Wikipedia:Requested moves
![]() |
This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators. This notice is automatically updated by RMCD bot (talk) and will no longer be displayed when the backlog is cleared. |
Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. (For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.) Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.
Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:
- Technical reasons may prevent a move: a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
- A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested move process is not mandatory, and sometimes, an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
- Unregistered users and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are generally processed after seven days. If a consensus is reached after this time, a mover will enact the request. If not, the request may be re-listed to allow more time for consensus to develop, or be as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
The Move review process can be used to contest a move. It is designed to evaluate a contested close of a move discussion to determine if the close was reasonable, or whether it was inconsistent with the spirit and intent of Wikipedia common practice, policies, or guidelines.

When not to use this page[edit]
Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:
- Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
- Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
- Moves from draft namespace or user space – (new/unconfirmed users only) add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
- Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.
Undiscussed moves[edit]
Anyone can be bold and move a page without discussing it first and gaining an explicit consensus on the talk page. If you consider such a move to be controversial, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons then you may request a technical move.
Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.
Requesting technical moves[edit]
If you are unable to complete a technical move, request it below.
- To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new page title|reason = reason for move}}
- If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~.
- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.
Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]
- Perrie Edwards (singer) → Perrie Edwards (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguation. Gorobay (talk) 15:11, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
Contested technical requests[edit]
Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]
Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves[edit]
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. The move is potentially controversial if any of the following apply:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. In particular, use this process before moving any existing page with incoming links to create a disambiguation page at that title. For technical move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see Requesting technical moves.
Do not put more than one open move request on the same article talk page, because this is not supported by the bot that handles updates to this page. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Requesting a single page move[edit]
To request a single page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:Requested move|NewName|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. Do not sign this.}}
Replace NewName
with the requested new name of the page (or with a question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 02 April 2017" and sign for you.
Use the code |talk=yes
to add separate locations for survey and discussion.
Note: Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as RfC, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topic.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article Alerts to receive RM notifications, e.g. this page is transcluded to here. RMCD bot notifies many of the other Wikiprojects listed on the talk page of the article to be moved to invite project members to participate in the RM discussion. Requesters should feel free to notify any other Wikiproject or Noticeboard that might be interested in the move request.
Requesting multiple page moves[edit]
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
{{subst:requested move
| new1 = New title for page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| current3 = Current title of page 3
| new3 = New title for page 3
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. Do not sign this.}}
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia
and Wiki
, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia
, and replace current2
with Wiki
. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at page 1 (Talk:Wikipedia
). Do not sign a request with ~~~~
as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.

Commenting in a requested move[edit]
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. It is a place for rational discussion of whether an article should be renamed.
There are a number of practices that most Wikipedians use in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they usually do so in bold text, e. g., Support or Oppose, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.
'''Support'''
. - Start comments or recommendations on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *), and sign them by adding
~~~~
to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs, making sure it is indented (using multiple *s). - Please disclose whether you have a vested interest in the article, per WP:AVOIDCOI.
- Please have a look at the article before making a recommendation. Do not base your recommendation solely on the information supplied by the nominator or other editors. To understand the situation, it may also help to look at the history of the article. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior Requested Moves. They may contain relevant arguments and further useful information.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Ideally editors should be familiar with WP:Article titles, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and WP:MOS (among others) which sets forth community norms for article titles.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations on the course of action to be taken that are not sustained by arguments.
- When making your case or responding to others, explain how the proposed article title meets/violates policy and guidelines rather than merely stating that it does so.
- Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line.
- Do not make conflicting recommendations; if you change your mind, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one. The recommended way of doing this is to use strike-through by enclosing a retracted statement between <s> and </s> after the *, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Also, just a reminder that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but valid arguments will be given more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers arguments or evidence that do not explain how the proposed article title meets/violates policy, they may only need a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion. But a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider a dispute resolution process outside the current Requested Move process.
Closing instructions[edit]
Any uninvolved editor in good standing may close a move request. Please read the closing instructions for information on how to close a move request.
Relisting[edit]
Relisting a discussion moves the request out of the backlog up to the current day in order to encourage further input. The decision to relist a discussion is best left to uninvolved experienced editors upon considering, but declining, to close the discussion. In general, discussions should not be relisted more than once before properly closing. Users relisting a debate which has already been relisted, or relisting a debate with a substantial discussion, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient to close. While there is no consensus forbidding participation in a requested move discussion after relisting it, many editors consider it an inadvisable form of supervote. If you want to relist a discussion and then participate in it, be prepared to explain why you think it was appropriate.
Relisting can be done using {{subst:relisting}}
, which also signs it automatically, and is placed at the very end of the initial request (after their signature, and subsequent re-listers signatures).
When a relisted discussion reaches a resolution, it may be closed at any time according to the closing instructions; there is no required length of time to wait before closing a relisted discussion.
If discussion has become stale, or it seems that discussion would benefit from more input of editors versed in the subject area, consider more widely publicizing the discussion, such as to notify relevant WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}}. Applicable WikiProjects can often be determined by means of the banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request.
Current discussions[edit]
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.

Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page. |

- (Discuss) – Foreign relations of Iraqi Kurdistan → Foreign relations of Kurdistan Region – "Iraqi Kurdistan" is a geographical term refering to the Kurdish area in Iraq. Not all of "Iraqi Kurdistan" is under Kurdish control, therefore its misleading and plain wrong to call this article "Iraqi Kurdistan". Ahmedo Semsurî (talk) 13:10, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kim Yeri → Yeri (singer) – Kim Yeri is a combination of Kim's stage name: Yeri, and Kim's birthname: Kim Ye-rim. Since she is better known as Yeri, the article should be moved into the more relevant namespace, this will also keep it inline with other Red Velvet members better known by stage names.

- (Discuss) – Bring on the Night (song) → Bring On the Night (song) – In these titles, "on" is not a preposition, but part of the phrasal verb "bring on", so it should be capitalized per MOS:CT. Compare Bring On the Rain and Bring On the Dancing Horses. Darkday (talk) 11:47, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Augment (linguistics) → Augment (Indo-European) – There is also an augment in the Bantu languages, which is completely unrelated other than the name (which was perhaps inspired by the IE augment).

Also, under the complete song lyrics of Al Dubin in the book: "Lullaby of Broadway: Life and Times of Al Dubin - One of America's Great Lyricists" by Patricia Dubin, Citadel Press, isbn=0-8065-0871-X, the title is listed as: "Tip Toe Through the Tulips With Me".

- (Discuss) – Manuel Uribe → Manuel Uribe Garza – The main title header of this article was moved on 9 October 2008 from Manuel Uribe Garza to Manuel Uribe with the edit summary, "If we drop the "Garza", which most sources don't use, then perhaps people will stop confusing him with Jose Luis Garza". Subject thus became the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC by default, but does not appear to be prominent enough to hold that position. The two others at the Manuel Uribe (disambiguation) page — Manuel Uribe Ángel, "father of medicine of Antioquia", and Manuel Uribe y Troncoso, are both listed with matronymics, unless "Uribe y Troncoso" is considered as one surname. An alternative proposal may be to use a qualifier, although Manuel Uribe (obese man) may not seem satisfactory to some / many !voters. —Roman Spinner (talk)(contribs) 09:24, 8 March 2017 (UTC)--Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Golden swallow (bird) → Golden swallow – There is only one other article with a similar name, Golden Swallow (1968 film), and the bird is obviously the original subject with the name.

I would not be opposed to retaining the "List of ..." title, but I am not sure the best way to pluralise şeyḫülislām: as şeyḫülislāms or following the Turkish Wikipedia as şeyhülislamları.

- (Discuss) – Stephen Jacobsen (bioengineer) → Stephen Jacobsen – Jacobsen was NOT a biologist - he was a bioengineer. He got his degrees in mechanical engineering and founded Sarcos, a medical/military robotics company (http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/saltlaketribune/obituary.aspx?pid=179676942)}. Whoever made this page may not have looked closely at his obituary before creating the page. There exists an unnecessary disambiguation page at the desired name location that lists Jacobsen twice (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Jacobsen). This prevents me from changing the article name myself. Blueclaw (talk) 07:19, 1 April 2017 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Payload Specialist → Payload specialist – "payload specialist" and "mission specialist" are job titles and common nouns, just as "sales manager" is.

- (Discuss) – Panic! at the Disco → Panic at the Disco – Per MOS:TM / WP:TITLETM, to remove a purely decorative exclamation point that is not included consistently in practice (e.g., as with "macy★s" and "skate."). Wikipedia guidelines discourage this sort of decorative punctuation. Per this article, the exclamation point isn't even usually used by the band members themselves and was officially dropped from the name at some point in time. The frontman said he never used it and the guitarist also said it was a bit annoying. A previous discussion on the article talk page in 2013 favored removal of the exclamation point, but the attempt to move the article failed due to inadequate account privilege. (See the discussion section entitled "The !exclamation!".) The article has been moved back and forth before (and an RM in 2009 decided to add the exclamation mark).

- (Discuss) – Robert Walker (English footballer) → Robert Walker (Newton Heath footballer) – Incomplete disambiguation. The current title is ambiguous with Robert Walker (footballer, born 1884), and the only information know about this footballer is that he played for Newton Heath. We don't know his years of birth or death, or even whether he was English, as the current title assumes.
The former Newton Heath FC was renamed to Manchester United F.C. in 1902, after this player's time, so it seems to me to be an anachronism to use Manchester United as a disambiguator ... but if editors prefer to use ManU, I'll go with that as better than the current incomplete disambiguation.

- (Discuss) – Dutch letter → Banket (food) – This article was the result of the merge of two articles, one a type of Dutch pastry (Banket), the other a distinctly-shaped variety of it (Dutch letter). The original proposal was to merge the latter into the former, but instead the merge was performed in the opposite direction (by an uninvolved editor who probably thought they were interchangeable). In order for Wikipedia to cover the general topic of banket (including the common non-letter-shaped, loaf variety), the scope of this article needs to be broadened... restored to the general name. The most common name used in English for this group of pastries as a whole is "banket". For example, this was the uncontested name of the general article for the eight years before it was mistakenly redirected. "Banket" is widely mentioned or described in reference books,[5][6][7][8][9][10] in recipes,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and on retail packaging. There are other proposals, but they are clearly less suitable names: Banketletter is a Dutch term that is unfamiliar to most English-speaking people. It may be the root word from which the English-usage term was derived, but it never became part of the everyday English vocabulary, not even among ethnic-Dutch Americans. It also seems (and not being fluent in Dutch, I can't say for sure... which is a problem itself, I think) to refer specifically to the letter-shaped variety, which also doesn't solve the original problem of the name being too specific. The other proposal – "almond pastry" – is not a name, but simply a vague description with the opposite problem: it is too general, including off-topic items such as bear claw, almond puff pastry, almond danish, etc. There are plenty of sources that use the phrase, but usually not in reference to this food.

This page was moved from Galway Girl just a week ago without any discussion, and I believe it should be moved back to the original title. We should assume that this page is the primary topic for the immediate future, and only turn Galway Girl back into a disambiguation page if the recent pop song ends up clearly challenging this song's position as the primary topic.

- (Discuss) – Robert Walker (black footballer) → Robert Walker (Third Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers footballer) – the current title is a disgrace to an NPOV enyclopedia. Labelling someone solely by their skin colour may have been acceptable when 1950s South Africa was implementing the Population Registration Act, but it is not how en.wp does things.
A move discussion in February closed as "no consensus" because it had gotten fragmented by too many issues, but discussion had begun to focus on using the player's club as a disambiguator: Robert Walker (Third Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers footballer), or Robert Walker (Third Lanark A.C. footballer). The club was known as "Third Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers" when Walker played for it, but was subsequently renamed to Third Lanark A.C., and known as that for most of its history. I prefer the Robert Walker (Third Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers footballer) to avoid anachronism, but support either as an alternative to the current, racially-based title.
Note that the other common disambiguators of nationality and/or year of birth are unworkable here: his year of birth is unknown, and his nationality alone does not produce a unique disambiguator. BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 13:51, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Total Nonstop Action Wrestling → Impact Wrestling (promotion) – per the discussions above. Total Nonstop Action Wrestling has changed its name to Impact Wrestling, and all media covering this promotion will clearly refer to it by its new name for the foreseeable future. There is a desire to maintain their television series Impact Wrestling as a separate and distinct topic on Wikipedia, so parenthetical disambiguation seems the best solution for now. This might eventually become the primary topic for the title, if the TV series article is parenthetically disambiguated, and all existing links to the TV show are re-targeted to the new title of the TV series. wbm1058 (talk) 19:46, 25 March 2017 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kittatinny Mountain → Kittatinny Ridge – Page 'K. Mountains' was created correctly as (now a redirect , and when no opposition appeared, was moved per RfM.
• Redirect was created separately, also correctly, with a proper broader focus. The mountain chain is a continuation of the ridge running from New York, through New Jersey, cut by the Delaware River (Delaware Water Gap) and runs about 150 miles tending south in Pennsylvania as the first barrier ridge of the Ridge-and-Valley_Appalachians as it is the southern/eastern outlier of the the Ridge-and-Valley_Appalachians geologic province and actually extends into Georgia past Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and North and South Carolina.
• The real impetus for this suggestion is Kittatinny, by any name is geophysically part of the Blue_Mountain_(Pennsylvania) barrier ridge, sundered by the Delaware Water Gap. 'Loosing' the ridge characteristic in any name (an 's' suffix preserves it) to me confuses matters, relying on such a poor name choice is contraindicated.
• My preference would be to honor the USGS historic nomenclature most commonly seen on older USGS Map series, making 'Kittatinny Ridge' (New Jersey division) the primary article name, as the articles are about the chain... the ridge, not focused solely some local peak (which are mostly common referents to news coverage and smallish local municipal civil engineering project planning discussions. (For examples: See ridges labels on maps for examples: in Nesquehoning Creek (map: 1893 style "ridge" seen along some ridgelines, while other barrier ridges have "Mountain's'" instead and compare to ‹See Tfd›Broad Mountain (what is possible with USGS software - computer generated last few months. We no longer have to put up with features off center, or that have an quadrangle's edge division splitting the map).
• Furthermore, today, every coordinate on most our every articles can give users access geohack topographic maps with a few clicks, and depending on the service, the old alternative ridge names are alive and well. They are also far more plain to see with modern map software such as Acme mapper.com linked by the GNIS/USGS software — the author seems to be a bloody genius about combining and merging data from multiple sources.

Backlog[edit]
- (Discuss) – Logistics Combat Element → Logistics combat element – Capitalization - none of these are proper names, just terms for military formations, no more magical than "armored brigade" or "infantry platoon". MOS:CAPS says "Do not apply initial capitals in a full term that is a common noun just because capitals are used in its abbreviation.", though it is easy to get the feeling that the upper case in these is directly and solely due to the capitals used in their abbreviations. Some formations of these types already have correctly lower-cased articles: Ground combat element, Aviation combat element, Marine expeditionary unit.

The list of football clubs in India includes at least a dozen others with the word "united" in their title". Adding the disambiguator will create a unique title.

- (Discuss) – 100 Years (film) → 100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See – It's a better title, because it is a little more vague about what the entity is -- which in this case is what we want, since what the entity is is somewhat uncertain. Disambiguation is needed here, since 100 Years (song) exists. But by disambiguating with "(film)" we are, by clear implication, presenting this entity as being in essence similar to other "(film)" entities, such as Star Wars (film) and The Dark Knight (film). But its not. Whatever you think of this entity, and even if you do believe a film exists (and as the Washington Post says, "maybe it does"), it's quite an unusual phenomena. The entity being described here is quite difference in its essence from what is described by other film articles -- after all no living person has seen it or ever will (except the people who made it and their associates). "100 Years: The Movie You Will Never See" is just the long form of the title (we use it to open the lede), and avoids the somewhat debatable proposition that what the reader is about to read is the same as any other article about a film. Maybe it is, but its debatable, so let's just avoid the issue, since we have a perfectly acceptable alternate disambiguation term. Herostratus (talk) 20:11, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – The Personals (1998 American film) → The Personals: Improvisations on Romance in the Golden Years – "The Personals: Improvisations on Romance in the Golden Years" is the name listed on the Oscars website (the article's only reference), plus WP:NATURAL applies. A more fundamental problem is that there's no verifiable source (as required by WP:NCFILMS) demonstrating the film was released in 1998 anywhere in the world (even though 1999 Oscars is supposed to be for 1998 films). IMDB says the film premiered in 1999, and this claim can be verified here. For this reason, I think we should agree with IMDB that this documentary is in fact a 1999 film, and the Taiwanese film can be moved to The Personals (1998 film) with a hatnote for the documentary.

In fact a Google search of "Singaporean integration referendum" shows only Wikipedia mirrors or derived sources *Using "Singaporean" here instead of "Singapore" is against the common usage (and also incorrect because Singaporean
is not exactly a demonym for people of Singapore, is usually a noun used for citizenship). The adjective for Singapore is "Singapore". Almost every single source mentioning the referendum calls it "Singapore national referendum". The One source which uses Singaporean actually does so because of the former title of this Wikipedia article]. It should be noted that long back this article was originally at Singapore national referendum, 1962, so I am simply trying to move it back to the original title.

- (Discuss) – Wiarton Rock → Wiarton Schooners – The franchise changed ownership and name. I moved the page. The owners contested that they were not "associated" with the former franchise and I moved it back. Evidence points to the owners just trying to push marketing and WP:BIAS (they kept deleting info instead of collaborating) to disassociate from the previous owners. The official league stance indicates that it was a franchise transfer and not an expansion (all other expansion announcements are titled "Expansion: ____", this one never mentioned expansion).

- (Discuss) – Jordanian occupation of the West Bank → Jordanian West Bank – Better reflects the contents of the article, which discusses the history of the region between 1948-67. The initial act of occupation (as in "invasion") is covered in the article on the 1948 war. Describing the 1948-67 period as an occupation is factually incorrect, as the area was annexed (see the article military occupation which explains the difference) with the explicit consent of the Palestinians. There was some debate from other Arab states as to whether Jordanian control should be permanent, or more like a "trusteeship", but the Jordanians were clear that this was a permanent arrangement and provided full civilian control and citizenship. So I propose we simplify the title to remove both confusion (for readers that are looking for info about the invasion) and stop it from misleading (for those that readers that the word occupation would make think this was military control like the current status in the West Bank).

The current article title also includes spaces to the right and left of the "+", which I suspect are also not really part of the proper title and are just there to try to make the title visually attractive. Perhaps the "Clare Fischer & Salsa Picante Present" is just a prefix lead-in to the actual title, which is just 2+2 – the name of the quartet.

- (Discuss) – Oldham Roughyeds → Oldham R.L.F.C. – Following the discussion at Talk:Toronto Wolfpack regarding ignoring sources we know are factually wrong, I believe it's time to take another look at renaming this article. At the Wolfpack talk page, it was decided that although several sources claim that the club is the first trans-Atlantic professional sports club, we would not include this line in the article due to the fact it is clearly wrong as several other examples of trans-Atlantic pro sports teams can be provided. This issue here for Oldham is, some sources still refer to the club as Oldham Roughyeds as if it's the clubs official name, yet we *know* from several other sources, including the club itself, that the name of the club is Oldham R.L.F.C., with Roughyeds being the clubs official nickname. To put this into context, it's like having the Hull City A.F.C. article at Hull City Tigers or back in RL terms, having the Halifax R.L.F.C. article at Halifax Blues. Some sources: Official Oldham RLFC Twitter displaying the clubs name while using the nickname as the handle, Official club website again using the nickname as a handle, while clearly displaying the offical club name at the top of the page and Love Rugby League, widely used by Wikipedia as a reliable source for RL articles, using the clubs proper name – Just a quick final note, the reason I'm proposing the "R.L.F.C." suffix instead of "RLFC" is to conform to the standard on Wikipedia as per Hunslet R.L.F.C., St Helens R.F.C. and Hull F.C. etc..
