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.
- Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
- A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves 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 consensus is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will enact the request. If not, the request may be re-listed to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.
When not to use this page
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. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. - 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
Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:
- No article exists at the new target title;
- There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
- It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.
If you disagree with such a move, 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
If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct page if you tried to move a page, and you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:".
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

- To list a technical request: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist| current page title | new page title | reason = reason for move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page. the - 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.
Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Phillip Walker (American football) → P. J. Walker (move · discuss) – WP:NATDIS and WP:COMMONNAME. The only issue is that P. J. Walker is a disambiguation page that also lists a wrestler (Justin Credible) who had a short-lived "PJ Walker" ringname early in his career. "PJ Walker" as a search term really only brings up the quarterback, thus it's better if we simply include an "about" template on the quarterback's page. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 19:35, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:
- 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, such as to correct obvious typographical errors, see Requesting technical moves. The technical moves procedure can also be used for uncontroversial moves when the requested title is occupied by an existing article.
Do not create a new move request when one is already open on the same talk page. Instead, consider contributing to the open discussion if you would like to propose another alternative. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Do not create a move request to rename one or more redirects. Redirects cannot be used as current titles in requested moves.
Requesting a single page move
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 24 March 2020" and sign the post for you.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the article:
Note: Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as Requests for comment, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Google Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topics.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article alerts to receive RM notifications. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts/Requested moves is transcluded to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. 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, as long as this notification is neutral.
Single page move on a different talk page
Occasionally, a move request must be made on a talk page other than the talk page of the page to be moved. For example, a request to rename Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates would need to take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation because the talk page of the project page to be moved, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, is a redirect to that centralized discussion page. In this type of case, the requested move should be made using the following code:
{{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}}
Note that the |1=
unnamed parameter is not used, and that the |current1=
and |new1=
parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
Requesting multiple page moves
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).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{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.
Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace. For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is not itself proposed to be moved, specify |current1=Current title of page 1
for the first page to move.
Request all associated moves explicitly
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to move Cricket (disambiguation) to Cricket because you do not believe the sport is the primary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, both Cricket (disambiguation) and Cricket. Thus you must list proposed titles for each page affected by your request. For example, you might propose:
If a new title is not proposed for the sport, it is more difficult to achieve consensus for a new title for that article. A move request that does not show what to do with the material at its proposed target, such as:
is incomplete. As a malformed move request, it may be subject to early closure on procedural grounds.

Commenting on a requested move
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. There are a number of standards that Wikipedians should practice in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they write Support or Oppose in bold text, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.
'''Support'''
. - Comments or recommendations are added on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *) and signed by adding
~~~~
to the end. Responses to another editor are threaded and indented using multiple bullets. - The article itself should be reviewed before any recommendation is made; do not base recommendations solely on the information supplied by other editors. It may also help to look at the article's edit history. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior move requests. They may contain relevant arguments and useful information.
- Vested interests in the article should be disclosed per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Editors should make themselves familiar with the article titling policy at Wikipedia:Article titles.
- Other important guidelines that set forth community norms for article titles include Wikipedia:Disambiguation, specific naming conventions, and the manual of style.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations that are not sustained by arguments.
- Explain how the proposed article title meets or contravenes 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.[a]
- Do not make conflicting recommendations. If you change your mind, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <s> and </s> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with 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 using a dispute resolution process.
Closing a requested move
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. The Simple guide to closing RM discussions details how to actually close a requested move discussion.
Relisting a requested move
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.[b] 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 automatically includes the relister's signature, and which must be placed at the very end of the initial request after the move requester's signature (and subsequent relisters' signatures). When a discussion has been relisted a bot partially underlines the "Discuss" link in the lists of debates: (Discuss).
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 by notifying WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}} or {{Mdn}}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.
Notes
- ^ A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement is transcluded into the list on this page.
- ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
Current discussions
- 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. |

This page is accessible only by searching explicitly for "anti-sex" OR by following the link at the head of Sexism (no other page links to this disambiguation). I see how antisexism can be confused for antisexualism but antisex just means being against sex, so this page should be really Anti-sexism (disambiguation). Relevant discussion: this was the discussion where it was decided that Antisexism redirects to Sexism and the point that antisex is a poor choice for the name has already been raised there Yoramus (talk) 15:17, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2020 Summer Olympics → 2021 Summer Olympics – Games have officially been postponed to 2021. While the branding will remain as "Tokyo 2020", Wikipedia's current article name does not reflect the branding nor the locale — just "2020 Summer Olympics" — which is now unquestionably incorrect. I propose "2021 Summer Olympics" as the best alternative, but if there are other suggestions they should be discussed as well. Some possibilities would be "2021 Olympics" (as they may not 100% take place during summer), "Tokyo 2020" (to reflect the branding which will be retained), or "2021 Tokyo Olympics".— Crumpled Fire • contribs • 14:15, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Ernie Morrison → Sunshine Sammy Morrison – per WP:COMMONNAME. Subject was not known to the public as "Ernie Morrison" and his most-frequent on-screen credited name was Sunshine Sammy Morrison. Occasionally, the credit was Sammy Morrison or simply Sunshine Sammy, but never Ernie Morrison. The main header of his American Film Institute entry or his Turner Classic Movies entry is Sunshine Sammy Morrison. Here is a link to the film Spooks Run Wild which lists his stage name acting credit as "Sunshine Sammy Morrison". If consensus skews towards moving his entry's main title header to the full form, with the stage name in quotes — Ernest "Sunshine Sammy" Morrison — I would also support it. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 04:21, 24 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Chun Kwang-hoon → Jeon Kwang-hoon – Nearly no articles in English use describe the subject as Chun Kwang-hoon. This romanization is only used by one opinion piece in the Korea Times as well as this article. There are also other more popular variants such as Jun Kwang-hoon and Jeon Gwang-hoon. While there is no yet an established name (WP:ESTABLISHED), it is clear that Chun Kwang-hoon is not the most common name. I suggest the article be changed to Jeon Kwang-hoon as it appears to be the most common. The name of the article should be changed to reflect this.

- (Discuss) – Big Ten Conference Men's Basketball Tournament → Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament – The word "Conference" is not really necessary and makes an already-long title even longer. The proper name for the tournament is "Big Ten Men's Basketball Tournament" as listed on the conference's official websites.[1][2] This name is also used by ticketing sites[3][4][5] and some other secondary sources.[6][7][8] Some sources do use other variants on the name, such as "Big Ten men's basketball conference tournament",[9] or "Big Ten Conference Tournament"[6]. Most commonly, sources will just say "Big Ten Tournament" and use context to indicate which sport,[10][11][12] but that won't work here – we need disambiguous article titles. The title "Big Ten Conference men's basketball tournament" does see some use,[13] but it's just one of many variants out of the crowd (and it's worth remembering that some sources might be copying us). I'm also proposing similar moves for all the other Big Ten tournaments based on the same reasoning (with the exception of men's ice hockey and the 2015–17 women's lacrosse articles, which already use my naming scheme). All the tournaments exclude "Conference" from the official title, and I suspect the names used in secondary sources would look pretty similar for each of them.

- (Discuss) – Luxembourg's cuisine → ? – This article was at Luxembourg cuisine from 2011 to 2019. @Dylan Smithson: moved it in 4/2019 to Luxembourgish cuisine, with no comment. Then @Ipigott: moved it in 9/2019 to Luxembourg's cuisine, with the comment "Luxembourg is used for the language, not the cuisine" (presumably meaning Luxembourgish). In fact, the only reasonable names for this article are Cuisine of Luxembourg or Luxembourg cuisine. Luxembourg's cuisine is clumsy, and not very common (2280 on Google). Luxembourgish cuisine, as Ipigott said, refers to the language, and is very rare on Google (80). Cuisine of Luxembourg is fairly common (7700), and Luxembourg cuisine the most common of all (17700). These are general Web results. Google Book counts are roughly proportional, with Luxembourg cuisine being the only variant with over 100 matches. Macrakis (talk) 23:16, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Zane Smith (racing driver) → Zane Smith – Similar to what we did a few months ago with the two Sam Mayer articles, I request we do the same for Zane Smith. It appears that on most days, the Zane Smith racing driver page gets more views (in the 20's or 30's) than that of the baseball player of the same name (in the teens). Being a NASCAR fan, the racing driver Zane Smith could potentially be on his way to have a lot of success/be a big name in the near future, while the baseball player Zane Smith seems like he was just average/another baseball player that wasn't standout or anything, plus he played way back in the 1980's and 90's, so not many people may know about him. For comparison: Zane Smith (racing driver) page views: https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-30&pages=Zane_Smith_(racing_driver) Zane Smith (baseball player) page views: https://tools.wmflabs.org/pageviews/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&range=latest-30&pages=Zane_Smith Thanks.

However, when the all-time view counts are compared, this film only comes in fifth, though this may be due to this article being moved to its current title literally two weeks ago (not too sure how that gadget works in regard to recently moved articles), especially since the view counts for the past twenty days tell a different story.

- (Discuss) – Jordanian annexation of the West Bank → Jordanian occupation of the West Bank – This is referred to as an annexation while the Israeli annexation of the Golan is referred to as an “occupation”. Both offer full citizenship, both faced limited recognition internationally (both even were recognized by one member of the UN Security Council), and both faced push back against sovereignty from parts of their respective populations (however, both were not conquered from a previous sovereign, as the West Bank had no sovereign while Golan did; if this is relevant though, then the current Israeli occupation of east Jerusalem ought to be characterized as an annexation (wouldn’t apply to the rest of the West Bank given Israel’s lack of claim at this moment to the area). I propose the name of this article be changed to “occupation” or the Israeli occupation of the Golan henceforth be referred to as an “annexation” given the similarities between the situations. This would harmonize terminology, as behooves any encyclopedia. Zarcademan123456 (talk) 20:11, 4 March 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. © Tbhotch™ (en-3). 18:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Christianity and other religions → ? – The phrase "and other religions" is vague since with its position in the title, the scope of the article can be assumed to be about all religions ... since "Christianity and other religions" = "all religions". To remove the potential confusion with this article title, some possible suggestions on where to move it (that I can think of) are Relationship of Christianity with other religions or Relations of Christianity with other religions.

- (Discuss) – Boney M. → Boney M – Both the proposed name (i.e. no full stop) and the current name (i.e. with full stop) are used by news articles. Books may have used either one as well, but may more likely recently omit full stop. (eBook edition of band member's autobiography uses full stop.) Even if the full stop is part of the band's official name, seems that the one without the full stop is more commonly used. Somehow, Google wouldn't exclude the name with the full stop in search results for some technical reason. Checking sources from this and last year, Billboard uses full stop. PhilStar omits full stop. (More sources listed below.) I think omitting the full stop is more beneficial for most readers, including those preferring to not using it for manual searches. Also, per WP:DIVIDEDUSE, if I'm proven wrong, and if both the proposed and current names are commonly used, then the proposed name is less surprising than the current one because, I think, many people don't expect the full stop to be there. Moreover, per WP:CRITERIA, it's consistent with articles like Melody (Japanese singer), Janet (album), and Gangsta (manga). If the article were to be moved, then other articles using the band's name should be moved as well. George Ho (talk) 21:41, 23 February 2020 (UTC)—Relisting.

- (Discuss) – A-Channel (Craig Media) → A-Channel (TV network) – The current title is uncommon disambiguation not supported by WP:NCBC. According to the article, The A-Channel is a television system. According to television system
in Canada, a television system is a group of television stations which share common ownership, branding and programming, but which for some reason does not satisfy the criteria necessary for it to be classified as a television network under Canadian law. As the term "television system" has no legal definition, and as most audiences and broadcasters usually refer to groups of stations with common branding and programming as "networks" regardless of their structure, the distinction between the two entities is often not entirely clear; indeed, the term is rarely discussed outside the Canadian broadcasting enthusiast community
. Seeing as how the article says that the definition of "television system" israrely discussed outside the Canadian broadcasting enthusiast community
, that seems like using "television system" as disambiguation would be MOS:JARGON and per WP:RECOGNIZABILITY should be avoided. So per WP:NCBC "(TV network)" is the better option.

- (Discuss) – Dhammakaya Movement → Dhammakaya tradition – Per reasons provided by Wikiman above: "First, the article and sources define it as a Thai Buddhist tradition, so it would be perfectly accurate to call it such and would be a superior way to convey information to readers quicker. Second, it is noted by Newell[2] on pages 15–16 that the term Dhammakaya Movement is sometimes used interchangeably with Wat Phra Dhammakaya by various scholars, which can be very confusing, especially if a reader was to do further reading and read stuff about the Dhammakaya Movement when the scholar or source was really just talking about Wat Phra Dhammakaya specifically. Since this page is clearly about the wider tradition that began at Wat Paknam that just happens to include Wat Phra Dhammakaya as well as several other temples, it would be beneficial if we titled the article in a way that makes the distinction clear. Dhammakaya tradition would be good way to do this, and it would still be very much accurate, since it is a Buddhist tradition."

- (Discuss) – Republic of Ilirida → Ilirida – Nobody seems to be clear on what the end goal of this vague idea was -- Albanians in Macedonia needed a name for the collective areas they inhabited that did not involve "Macedonia", but it was not clear if they wanted simply more rights in Macedonia, a federation state with Ilirida and rump North (Northeast??) Macedonia, an independent republic, an independent parliamentary monarchy with Prince Leka as monarch, merger with Albania, or merger with Kosovo. Hence it would seem simple "Ilirida" would be the best designation for the topic. Calthinus (talk) 21:57, 15 March 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. Jerm (talk) 15:00, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Hyphenated version of this unfamiliar term is clearer than detatarization, which looks like it might mean “application of detatar” or something.

The American cheese is unknown outside North America, and frankly I find it pretty insulting to the 450+ types of real Swiss cheeses to have this stuff take the plain title. Despite this misleading title, it does not even get the top views - see this analysis, where it gets 1/3 of the views of Emmental cheese, and fewer than Raclette & Gruyere (I added this one to Category:Swiss cheeses just for the duration of this RM - obviously it should not be there long-term). "Swiss cheese" should redirect to the disam page Swiss cheese (disambiguation), under that title or the plain name. That should look something like this recent version. There are some pertinent comments in the ill-attended and confused discussion 5 years ago (see above), where the proposal was left unclear - always fatal. I see no merit in a merge of anything.

If further disambiguation is needed, because there is more than one sculpture of the same person with an article, then disambiguation by location rather than the sculptor is usually better." Tadeusz Kościuszko Monument (Washington, D.C.) is also an option, per this source and Category:Monuments and memorials to Tadeusz Kościuszko, but I'd prefer to see evidence this is the most commonly used name. --Another Believer (Talk) 00:25, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Not entirely sure what the correct one should be, but KLEA (defunct), the first title this article was moved to, isn't correct either; earlier RMs at other articles have deprecated "defunct" as a disambiguator, the official call sign was KLEA-FM with the "-FM" suffix (the naming conventions for North American broadcast stations have long said that article titles reflect the official call sign, but have no set standard for defunct stations' disambiguators), and there is an equally-defunct KLEA (AM). The two most logical options I can think of are KLEA-FM (Lovington, New Mexico) (the current KLEA (FM) is licensed to serve Hobbs instead) or KLEA-FM (1965–2017) (it never had any other call sign, limiting the confusion that may or may not otherwise exist with that disambiguator), but there might be other paths as well.

- (Discuss) – Pinks → Pinks (TV series) – DAB from Dianthus/Dianthus plumarius, Pink and Fox hunting. Although per WP:PLURALPT the colour isn't a strong contender for "Pinks" like with Oranges its probably likely enough but the flower is more relevant like the fruit is with the plural form since plants can be referred to in the plural form. A Google search returns most results for the plant but the singer and colour WP articles do come up on the 1st page of results but the TV series doesn't. An images search shows most results for the flower but the colour is also there, again the TV series isn't. A Books search again mainly shows the flower but the singer is the 1st result. "Pinks" should probably redirect to Pink (disambiguation) per WP:DABCOMBINE and PLURALPT (similar to the Paper/Papers example) but a separate DAB page could be created. site:wikipedia.org Pinks does return the TV series 1st but the singer, colour and Shades of pink are next. By views[[8]] the TV series gets 694 but Dianthus gets 7,517 (which would probably be primary if anything by PT#2), Dianthus plumarius gets 789, the colour article gets 14,874 and the hunting article gets 7,947 but that's probably not a strong candadate since the meaning is only mentioned there, only appearing once. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:14, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Limes → Limes (frontier) – WP:ASTONISH, DAB from Lime (fruit), Limes (magazine) and Lime tree. By PT#2 the fruit/tree would likely be primary. See similar cases like Bones, Bookends, Cars, Cats, Parachutes and Pixies which no only does the specific meanings not take precedence, the general meanings do. I propose that like Dockers, Cuts and Threads we redirect "Limes" to Lime per WP:DABCOMBINE since there are quite a few meanings that would be on both DAB pages if split. While its true that per WP:PLURALPT users can be expected to use the singular more often they are still full matches and anyway it gives the examples of Cars and Bookends redirecting to the singular named article. When I Google limes most of the results are for the fruit other than "Limes Hotel" in Needham Market and "The Limes" near Ipswich but that's probably because of my location. An Images search returns all results for the fruit until quite a way down of which is an images from this article. A Books search does return more results for the Roman meaning but oddly the material is also there. On Commons, Commons:Category:Limes is about the fruit with the Roman meaning at Commons:Category:Limes (frontier). By views[[9]] the Roman meaning has 3,173 but the fruit has 14,926 and the tree has 12,880 and the magazine has 160. Also the material has 20,784 and the colour has 2,648 but per PLURALPT and the Oranges example these aren't strong candidates for "Limes" since these are mass nouns but the fact that the material comes up in a Books search does provide counter evidence. I would not however redirect "Limes" to the fruit since it might send readers coming onto the page from external sites per User:Andrewa/Incoming links so having no primary topic makes sense in addition to the other uses such as the tree and the magazine. The lead of the DAB page could be changed to "Lime" or "Limes" may refer to. This was moved in 2013 but this was reverted, see also discussion with the user that moved it. The fruit is also a level 5 vital article and is known by virtually everyone and although the Roman meaning might have been important in the past, its likely that even then the fruit would still be more so. A site:wikipedia.org Limes returns the fruit, then the Roman article, then the DAB page, then different fruit articles such as Persian lime. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:49, 21 March 2020 (UTC)

Secondly, per Wikipedia's policy on commonly recognisable names, as "Stennis Space Center" is used far more often than "John C. Stennis Space Center", with the former returning 562,000 results on Google while the latter returns 113,000 results.[16][17] Also notable is the fact that over a thousand people have visited this article via the existing Stennis Space Center redirect in the past 90 days, with an average of 12 readers a day.[18] Throughout 2019 and early 2020, third party sources alike have exclusively used "Stennis Space Center".[19][20][21][22][23][24] The recent suspension of operations at Stennis amid the COVID pandemic also illustrates well the name's widespread usage among third party sources.[25][26][27][28]

- (Discuss) – Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Incubator/Operation Victory → Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Incubator/British Naval Service – per main article "British Naval Service", which is the WP:NPOV descriptive term (see WP:NDESC) used in the lead of Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/Incubator/British Naval Service.
"Operation Victory" is thoroughly POV, and also WP:Original research since there isn't even an article of that name.
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a fan club for any one country or its military services. And neutrality is of the core Five Principles: see WP:5P2. WikiProjects are supposed to be collaborations to uphold those core principles, so their titles should reflect those principles ... but this title looks like an exercise in flag-waving partisanship.

- (Discuss) – List of unlawfully killed transgender people → List of people killed for being transgender – Followup to the above RM, in which I proposed that we intentionally re-scope and rename this list to be something more typical for Wikipedia, more focused on the important aspect, prevent the list from growing exponentially as it has been, and avoid several categories of WP:NOT, WP:RUNOFTHEMILL, and WP:BLP. I believe that most people would expect that this list would only include those people for whom their transgender status was tied directly to the circumstances of their deaths according to sources. Scoped as it is now, the inclusion criteria is so broad that it dilutes the topic. As mentioned above, this scoping would also allow listing of those killed under lawful circumstances within their countries, such as death penalties for being transgender.

For reliable sources, Google News shows ~104,000 results for telecommuting vs. ~33.3 million for "work from home." Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:11, 11 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Coronavirus → Coronavirus (group of viruses) – There is no doubt that the vast majority of people searching for the term "coronavirus" will be looking for an article directly related to the current pandemic. Very few people will be looking for information on the subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, so they should not be immediately directed to this article. I also wouldn't underestimate how easy it is for infrequent Wikipedia readers to miss the header directing them to other pages.

- (Discuss) – 1SWASP J140747.93−394542.6 → V1400 Centauri – Wikipedia's currently-accepted naming conventions for stars preferences variable star designations ahead of "the most widely recognised (other) name." V1400 Centauri / V1400 Cen is recognised by SIMBAD,[1] the American Association of Variable Star Observers,[2] and at least two scientific papers,[3][4] as the variable star designation for this system. I also believe the current title fails Wikipedia's policy on commonly recognisable article titles, simply because of its long and illegible nature, which makes it highly unlikely to be memorable – let alone recognisable – for any reader.

- (Discuss) – Regional councils of Sweden → Regions of Sweden – “Regional council” as a translation of “region” seems to be made up on Wikipedia. I checked the websites of the regions, and out of the 21 regions, 9 had either no English website at all or only a machine translation, 2 still used the term “county council” (translation of the old “landsting”), and 5 used the term “region”. 3 regions (Norrbotten, Värmland and Västra Götaland) use “region” in their names, but still call themselves “county councils”. Another 2 regions (Västernorrland and Örebro) also used “region”, but since they are missing the possessive apostrophe I don’t think their translations can be relied upon. No region used “regional council” except Västra Götaland which used it as a translation of “regionfullmäktige”. This translation is also used by the Government Offices of Sweden. Based on this, I think we should use “region” and “regional council” as translations of “region” and “regionfullmäktige”, respectively. The Regions of Sweden page currently redirects to a section about a proposed merger of the current counties, I think it can be replaced by this article since someone who searches for “Regions of Sweden” is probably more likely to be looking for the current regions. 0x9fff00 (talk) 12:44, 4 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

However, I'm not entirely confident that the 2016 consensus is still valid, and this may just be a case of laziness in failing to update the article, so I'm opening a new RM.

For me the only suitable options are either African U-20 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament or FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup African Qualifying Tournament, despite both might break WP:RECOGNIZABILITY.

- (Discuss) – History of the world → History of humanity – I am afraid this could be evaluated again. WP:PRECISE: in order to further distinguish from History of the world, World history and History of Earth. This discussion has been held previously at Talk:History_of_the_world/Archive_1 (2006), Talk:History_of_the_world/Archive_3 (2013). Earlier opposition to this proposal has argued that "world" was meant in a decisively anthropocentric sense (as in the recorded memory of the experience of Homo sapiens) by historians such as Walter Raleigh, and that "humanity" is a polysemy. Yet, the precise contrary could easily be argued. Using "world" in the the sense of pertaining to humanity may strike many a contemporary Wikipedia contributor as too bold in its assumption of an anthropocentric interpretation on part of the average reader. While arguments may be valid especially from a purely academic perspective, "History of humanity" could still be considered at least less bad (as in less ambiguous) and WP:LEAST astonishing than "History of the world", casually speaking. Hence it may be argued that the policy favouring traditional scholarly doctrine should perhaps after all give preference to WP:COMMONNAME in the service to the readers in this case? A possible alternative solution would be "History of humankind", but not sure that is really necessary. Please note that, as discussed priorly, a History of the world (disambiguation) would still be maintained to meet the academic term (along with the other possible meanings).

- (Discuss) – USA Track & Field Indoor Championships → ? – The article base for this competition is split between USA Track & Field Indoor Championships and USA Indoor Track and Field Championships following moves from User:Infinite mission last year and there hasn't been any significant discussion on this topic to decide what the common name is. The organising body USA Track & Field does not appear to have a standard name for the competition and has called it USATF Indoor Championships, USA Indoor Track and Field Championships and USA Indoor Track & Field Championships among other names without indicating any as a specific brand change. Therefore I would suggest we ignore official naming and look to broader sources for guidance. Quoted search engine results in order of frequency of term: *"USATF Indoor Championships" 124,000 *"USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships" 70,000 *"USATF Indoor Track & Field Championships" 39,000 *"USA Track and Field Indoor Championships" 33,000 *"US Indoor Track and Field Championships" 28,000 *"USA Indoor Track and Field Championships" 25,000 *"USA Indoor Track & Field Championships" 5000 *"USA Track & Field Indoor Championships" 4500 (current) *"US Indoor Track & field Championships" 4000 *"US Track and field Indoor Championships" 1400 There are many names in use and I'm not personally invested in any of them, but I do think the article base should share a name. Given the current name is clearly a minority term, I suggest a move to USATF Indoor Championships based on the above results. SFB 20:08, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Lusophony Games → Lusofonia Games – There was a recent move of numerous articles on the Lusophony Games to use Lusophone Games by User:Bruxism. I started to revert the move back to the long-standing Lusophony Games, but now realise this has been done across many pages and categories without any wider discussion, so I am loth to make a change that affects 100s of articles again without further discussion on the common name for the competition. Search engine results for Wikipedia's long-standing name for this competition ("Lusophony Games") [16] easily outnumber those for "Lusophone Games" [17], but the term "Lusofonia Games" actually has double the results of either [18]. The only English-speaking nation that takes part in this competition is India and looking at Indian news websites again reveals that Lusofonia Games is comfortably the preferred term (Times of India, Deccan Herald, Indian Express,The Hindu) I think this coverage should take precedence for our common name considerations, given that the majority of English-language coverage comes from India and it rarely receives coverage in the press of other English-speaking nations.

- (Discuss) – I Love Me → I Love Me (film) – Only other "I Love Me" with an article is a five-day-old song that is far too recent to be the primary topic. However, I feel it's still a far more likely primary topic than an Indian film that I can't find many reliable sources about via Google, and that peaked on Google Trends for a few months after its release in 2012 but has since dropped significantly in popularity and now mostly gains interest in Asia. The song can stay where it is for now, but I don't think the film should be at the basename. vaporgaze💬 18:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Tiridates III of Armenia → Tiridates IV of Armenia – There was seemingly a Tiridates III who ruled in 287-293 (as shown in the image section of the Iranica article [19]). Also, here is what James Russell states in his work "Zoroastrianism in Armenia, p. 170": "In his inscription at Paikuli, Narseh refers to one Trdat, king of Armenia. Since the inscription was made in 29 3-4, it cannot refer to a Tiridates who was not yet king. Toumanoff therefore suggests that Xosrov was killed by Tiridates III, his brother, the Anak of the legend, who was made king of Armenia by the Sasanians; Xosrov's son, Tiridates IV, escaped to Rome and returned to take the throne in 298." There are lot of other sources who use the regnal number IV for this "Tiridates", such as the The Oxford Handbook of Iranian History, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Zoroastrianism and so on.--HistoryofIran (talk) 01:40, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex → Meghan Markle – It is evident that Meghan Markle remains her WP:COMMONNAME. #She has a notable career in her own right as Meghan Markle. #Reliable sources have continued to widely refer to her as Meghan Markle (often she and her husband are referred to in this way:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle[20]
). #She and her husband have clearly indicated an intention to step back from being "senior" royals and also to markedly reduce their use of titles and styles for both themselves and their son. #The move to "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" was contentious in the first place and based on an assumption that reliable sources would eventually start referring to her as such; however few sources refer to her using the current title "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex". #Wallis Simpson, who married a king and not someone just 6th in line, and who had no notable career in her own right as "Wallis Simpson", is still titled Wallis Simpson and not Wallis, Duchess of Windsor. #And finally, some editors would argue that the current title of the article that treats her as an appendage to her husband, is quite anti-modern and reflects outdated values, particularly for someone with their own career and who is commonly known under her original name in reliable sources. (Note, per RM guidelines RMs are not expected to be "neutral" but to make a case for moving the article). --Tataral (talk) 18:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Moritz, Landgrave of Hesse → Moritz von Hessen – The current article title gives the impression that his title is Landgrave of Hesse. In fact, like all German nobility, the Landgravate was abolished a century ago. His surname is "Prinz und Landgraf von Hessen", just like it is for everyone in his family, but this is not a title and it shouldn't be treated as such or translated into English. It's just a last name. German Wikipedia simply calls him "Moritz von Hessen", and it makes sense to follow their lead. Smurrayinchester 10:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Donatus, Landgrave of Hesse → Heinrich Donatus von Hessen – The current title suggests that "Landgrave of Hesse" (Landgraf von Hessen) is his title. In fact, like all German "titles", "Prinz und Landgraf von Hessen" is just a surname and carries no meaning beyond that. We wouldn't put a comma in the title of, say, "Angela, Merkel" or "Bastian, Schweinsteiger", nor would we translate their surnames into English ("Bastian, of Schweinsteig"). "Heinrich Donatus von Hessen" is the title the German Wikipedia uses, and seems like the best combination of names. Smurrayinchester 09:38, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Trials of Mana → Seiken Densetsu 3 – This article about the 1995 Famicom game, not its 2019 rerelease, or its upcoming remake, so it should have never been moved to Trials of Mana. Looking at the sourcing used in this very article, they all continue to use the name Seiken Densetsu 3 when writing about the original release, the upcoming remake, and the collection that was released. This is after all how English sourcing has referred to it for over 20 years. More recent reliable sources continue referring to the game by this name, and use Trials of Mana to refer exclusively to the rerelease/upcoming remake. Examples of this include: Nintendo Life, Gematsu, Destructoid. From this, I think it is safe to say that the WP:COMMONNAME is still Seiken Densetsu 3. Alt (talk) 06:49, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

People searching with "alp" are most likely looking for the Alps article. I just did exactly that search (for "alp") and was astonished to be taken to a dab page full of obscure uses of the term. A hatnote at Alps sending the occasional searcher for one of the obscure uses back to the dab page will be quite adequate for handling those rare cases. Finally, anyone linking to alp in article text almost certainly intends the Alps connotation, so it should redirect accordingly.

#The addition of the country or other clarifying adjective can be used to further disambiguate.
This means that Channel 33 (Israel) does not follow the guideline. As it uses the country name and not the media type and not the country adjective. Instead of fighting this issue over and over, if one disagrees with how the guideline is written, they should seek consensus to change it, and not try and force WP:LOCALCONSENSUS.

The short title can redirect to this for now, but Goodreads lists 129 books with "The Hope of Glory" as an element of the title, including multiple books denoted by that name alone. The Hope of Glory is also a theological concept, so it is likely that a disambiguation page would eventually be required. This new book is just one in a long list of works with the title, some notable, others not. It is WP:TOSOON to assert that this book is so notable it deserves the primary use of the term.

In Spanish Wikipedia, it's there as a disambiguating phrase ("es:tía" means "aunt"), but French Wikipédia also calls it this, and redirects fr:tía to it. Tía already redirects to it, so per WP:CONCISE I think we should move it over. 85.238.91.68 (talk) 01:33, 6 March 2020 (UTC)

Since there are other statues of Lincoln in Washington, D.C., we must use a more specific location.

- (Discuss) – Communist rebellion in the Philippines → CPP–NPA–NDF conflict – This article should not be named "Communist rebellion in the Philippines," since that sidelines some significant movements, notably the PKP-1930, the CPLA, and the ABB-RPA. It also effectively sidelines Marxist-Leninist history in favor of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist history. This is why this insurgency is so poorly understood by the public. My proposal is that this article be renamed "CPP-NPA-NDF Rebellion," and that "Communist rebellion in the Philippines" be made a redirect to "Communism in the Philippines," which covers all the movements, from the Unión Obrera Democrática right on up to the present. CPP, NPA, and NDF should remain their own articles although they are linked, because there are key differences in the strucutre and funciton of each organization. Additionally: the WP:NPOV title for this is "conflict", not "rebellion" or "insurrecton." Unless what we want is a review of the conflict from a tactical/strategic standpoint, but that does not seem to be the intent of this article. Also, note that CPP-NPA-NDF is accepted and used Philippine Government Security Agencies such as the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, as demonstrated on their website at https://peace.gov.ph/timeline/peace-process-cpp-npa-ndf/ .

- (Discuss) – The Family Channel (American TV network) → ? – also The Family Channel (United States). These two networks/channels called "The Family Channel" are for two different networks, by two different entities that operated in the United States in different time periods. However, while I realize this is not a standard proposal, as one is an article and the other is a redirect, almost all the google search results I get when searching for "The Family Channel" are for the 1980s-1990s channel. Even when viewing the Page views one can see that the page History of Freeform (TV channel) gets much more page views. While by itself not enough, looking at how high the page views are for The Family Channel, the dab page, which even it has a higher monthly view count than this page (and the dab page doesn't even link to the history page), suggests that readers are not landing on the page they are looking for. This scenario while not standard, is causing harm that a hatnote cannot solve. Not only can readers be confused (see WP:ASTONISH), even editors are incorrectly linking articles to the wrong "The Family Channel" - Solid Gold (TV series) links here instead of to the original network, and Category:The Family Channel original programming is meant for the original network as well. All this points to me that the title "The Family Channel (American TV network)" and it's derivatives (including "The Family Channel (United States)") are ambiguous (see WP:INCDAB) and should be further disambiguated to differentiate between the two, and the title redirected to the dab page. This will allow easier finding for readers, and allow bot warnings for editors linking to the incorrect page. Regarding the proposed names, I really have no clue what the optimal names should be as Wikipedia:Naming conventions (broadcasting) does not give an example for such situations.

- (Discuss) – Catholic Diocese of Helsinki → ? – This move (and the broader, associated moves), are to deal with a small, but longstanding problem in the Catholic diocese pages. Ever since Roman Catholic Church the move has been to depreciate the naming convention from Roman Catholic to Catholic. However, most of the diocese pages remain as Roman Catholic diocese of X to reflect their identity as latin rite parishes. Thus the name has a functional, (and quite useful purpose). This has been extended to other rites, ie, Byzantine Catholic, and allows for disambiguation, ie, two dioceses that occupy the same physical area, (or city), but differ in their rites. Therefore, I propose this solution. For all Latin rite dioceses that are currently not named Roman Catholic diocese of X per the naming convention, that they will be changed back to Roman Catholic diocese of X. I am happy to do all the moves manually with the help of administrators to deal with the page histories, and with the redirects, etc. When we did this before Anthony Applewhite helped me do this. This would resolve the haphazard approach of previous requested moves that have resulted in some pages being Catholic diocese of X, while 95 percent of the 3k diocese articles are Roman Catholic diocese of X. Unlike some of the other changes which were cosmetic, the naming convention Roman Catholic conveys additional meaning that is lost from the change to Catholic diocese of X. This discussion has long been percolating over individual move discussions, so I think it's finally time to have this discussion here. Benkenobi18 (talk) 04:38, 16 February 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.
