Antarctica in World War II → Antarctica during World War II – No warfare took place in Antarctica, so "during" would be a more accurate descriptive title. The article describes several activities by various countries, none of which included hostile or warlike acts. The current title implies that Antarctica was in some way involved in the war. See WP:TITLE. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 12:38, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support. While "in" doesn't necessarily imply involvement, its common use to describe an involvement is more likely to parse in that manner, where "during" is neutral and works fine.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 13:17, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Support. The word In makes it seem like Antarctica was a country involved in the fighting as opposed to the locations of various expeditions. I just created this from a redlink at requested articles so I did not make the title. I think during would make much more sense. Gandalf the Groovy (talk) 14:29, 22 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
Support per nomination, Fuhghettaboutit and Gandalf the Groovy. "During" is certainly more intuitive than "in". —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 02:58, 23 May 2021 (UTC)Reply
