Strong Oppose per WP:ENGVAR and per arguments above, this article should used Pakistani/British spellings, as it have strong colonial ties to Britain before independence. Privatisation in Australia formerly had named "Privatization" in 2019 but now changed to "Privatisation" because how Australian English spelling mention that (ise preferred over ize). 180.241.205.155 (talk) 22:28, 1 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
Oppose given that "privatisation" seems to be somewhat more dominant in Pakistani English spelling. (For an example of what I mean by "somewhat": the Ministry of Privatisation (Pakistan) states on their homepage at www.privatisation.gov.pk that they are entrusted with the task of privatizing federal government assets). 59.149.124.29 (talk) 07:18, 2 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
