• 2022 Republic of Ireland census → 2022 census of Ireland
• 2016 Republic of Ireland census → 2016 census of Ireland
• Census of Ireland 2011 → 2011 census of Ireland
• Census of Ireland, 1911 → 1911 census of Ireland

– Of the three most recent censuses, there's a naming inconsistency that should be resolved in any case. In any case, my main goal in prompting discussion is consistency, and thought the discussion should cover all four of these census, even if 1911 is to be considered separately. While all censuses are good candidates for articles, the 1926 census is a particularly good candidate one, being the first census after the foundation of the state, but Republic of Ireland census would be a misnomer there to distinguish. The simplest approach would be to use Ireland for all, but appropriately note its jurisdictional limit. I'm mindful of the MOS:IRELAND name of the state issues around the name of the state, though I'd submit that this is something that can considered analogous to Government of Ireland where there isn't an ambiguity.

• Support, reasonable and considered proposal. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 21:30, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
• Support. The suggestion "census of Ireland" appears to be the correct interpretation of the MOS guidelines. --Scuoise (talk) 22:48, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
• Comment: After browsing over other articles it seems that all countries' censuses are in the form of [year] [demonym] "census", in this case it would be 2016 Irish census, 2011 Irish census etc. The Central Statistics Office that runs it refers to the census as Census 2019 or Census 2011, but I know the MoS doesn't favour its official name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mullafacation (talk • contribs) 00:47, 14 November 2021 (UTC)

• From what I can tell, there is no such standard format among census articles. Just look at UK (demonym British) and US (demonym American) articles. E.g., 2020 United States Census, not 2020 American Census. Scuoise (talk) 23:24, 14 November 2021 (UTC)
