/26 is a minor enough entry that I don't think it needs to influence the page's name. Pyr0m4n14c (talk) 09:42, 14 December 2021 (EST)

Done. --Greg-Z (talk) 10:14, 15 December 2021 (EST)
