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.

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. 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 03 August 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:
![]() | A request that this page title be changed is under discussion. Please do not move this page until the discussion is closed. |
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.

- (Discuss) – Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships → CAMS National Racing Championships – I am making this request on behalf of Sparkle1 who boldly made these moves which I reverted and who has indicated they would like to take to RM. I will of course allow Sparkle1 to make their own arguments in favour of these moves. I myself oppose these moves. There is no policy or convention dictating me must not include sponsor names. I feel that WP:COMMONNAME applies. The proposed names are quite novel in that they simply aren't used by reliable sources (or at all) except for the first few years of these championships (before 2007). The name most widely used in the past was simply "Shannons Nationals", eg Speedcafe: [1], [2] (and note this article which suggests that CAMS wasn't involved for some time prior to 2016); Autoaction: [3] (I don't believe their online news goes back far enough for articles from 2012-14). However I would prefer new titles rather than keeping the existing ones, namely moving the 2012-14 articles to 201X Shannons Nationals season, per WP:COMMONNAME, and moving the main article to Motorsport Australia Championships since although the article needs updating, the series has been renamed as of 2020 [4].

- (Discuss) – Banjo-Kazooie (series) → Banjo-Kazooie – Per series naming guidelines. The first game is not far and away the most notable, as Banjo-Tooie also sold in the millions. ZXCVBNM (TALK) 21:30, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2020 VCDL Lobby Day → 2020 Virginia Lobby Day – Virginia Lobby Day is used by many organizations and is not controlled by any one group. It is not a day specifically for gun control or its opponents. There are Lobby Day activities every year in Virginia--including 2020--for organizations as diverse as the NAACP[1], Virginia Nurses[2], and environmental groups[3]. George Bounacos (talk) 19:23, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Locked Up (TV series) → Vis a vis (TV series) – Article was moved without discussion in May 2019 from its original Spanish title to its "English-language title" by PC78, but I question whether it should have been when the article's own title card is "Vis a vis", and the four season articles are still at Vis a Vis (season 1) (shouldn't this be Vis a vis (season 1)?...), etc. As per WP:CONSISTENCY, either everything should be at "Vis a vis", or everything should be at "Locked Up"... So, should this article be moved back to its original Spanish title Vis a vis (TV series)? Or should the season articles all be moved to "Locked Up"?... Let's discuss, and come to a consensus. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 19:21, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Exogenous and endogenous variables → Endogeneity (economics) – The current title does not make it clear that this article is about the concept in economic theory, to be contrasted with Endogeneity (econometrics), which is about the related (but distinct) concept in econometrics. Changing the title to parallel the econometrics article directly, with hatnotes going both ways, will make it clearer what the article is about. Wikiacc (¶) 17:05, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Duns (disambiguation) → Duns – No primary topic for "Duns", the countable noun dun gets nearly as many views (1,115) v 1,411 for the town (with a population of only 2,710). Data Universal Numbering System gets 7,038 and even a Google search from England returns most results for it though that's just an abbreviation and it is primary for the upper case DUNS per WP:SMALLDETAILS. Duns Scotus (a PTM) also gets 4,898 views[[5]]. Images is mixed between the town and fort. Books returns only John Duns and Duns Scotus though they are both PTMs. Per WP:PLURALPT a plural form should not normally point to a completely different place to its equivalent singular. Move the town to Duns, Scottish Borders. Crouch, Swale (talk) 16:52, 2 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Biuro Szyfrów → Polish Cipher Bureau – It's the English Wikipedia, use English terms when possible. Proposed new title lets the user see what the article is about when they access it or see it in a list. An earlier informal discussion in 2006 ended in a 2-2 tie, but one editor argued that "We typically use the name of organisations in their own language: Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, B-Dienst, Bundesnachrichtendienst etc...", but two of those three articles have seen been renamed to English, so that argument doesn't appear to apply anymore. I suppose things have changed since 2006, which was a long time ago. This Google Ngram seems odd since use of either term seems to start only in 1970. I suppose nobody wrote about the organization in English til the Ultra info started to come out. Anyway, if the Ngram is accurate, it shows "Polish Cipher Bureau" usually ahead of "Biuro Szyfrów" and "Biuro Szyfrow" combined, by a bit. And that's not considering how many of the generic "Cipher Bureau" references are to the Polish Cipher Bureau -- surely some, and maybe a lot. (We could rename the article to just "Cipher Bureau" since there's no article by that name. However, that's silly; the single additional word "Polish" places the entity in much better context when encountered here or in a list, and is thus a service to the reader. Template {{EnigmaSeries}} names the link to this article this way, rather than the head-scratcher "Cipher Bureau". "Cipher Bureau (Poland)" would be OK too. Count me out of supporting any rename to just "Cipher Bureau".) Herostratus (talk) 13:36, 2 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Alex Lyon → Alex Lyon (politician) – no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Joeykai (talk) 22:13, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kateřina Kroupová-Šišková → Kateřina Sisková – I was unable to complete a move for technical reasons. Correct surname is a really "Sisková" without diacritics, look at profile on the Czech Tennis Association ([6]), and other sources in Czech language. Her daughter is tennis player Anna Sisková.
There was a move from correct name ([7]) per reason: "Diacritics on Czech Wikipedia". On Czech Wiki it was especially my mistake (e.g. Kateřina Šišková in article), when I didn't check correct diacritics. It means person "Kateřina Šišková" doesn't exist. On circuits' profiles she has name "Anna Siskova" (WTA, ITF). Kacir 21:33, 1 August 2020 (UTC) Kacir 21:42, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Magnus Eriksson (former footballer) → Magnus Eriksson (1990s footballer) – better disambiguation; "former footballer" will become ambiguous as soon as Magnus Eriksson (footballer, born 1990) is no longer active Joeykai (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Family Channel (American TV network, founded 2008) → The Family Channel (2008 American TV network) – As much as I hate the year being included in the title as the original is now clearly under a different name, if the year has to be in it, then why not shorten the title this way? JE98 (talk) 20:24, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – History of Malta under the Order of Saint John → Hospitaller Malta – The proposed name Hospitaller Malta (currently a redirect) would make more sense as a common name than the current title of History of Malta under the Order of Saint John which is rather long. The term "Hospitaller Malta" is used in books, eg. Hospitaller Malta 1530–1798, Hospitaller Malta and the Mediterranean Economy in the Sixteenth Century and it is also used in academic contexts, eg. this course title at the University of Malta. The same would apply to History of Rhodes under the Order of Saint John which can be moved to Hospitaller Rhodes, a term which is also used in literature eg. The Countryside Of Hospitaller Rhodes 1306–1423. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 18:40, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of Prime Ministers of Iran → List of prime ministers of Iran – It should be moved for the sake of consistency with similar articles, including List of presidents of Iran. Sundostund (talk) 04:54, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Campden Wonder → Campden Wonder – My move request at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests was rejected. But I still believe that word "The" should be removed per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (definite or indefinite article at beginning of name) because the word "the" is not capitalized in running text. For example, on thecampdenwonder.com, the phrase is "the Campden Wonder", not "The Campden Wonder" in running text. This Wikipedia article refers to a series of events, not a book or work. So the word "the" should not be capitalized and should not be included at the beginning of the article's title. Neo-Jay (talk) 03:11, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Alejandro Rey Lugilde → Álex Rey – WP:COMMONNAME is just "Álex Rey", doesn't use full legal name professionally. Ortizesp (talk) 00:19, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – See You When I Am Famous → See You When I Am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!! – It's possible that this may have gone through as an uncontroversial and uncontested move, but because of the unusual case with the punctuation I thought it best to have a discussion. The article's overall notability is weak, but what reliable sources exist, all list this album with the 12 exclamation marks at the end of its title. These include the Billboard chart placing [8], the review in The Post (which probably isn't acceptable, as it's a student newspaper) [9], and articles in Uproxx [10], HotNewHipHop [11] and Complex [12].

- (Discuss) – Descendants of George III and Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz → Descendants of George III – The sovereign's name is more notable than the consort. I think we should just their name like in Descendants of Queen Victoria. Interstellarity (talk) 15:31, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Li Denghui → Li Denghui (educator) – Lee Teng-hui exceeds the importance of the educator by so much that I feel like the latter is not the primary topic of "Li Denghui", even if it is the "wrong" romanization for the Taiwanese president. If you google "Li Denghui" prior to 2020 (to avoid recentism bias due to Lee's death which would skew the results even more), the majority of the results are not for the educator. I am undecided whether a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Lee Teng-hui or disambiguation is better here. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 15:09, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Who's Laughing Now? → Who's Laughing Now (Ava Max song) – Song title does not have a question mark, as per Spotify, YouTube and iTunes. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs) 14:22, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Thorax (insect anatomy) → Thorax (arthropod anatomy) – Among arthropods not only insects have thoraxes, but also crustaceans and trilobites. And their anatomy is very similar. Look also at the interwikis. The Penguin Dictionary of Biology differentiates between thorax of "terrestrial vertebrates" and thorax of arthropods. Actually Polychaeta also have thorax, but I think that their anatomy is quite different from arthropod anatomy and better to keep this article for arthropods only.

- (Discuss) – Arturo Reyes → ? – There is a respected Spanish writer from Malaga whose name is Arturo Reyes. Perhaps a disambiguation page has to be created.

- (Discuss) – List of English monarchs → List of monarchs of England after the Norman Conquest – The current title of this list is misleading and confusing. It starts with Alfred the Great and excludes earlier monarchs who were just as English - his predecessors and monarchs of other early kingdoms such as Mercia. It includes monarchs who were not English, such as Cnut and William the Conqueror. The most crucial transition of the last 1500 years was the Norman Conquest, and it also provides a logical and clear break point. The transition from Wessex to England was very important but it was gradual, from monarchs of the West Saxons, to monarchs of the Anglo-Saxons, to monarchs of England. There is no obvious break point with the current structure as the change from Wessex to England was gradual, with Alfred having been the last King of Wessex and Æthelstan the first King of England. The break point between the two lists is a matter of opinion, with no reliable sources to cite for any particular view. If the move goes through, kings from Alfred to Harold Godwinson would of course be transferred to the earlier list. Dudley Miles (talk) 09:17, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Hélène Prévost → Yvonne Prévost – Bringing this move to WP:RM because the move was contested by User:Fyunck(click). The correct name for this individual is Yvonne Prevost, but since the standard for Wikipedia is verifiability before truth, let me address that first, since the quality of the source that this change is based off of was questioned. Olympedia is not a Wiki, it is a research database maintained by Bill Mallon, a 2001 recipient of the International Olympic Committee’s Olympic Order in Silver, and about two dozen others. The database used to provide data for the now-defunct Olympics portion of Sports Reference.com, which was listed as one of TIME Magazine’s best websites of 2010. The database itself was profiled for its quality in 2009 (see: Bulletin of the International Council for Sport Science and Physical Education, No. 57, September 2009, p. 8-9. (ISSN 1728-5909) Summer of ’64 and the Olympic Database by Bill Mallon, Arild Gjerde and Jeroen Heijmans supported by the OlyMADMen (Magne Teigen, David Foster, Hilary Evans, Taavi Kalju, Morten Aarlia Torp, Jørn Jensen, Christian Tugnoli, Martin Kellner)). Google searching “Olympedia public” (without quotations) uncovers numerous reliable sources reporting on and praising the release of Olympedia to the public for its comprehensiveness and accuracy. Finally, the data at Olympedia will eventually be the official IOC data, so I believe WP:V is satisfied in this case. With verifiability out of the way, the next question is truth, since even reliable sources can be mistaken and can disagree. Many sources list her as Hélène Prévost, but it is important to keep in mind that journalists of the day often did not record the full names of athletes, even of an Olympic caliber, and particularly of women, who were often referred to as “Mrs. Husband’s Name”. If an error crept in, therefore, it was much easier to reproduce than in a contemporary setting where athlete’s full names are repeated thousands and thousands of times and mistakes are usually drowned out. French newspapers about her marriage to diplomat Auguste Boppe confirm that her name was Yvonne, not Hélène. How Hélène came to be more broadly accepted, I do not know, but the fact there was otherwise no biographical information (dates of birth and death, significant life details outside of competition results) available in sources we would consider reliable (such as the ITF) suggest strongly that we are not dealing with a situation of “was it Hélène or Yvonne who took part?”, but one where Hélène does not exist, or at least was not involved in tennis. Yvonne, on the other hand, has birth, death, and marriage certificates, as well as an obituary in Le Figaro. Now that there is a reliable source that makes this claim, and we can verify it, we should go for the more accurate claim rather than the more popular one (which can be mentioned in a footnote) when choosing between conflicting sets of information.

- (Discuss) – Maayon → Ma-ayon – Per discussion at Baliuag (Talk:Baliuag#Requested move 22 June 2020), titles do not need to necessarily follow official names. According to WP:NAME — '"Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the five criteria...." And it appears that "Ma-ayon" fulfills WP:COMMONNAME, not to mention that the law that established this municipality in the 1950s — https://thecorpusjuris.com/amp/legislative/republic-acts/ra-no-1203.php — spells it as "Ma-ayon." Among the sources: * https://halalanresults.abs-cbn.com/local/capiz/ma-ayon * https://ph.rappler.com/elections/2019/local/region/WESTERN-VISAYAS/CAPIZ/ma-ayon (it doesn't use hyphen, but it is evident that both "Ma" and "ayon" are separated) * https://www.gmanetwork.com/news/eleksyon2016/results/local/region+vi/capiz/ma-ayon/ Most sources using Maayon are recently published, probably formatting after this article's title. And it has been established, through Baliuag's page move, that laws establishing municipalities take dominance over the spelling being promoted by the municipalities themselves, especially if they have no legal backing.

- (Discuss) – Worcester (disambiguation) → Worcester – There is no clear primary topic. We have two ways we assess primary topics: * What are readers searching for: "highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term." In this case, the English city does not come close to receiving an overwhelming majority of page views, nor is it even the top viewed city at that name. Worcester, Massachusetts receives on average Worcester close to double the page views, and has been going back years (as far back as I was able with the page view tool). That is before you even include the other topics with that name, like Worcester, South Africa -- when we do that, we're looking at the subject getting something like 25 percent of page views where we usually demand 85-100. So it is clear that in terms of what readers are looking for it is not the primary topic. If page views indicate that the only potential primary is actually a different topic, there is not much of a case. *The second is longterm significance. I actually do think the English city is potentially the most notable of pages at this topic by at least a bit of a margin. It is certainly the oldest, and the namesake of the others (although we don't base primary topic decisions on those factors alone). But is that so overwhelming to justify ignoring that huge disparity between what readers clearly find the most significant and what editors do? The metrics we generally use don't support it, and a primary topic should be overwhelmingly clear. A search in Google books, which I know is a common way we look at long term notability in these discussions, brings up mixed results for different topics. The Massachusetts city has about twice as many article space articles linking to it. The Massachusetts city and the South African city both have a larger population, as another example. I don't think a primary topic necessarily has to have the highest population, although it certainly sets the bar higher if it does not(and it is tough to find examples of it). Again, we aren't trying simply to prove that the English city is the most notable, but by an overwhelmingly large margin to the point where we can assume readers in the long term would consider it more significant even though they don't right now. The English city wasn't the intended target for readers over the past 10 years, and there is no indication it would be for the next 10, or 20 or 50. There are rare cases where pages that do not get an overwhelming majority of page views can be considered the primary topic, and fewer, rarer cases where it can be when another page is actually getting a clear majority of page views (I can't think of any immediately, but they probably do exist). But in those cases the long term notability disparity must be so, overwhelmingly huge to justify that (like planet name vs. a pop song), and we'd need actual tangible proof of that beyond gut feelings. I know discussions about cities can get needlessly heated and sometimes nationalistic (the last move discussion six years ago was derailed by canvassing), so I'd just ask users to remember that disambiguation and primary topics are about helping readers, not about anyone's pride or personal views.

which adds proof that this dab page does nothing but waste the time of the 13 million people all expecting to get redirected to Donald Trump by simply typing Trump in the search box. If this were to be a redirect to Donald Trump, that would make everything easier. TheSunIsAStar147147 (talk) 00:41, 29 July 2020 (UTC)

If consensus skews towards depicting this main title header with a reduced parenthetical qualifier — Fire Creek (film) — due to the fact that the 1968 film is styled Firecreek, I would also support that, along with supporting, if preferred by consensus, addition of a qualifier — Firecreek (film) or Firecreek (1968 film) — to the 1968 film. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 05:11, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Berbers → Amazigh people – While the common name in English is "Berber," the term "Berber" is a cognate of "barbarian" and is widely considered derogatory among the Amazigh people, as attested to in these sources among others: *this article from Al Jazeera, approximately: "Berbers is a Latin name, meaning "savages" or "primitive savages." The Romans used this name for all foreigners, including the Amazigh people, in their conquest of the communities of the Mediterranean basin." :*I think this is false. The Romans called them Mauri.

- (Discuss) – John Lewis (civil rights leader) → John Lewis – There has been some disagreement in the past over where this page should be located. I suggested in the last RM proposal (February through March 2020, see above) that this John Lewis is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "John Lewis", but the RM closed, according to the admin, as a "three way tie" between the "civil rights leader" disambiguator, the "Georgia politician" disambiguator, and no disambiguator. I want to break that tie. I believe that he is the primary topic, based significantly on his role in the Civil Rights movement as one of the Big Six (activists) and especially the Selma to Montgomery marches, and his tenure in the U.S. Congress, including events like the 2016 United States House of Representatives sit-in. I believe that the news coverage around his death and funeral cements this.[25][26] The only other "John Lewis" that approaches this level of notability for the name, as the disambiguation page suggests, is John Lewis & Partners, which is already naturally disambiguated from the individuals named John Lewis. The stats show that that "John Lewis" isn't the primary topic, while this one is. Using "What Links Here", "John Lewis (civil rights leader)" has over 1,000 articles linked to it. "John Lewis (Georgia politician)", a redirect, has another 419 incoming links. "John Lewis & Partners" is linked from 208 articles. ("John Lewis and Partners" has another three.) The civil rights leader also had 10x more page views than the department store from April through June (I specifically ended the page view search before his death to exclude the expected spike in page views). I'm having trouble presenting the link due to the syntax, but check it out at https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&platform=all-access&agent=user&redirects=0&start=2020-04-01&end=2020-06-30&pages=. From April through June, this page had 225k views vs 27k for the department store. So, I propose moving this page to "John Lewis" and including the hat note at the top of this John Lewis's page that says
For the department store, see John Lewis & Partners. For all other uses, see John Lewis (disambiguation)
. The department store's page will be unaffected by this proposal, and should not stand in the way of us moving this page to "John Lewis". Anyone presently going to "John Lewis" needs to click a link to get to the department store's page as it is. – Muboshgu (talk) 18:52, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Eldorado Resorts → Caesars Entertainment (2020) – Caesars Entertainment to become a disambiguation page Next week, Eldorado Resorts will complete its acquisition of Caesars Entertainment Corporation and will change its own name to "Caesars Entertainment, Inc." This will make three companies that have been named "Caesars Entertainment" over the years. This exacerbates an already bad disambiguation situation: "Inc." vs. "Corporation" is not a good way to distinguish two companies, because very few readers will already know which is which. Both of the previous Caesars had other names that they used for a longer period of time: The first one was Park Place Entertainment for 5 years and then Caesars Entertainment for 2 years. The second one was Harrah's Entertainment for 15 years and then Caesars Entertainment for 10 years. So moving these two articles back to their old names comports nicely with WP:COMMONNAME (in the span of these companies' histories, there are presumably more sources using the name that they used for a longer time) and avoids recentism bias (there's no other reason to automatically prefer the final name used by a no-longer-extant company). I'm not as sure about where to move the Eldorado Resorts article. It doesn't seem to have a good claim to being the primary topic, though perhaps it will in 10 years (when it will be the company that has used this name the longest). But there isn't a good natural disambiguation for it, and all the choices I can think of seem clunky: "Caesars Entertainment (2020)", "Caesars Entertainment (current)", "Caesars Entertainment (former Eldorado)".

- (Discuss) – Akiyuki Shinbo → Akiyuki Simbo – There's a lot of inconsistency when it comes to Romanizing this guy's name. NIS America uses "Simbo", Sentai and Madman use "Shinbo", Aniplex uses "Shimbou", and GKIDS and Funimation use "Shinbō" (which is basically "Shinbou"). According to ANN, Akiyuki Shinbo's preferred Romanization is "Akiyuki Simbo" (pronounced the same way), and so his page on ANN has been retitled to "Akiyuki Simbo", and all new articles about him or his works since 2013 refer to him as such. Shinbo is seen a lot more often than Simbo, that is an undeniable fact, however it's as identifiable as Shinbo (due to ANN's usage and the slight difference in spelling, of course), so I don't believe there to be any quarrels regarding relevancy of name. As one of the most reliable and prominent English sources for animanga pages on Wikipedia, I believe it to be reasonable to follow suit with ANN (and NIS America)'s choice to list him as Akiyuki Simbo. ANN and licensor links: *Akiyuki Simbo at AnimeNewsNetwork *Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl at NIS America *Owarimonogatari USA (hosted by Aniplex) *Fireworks at GKIDS / Dance in the Vampire Bund at Funimation *Gourmet Girl Graffiti at Sentai Filmworks / Fireworks at Madman Entertainment Sarcataclysmal (talk) 06:16, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Suicide of Kurt Cobain → Death of Kurt Cobain – WT:NPOV It cannot be called a clear-cut suicide without adequate evidence, which in this case, it lacks it and there are numerous sources backing up the claim, a basic google search would bring up significant coverage in multiple reliable, independent sources; articles, books, and documentaries have been made concerning the subject. When there is a dead body, It's a death investigation. No proclamations without sufficient evidence including, victimology, medical-legal process, toxicology and autopsy especially for cases of prominent figures. Apart from the fact that this case has remained quite controversial throughout the years and is being referred to as an example of miscarriage of justice by some of the specialists, researchers, and experts because of the deficiency of required research and analysis on the case, it still shouldn't be titled as "suicide" on Wikipedia since the cause/manner of death is not mentioned in the titles of the WP articles. It can be referred to in the body or even lede as the outcome of the death case but not in the title. Princess Diana died in a car crash, Is the article's title "Car accident of Princess Diana"? Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest but is the title, "Heart attack of Michael Jackson"? No. Bionic (talk) 05:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

When I was 19, I made an album as a project to complete high school. I named it “ESKMO” and just kept going, not grasping or understanding the weight that it has for the First Peoples of Canada, Alaska and beyond." On IMDb, his page has been changed from Eskmo to Brendan Angelides, and the bio has been updated as well. His most recent credits (Naked Singularity & Minimum Mass) are credited as Brendan Angelides instead of "as Eskmo," further proof of this decision.[7]

There is proposal to merge Akutaq into Indian ice cream (Alaska) (currently has two supports and no opposition after six weeks; however, Akutaq is made by Yupiit and Inuit, who are not American Indian peoples, so the term Indian ice cream would be a misnomer.

It also does not appear that his historical prominence exceeds that of two-time Oscar-nominated cinematographer William H. Clothier who was frequently billed as "William Clothier", such as in the credits of 1947's For You I Die.

- (Discuss) – Heroes' Cemetery → Libingan ng mga Bayani – Previous page move in December 2011 was done swiftly, without the inputs of other Wikipedia:TAMBAYAN members. And per inputs of many Filipino Wikipedians on the talkpage it can be considered that Libingan ng mga Bayani is the most suitable name, because: *WP:PRECISE - Heroes' Cemetery is somewhat ambiguous. This Libingan ng mga Bayani is more exact and precise. *WP:COMMONNAME - the widespread usage of Libingan ng mga Bayani among Filipinos. To use @Bruce Hall:'s input in the post-move discussion, I believe that Libingan ng mga Bayani is more widely searched than Heroes' Cemetery. * Two sources presented above - from AP/Fox and The Guardian, used lowercase letters. Hence they just translated it unofficially and on the verge of neologism. I also feel that OVP and CNN Philippines sources made up the English name to just suit to their English usage. *With regards to the COMMONALITY, it doesn't mean that every people on Earth will expect to read this or edit this. This is a cemetery in the Philippines and the topic follows the Philippine format and norms. This includes the usage of the name that Filipinos typically use. That is Libingan ng mga Bayani. * This is also to be consistent with the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas. But for some reason the move attempt of Comission on the Filipino Language to Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino wasn't made successfully, despite the fact that User:Austronesier mentioned the majority of hits in Google Scholar for KWF (Scholar is far more reliable in scholarly community than ordinary Google searches).

- (Discuss) – Dart River (Otago) → Dart River / Te Awa Whakatipu – Suggesting that this be moved for a reason similar to the move of "Avon River (Canterbury)" to "Avon River / Ōtākaro" - not only is it the official name of the river as recognised by the NZGB Gazetteer,[1] and part of a growing list of dual place names which have gained regular use and recognition,[2][3][4] but the move would also serve to better disambiguate the river from other Dart Rivers worldwide. The disambiguation page has 8 examples of this, one of which is also in the South Island. Adding the dual name would better fit the official name and best practice for New Zealand place names, and make the river easily identifiable better than adding the Otago suffix.

- (Discuss) – ICloud leaks of celebrity photos → The Fappening – I understand this was slightly contentious at the time and even the redirect from The Fappening was nominated for deletion because the nominator found it a "sophomoric [name] ... which has gotten traction in some of the lower-tier tabloid media/SEO blogs ... but which more proper media isn't giving the time of day" source, but now, it seems obvious "The Fappening" is the most common way of referring to this even in established and respected media, seconded by "Celebgate" (which I think should also be bolded in the opening paragraph). "ICloud leaks of celebrity photos" is a mouthful of a Wikipedia neologism that has won zero traction in the news and in academic study. Evidence: BBC: "Meet the man behind the leak of celebrity nude photos, called the fappening" [43] "Edward Majerczyk will spend nine months in jail for what was widely known as the fappening or celebgate." [44] Fox News: "Speaking of sex, the actor weighed in on "The Fappening" — the scandal involving the release of private celebrity nude photos and he said he's actually "scared" of the whole privacy invasion." [45] WaPo: "What makes the Sony hack any different from the ‘Fappening’?" [46] The Economist: "Then, when the iCloud hacking scandal broke - the so-called "Fappening" - they published a scathing indictment of anyone who had the nerve ..." [47] Politico: "Eric Goldman, the co-director of Santa Clara University’s High Tech Law Institute, says: “If Gawker wins, I think it will further embolden online publishers that anything related to celebrities is fair game. That could be used to justify publication of unredacted photos from the Fappening [last year’s massive hack of celebrities’ nude photos], for example.”" [48] "The nightmare continues for celebrities as more photos land online in what is turning out to be the Fappening 2.0." [49] The New Yorker: "It also found a name—the Fappening." [50] TIME Magazine: "Celebgate' Hacker Gets 18-Month Sentence for Hacking Celebrity Nude Photos" "What followed became known as Celebgate or “The Fappening,” in which private photographs from celebrities, including actress Jennifer Lawrence and model Kate Upton, were leaked online in September 2014." [51] Furthermore, on Google Scholar, a search for "the fappening" generates 725 results, among them the following mentions, some in the titles of the papers: "#Gamergate and The Fappening: How Reddit’s algorithm, governance, and culture support toxic technocultures" [52] "Analyzing Virtual Manhood: Qualitative Analysis of Fappening-Related Twitter Data" [53] "This article engages with media responses to the 2015 Ashley Madison hack (which largely exposed the sexual details of adult heterosexual men) and the 2014 ‘Fappening’ hack (which exposed private sexual images of adult female celebrities)." [54] "In their study of Twitter response to The Fappening, the widely publicized 2014 nude photo hacking of hundreds of largely white, able‐bodied, heterosexual, cisgender, celebrity women, they found four distinct means by which online actors signaled masculine personas ..." [55] "Celebgate: Two Methodological Approaches to the 2014 Celebrity Photo Hacks" " Internet users and media respondents have termed the phenomenon “Celebgate” or, more popularly and vulgarly, “The Fappening” (a portmanteau between ‘happening’ and ‘fap’—slang for masturbation). " [56] On Google Books, I find a mention in the The Routledge Companion to Media, Sex and Sexuality: "In late August 2014, some of these issues allied to pornography, selfrepresentation and celebrity were captured in an event that was widely referred to as the 'Fappening', when online hackers of Apple's iCloud leaked sexually explicit images ..." Google ngrams: [57] I think "The Fappening" with ease meets all the criteria outlined in WP:CRITERIA and it's obviously the most WP:COMMONNAME for the hack/leak. Also for people objecting to the crudeness of the moniker, remember that this is irrelevant per WP:NOTCENSORED: "Attempting to ensure that articles and images will be acceptable to all readers, or will adhere to general social or religious norms, is incompatible with the purposes of an encyclopedia" 112.69.229.205 (talk) 03:15, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – European Shooting Championships → ISSF European Shooting Championships – I request that the article name is changed back to its original name from June 2020, since that clearly indicated the sanctioning organization and ruleset of the championships. The current naming is confusing, as there are numerous other shooting organizations than the ISSF and ESC which also hold their own separate European Shooting Championships. In addition to ISSF, you also have for example FITASC, ICFRA, IDPA, IMSSU, IMSC / CISM, IPC, IPSC, WA1500, WBSF, etc. (see list of shooting sports organizations for even more shooting organizations). An article simply named European Shooting Championships should therefore naturally be a disambiguation page. A better alternative would be to go back to the clear previous naming.

- (Discuss) – Mauro Cichero → Mauro Cichero (footballer) – This footballer has a son with the same name: Mauro Cichero (soccer). Requesting move due to the same name. The father's page was a one sentence stub before I improved it, so I don't really think either is WP:PRIMARYNAME. Originally when I created the page for the son, I thought he was American-born, hence why I named the page with the soccer tag instead of footballer. The son was born in Venezuela, but moved to the US at age 4 and played college soccer and now professionally in the USA. Soccerway also lists his nationality as American with a birth nation of Venezuela. It could perhaps be changed to footballer or remain as soccer - I'm not sure which is more appropriate. So I propose two options: Option 1: Rename father's article to Mauro Cichero (footballer) and leave son's page as is at Mauro Cichero (soccer). Option 2: Rename father's article to Mauro Cichero (footballer, born 1951) and rename son's page to Mauro Cichero (footballer, born 1995) RedPatchBoy (talk) 02:15, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 70th Anniversary Grand Prix → 2020 70th Anniversary Grand Prix – There is a uniform name schema for individual World Championship race articles: "YEAR NAME Grand Prix". As was already agreed above, the "NAME" in this case is "70th Anniversary", as it indeed serves as a single semantic entity and can't be broken into "70th" and "Anniversary" without changing its meaning. So unlike some claims made in various recent discussions, the "70th" part can't serve as a substitute for the year (or indeed for the ordinal number of the particular race in a series, as in e.g. "2º Gran Premio di San Marino", which it is not in this case) even if it sort of uniquely identifies the season. I say "sort of" because even the year/season could be arrived at by different means as either 2019 (70th running of the World Championship) or 2020 (70th anniversary of the first WC race, as indeed intended by the FIA here). There is no reason to deviate from this standard race article naming schema – as we use it on Wikipedia even for true one-off races (like Styrian or Tuscan this year). And additionally, even the official name of this 70th Anniversary Grand Prix doesn't omit the year ("Emirates Formula 1 70th Anniversary Grand Prix 2020"). So to summarize, there are three good reasons to stick to the standard naming convention: to maintain uniformity among the related article names; to avoid any confusion as to the year/season where any confusion could be easily avoided in the first place by explicitly stating the year; and to take into account that even the official name includes the year of the running. cherkash (talk) 08:16, 19 July 2020 (UTC)

The principle that "China" is someone going to be confused with these other regions or be confusing enough that China is not the primary topic, directly contradicts established convention. This article is the primary topic for the article namespace COVID-19 pandemic in China. This move would also mean that a hatnote would be established to COVID-19 pandemic in China (disambiguation), as per the RM for the current COVID-19 pandemic in China page.

- (Discuss) – List of local Ugandan television stations → ? – I have no familiarity with television in Uganda whatsoever, but the title of this should either be List of television networks in Uganda or List of television stations in Uganda. It would be very helpful to know how many of the listed articles are national versus local services. Raymie (t • c) 06:07, 2 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. (t · c) buidhe 08:31, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – History of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan → History of Pakistan (1947–present) – The title is less confusing and gives clarity on which period it refers to. Interstellarity (talk) 00:19, 10 July 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of Donald mountains in Scotland → List of Donald Hills and Tops – The accompanying category came up in the CfD at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2020_June_22#Category:Donalds, with concerns that its name does not match this article. However, the names of these articles are self-redundant, since the Donalds, etc. are all Scottish by definition. The other lists of Scottish mountains and hills are also self-redundant. The proposals advanced here align with those for the categories of English mountains and hills, except that all the pages require disambiguators to clarify that they're mountains and not people. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Template:Cfdnotice → ? – Now that Template:Cfd-notify has been renamed Template:Cfd notice per the result of Template talk:Afd notice#Requested move 21 April 2020, the fact that these templates have such similar names (same name but without a space) can be seen as confusing/problematic. However, I'm not sure what to rename these templates given their purpose, which is to tag the articles that would normally be used in the respective {{Cat main}} template on each category (usually, the article is eponymous with the category.) Either way, after these templates are renamed, their leftover redirects should be retargeted to Template:Cfd notice for conformity (once their incoming links in documentation pages and instruction pages have been corrected, of course.)
