The result of the move request was: Moved to 2022 Russian war censorship laws as there is a rough consensus on the word "censorship" in the article title. (non-admin closure) Spekkios (talk) 00:56, 6 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

2022 Russian fake news law → 2022 Russian fake news laws – article states that this refers to a group of federal laws, not one in particular. QueenofBithynia (talk) 16:05, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Alternate rename to 2022 Russian censorship laws or 2022 Russian war censorship laws. "Fake news" is a term that violates WP:NPOV by implying that the news the laws are censoring is fabricated, which is not the case outside of official propaganda. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:23, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
- Support 2022 Russian war censorship laws. Fake news is a cliché term that should not be used when reliable sources are being censored. The law is nothing more than a censorship attempt. CollectiveSolidarity (talk) 23:59, 26 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
I suggest to restore the original title of this article - "Russian 2022 Laws Establishing War Censorship and Prohibiting Anti-War Statements and Calls for Sanctions". K8M8S8 (talk) 20:02, 1 July 2022 (UTC)Reply
Support 2022 Russian fake news laws as proposed. Fake news laws is the common name in English, fake news is a phrase in the title of most of the article's English-language references, and is in the text of the others. And it is not one particular law, so despite our normal practice the plural is the more recognisable. This proposed title is also consistent with the existing title of Russian fake news laws.
