Wikipedia:Requested moves
This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice will be automatically removed by RMCD bot (talk) 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; for example, 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 and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be 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, be bold and 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 to article space – Unconfirmed users: add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, 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 previous 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 a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. 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.
If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."
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.

If there is no established English spelling, then Revised Romanization should be used for South Korean names and McCune–Reischauer for North Korean and pre-1945 Korean names.
. This is a pre-1945 Korean name, and the current place exists in North Korea so it's unlikely the common name would be the South Korean Revised Romanization of Korean system. NK uses a modified version of McCune Reischauer, and I'm suggesting the McCune Reischauer spelling. toobigtokale (talk) 08:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC) - Airtel Bangladesh → Airtel (Bangladesh) (currently a redirect back to Airtel Bangladesh) (move · discuss) – In 2016, Airtel Bangladesh Ltd. was merged into Robi Axiata Ltd. Airtel is currently a licensed brand of Robi Axiata Ltd. So, this page should use the requested title. ~ Farhan Snigdho (message) 03:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- Computer Peripherals → Computer peripherals (currently a redirect instead to Peripheral) (move · discuss) – This was the redirect page created when I moved its article to Computer Peripherals (company). I edited incoming links to point to the moved article, then changed it into a disambiguation page. Sentence case is now more appropriate for the title. Musiconeologist (talk) 23:19, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
- This doesn't seem right. Peripheral must be the primary meaning of the sentence case computer peripheral, so that should remain a redirect. Probably the capitalised version is OK as a disambiguation page, similar to Red Meat vs Red meat — Amakuru (talk) 00:54, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I wasn't aware the sentence-case page even existed until I posted my request.Musiconeologist (talk) 02:31, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have reverted your move of the company article. The disambiguation page is now at Computer Peripherals (disambiguation). GTrang (talk) 16:41, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've checked and they both come up in a lowercase search for computer peripherals, which was my main concern in the first place. Originally, that simply jumped directly to the company article.Musiconeologist (talk) 17:47, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- This reversion doesn't make sense to me. The normal peripherals concept is overwhelming primary topic of the two pages by page views, in any capitalisation, over what is a relatively obscure company.[1] Having Computer Peripherals be the company is not correct. This is exactly akin to Red Meat / Red meat. @Musiconeologist and GTrang: It should either redirect to Peripheral or have the disambiguation page, which is how it was following your move. — Amakuru (talk) 07:47, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Coming in to (untangle the move history and then) endorse the current status which is:
- Computer Peripherals - the company and the page location
- Computer Peripherals (company) - a redirect to the company page with unnecessary DAB
- Computer Peripherals (disambiguation) - a disambiguation page with a main article and one blue link.
- Computer peripherals - a redirect to Peripheral
- Peripheral (disambiguation) - a redirect to Periphery, a disambiguation page.

- The Wheel at ICON Park → The Orlando Eye by Merlin Entertainment (move · discuss) – Corporate name change of attraction as of March 25, 2024 (https://www.merlinentertainments.biz/our-brands/gateway-attractions/) S25843 (talk) 13:37, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Rename to Orlando Eye: The common name is unlikely to include "by Merlin Entertainment". Dropping "The" also seems desirable, as the original article title was Orlando Eye and the attraction is similarly named as with the London Eye owned by the same company, which was also the attraction's original owner. Also, I believe the official long name uses "Entertainments", not "Entertainment". See Merlin Entertainments. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
- She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain → She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain (currently a redirect back to She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain) (move · discuss) – The apostrophe preceding the word "round" is not needed. Zacwill (talk) 22:08, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- Only one source cited in the article has the song name in its title, and it uses "Around". The apostrophe seems needed to indicate the omission of the "A" at the beginning of that word. The Carl Sandburg source uses "Comin' Round", which also has an apostrophe, although in a different place. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:26, 26 March 2024 (UTC)

- That's not an adequate identification of the topic. It completely removes the basic identification of the subject. Lots of documents contain numbered articles. For example, Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is about the right to free choice of employment and participation in labor unions. Article 23 of the Constitution of India is a prohibition of trafficking in human beings. Article 23 of the Constitution of Kenya gives courts the right to enforce the Kenyan Bill of Rights. Article 23 of the Constitution of Pakistan is about the right of citizens to own property. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:27, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- "Psynapse was originally known as EmmaSofia but recently changed its name" (Blossom Analysis). Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
- There aren't a huge number of independent sources about this organisation, and those that I can see seem to be mostly news articles written at the time it was set up in 2015. For example [2][3][4]. The sources in the article generally don't mention it as well. As such, I'm not convinced it even meets WP:GNG, and even if it does, the WP:NAMECHANGES bar isn't met, as no secondary sources use the new name. As a final point, the name Psynapse currently points to a Marvel character, and I think that might be at least as much of a contender for primary topic as the organisation. — Amakuru (talk) 07:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Administrator needed
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, click on the "New section" (or "Add topic") tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|New name|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. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
Replace New name
with the requested new name of the page (or with a simple question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 26 March 2024" 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 affected page:
A request that this page title be changed is under discussion. Please do not move this page until the discussion is closed. |
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)}}
The |1=
unnamed parameter is not used. 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 pages, 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
| current1 = Current title of page 1
| 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. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.
}}
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia
and Wiki
, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia
with current1
set to Wikipedia
and current2
set to Wiki
. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article where the template is placed (Talk:Wikipedia
). Do not sign the request with ~~~~
, since the template does this automatically (so if you sign it yourself there will be two copies of your signature at the end of the request). Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of all pages that are included in your request except the one hosting the discussion, to call attention to the move discussion that is in progress and to suggest that all discussion for all of the pages included in the request should take place at that one hosting location.
For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is itself proposed to be moved, it is not necessary to include the |current1=Current title of page 1
for the page hosting the discussion, as its current title can be inferred automatically. Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace, in which case it is necessary to include |current1=
to indicate the first article to be moved.
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. Such requests may be completed as a request to decide the best new title by discussion.
- Cricket → ?
If a disambiguation page is in the way of a move, the request may be completed as proposing to add (disambiguation).

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 should be done using {{subst:RM relist}}
, 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 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}}. 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.

- (Discuss) – Not Otherwise Specified → Not otherwise specified – This is a medical classification buzzword, not a proper name; not even a noun phrase. Dicklyon (talk) 23:42, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of circles in Washington, D.C. → List of traffic circles in Washington, D.C. – For clarity GnocchiFan (talk) 21:41, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Reunification Highway → Pyongyang–Kaesong Motorway – Highway Name is no longer "Reunification Highway" in Korea. Fundamental shift in policy towards the South from the North "makes reunification impossible" (from the DPRK Perspective) and subsequently assumes references to reunification will be nullified. EVaDiSh (talk) 21:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Sexual intercourse → sex (penetration) – Sex is the most common name for what this article is about. Nobody refers to it as sexual intercourse. That is overly long. Fish567 (talk) 20:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Jan van Veen (footballer) → Jan de Vries (footballer) – From what I see, wrong name?!82.174.61.58 (talk) 19:44, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Taksim Gezi Park → Gezi Park – "Gezi Park" alone is a lot more common than "Taksim Gezi Park", which prepends the neighborhood it is located next to, unnecessarily lengthening the title. Also compare [5] and [6]. Aintabli (talk) 18:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – ICON Park → Icon Park – WP:TITLETM / MOS:ALLCAPS / MOS:TM. As far as I can tell, "ICON" is just all-caps promotional styling for the word "icon". The two cited Attractions Magazine sources use "Icon" rather than "ICON". So do this Orlando Weekly article, this AOL UK article, this Florida Politics article, etc.. The "about us" information on the amusement park's website just says the amusement park is "iconic", giving no explanation of the term as an abbreviation. Even if some unabbreviated form exists somewhere, it is not frequently provided and not all-capped consistently in independent reliable sources. Some sources do use the all-caps, but it is a mixture, and Wikipedia style is to avoid all-caps in such situations. — BarrelProof (talk) 18:23, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Véra Nabokova → Véra Nabokov – According to Stacy Schiff's biography Véra, Véra signed her name "Véra Nabokov", "V. Nabokov", or "Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov":
The spelling "Nabokov" dominates in reliable English-language sources. Ngrams are very clear. Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 18:03, 25 March 2024 (UTC)In the early 1950s those letters to which Véra did lend her signature as well as her voice went out from "Véra Nabokov" or from a more neutral "V. Nabokov." As Véra Nabokov she might write, for example, to ask if a publisher might consider adding a reprint edition of Bend Sinister to its list [...] By 1956, when she had begun a testy exchange with Maurice Girodias about perceived violations of the Lolita contract, she settled on a signature that seemed to correspond to her identity, or nonidentity. From these years, and just in time, emerged "Mrs. Vladimir Nabokov," who in her formal Old World script would sign "Véra Nabokov" above her married name, which she typed, in parentheses, as if to mute the potency of the alias.
— Stacy Schiff, Véra (1999)
- (Discuss) – List of Korean films of 1919–1948 → List of films produced in Korea under Japanese rule – I don't agree with the 1948 cutoff as a threshold. See Cinema of Korea; I think if anything 1945 would make more sense as a dividing line. The Korean Wikipedia and Japanese Wikipedia agrees with me (;; both mean "[List of] films produced in Korea under Japanese rule"). My guess the original rationale for the 1948 line is that North Korea/South Korea were only officially established in 1948. But they de facto existed from 1945 to 1948, and commonly went by those names. I don't think their official establishment is such an important distinction for us to use such an arbitrary dividing line. 1947 and 1949 in North/South Korea were very similar. 1944 and 1946 were extremely different. Furthermore, I'd argue North and South Korean cinema were divided even just months after the 1945 division; North Korea's first film was the 1946 newsreel Our Construction, and thereafter its major films were basically all government-produced or approved. South Korean cinema was still largely produced by private citizens. If this move happens, I can do the rescope. I'll fit it into the formats of Lists of South Korean films and List of North Korean films. Just tag me once it's done. toobigtokale (talk) 20:28, 11 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 13:54, 18 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 15:43, 25 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Al Difa → Al-Difa' – ' is essential because this would change the meaning of the word from الدفاع The Defense => to الضفة The Bank [of a river]. A quick google search shows this is more prevalently used: [12]. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:32, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Thug Life (band) → Thug Life (hip hop group) – For consistency with other entries in Category:American hip hop groups, although some have the "band" parenthesis. Perhaps because some of their members play instruments, unlike Thug Life where all are vocalists. Or would Thug Life (group) do, like some entries in Category:Hip hop groups from California? Kailash29792 (talk) 13:25, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Automatic Train Protection (United Kingdom) → Automatic train protection (UK) – At WP:NCCAPS '[d]o not capitalize the second or subsequent words in an article title, unless the title is a proper name'. (Origin quote is in bold because putting this quote in bold is not a great idea). Plus UK is commonly used as a disambiguator as can be seen at WP:DAB.

- (Discuss) – Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines → Wikipedia:Guidelines and policies – The reason for this controversial move request is so that the topics are listed in alphabetical order, per WP:AND, and because I think the words 'guidelines' and 'policies' sound clearer and make more sense in that order. PK2 (talk) 09:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Western lifestyle → Cowboy culture – "Western lifestyle" could easily be mistaken for lifestyles of the Western world. As Wikipedia is a global encyclopedia, I think the proposed change is best. GnocchiFan (talk) 07:56, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Royal Enfield → Royal Enfield (defunct) – As the former is defunct since 1971, and the latter is still functional and selling products (perhaps in international market). This move will help readers not get confused. Thanks, Please feel free to ping/mention -- User4edits (T) 06:57, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Jetstar Asia Airways → Jetstar Asia – Need to be consistent with Jetstar and Jetstar Japan. The fleet also doesn't have the "Airways" painted on the aircraft, similar to the two related airlines linked before. The "Airways" is only included when referring to the full name of the airline. 103.37.49.211 (talk) 06:53, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Reification (linguistics) → Reification_(information retrieval) or Reification_(natural language processing) – Given the mentions of tooling and synonym discovery I think the content of this page was already more in the realm of natural language processing than linguistics. Consider merging the bottom part with semantic parsing. Sean Lewis Bethard (talk) 05:31, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2021–2023 inflation → Inflation following the COVID-19 pandemic – "2021–2023" is no longer accurate. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 02:52, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – John Kennedy (disambiguation) → John Kennedy – Since the election and rise in prominence of U.S. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana -- who is known nationally as "John Kennedy" without any clarifying middle initial -- I argue that the title "John Kennedy" is a case of WP:NOPRIMARY. Consider the following evidence: *40% of outgoing traffic from this page goes to Sen. Kennedy of Louisiana's page -- and this is from when he was the 27th John Kennedy mentioned on the page, before I moved him above the fold. Only 20% goes to JFK, and 10% goes to JFK Jr. (who was in the middle of the other section before I moved him above the fold as well).[13] *When you google "John Kennedy," the first search result, most of the first page results, and the infobox refer to Sen. Kennedy of Louisiana. [14] WP:PRIMARYTOPIC tells us we should principally consider usage and long-term significance. Kennedy of Louisiana wins the former, JFK wins the latter. This conflict makes a compelling argument that there is no primary topic. For those who have never heard of Kennedy of Louisiana, don't like him, or think he isn't important, please refer to WP:BUTIKNOWABOUTIT -- Kennedy of Louisiana gets more than double the outgoing traffic from this page than JFK! Another thing I'll note: part of the reason why "John Kennedy" is so ambiguous is because the 35th President's common name is John F. Kennedy; almost everyone calls him this, JFK, or Kennedy, but rarely John Kennedy. The omission of the middle initial is therefore perhaps more indicative that maybe the person searching this term isn't looking for the 35th president than in an alternate scenario where the president also went primarily by "John Kennedy".

- (Discuss) – Rugrats → Rugrats (1991 TV series) – There is a 2021 TV series called "Rugrats" (which already has a page), so the new primary topic appears to be the franchise and not the 1991 TV show 134.199.113.124 (talk) 22:42, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kang Pan Suk → Kang Pan-sŏk – Undoing several undiscussed moves. Original title was Kang Pan-sŏk (my preferred target). The page was first moved to remove the diacritic ("Kang Pan-sok"), then moved to "Kang Pan Suk". The diacritic I prefer because of WP:TSC, see the sentence beginning with "Sometimes the most appropriate..." The hyphen I am asking to revert to (I don't necessarily prefer it) because of these discussions: Talk:Kim Ju-ae#Requested move 26 February 2024 , User talk:GreatLeader1945#NK romanization standards?, and Talk:Ko Yong-hui#Undiscussed move. toobigtokale (talk) 20:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Security breach notification laws → Data breach notification laws – More common per Google Scholar results (see below) and consistent with the main article, data breach. This article already defines its scope as restricted to data breaches. Buidhe paid (talk) 20:33, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – New York (state) → New York – Failed RM weeks ago at Talk:New York. I am reinitiating the discussion again as it is not an ambiguous term. Ok with Georgia (state) as there is a country with the same name, but except Washington (state), all U.S. states are just referred to as just <state name> with no disambiguators. If opposing, links to verify the ambiguity with New York City can be provided. Just initiating the discussion which was previously withdrawn. It is also to note that typing "New York" ings the city as the top results so what is the point then. Toadette (Let's discuss together!) 20:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Starwood → Starwood Hotels and Resorts – I would not consider this page the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, as the brand has merged into Marriott International and not existed for nearly eight years.

- (Discuss) – Abdur Razzaq (Awami League politician) → Abdur Razzaq (politician, born 1942) – The previous move request failed to clear the incomplete disambiguation issues that seem to inevitably plague Arabic name articles, as Abdur Razzaq (Faridpur politician) is also from the Awami League. The barrister article was boldly moved back claiming "The person in question is no longer affiliated with Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami", which may or may not be true but in any case (barrister) is incomplete disambiguation since "barrister" just means lawyer Abdur Razzaq (Awami League politician) among others were also lawyers. "Jamaat-e-Islami" may still be correct but it's probably best to respect the principle behind that move and disambiguate the second politician by year of birth to match the first one. Finally, the primary topic status of the artist Abdur Razzaque relative to the many other people with this name is dubious. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:32, 24 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 2018–2019 Gaza border protests → Great March of Return – In this requested move discussion, I am adding even more RS to the overwhelming majority that have already been provided in the last one on 12 October 2023. Per WP:POVNAME guideline:
“ | When the subject of an article is referred to mainly by a single common name, as evidenced through usage in a significant majority of English-language sources, Wikipedia generally follows the sources and uses that name as its article title (subject to the other naming criteria). Sometimes that common name includes non-neutral words that Wikipedia normally avoids (e.g. Alexander the Great, or the Teapot Dome scandal). In such cases, the prevalence of the name, or the fact that a given description has effectively become a proper name (and that proper name has become the common name), generally overrides concern that Wikipedia might appear as endorsing one side of an issue. An article title with non-neutral terms cannot simply be a name commonly used in the past; it must be the common name in current use. | ” |
Googling "Gaza border protest" gives off 6,360 results, while googling the "Great March of Return" gives a whooping 206,000 results, including overwhelming majority of RS! Sources provided earlier: The Guardian, BBC, Middle East Eye, Al Jazeera, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Medecins Sans Frontiers, a human rights journal, United Nations, and many scholarly works [19], [20]. New sources since then: Vice, The Lancet , The Nation, Foreign Affairs, Sage Journals, Middle East Eye, Reporters Without Borders, Carnegie, Democracy Now, Btselem, Dawn media. Precedent: Only a minority of these RS say Great March of Return in quotes; my response to that counter argument is The Troubles example: they are still being referred to in quotes even 25 years later by reliable sources such as Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, Reuters and Washington Post.

. Currently, Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929–1945 is a redirect to the somewhat awkward disambiguation Freedom from Fear (Kennedy book).

- (Discuss) – Where is Kate? → 2023–24 public absence of Catherine, Princess of Wales – or ALT1 2023–24 health and public absence of Catherine, Princess of Wales. Continued dissatisfaction has been expressed about the title of the article, and I believe it is already generally agreed that the title should be changed, so let's do that. Speculation and conspiracy theories and controversy have been part of what has happened during her absence from public appearances, but I do not see a reason to discuss them in the article's title. Those things are basically a result of her notable extended absence from public appearances and the inadequate explanation offered during that period of time rather than being a separate subject, and Wikipedia discourages article titles focused on controversy rather than substance. I suggest including the timeframe since everyone is absent from the public once in a while, whereas this article is about a specific period of absence.

The osoo.kg, the most comprehensive database of companies and institutions in Kyrgyzstan, indeed lists only one school with this name.

- (Discuss) – Snowy Mountains Airport → Cooma–Snowy Mountains Airport – Page was moved to this namespace by an autoconfirmed user in good faith per WP:BOLD under the rationale of WP:COMMONNAME. I disagree with this move and would like to seek WP:EDITCON for reasons stated below: *Under private ownership, this airport has been branded as "Snowy Mountains Airport", However, most sources actually cited as references in the article, both current and historic, refer to either Cooma Airport, or Cooma - Snowy Mountains Airport. Of the 14 sources currently referenced, only 2 refer to the airport exclusively as "Snowy Mountains Airport" and these are self-published by the airport operator, suggesting a rebranding for promotional reasons which may raise issues with WP:PROMO. *Although Google does return more hits for the specific search term "Snowy Mountains Airport" than either of the above, I note many of these results still preface this with "Cooma" when viewing where the term actually appears in the text, including 3 of the top 10 matches. *The Qantas booking system was using "Cooma" as the destination as of last season (although marketed as flights to the Snowy Mountains). *As a pilot who has operated to this airport, all radio calls, flight planning documents and associated navigation are referred to as "Cooma". *Disambiguation - Originally, the public airport was referred to as Cooma Airport, the Snowy Mountains was added to differentiate it from the private Cooma–Polo Flat Airport, which was historically the base for the Snowy Mountains Authority's aviation ops to a network of airstrips throughout the Snowy Mountains. Although historic, there was a period of time where Polo Flat was colloquially known as the Snowy Mountains Scheme Airport (or just "Snowy Airport" or other iterations) while the public airfield was just "Cooma" airport. Discarding booking engine type search results and considering those with actual content that is of encyclopedic interest, it is possible that many search results for "Snowy Mountains Airport" may be referring to Polo Flat or other SMA airstrips. - This is certainly the case when using search engines such as Trove. Although the change to the name was only minor, I believe that it is detrimental to the article, however it would be appropriate to add a "nativename" field or such in the infobox, or provide this clarification in the lede.

- (Discuss) – Polish–Ukrainian ethnic conflict → Polish–Ukrainian relations (1939–1947) – The article's author was unable to demonstrate the source basis for the existence of a Polish-Ukrainian ethnic conflict in 1942-47; the very fact that he places the Polish anti-communist and pro-independence Freedom and Independence Association on the Ukrainian side demonstrates his poor grasp of the subject, but also, and above all, the inability to narrate the entire history solely through the optics of "ethnic conflict." For indeed, this is a misleading take. First, because it is difficult to define the actors. The Polish side is not homogeneous: there are many organizations, and the three main currents (the Home Army, the Nationalists and the Communists) had different attitudes toward the Ukrainian cause and did not pursue a uniform policy. Likewise, on the Ukrainian side, there is the OUN-M, OUN-B (and UPA), UCK collaborators, Bulbovets, Ukrainian Soviet partisans, Ukrainian SSR authorities, etc. Second, despite generally hostile relations, there were also periods of peace, attempts at agreement, and actual alliances. There is an entire book by Grzegorz Motyka and Rafał Wnuk on this subject: "Pany and rezuny. Cooperation of the AK-WiN and the UPA 1945-1947". Many Ukrainians served in the Polish army in 1939 and in the Polish armed forces in the west. Pavlo Shandruk cooperated with the Polish government in exile etc. These are things largely not currently described on Wikipedia. In the current situation, I see two choices: # due to the fact that the article is a translation from the Polish Wiki of the article under the title " Polish-Ukrainian partisan fighting", we can move it under this title and change the scope to describe the skirmishes between the two partisan movement. # or, as I suggest, move it under the title I proposed and describe the whole of Polish-Ukrainian relations during the war. I believe that such an article would be valuable and would be a " container" tying together all the topics currently described in isolation (the massacres of Poles in Volhynia, the Hrubieszów revolution, the WiN-UPA alliance, etc.).

- (Discuss) – Misr Stadium → New Administrative Capital Stadium – For this article, I think it's a case of WP:OFFICIAL vs WP:COMMONNAME. First, to clarify some info:
* In Arabic, the stadium's official name is (ستاد مصر الدولي بالعاصمة الإدارية الجديدة), which translates to Misr International Stadium in the New Administrative Capital. * The short official name is (ستاد مصر), and translates to Misr Stadium or Stadium of Egypt in English. * The common name used is (ستاد العاصمة الإدارية الجديدة), which translates to the New Administrative Capital Stadium. By googling all three suitable names (Misr Stadium, Stadium of Egypt, and New Administrative Capital Stadium), we will get 278,000 vs 71,800,000 vs 30,900,000 results, respectively, with the second one generally showing results for all stadiums in Egypt and other results not related to the stadium itself; making the latter option the most suitable title for this article. Note that this was the original title of the article, but another user moved it to Misr Stadium, and I didn't want to revert that move without reaching consensus here first. Regarding the second request, it's for a simple removal of quotation marks from the title. I tried doing it myslef, but I wasn't allowed to. This one might qualify to WP:RM#SPEEDY.

- (Discuss) – Natalia Kusendova → Natalia Kusendova-Bashta – Procedural nomination, as article subject married in 2022. This isn't a clearcut slamdunk, however; she appears to not have immediately started using her hyphenated married name right away, as a government media release from 2023 still refers to her as just Kusendova, but another one from just a few days ago does say Kusendova-Bashta. She's also had virtually no media coverage of note since the 2022 Ontario general election, when she was still just Kusendova — but her own website gives her name as Kusendova-Bashta in text even though its url is still just Kusendova; her profile on the Legislative Assembly site is now at Kusendova-Bashta; and if we go by her own social networking presence, she's hyphenated Kusendova-Bashta on Xitter and LinkedIn, and Kusendova Bashta without a hyphen on Instagram, but still just Kusendova on Facebook. So this would require some discussion because the signals are still a bit mixed, and can't really just be moved immediately without discussion. Bearcat (talk) 18:01, 22 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Syncopy Inc. → Syncopy – For some reason, Syncopy redirects to Syncope (medicine). The former spelling is not mentioned anywhere on the article, and I could find no evidence online that syncopy is anything but a misspelling of syncope. Possibly, the redirect was created as the phonetic spelling of the medical term, since Syncopy Inc. was not created until two years later. As no other article titled "syncopy" currently exists, and syncopy appears to be an uncommon misspelling of syncope, the production company should not need to be disambiguated.

The 1951 film's listing upon the Murder, Inc. (disambiguation) page currently displays as "Murder, Inc.

"Tacky's Revolt" is the standard name for the violent events that began with the attack on Fort Haldane and ended months later with the defeat of Wager and others on the far side of the island.
[28] I considered "Tacky's Rebellion", as it very slightly beats "Tacky's Revolt" in Ngrams, but there are more results from Google Scholar for "Tacky's Revolt": 190 for "Tacky's Revolt", 107 for "Tacky's Rebellion", and just 24 for "Tacky's War".

- (Discuss) – Fremantle Football Club → Fremantle Dockers – Discussing titles for the new Tasmanian team has me thinking about how our AFL clubs' articles are named – in my view, they're not up to scratch with modern titling policy. For context, of the 18 AFL clubs, Gold Coast Suns, Greater Western Sydney Giants, Sydney Swans, West Coast Eagles and Western Bulldogs currently use the "[location] [mascot]" combo, with the other 13 currently at "[location] Football Club". In my view, we should be using the "[location] [mascot]" combination more often, if not in all cases, because it is more concise, recognisable and is used more often by our sources. Past justifications for using "[location] Football Club" have tended to rest on the idea that articles should use whatever the club's official name is, which is not necessarily true. Aside from this general rationale, some points specific to Fremantle: *Clubs that have acquired their current name after the 1980s – Sydney (relocated 1982), West Coast (entered 1987), Western Bulldogs (rebranded 1996), Gold Coast (entered 2011) and GWS (entered 2012) – all use "[location] [mascot]". The exception is Adelaide (entered 1991, title is "Adelaide Football Club") but their article also probably needs to be moved. Because Fremantle entered in 1995, using "[location] [mascot]" is especially consistent with the more recent clubs tending to use this format. *Many third-party sources use "Fremantle Dockers": PerthNow, Fox, The West, ZeroHanger, Nine, Seven, The Roar Sydney Morning Herald, ABC. I'm not exactly going to say "Fremantle Dockers" is the WP:COMMONNAME, because the actual COMMONNAME is probably just "Fremantle" or "the Dockers", but those names aren't suitable options. *Fremantle consistently use "Dockers" over "Football Club" in their own branding. It's on their logo, their social media accounts, their official app and so on. *"Dockers" is consistent across time. During their time in the AFL, Fremantle have never been known by a name other than the Dockers. *"Dockers" is consistent across teams. There's no reserves or AFLW team using a different name. And some other notes: *This move request is intended as a warm-up to gauge community sentiment and avoid changing too much at once, not to suggest Fremantle is the only club that needs their article moved. *If this move request succeeds, associated articles with "Fremantle Football Club" in their title (e.g. List of Fremantle Football Club players) should be moved to the equivalent title with "Fremantle Dockers". – Teratix ₵ 08:41, 12 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 14:24, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Donkey Kong (arcade game) → Donkey Kong (1981 video game) – WP:NCVGDAB states disambiguation of video games by year should be done first before disambiguation by platform. There are only two official video games that bear "Donkey Kong", this game and Donkey Kong (1994 video game), and that game's article is already done that way. It should be noted that while Donkey Kong (1981) first came out on arcades, it was not the only platform, nor is it the most known version. There were at least 11 different ports at the time (Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision, NES, Commodore 64, Apple II, IBM PC, TI-99/4A, Atari 8-bit computers, Amstrad CPC, Atari 7800). The NES version is worth mentioning, as it's re-released more than the arcade version, appearing on Classic NES Series on Game Boy Advance and all three of Virtual Console, Wii, Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. By comparison, the arcade version did not have a standalone re-release until it was included in the Arcade Archives series on Nintendo Switch in 2018. This can be observed in the article itself, which covers many different versions of Donkey Kong. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 03:28, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Francis, Duke of Guise → François, Duke of Guise – Requesting move of these articles per WP:COMMONNAME. I will begin my argument with ngrams, even though I find them largely overcrowded by noise. Please see [30] [31] [32] [33] Moving beyond ngrams, my argument revolves around the English literature that focuses on the family, the era of the Italian Wars, and the era French Wars of Religion, both areas of which they played a central role in and are therefore not an incidental mention in. Stuart Carroll (2011) Martyr's and Murderers: The Guise Family and the Making of Europe, is the most recent English language biography of the family - it refers to the second duke of Guise as François, his son the third duke as Henri and the fifth duke of Guise as Henri II (also the seventh duke of Guise as François-Joseph though that Wikipedia article is already at François-Joseph, so does not require changing.) The other recent English book which discusses them in the title is Mark Konnert's (2006) Local Politics in the French Wars of Religion: The Towns of Champagne, the duc de Guise and the Catholic League (1560-1595) - it refers to François, and Henri. I will now briefly survey English academics who have written on this area in the last couple of decades, and their various positions on the names. Gould (2006) = François; Roelker (1968) = François, Henri; Knecht (2014) = François, Henri; Diefendorf (1991) = François, Henri; Roberts (2013) = François, Henri; Sutherland (1962) = François, Henri; Tullchin (2012) = François, Henri; Roelker (1996) = François, Henri; Baumgartner (1986) = Henri; Harding (1978) = François, Henri; Heller (2003) = Henri; Potter (1997) = François, Henri; Carroll (2005) = François, Henri; Bernstein (2004) = Henri; Konnert (1997) = François, Henri; Benedict (2003) = François, Henri; Salmon (1979) = François, Henri; Shaw (2019) [only English language survey of the Italian Wars] = François; Pitts (2012) = François, Henri; Neuschel (1989) = François; Kingdon (1967) = François, Henri; Greengrass (1988) = François; Conner (2000) = François, Spangler (2016) = Henri Tingle (2006) is a little unusual, refers to François, and Henry; likewise Shimizu (1970) refers to Francis, and Henri Holt (2002) = Francis, Henry, he is the only French Wars of Religion era academic I am aware of who throughout all his works consistently calls them this way. Wood (2002) never refers to either duke by their first name. sovietblobfish (talk) 11:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Robertus Pius (Talk • Contribs) 19:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

It is disrespectful and inaccurate to use the name "Jenna Presley" to refer to her life before and after her career in the adult film industry. Now that we are twelve years removed from her leaving the industry, it is clear that this name change is necessary based on her life since then.

I have also seen MOS:DEADNAME cited; I recognize the specific applications of this guideline, but I do believe that its spirit applies to this situation.

The primary topic for "Liaquat Ali" or "Liaquat Ali Khan", spelled either with or without a u, is clearly Liaquat Ali Khan, the assassinated prime minister of Pakistan, hence all of these obscure politicians need disambiguators that don't apply to him, or each other. This is straightforward for the two politicians from Bangladesh, who are ambiguous with each other, so move both to disambiguate by city and redirect "Liaquat Ali (politician)" to Liaquat Ali Khan and "Liaquat Ali (Bangladeshi politician)" to the disambiguation page. I have no idea how to disambiguate 3 - the natural suggestion of "Liaquat Ali Khan (Punjab politician)" is unfortunately still ambiguous with the prime minister as he was born in Punjab, and also ambiguous with Liaqat Ali Khan (politician) who's from Mutlan which is part of Punjab. "Liaquat Ali Khan (Sargodha politician)"? "Liaquat Ali Khan (Member of the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab)"? "Liaquat Ali Khan (Pakistan Muslim League (N) politician)" ("Liaquat Ali Khan (Pakistan Muslim League politician)" doesn't work as it's ambiguous with 5) None of those really feel right. 4 is straightforward - none of the other politicians seem to have any affiliation with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, so that term will work. 5 has similar problems to 3. "Liaqat Ali Khan (Mutlan politician)?" "Liaqat Ali Khan (member of the National Assembly of Pakistan)"?

- (Discuss) – Callie and Marie → Squid Sisters – I request this move based on two rationales. First off, these two pages largely concern fictional idol groups and their performances as a whole, rather than a simple collection of unrelated characters. In the series, the groups act as a mascot of each titles (Squid Sisters for Splatoon and Off the Hook for Splatoon 2) with a huge emphasis on their activities together. So it seems the idol groups as article title makes the topic clearer. The second point is that Nintendo itself prefers referring to the idols this way officially. To name a few: * Splatoon Base is an official website providing factoids of the Splatoon universe. This has a Music section that introduces its fictional music groups and they have their pages as Squid Sisters and Off the Hook. * Nintendo of America runs an advertising program called Squid Research Lab, usually shared through social media. I'll focus on its official Tumblr run from 2014 to 2021 because it can be viewed without login. This blog posted news for Splatoon 2 during its lifespan and their coverage of Off the Hook preferred to address them as their group name on topics like concerts or DLC. The time it called attention to the individual characters, it was when it announced amiibo toys for both groups and each character could be purchased separately ([44], [45]). * Nintendo of America's YouTube channel has uploaded the soundtrack of Splatoon 3, which is credited as in-universe songs from the groups. Both the Squid Sisters (City of Color, Tomorrow's Nostalgia Today) and Off the Hook (Color Pulse, We're So Back) are referred to as their group names, not "Callie and Marie" or "Pearl and Marina". * The Pearl and Marina article mentions their appearance as Super Smash Bros. Ultimate spirit. They appear as "Off the Hook". [46] There were a few attempts to move Pearl and Marina to Off the Hook (Splatoon) with one revert citing WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Given the official sources above and news outlets following the suit, however, it's clear "Squid Sisters" and "Off the Hook" are the primary names. Emiya Mulzomdao (talk) 15:16, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Legal status of fictional pornography depicting minors → Legal status of fictional child pornography – I am making a move request as User:EggRoll97 has reverted my move using with the basis of WP:RMUM. According to WP:RMUM; 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 previous 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 a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself.' My move was done on the basis of WP:CONCISE & WP:PRECISE, as 'child pornography' is much shorter and more concise than 'pornography depicting minors', & the page for Child pornography is not titled 'Pornography depicting minors', or maybe rename it to 'Legal status of simulated child pornography', To fit with the aforementioned article.

- (Discuss) – Anarchist St. Imier International → Anti-Authoritarian International – In my experience, the term "Anti-Authoritarian International" appears to be the common name for this organisation in historical sources.[48] I rarely see it referred to as the "Anarchist International", as the term "anarchist" wasn't even formally adopted by members of the organisation until after it had already collapsed (see Graham 2019, p. 339). But we do know that they referred to themselves as "anti-authoritarians", in order to distance themselves from the Marxist International. Grnrchst (talk) 11:22, 19 March 2024 (UTC)

This article gets about one page view per month (perhaps mostly from people looking for the other article). The other one has been getting about 120 page views per day or 3,600 views per month since its creation two and a half years ago, so it has more than 3,000× the readership interest.

- (Discuss) – 1933 German referendum → 1933 German League of Nations withdrawal referendum – WP:NC-GAL, the naming guideline for referendums, sets out the naming format for referendums as being [date] [country name or adjectival form] [type] referendum", for example 1946 Faroese independence referendum, though it is worth pointing out some referendum articles do not have the [type] added, because it is too complex to explain in a few words or the referendums cover multiple topics. However, I do not think this is the case for these four articles (particularly not the first two listed) I had assumed the move of this article would be uncontroversial given the naming convention (and made it a short time ago), but it was was reverted because it made the article title inconsistent with others, so now using the formal RM process. I think the proposed titles of the 1933 and 1926 articles should be uncontroversial and in line with the naming guideline. I am not 100% convinced that there are not better alternatives for the 1929 and 1934 articles, which I am happy for alternatives to be suggested or simply to keep them at the existing titles if they are deemed to awkward. However, I felt that given the move of this article was reverted because the other articles hadn't been moved, it would be best to cover this in a single discussion, even if it is a little messy, so it might be best for responders to indicate whether they approve of all or merely some of the proposals (or none).

- (Discuss) – 2023 Belgorod Oblast incursions → ? – There was a new big raid into Russia like the May and June 2023 ones [61]. All such raids should be covered in this article, so it is necessary to change the title. I don't think 2023–2024 Belgorod Oblast incursions would be a good idea as there might be more in the future (the war isn't ending anytime soon) and Belgorod Oblast incursions (2023–present) following some articles' standard is not appropriate either in my opinion as the raids have been sporadic. An easy solution might be to simply remove the year and move the article to Belgorod Oblast incursions. We can also propose other options. From the top of my head, Incursions into Belgorod Oblast during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Ukrainian incursions into Belgorod Oblast.

Since the Democratic parties are the liberal parties, Liberty Korea Party, Dawn of Liberty Party and the ko:자유당 (대한민국, 2020년) (translated as "Liberty Party" on articles) use Liberty.

Once that move is done, the Cincinnati-based Mercy Health will be the only organization still using the name "Mercy Health", so it seems that it would be the primary topic for that name (of course, a hatnote linking to the disambiguation page would need to be added).

- (Discuss) – Wreckovation → Catholic church architecture and design after the Second Vatican Council – I think that the core of the subject that was discussed in sources at AfD is more neutrally described by the title above, and that there are good sources that provide the sort of high-level overview that would be useful in building out an encyclopedia article (i.e. "The Council as Shibboleth: The Rhetoric of Authenticity and Liturgical Space after Vatican II", Architecture in Communion, "Archi-Liturgical Culture Wars", etc.). The proposed title is long, and it would require a bit of restructuring of the article, but I think it's the way to go if we're going to cover this subject broadly. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 04:35, 7 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Jacques-Marie-Frangile Bigot → Jacques Marie François Bigot – Multiple contemporary sources give this entomologist's full name as "François" rather than "Frangile": * https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/3613374 (in a list of members of the Société zoologique de France; his name is present in the members list in all volumes of the society's bulletin from 1880 until his death in 1893) * https://www.geneanet.org/registres/view/42631/6 (in an electoral list; he’s near the top of the page, though unfortunately it’s rather blurry there) * https://books.google.fr/books?id=r_NNAAAAYAAJ&pg=PR21&lpg=PR21&dq=%22jacques-marie-fran%C3%A7ois%22+bigot&source=bl&ots=XhdPoK8g_O&sig=ACfU3U1yJ9CMKHol6wTzJETVfo7aXIl3YQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwio9vzq-LCEAxXUTKQEHVwWBws4ChDoAXoECAQQAw#v=onepage&q=%22jacques-marie-fran%C3%A7ois%22%20bigot&f=false (in a register of gardens in France) * https://books.google.fr/books?id=tT2oo7ntUvUC&pg=PA322&lpg=PA322&dq=%22jacques-marie-fran%C3%A7ois%22+bigot&source=bl&ots=cJENByGH3g&sig=ACfU3U3oosGkp4lQ6s7QY81pgzUZqD3bxA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwio9vzq-LCEAxXUTKQEHVwWBws4ChDoAXoECAMQAw#v=onepage&q=%22jacques-marie-fran%C3%A7ois%22%20bigot&f=false (named as an academic officer in this book, whose title is translated to “Compilation of laws and acts of public instruction”) There is also an article from 2008 here that gives his third given name as "François" rather than "Frangile", but I don't know where the full name is sourced from so this may not be any good for supporting this article move. As another editor has suggested above in this talk page, "Frangile" is possibly a clerical error originating from a mention of his full name in the Annales de la Société Entomologique de France starting in 1885 (e.g. here), maybe from trying to interpret his handwriting. According to existing available sources about him (particularly this one), he was also notorious in his day for being careless with his spellings of scientific names for flies, which he was criticized for. Possibly some misspellings also came about from trying to read his handwriting. (This may have no relevance to renaming the article, but it makes it seem plausible that "Frangile" was a clerical error.) There was an alternative suggestion from offwiki (the unofficial Wikimedia Discord server specifically) that we use "J. M. F. Bigot" or "J.-M.-F. Bigot" as the article title instead, because he always wrote his given names as initials in his works. This however doesn't seem consistent with our treatment of French entomologists on Wikipedia: see Category:French entomologists and WP:TITLECON. Many recent sources also tend to give his name in full rather than with initials anyway (even if with "Frangile" instead of "François"), so maybe it can be argued to be the most common format: see WP:MIDDLENAME. (Though I see that some of the authority control databases use his initials with full name in parentheses, so I could be wrong here.) Lastly, I don't actually know if his name should be given with hyphens or not, but if other French entomologists with multiple given names (that are not compound given names) tend to have spaces rather than hyphens on Wikipedia, then this one should have spaces too. Otherwise, the article title could be called "Jacques-Marie-François Bigot" instead. Monster Iestyn (talk) 03:24, 18 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BD2412 T 16:21, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Marvel Studios Animation → Marvel Animation (Marvel Studios) – It has recently been revealed that this division (until now known as "Marvel Studios Animation" from a Vulture report), is formally known as "Marvel Animation". Given Marvel Animation already exists for the entity that primarily existed under Marvel Entertainment, some alternate names are necessary. Consensus has been formed to move the existing Marvel Animation to Marvel Animation & Family Entertainment, and arguments have been made that keeping this at "Marvel Studios Animation" provides a WP:NATURAL disambiguation. However, given this is no longer the name the division is being referred to, I and others (namely InfiniteNexus) believe the base title should be simply "Marvel Animation". The dab of "(Marvel Studios)" was suggested following a similar dab used to disambiguate the List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series actors (both List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series actors (Marvel Television) and List of Marvel Cinematic Universe television series actors (Marvel Studios)). Additional thoughts and comments are desired on how best to handle this article's name.

- (Discuss) – Shrovetide → Pre-Lent – This article was originally named 'Pre-Lenten Season' and this is what it describes. It was renamed 'Shrovetide' in 2016, based on a single reference that gives an incorrect definition (Gardner 2008). Shrovetide is however only the final three days of this period: the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as 'The period comprising Quinquagesima Sunday and the two following days, ‘Shrove’ Monday and Tuesday'. Shrovetide is identical to Carnival, which already has its own article. The pre-Lenten period is variously called 'pre-Lent', 'pre-Lenten period', 'pre-Lenten season', 'Septuagesima—Sexagesima—Quinquagesima', 'Septuagesima', 'Gesimatide', 'weeks before Lent' and probably other things – since it isn't a proper season, it doesn't have a formal name. (Cf. 'Vorpassionszeit' in German, 'Domenica di Settuagesima' in Italian.) 'Pre-Lent' is the most descriptive and neutral name that I can find in current scholarship, but I can see arguments for some of the other labels.

- (Discuss) – Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza → Attempted genocide by Israel in their 2023 attack on Gaza – As above. The actions taken by Israel over the last few months amount to, at very least, an attempted genocide. The number of those killed by Israel is now over 30,000 - more than a few "confirmed" genocides on the list of genocides - and Israel shows no sign of stopping their genocidal campaign against the people of Gaza. The list of war crimes is only increasing, and if things continue the way they are, it will eventually amount to a total genocide of the Palestinian people. As Wikipedians, we are not here to peddle Israeli narrative, and must show the facts for what they are. Israel has openly declared its intent to destroy Gaza, and by displacing millions of people, moving them further and further south, to then continue to bombard areas they declared as "safe" is nothing short of barbarianism. (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) Deliberately targeting civilians in this manner, with none of the "restraint" that they claim to be displaying, is a clear sign that they intend to kill every single person in Gaza. This is not particularly refutable, hence I did not see the move as "controversial", as [edit: it fits the 1948 United Nations Genocide Convention definition of a genocide]; there is no other way to describe what is currently happening.

- (Discuss) – Genital modification and mutilation → Genital modification – Fails WP: CRITERIA. 1.) It lacks precision, as it encompasses related but dissimilar topics, often being misinterpreted by users to mean that all genital modifications listed on the page are mutilations. 2.) It fails the criteria of concision. As all genital mutilations are forms of genital modifications, genital modification would suffice. (e.g. It is like if a page was termed "List of dogs and bulldogs" instead of "List of dogs") 3.) It fails the criteria of neutrality, as it implies to readers (problematically) that gender-affirming surgery, labiaplasty, circumcision, and pearling are mutilation. It also associates "modification" with exclusively negative changes. To make it meet WP: NPOV, you'd have to add "enhancement" or another positive term, a proposal that would further fail the criteria of concision. 4.) The title goes against article precedents surrounding body modification articles. All of which leave out titles that give positive or negative personal judgements.

- (Discuss) – Bojana (river) → Buna (river) – Buna/Bojana is a river which flows from northern Albania to the Adriatic Sea. Half of its course is entirely within Albania and in the next half, it forms the border between Albania and Montenegro. Arguments in favor of a move to Buna: *Per WP:COMMONNAME: Google Scholar: **5.940 (Bojana) **9.260 (Buna). I searched for other variants and added some additional qualifiers to remove results for the name Bojana instead of the river, but the overall ratio doesn't qualitatively change. The name Buna is used more frequently than the name Bojana. *Per WP:NCRIVER:
If the section of the river that uses a particular name is much longer than other sections, then use that as the name
Buna is entirely within Albania and half of its course forms the border between Albania and Montenegro. The name Buna is used for all sections of the river, while the name Bojana only for part it. *Per WP:UEGN:If no name can be shown to be widely accepted in English, use the local name. If more than one local name exists, follow the procedure explained below under Multiple local names.
The local name for over 98% of communities living along the Buna is Albanian both as an official and as a local name. Bojana is used as the official name in Montenegro, but Ulcinj municipality is an Albanian minority area. As such, both Bojana and Buna are co-official in the section which forms the border with Montenegro.--Maleschreiber (talk) 18:20, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – High Tension → High Tension (2003 film) – There are a considerable number of other targets at High Tension (disambiguation). Per WP:NOPRIMARY the dab page should be located at High Tension and not the 2003 film. I further note that this film has been released in English on DVD/Blu-Ray under two different titles, High Tension and Switchblade Romance so the naming convention in English isn't consistent. This further demonstrates that this is not the primary target for High Tension, and for this reason I would also support a move alternative to Switchblade Romance which has no competing titles, or simply using the original French language title, Haute tension. A further point to consider, High Tension could become a redirect to high voltage as the primary target as "Extra-High Tension" or EHT is a common measurement in electricity. There are several options here. Either way, the 2003 film should be moved. 4meter4 (talk) 15:52, 14 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 08:11, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
