Georgia Time → Tbilisi TimeTbilisi Time – Georgia Time moniker was first introduced in this edit in 2013 without any sources for it. Then, the article was renamed in 2018 to it without any reasoning from the previous name Time in Georgia (country). As far as I can tell, this is not a name ever featured outside of Wikipedia. GET timezone is officially named Georgia Standard Time, while the name used in the country most commonly and in sources in Georgian is Tbilisi Time. So, in my opinion, the article needs to be renamed to Tbilisi Time (generally following the structure of naming such as Moscow Time etc.), or back to its original name before the rename in 2018, though that one is much less succinct. stjn 12:12, 21 August 2026 (UTC) — Relisting.

Support moving back to pre-2018 title; weak oppose "Tbilisi time", because if that isn't the official name of the time zone I don't think we should be giving it undue weight; and the way sources in English refer to a subject are the primary consideration in article titling. Also Moscow's time zone is not comparable with Georgia's for this reason: the entire country of Georgia has only one time zone. Russia has about...10, ish? So time zones in Russia necessarily have to be named for their major cities, because "Russian standard time" would be a totally useless descriptor.
