Alpine foothills → PrealpsPrealps – "Prealps" is the term commonly used to refer to them (by official classifications such as SOIUSA/Partizione delle Alpi etc, as well as by mountaineers and the people in the countries were these mountains are located). "Foothills", besides being almost never used to refer to them, seems hardly suitable for mountains that are usually taller than 1,000 meters and in many cases than 2,000, with some exceeding 2,600 meters.--Potionkin (talk) 19:13, 27 November 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Bensci54 (talk) 15:06, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

  • People in the countries were these mountains are located do not speak English as a first language, so I would not expect them to really have a preference for Prealps or Alpine foothills. Support, nevertheless. Srnec (talk) 21:01, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
Oppose the current title has been more common on Google NGRAMS since around 2005:[1] This refutes the argument that "Alpine foothills" is not commonly used. Where I live in the United States "foothills" also commonly exceed 1000 meters or sometimes 2000 meters and are still referred to as such. (t · c) buidhe 23:22, 4 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
You should add the hyphenated forms "Pre-Alps" and "pre-Alps" to the ngram. Srnec (talk) 01:24, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
