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.
- A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
- 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.

- To list a technical request: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
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 ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.
Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Wasa dialect → Wasa language (currently a redirect back to Wasa dialect) (move · discuss) – not a dialect of Twi per our sources [Glottolog, Ethnologue] — kwami (talk) 09:14, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- CrossOver (software) → CrossOver (currently a redirect back to CrossOver (software)) (move · discuss) – Disambiguation is not required since "CrossOver" is often related to the compatibility software. Draheinsunvale (talk) 21:48, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- René Waldeck-Rousseau, father (currently a redirect to René Waldeck-Rousseau (born 1809)) → René Waldeck-Rousseau (currently a redirect instead to Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau) (move · discuss) – I believe the creator of René's article added the disambiguator "father" because a page titled "Rene Waldeck-Rousseau" already existed as a redirect to his son, Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau. The title "father" is unnecessary here, and also transfers to the Dutch wiki via translation. Aleksamil (talk) 09:31, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Aleksamil René Waldeck-Rousseau seems to much more commonly be used to refer to the son than the father (see https://www.britannica.com/biography/Rene-Waldeck-Rousseau, and most of the links at Special:WhatLinksHere/René Waldeck-Rousseau are referring to the son). However, I agree that something like René Waldeck-Rousseau (born 1809) would be a more standard form of disambiguation. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:33, 8 October 2024 (UTC)- @Ahecht That's sensible. I saw that the French wiki largely refers to the son as Pierre, so I assumed the same would be the case for English-language sources as well. Should I move the son's article to "René Waldeck-Rousseau" in that case, and the father to "René Waldeck-Rousseau (born 1809)"? Aleksamil (talk) 21:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Aleksamil Since there was some controversy over the naming of the son's article back in 2009, I would suggest opening a formal move request on the move of Pierre to Rene. See Talk:Pierre Waldeck-Rousseau#First name --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 00:51, 10 October 2024 (UTC)- I've gone ahead and done the move to René Waldeck-Rousseau (born 1809), however, since that seems uncontrovertial. --Ahecht (TALK

- Cartoon Network (Central and Eastern Europe) → Cartoon Network (Central and Eastern European TV channel) (currently a redirect back to Cartoon Network (Central and Eastern Europe)) (move · discuss) – previous article name to match with all of the other international CN channels. VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 18:34, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- @VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 I am not seeing where this a reversion of a previous move, so I am changing the section this is in. Bensci54 (talk) 20:17, 8 October 2024 (UTC)
- This seems like unnecessary disambiguation and goes against WP:CONCISE. Unless there's something I'm missing, it seems like if other international CN channels also include "TV Channel" they should have it removed as well. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:42, 8 October 2024 (UTC)- @Bensci54 and Ahect: Don't mind if I list similar requests here for move reversions; actually, VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 is right, they are! Looking at the page history for this and similar others, WP:NCTV was cited as the reason. Even check out Nickelodeon (Israel). Intrisit (talk) 18:54, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Intrisit You're probably thinking of WP:NCBC ( WP:NCTV is about TV shows, not channels), but I don't see anything in there that says to use "TV channel" when just the country (or region) name is unambiguous. Looking at the page history of Nickelodeon (Israel), you tried to move it to Nickelodeon (Israeli TV channel) and an administrator immediately moved it back to Nickelodeon (Israel) because "TV channel" was unnecessary disambiguation. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:20, 9 October 2024 (UTC) - @Number 57: pinging the administrator who made the move reversion on mine with this without any addressing at my talk page (since I knew not at the time that it was twice moved to that title prior to their quick move reversions) to see if there'll be an agreement to remove the "(TV channel)" disambiguation in these such titles.

PAGE) 15:45, 9 October 2024 (UTC)- The spelling is bascially the same. A move could make it a lot less confusing --FMSky (talk) 00:28, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- @FMSky I don't always agree with WP:SMALLDETAILS either, but the consensus around here is generally that small differences in spacing and punctuation are sufficient, so this wouldn't be uncontroversial.

- Distribution center management system → Distribution Center Management System (currently a redirect back to Distribution center management system) (move · discuss) – Redirect should replace the target article so it uses title-case spelling. Article is about a specific proprietary system, not the general concept. Tule-hog (talk) 18:10, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Tule-hog I think a better solution here would be to expand the scope beyond the specific proprietary system. The article was about DCMS packages from many providers before this edit, and a quick Google search shows a variety of companies other than Eclipse that offer software they call a "distribution center management system" including SDI, Indus, JDA, Blue Yonder, etc. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)- Alternatively a place to elaborate on the non-proprietaries would be warehouse management system (along with expansion to distinguish the warehouse vs distribution center terms, which are somewhat nebulous but there are definitions to be found). I'm not sure two separate articles are warranted (could be wrong!). Tule-hog (talk) 22:22, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

- Democratic and Popular Unity Party (currently a redirect to Democratic and Popular Union) → Democratic and Popular Unity (currently a redirect instead to Democratic and Popular Union) (move · discuss) – Previous move request was accepted but with "party" tacked on to the end. This despite "party" not being in the name and the fact that it is an electoral alliance not a political party. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC) Krisgabwoosh (talk) 18:25, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

PAGE) 21:05, 9 October 2024 (UTC)- I've moved it back to Democratic and Popular Union for the time being, as I think this is sufficently murky that a full discusison would be warranted in this instance. WHile there doesn't seem much call for adding Party on the end, I can see a case for either Union or Unity and Union is the long-term status quo. Ngrams show that in the party's heyday English sources were mainly using Unity, but in recent years there is a preference for Union.[1] — Amakuru (talk) 21:53, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
- In my opinion, this is an example of a feedback loop in which the name of the article on Wikipedia influences the wording used in other sources. As shown by the Ngrams, the name "Democratic and Popular Union" begins gaining traction around 2010, the same year the Wikipedia article name was changed. Given that, I think it would be appropriate to move back to the more accurate name. The current name would not have reflected most sources when it was first moved in 2010 and is only the status quo now because it was never corrected. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 00:48, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- I'm the one who moved this to "...Party" yesterday and that was an informed action based on my reading of available sources (at least in English). If that was the wrong way to go then so be it, but it indicates the confusing state of sources on this organization. Also, the article is such a mess in its current form that I'm surprised it was never nominated for deletion. If anyone plans to actually clean it up, their research might help nail down the best way to present the organization's name. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:42, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- All the English-language sources from the past 10 years listed in the article use the English name, "Order of Arts and Letters", such as Variety, Deadline, Columbia Press University, Canada's CTV News (which has an order with the same name), and Billboard. Google often reflects what Wikipedia shows. Even the news articles that use the French title usually have it followed by the English translation. This article was created 20 years ago and to this day it still is a little more than a stub that was poorly sourced. So is it better to just leave the French title on the English-language Wikipedia and ignore all the recent sources calling it by the English name even in headlines?

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 13 October 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 (this parameter can be omitted for discussions hosted on a page that is proposed to be moved)
| 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:

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 appears on the list on this page.
- ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page. |

- (Discuss) – Emily Armstrong (musician) → Emily Armstrong – Has the most page views by far of any Emily Armstrong, as pointed out by @Jax 0677:. Emily Armstrong itself already redirects here, so why not just eliminate the middleman? Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:04, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Capotain → ? – "Capotain(e)" appears to be a ghost word created by Walter Scott. The closest thing that can be found in early modern sources is "copataine", which occurs once in Shakespeare. The more usual terms for this kind of headwear were "copintank" and "sugarloaf hat". I suggest using one or the other as the title of the article. Zacwill (talk) 03:12, 22 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans 07:56, 29 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Star Wars: Clone Wars (2003 TV series) → Star Wars: Clone Wars (TV series) – Already redirects here. I believe having "the" in the title is enough to disambiguate from Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008 TV series). For example, a simple comma being added seems to disambiguate Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, so I think the year in the title counts as unnecessary disambiguation, all things considered.

- (Discuss) – Marumagal (1953 film) → Ammalakkalu – Although it was previously thought that there were no sources for Ammalakkalu, I found a detailed source by NTV Telugu about "70 years of Ammalakkalu" [2]. Moreover, as shown by the Box office section, it was more successful in Telugu. Plus, this is a NTR (Telugu actor) film. DareshMohan (talk) 19:24, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Orphan-Maker → Nanny and Orphan-Maker – The characters of Nanny and Orphan-Maker are systematically paired in their appearances in Marvel comics, pretty much like Tweedledum and Tweedledee (comics) or Fenris (comics). It would make more sense to rename the page, rewrite the text slightly to include Nanny's origin and add a different image that would include both characters.

- (Discuss) – Vassar → Vassar (disambiguation) – When people are searching for "Vassar", they are most likely to be searching for Vassar College. Vassar College is by far the most visited page on the disambiguation page, with 28,573 visits last month. The rest aren't even close: the next closest is Phil Vassar with only 4,299 last month, then Vassar Clements at 1,574, then Matthew Vassar at 1,023, and so on. Results for "Vassar" on Google confirm that the college is the primary topic, with other topics appearing about as much as if you search "Harvard", which redirects to the university.

- (Discuss) – Constitution of the People's Republic of China → Constitution of China – Requesting a move again; seems like nearly all of the opposition to the previous move attempt was due to the inclusion of the Constitution of the Republic of China. I wonder if others would support a standalone move from the Constitution of the People's Republic of China to the Constitution of China. The Account 2 (talk) 18:15, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ojuelegba, Lagos → Ojuelegba – I'm requesting this article to be renamed because there isn't another place with the name "Ojuelegba". Ojuelegba is the primary topic and there's no need for Lagos to be included in the title.

- (Discuss) – Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz → Ibn Baz – - WP:COMMONNAME. He is commonly known simply as Ibn Baz rather than his full name Abdul-Aziz Ibn Baz. See the Google Scholar 2,710 results [Ibn Baz] whereas only 403 results for Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz or 186 results for Abdul Aziz ibn Baz or any variants. Ibn Baz is also consistent with Salafi-related people such as Ibn Taymiyya, Ibn Qayyim, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Jibrin etc. Ibn Baz is also the article title for this figure in the Arabic Wikipedia.

- (Discuss) – Fritillary (disambiguation) → Fritillary – It seems this name refers both to plants and butterflies. There's been a few contentious edits about it, so let's resolve this in discussion. Is the primary redirect to plants warranted? There are few links about it thankfully, so the impact shouldn't be large. A Google Books search for the terms "fritillary" and "fritillaries" doesn't seem conclusive. (Here's the Books Ngrams for most commonly mentioned terms.) --Joy (talk) 08:43, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Neopanax colensoi → Pseudopanax colensoi – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:FLORA - overwhelming usage within recent scientific papers, despite mixed use in taxonomic databases. Without a clear scientific basis for a preference of one name over the other, MOS:ENGVAR/MOS:TIES: that there is a clear consensus among New Zealand scientific sources for a clade of plants endemic to New Zealand. *Neopanax and Pseudopanax together form a clade. Currently there are three morphological forms of the species within this clade - two are always described as Pseudopanax, while one (the more basal form) is sometimes described as Neopanax and sometimes Pseudopanax. page 52 of this thesis has a useful graph showing phylogenetic relationships within the group. Neopanax was synonymised with Pseudopanax in the 20th century, re-established as a genus in 2004, but the justification of this was disputed in 2009. The distinction appears to be one based on conventions rather than a clear scientific justification (i.e. less based on whether or not Neopanax is a distinct clade within Pseudopanax, and more based on whether it's justified to use a different name for this clade, or to continue to use the pre-2004 convention). This issue was previously discussed at WikiProject Plants. *Different taxonomical databases use different preferred names. Pseudopanax is overwhelmingly used by New Zealand databases. **Pseudopanax preferred: NZ Flora, Biota of New Zealand, IUCN, iNaturalist, NZOR and NZTCS **Neopanax preferred: CoL, EoL, GBIF, IRMNG, NCBI, OTOL, POWO *Recent scientific sources outside of taxonomic databases overwhelmingly prefer Pseudopanax. Looking at Post-2020 Google Scholar results for species within the Neopanax clade:
*Neopanax arboreus 6 *Neopanax colensoi 3 *Neopanax kermadecensis 0 *Neopanax laetus 0 *Neopanax macintyrei 1 | *Pseudopanax arboreus 150 *Pseudopanax colensoi 29 *Pseudopanax kermadecensis 3 *Pseudopanax laetus 4 *Pseudopanax macintyrei 2 |

- (Discuss) – Ubuntu → Ubuntu (computer system) – No clear WP:Primary topic. Page views are 1561 for the computer system, 798 for the philosophy (Ubuntu (philosophy)). The philosophy also likely has more long term significance. Edit: this used to be the case until the philosophy was bold moved to Ubuntu philosophy and an RM that moved this from Ubuntu (operating system) to the current title.

- (Discuss) – List of Ferris wheels → List of tallest Ferris wheels – There is no list of all buildings or office centers, all amusement parks, etc., just as the idea of including all Ferris wheels in the world in one list is absurd. I believe the article should be renamed, as the number of Ferris wheels in the world is absolutely huge, likely measured in thousands, and including all of them in a list is simply impossible! And not necessary, as there is no encyclopedic significance in all Ferris wheels ranging from 10-20 meters in height, from every small town, amusement park, or even shopping center... Perhaps the original idea of the article was the TOP of the tallest Ferris wheels in the world, but then the title simply does not correspond to the content and the article needs to be renamed. The only, in my opinion, controversial point is what should be the threshold for including a wheel in the list. My opinion - definitely not less than 80 meters (possibly more - 90 or even 100), otherwise there will be too many wheels and it will be difficult to maintain the relevance of the article. As an argument, I would like to refer to the sale of 88-meter-high wheels on alibaba, which means that wheels of this height can be mass-produced and installed all over the world for a relatively low price for such a giant. Another example - I tried to find a source to confirm the Phnom Penh Eye wheel from Cambodia (from this article), 88 meters high, and found only one very questionable source, and it was not even possible to determine if such a wheel exists or not... Therefore, there is a corresponding problem with wheels up to 80 meters in height, while there are no such problems with wheels ranging from 90-100 meters in height.

- (Discuss) – Seon (Korean name) → Sun (Korean name) – Proposing moving to "Sun (Korean name)" per the wording in the article itself stating that "Sun" is the more common romanization of the surname:
"In a study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports, it was found that 60.7% of people with this surname spelled it in Latin letters as Sun in their passports, while another 39.2% spelled it as Seon.[1]"
For the syllable in a given name, Wikipedia has 10 name articles that romanize the syllable as "Sun" in their article titles, and 4 name articles that romanize it as "Seon".

- (Discuss) – Saint Francis University, Hong Kong → Saint Francis University (Hong Kong) – The comma may imply an affiliation with the unrelated US-based Saint Francis University. For entities of the United States, Hong Kong, and many other regions, using a comma followed by a geographical name after an institution’s name is a common practice for naming affiliated or related branches, such as University of California, Los Angeles, Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Bhopal. To avoid any potential confusion or unintended implication, it would be preferable to replace the comma with brackets. Cfls (talk) 19:59, 12 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2024 Nuseirat rescue operation → Nuseirat rescue and killings – There are two narratives about this event. For Israelis, this was a daring rescue operation to liberate 4 hostages. For the Palestinians it was the brutal killing of 250+ people in the span of a few hours. Per WP:NPOV, Wikipedia can't take sides. There is consensus to merge Nuseirat refugee camp massacre here, and while "massacre" has POV connotations, "killings" does not (see WP:KILLINGS), and has ample precedent (Dunmanway killings, 1971 Newry killings, 2014 killings of NYPD officers etc). The "2024" is unnecessary because there has only been one rescue operation in Nuseirat.VR (Please ping on reply) 19:22, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Murder of Felicia Gayle → Execution of Marcellus Williams – I think it is clear, judging by the sources used in the article already, that the only notable component of Felicia Gayle's murder is that the accused, Marcellus Williams, was convicted and executed despite indications to his innocence. If there was no doubt to Williams' guilt, this article would not exist, making an article split inappropriate. Furthermore, I do not think titling it just "Marcellus Williams" makes sense either, as we are not writing about the man, but the process of conviction, the repeated execution stays, and the actual execution.

- (Discuss) – List of members of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, 2022– → List of members of the Chamber of Deputies of Italy, 2022–present – To use the formal proper name for these legislative bodies (rather than the descriptive "adjective + noun" format) and to get rid of the open-ended date range ending with a dash on two titles. MOS:TOPRESENT says the proper form of the final article's date range is to use "to present" or "–present", and says "Do not use incomplete-looking constructions such as 1982– and 1982–... ." This seems very similar to the recent consensus formed at Talk:Lists of members of the Parliament of Canada who died in office#Requested move 4 October 2024, but for Italy. It is a little strange that these date ranges overlap with each other, but that is explained in the introduction of each list. Alternatively, these could be identified by the legislature index identifiers instead (e.g., Legislature XVIII or 18th legislature instead of "2018–2022"). — BarrelProof (talk) 04:31, 12 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Same-sex marriage in Nepal → Recognition of same-sex unions in Nepal – "Marriage" with literally ZERO rights. Even Japanese partnership certificates are more useful than those temporary "marriage" certificates. Same-sex couples are misgendered and pressured into adopting gendered roles with little regard for their sexual orientation and gender identity. Plus, same-sex couples are entered into a "separate and temporary register" which sounds discriminatory and not very reassuring. In Thailand approximately 1500 same-sex couples are expected to marry on 22 January 2025. While in Nepal they are celebrating the seventh "same-sex marriage" in 15 months. Most of those couples are NOT even same-sex couples, they are transgender couples.

- (Discuss) – Estonian Native → Estonian Native horse – Intolerably naturally ambiguous phrase. The capitalization of Native doesn't "save" it, either, especially with rise of [over-]capitalization in the left-leaning press of terms like "native" any time they are applied to humans. That is, to a significant population of readers, the phrase "Estonian Native" necessarily indicates "people native to the present or historical Estonia", i.e. Estonians (AKA Estonian people) and the culture of Estonia. This move will be entirely WP:CONSISTENT with many prior moves of animal breed articles with names that appeared to refer to human populations, to now include the species term at the end as a WP:NATURAL disambiguator (thus Argentine Criollo cattle, Messinese goat, Algerian Arab sheep, Indo-Brazilian cattle, Florida White rabbit, etc., etc. (Cf. in particular the mass-RMs: Talk:British White cattle#Requested moves 19 December 2014 and Talk:Anglo-Nubian goat#Requested moves). The capitalization presented here is correct per MOS:LIFE: the proper name of a standardized breed is capitalized, but the species name used after it as a disambiguator is not, unless that word is itself part of the formal breed name because it would be confusingly ambiguous without it even outside of an encyclopedic context (as in the case of Norwegian Forest Cat which is not a Scandinavian woodland, and American Quarter Horse which is not a coin). PS: I would not create an Estonian native (disambiguation) page, but instead put a
{{Redirect|Estonian Native|people native to Estonia|Estonian people}}
hatnote template at the top of this breed article, since there are only two subjects to disambiguate. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 11:29, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – NBA Finals Most Valuable Player award → NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award – There seems to be some inconsistency with the naming conventions of the NBA award articles. The listed articles use the uncapitalized "award" while the rest of the related articles use the capitalized "Award". I think it should be capitalized since it is specifically the NBA's award, but I can see the opposition that "award" should not capitalized because of it being a generic term like "NBA playoffs". If this is opposed, it might be that the other award articles use "award" instead of "Award", maybe in a separate discussion. MarcusAbacus (talk) 06:00, 11 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – UniTeam Alliance → UniTeam – I tried Google News search to find articles that use the term "UniTeam Alliance" (both words on that order). On the first page, there was just two of tem, this and this, and both decapitalize "alliance", making it like an adjective instead of a part of a proper name. This means that the actual predominantly used name is "UniTeam", with "Team" already denoting a group of people, so "Team" and "Alliance" together sounds redundant.

- (Discuss) – Siege of Gerona (disambiguation) → Sieges of Gerona – Several issues I hope to address with these proposed moves. First, it makes little sense to have the "second" and "third" sieges as titles but to call the first event a battle; of the three is was the most like a battle, but the distinction is confusing in this case. It does seem that [ordinal] siege of Gerona is the most common manner of disambiguating the various events. If the first segment were to carry the WP:COMMONNAME "Battle" then it should not carry a parenthetical qualifier, being already WP:NATURALly disambiguated and the primary topic for the term; the base name Battle of Girona already redirects there and is WP:MISPLACED. Second, when used alone without additional context, "Siege of Gerona" does seem to refer to the successful final siege as a primary topic, and currently redirects there. I am proposing to leave this as a primary redirect and turn the disambiguation page into a set index at the plural, but I would also support having the set index in place of the redirect at the singular. Third, while I personally feel "Siege" in these titles is part of the proper noun, use in sources is mixed, and most "siege" articles on enwiki do not take siege as part of the proper noun (in contrast to "Battle of..." which is almost always part of the proper noun; I don't see the distinction) and WP:MILCAPS is vague, so for now let's go for being the most consistent. Lastly, as for the Girona vs. Gerona issue, there has been past move reversions and discussion about this (e.g. Talk:Third siege of Girona#Girona/Gerona), and we should reach consensus here. I am open to either spelling, but am proposing a return to Gerona because it does seem a majority of reliable sources use this spelling, and that is the criterion upon which we should base our choice. On the other hand, the modern spelling of the city is the Catalan spelling. Regardless, the set index/disambiguation page should use the same spelling as the articles. Overall, I am open to discussing and considering any and all variations of this proposal, but the status quo should not be kept. Mdewman6 (talk) 04:03, 1 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

This would also allow the actor's page to be moved simply to "Don Marshall", without a disambiguator. The current Donnie R.

I would just do this WP:BOLDly, as the case seems obvious, but it has been said that primary topic grabs should always be considered potentially controversial, and this would revert a move performed in 2006. — BarrelProof (talk) 18:21, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – BabyMonster → Babymonster – Opening a discussion on whether or not the name of this group should be "Babymonster", or continue to be represented in camelcase as "BabyMonster". The most common way the name is presented in RS is in the all-caps stylization, which doesn't help us here. I've dug through pages and pages of sources looking for instances where they mention the group not using all caps: Reliable English-language sources for "Babymonster": *ABS-CBN News *The Korea Times *The Korea Herald *AsiaOne *The Chosun Ilbo *United Press International *Yonhap News Agency *Tatler Magazine *Korean Broadcasting Service *The Straits Times *The Hankook Ilbo Reliable English-language sources for "BabyMonster": *Korea JoongAng Daily *Vogue Singapore *Variety *The Chosun Ilbo *United Press International *Maeil Business Times *Korea Economic Daily *The Hankook Ilbo There are also some sources that use "Baby Monster" (two separate words) but I think those are outliers. I've dug through all of YG Entertainment's official releases (including their yearly reports and financial releases) and can find no mention of the band as anything but the all caps stylization so they're of no help either. Past YG Entertainment precedent doesn't really help us either... Blackpink doesn't use camelcase, but BigBang does. The guideline at MOS:CAMELCASE defers to whatever appears to be most common but there is no clear majority here; based on what I've found in English-language RS, "Babymonster" has a very slight edge. This article's assertion that the group's name is commonly shortened to "Baemon" (not "BaeMon") might be considered an additional point in no-camelcase's favour. Does anyone know of any official sources where YG has stated one way or the other? That'd settle it. RachelTensions (talk) 16:17, 10 October 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Wonyoung → Jang Wonyoung – Cracking open a discussion on moving Wonyoung to Jang Wonyoung. Back in July there was a proposal to move from Jang Won-young to Jang Wonyoung, but the article ended up being moved to Wonyoung instead without much discussion or supporting evidence. It doesn't seem like the subject of the article has ever been known as "Wonyoung" in any official capacity; she was known as "Jang Won-yong" in Iz*One, and is specifically one of two members of IVE that officially use their full names, not a mononym (the other being An Yujin). See: IVE official listing at Starship Entertainment, and official Spotify artist page. In addition, English-language reliable sources seem to commonly refer to her non-monomously (at least as commonly as they do mononomously): Dazed Magazine, Maeil Business Newspaper, Korea JoongAng Daily, WWD, The Korea Times, The Sun, Republic, South China Morning Post, The Korea Herald, The Chosun Ilbo, Yonhap News Agency, The Korea Economic Daily, The Hankook Ilbo, Aju News Corporation, Korea Broadcasting System I think that given that there are some sources that refer to her mononomously, and some sources that refer to her with the full name, we should defer to the way she is known officially unless the evidence to refer to her otherwise is overwhelming. She is officially non-mononomous in all her professional solo MCing and hosting credits, her group work (both groups), her agency, etc. The only quasi-official place she's used "Wonyoung" is her Instagram name and even that's debatable because immediately prior to that she calls herself "Jang Wonyoung" in Hangul.

In any case, this title is probably the best option for this article. This character is almost exclusively referred to as "the Flash", never just "Flash". The main comic series is called The Flash, and there are two different major television series and a movie called The Flash, not just Flash. Plus, The Flash already redirects here so this article is already the primary topic for the term "The Flash". Ladtrack (talk) 04:27, 10 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Michael Magee → Michael Magee (actor) – Not at all clear that the Canadian actor would be a permanent WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this name, over and above other people in the disambiguation page. In fact, comparing him just to Michael Magee (writer) alone, the writer has the higher page views — only on September 21 did the writer dip below the actor in page views, and even then only by a whopping total of two, while the overall average over the past three weeks was 29 daily views for the writer to 13 daily views for the actor. (That's obviously not enough of a difference to render the writer into primary topic either, so the base title should be a disambiguation page, but it is enough to wreck any claim that the actor should be the primary topic.) And I even just caught a case where one of the writer's novels existed as a redirect to the actor instead of to the writer, which I've already corrected. The actor was largely only ever known in Canada, and even then was almost better known by the character pseudonym "Fred C. Dobbs" than by his own real name, so he's hardly a universal primary topic to the world. Bearcat (talk) 15:16, 9 October 2024 (UTC)

I have found no secondary sources to indicate that this "team" has ever played a match (page 216 of this PDF lists no matches from 2002 to 2006, and the team has never appeared in the FIFA Women's World Rankings). While this FIFA PDF from 2009 indicated there was a women's "A" team, I could not find any secondary sources to corroborate this. It's also worth noting the data would have been reported by the Yemeni FA to FIFA, so it is not exactly a reliable indicator of whether a team exists. Maybe there is a training system/youth development, but I don't think that is enough to prove the existence of an official women's national team; that requires playing a match. S.A.

- (Discuss) – Czech Republic → Czechia – So, this is a perennial topic, but we said we would return to it in October to re-evaluate in the light of the Olympics, which is the latest in a long string of contexts in which we have recently seen a rapid change in usage. Before we get into arguments on the details, can we perhaps first have clarity on the criteria? These are laid down at Wikipedia:Article titles. May I suggest that everybody read that before they comment here? I think we can save ourselves a lot of time if we all agree to follow policy. Past discussions have suffered a lot from misinformation about this. Assuming that a subject has more than one title in reliable sources, the choice should be made primarily on five key criteria (shortcut WP:CRITERIA): recognizability (defined to mean that someone familiar with the topic will know what is meant), naturalness (meaning people will find it in a search), precision (what is most correct), concision (fewer words are better than more) and consistency (the article title follows a similar pattern to other articles on parallel topics). The policy page then goes on to talk about the rule of thumb that it is helpful to find the most commonly recognizable name (shortcut WP:COMMONNAME), not as an end in itself, but because this will often shed light on what best meets the five criteria. The logic is that if experts in the field have come to a consensus on terminology, they will usually have alighted on something that is recognizable, natural, precise, concise and consistent. So for present purposes, common name means what is commonly used by relevant authoritative voices. It specifically does not mean we should follow whatever is statistically most commonly used by people on the street who may have limited familiarity with the topic, and the policy page warns against giving too much weight to Google hits and the likes. Rather,
"[i]n determining which of several alternative names is most frequently used, it is useful to observe the usage of major international organizations, major English-language media outlets, quality encyclopedias, geographic name servers, major scientific bodies, and notable scientific journals."
I hope we can agree on those principles. So how do they apply to this case? Here's my take. Czechia seems to me to fit all the five criteria, and on three of the five, it fits better than Czech Republic. # recognizability – both options are equally recognizable; we’re way beyond the point where anyone might not know what is meant by Czechia. # naturalness – this is subjective, but I think people will find us, so again I don’t think there is anything here to speak against the move. # precision – this one matters. The most correct name for a country or a people is the name it chooses for itself. The Czech government has asked the English-speaking world to use Czechia. That fact trumps all others on the question of correctness. # concision – one word rather than two is not a massive difference, but Czechia wins there too. # consistency with other articles – this is the biggie. I can’t think of any other country for which Wikipedia uses the long, official-sounding name as the article title when there is also a short, colloquial one. Actually, the policy page on article names specifically gives the example that we should use North Korea, not Democratic People's Republic of Korea. So our article title Czech Republic is a total outlier. So on precision and consistency there are strong arguments for a move, and the other three criteria certainly don’t speak against one. I think those arguments have been made and won long ago. The reason we have not had a consensus to change is because of judgments about what is the common name. In my opinion these have been problematic for two reasons. First, it has been repeated here like a mantra that common name is all that matters – in fact the policy page is quite clear that common name is subsidiary to the five naming criteria. And secondly, it has been treated as though common name means what is statistically most frequently used – sorry, but if we based this on a vox pop on the streets of Birmingham or Chicago, we would end up moving back to Czechoslovakia! Google hit counts can be part of our thinking, but not a big part of it. Rather, common name means: what is used by people professionally involved with the topic. Here we have to be careful to look at recent sources, because usage is changing fast. The policy page gives us suggestions for how to decide this, and if we follow these, the argument for Czechia now being the common name is beginning to look strong: # The usage of international organizations – it is significant that this is the policy page’s number-one pointer to common name, and here we have observed a landslide in the direction of Czechia in the last couple of years. It is now used by the diplomatic arm of the Czech government, the EU, the UN, NATO, the Council of Europe, the British Foreign Office, the American State Department, the CIA, the Olympics, UEFA, the Eurovision Song Contest, and many, many others. # Media – I don’t have an overview here, so I’ll let someone else discuss that, but I’m certainly seeing it in the newspapers. # Quality encyclopedias – I’m not sure there are any recent enough to reflect current changes. # Geographic name servers – A cursory survey suggests these usually recognize Czechia. I think the likes of Google Maps would be highly relevant here, and it now uses Czechia. # Scientific bodies and journals – My impressions are probably anecdotal, but the university people I know in Czech studies have been using Czechia for years. We see it prescribed in style-sheets for academic publishing. I’m sure there is a lot of evidence in both directions that other people can add here, but please concentrate on these kinds of authorities. Common name is NOT about hit-counts. Obviously even authorities who now prefer Czechia will still use Czech Republic wherever they would use French Republic or Republic of France. The point is not that the long form has gone, but that the short form is used when the short form of any other country would be used. I submit that for the most part, the relevant authorities have now reached that point. Doric Loon (talk) 04:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BD2412 T 16:10, 8 October 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Grey parrot → Congo grey parrot – The Timneh parrot was traditionally considered a grey parrot. Continuing to call the species Psittacus erithacus the "grey parrot" after the split is incredibly misleading, suggesting that the Timneh parrot is still included, even though it is not. Common names do not have type specimens/species. They are population-based, not type-based. If the concept of "grey parrots" included Timneh parrots prior to the split, it must continue to do so. I understand that Clements Checklist calls the Congo grey parrot "Gray Parrot", but in the minds of most people "grey parrot" and "African grey parrot" still refer to the entire genus.

- (Discuss) – Republic of China (1912–1949) → Republican China – Primarily per the naturalness and concision WP:CRITERIA. The use of "Republican China" as a term referring to this periodization and its associated state is simply ubiquitous in English-language sources, such as The Cambridge History of China.[1] By contrast, merely "Republic of China" is not used as a term referring specifically to the pre-1949 period, so a parenthetical disambiguator is arguably inappropriate. On that note, this change would also more elegantly distinguish the scope of this article from that of Taiwan. This specific move was previously suggested in 2018: suffice it to say, I did not find the opposing arguments convincing. Heading a few potential objections off at the pass: firstly, historiographical labels function perfectly well as article titles in situations like these, cf. July Monarchy, Revolutionary Catalonia, Nazi Germany. Secondly, several editors argued the terms are not synonymous, or that "Republican China" refers only to the mainland during this period; these seem clearly dubious to me, and no further explanation or evidence for such distinctions was provided in the previous discussion. One final note: I was motivated to pose this RM as the result an offsite discussion with Generalissima, who was asking about the current naming situation and pondering about starting an RM herself; I then offered to do it instead.

Most of his obituaries introduce him as something like "veteran soap opera actor" or "longtime soap star".

- (Discuss) – Expectation → Expectation (disambiguation) – According to Cambridge Dictionary, the primary meaning of "expectation" refers to the psychological concept of anticipating something to happen. The other entries listed on the disambiguation page have a more specific names like expectation–maximization algorithm. Therefore, it seems logical to move the psychological concept to the more concise title, which would also resolve another issue: the parenthetical addition. Typically, we use a noun as a disambiguator (e.g., anticipation (genetics), stress (mechanics)) rather than adjectives. Additionally, it’s challenging to attribute this concept to a single scientific field—whether psychology, philosophy, or epistemology—so how should we specify it? For all other meanings, we can simply just add a disambiguation hatnote to the lead of the current expectation (epistemic) page. –Tobias (talk) 20:19, 28 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 21:55, 6 October 2024 (UTC)

Note the use of the word "occasionally", which means we have both a reliable and recent source for the fact that "Uralic Phonetic Alphabet" is not the primary name.

- (Discuss) – Best friends forever → Best friend – We have separate Wikipedia articles for Girlfriend and Boyfriend, also for "Significant other", and not only for Friendship but also for specific types of it (Romantic friendship, Cross-sex friendship, Friend zone). Thus I am surprised both that there is no such an article for the topic of best friends and that this sentence has an article of its own. I propose expanding the scope of this article to cover the topic of best friends in general. The sentence itself could have a section of its own if necessary. There's a bigger amount of academic research on the topic of best friends than one might initially expect [45], so there'd be stuff to write about in such an article. Most sources in this article seem to already cover the relationship in general rather than only the sentence. Even some of the text in this article itself already does this (see last paragraph at "Academic studies" section). The article needs rework anyway (some sources are informal, see OUPblog or barbaradelinsky.com; and some of the article's redaction is strange, see
In 2010, the BFF concept was a part of a BFF contract "to encourage the signatories to work through their differences before splitting up."

- (Discuss) – Enhanced interrogation techniques → Use of torture under George W. Bush – It seems like the last time this was debated, much of the content of the page and the WP:RS consensus was not present. Now, the article itself shows near unanimous agreement that EIT = torture. I don't have a good replacement name, but the current name has about as much support as "Shower Rooms in Nazi Germany". For example: "According to ABC news in 2007, the CIA removed waterboarding from its list of acceptable interrogation techniques in 2006." If these techniques were "enhanced", why are they no longer used? Even the group the put that name out there doesn't believe in the techniques anymore. It was a branding exercise, not a meaningful summary or specifier on the techniques used. Compare to Enhanced driver's license and Enhanced Fujita scale. I just skimmed the article and the only people I could find calling it not-torture in the modern-ish era are: Bush administration officials, and NPR in 2009 (15 years ago). NPR has since published the term in scare quotes[1], leading one to wonder how useful the descriptor is. I notice the page for Armenian genocide is not the "events of 1915" (one of the Turkish euphemisms for the genocide), for example.

Template function should be clear from the template name, but redirects can be created to assist everyday use of very popular templates.
For people who are unfamiliar with ISO 4217 (i.e. the vast majority of people), the function of the template is very much not clear from the template name – clearly violating TG. Therefore, we should expand the name per WP:TG and keep a redirect from the ISO 4217 names. Using the full name is also consistent with numerous other templates in Category:Currency templates following Template talk:Chinese yuan#Requested move 8 September 2024.

- (Discuss) – Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) → Israel–Hezbollah war (2023–present) – First, there has been significant escalation in the recent weeks of this conflict. Israel has conducted widespread airstrikes on Lebanon, assassinated senior officials of Hezbollah, including its leader, and invaded Lebanon. This is not just a conflict anymore. Second, reliable sources that previously also called it a conflict are beginning to use the term "war". For example, The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN have begun to label this a war. The case for this is strong, and "Israel-Hezbollah war" has been used more commonly than "Third Lebanon War", another proposed name for this conflict.

Given such an immense destruction of civilian infrastructure, we should not put Israeli claims that this was a "precise strike" on just the Hezbollah HQ in wikivoice (violation of WP:POVTITLE]), and instead pick the most neutral title.

- (Discuss) – North American Soccer League (1968–1984) → North American Soccer League – As the primary topic in both common use and long-term significance, I believe the original NASL should not need to be disambiguated while its short-lived reincarnation should remain disambiguated. The second league has been defunct for several years and most coverage in secondary sources in the past few years has been focused on the original NASL. SounderBruce 22:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Maratha Confederacy → Maratha Empire – It was Maratha empire until the death of Madhav Rao in 1772, only after that it was called as Maratha Confederacy. All other sources call it as Maratha Empire. The area of control at peak was from Tamil Nadu to Peshawar, so it was called as Empire. Move was requested multiple times within short period, and last move [51] was closed by a non-admin. This is just revision of history by some wikipedia editors for propaganda, so as to diminish the importance of Marathas in the eyes of readers. Crashed greek (talk) 04:09, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Portrait of a Man (Self Portrait?) → Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban – or Man in a Red Turban or Portrait of a Man in a Turban (reverting to the title before an undiscussed move in 2007 suggesting a right to naming deriving from ownership) or Man in a Turban, or at least Portrait of a Man (possible self-portrait) or Portrait of a Man (Van Eyck possible self-portrait). There are several problems in the current title. One is that the disambiguator appears to be a redundant alternative title rather than a type classification or context clarifier. Another is the question mark indicating a lack of confidence about whether the painting's title should be "Self Portrait" or not (or whether the painting fits into the self-portraiture category or not). We shouldn't be using question marks this way. The use of title case and the lack of a hyphen in "Self Portrait" also seem questionable. See also the previous discussion of the title from 2011–2017 on the article talk page. — BarrelProof (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2019 El Paso shooting → 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting – Per WP:UCRN. Though at the time of the shooting (around 2019) the shooting was more commonly referred to as something in the vein of "El Paso shooting" by reliable sources, in recent years reliable sources trend towards calling it something akin to "El Paso Walmart shooting". Out of 50 articles published since 2020 about the incident, 42 mention Walmart in the title while 8 do not. The 'Walmart' aspect appears to be part of a commonly recognised naming convention, which should be reflected in the page's title. Reliable sources that tended to include 'Walmart' in their titles include CNN, PBS, BBC News, ABC News, AP News, The Independent, the Washington Post, NBC News and others. Local news sources, such as the Texas Tribune and El Paso Times, tended to also refer to 'Walmart' in their titles. I recommend '2019 El Paso Walmart shooting' as it fits other naming conventions. If needed, I can provide several of the referenced articles, though they can be found by Google search. Macxcxz (talk) 11:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

- (Discuss) – Eryholme–Richmond branch line → ? – Either Richmond branch or Richmond branch line – The line does not have any reliable references calling it Eryholme–Richmond branch line. Plenty of Mirrors and those who have used the name of the article in their webpages.[1][2] The railway was built in 1845 when the junction with the East Coast Main Line was Dalton Junction. This was re-named in 1901 to Eryholme Junction,[3] so by way of comparison, for the first 56 years of its existence, it would not have been called the Eryholme–Richmond branch line. There are different names, but those that state just Richmond branch with a lower case 'b' are: *[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List held at the National Railway Museum, has 22 references to Richmond, 17 of which state Richmond Branch (both capitalised), and others stating Richmond to Darlington, or Richmond to Eryholme.[14] *Just Richmond Branch Railway:[15][12] *Hansard refers to the the line when it was under threat of closure as the Darlington–Richmond Line.[16]

- (Discuss) – Tropical Storm Conson (2021) → Tropical Storm Conson – Can this page be moved to just Tropical Storm Conson? As Daniel boxs stated above, the name was retired after the 2021 Pacific typhoon season. While there was a more notable iteration of Conson last 2010, it was a typhoon. This is the only page that is named "Tropical Storm Conson"— the 2004 and 2010 iterations were typhoons, and the 2016 iteration redirects you to the 2016 typhoon page, so it's a little distinctive compared to the previous Conson iterations.

- (Discuss) – Israel–Hamas war → Israel–Gaza war – Despite the move request to Israel-Gaza war being closed as no consensus in February 2024, a lot has changed since then and RS have converged to use this name. This move is long overdue and aligns with the relevant Wikipedia guidelines of WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NAMECHANGE. RS per WP that uses the Israel-Gaza war name as the title of their coverage category: * The Guardian:
Israel-Gaza war
* The Washington Post:Israel-Gaza war
* BBC:Israel-Gaza war
* NPR:Israel-Gaza war
* The Conservation:Israel-Gaza war
* Al Jazeera:Israel's war on Gaza
Other RS that uses the Israel-Gaza war name as the title of their coverage category: * Doctors Without Borders:Israel-Gaza war
* Committee to Protect Journalists:Israel-Gaza conflict
* The National:Israel-Gaza war
* Middle East Eye:Israel's war on Gaza
RS per WP that uses the Israel-Gaza war in their coverage: * Reuters: [52], [53], [54]:Israel-Gaza war
* CBS news: [55]Israel-Gaza war
* Vox: [56], [57]:Israel's war in Gaza
This name change would also align with a third Wikipedia guideline, all five of the WP:CRITERIA one, namely #5 on Consistency, as this would align with Gaza War (2008–2009) and 2014 Gaza war. Makeandtoss (talk) 10:05, 13 August 2024 (UTC) :Update to add other RS mentioning Gaza instead of Hamas in one way or another in at least one instance: * Save the Children: [58]:War in Gaza
as coverage category title * Haaretz Israeli newspaper: [59]:Gaza war
as coverage category title (RS per WP) * Relief Web: Relief Web:Gaza war
* Crisis Group: [60]:Gaza war
* Norwegian Refugee Council: [61]:Gaza conflict
