Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. (For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.)
Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.
Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:
- Technical reasons may prevent a move: a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
- Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
- A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
- Unregistered users and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will enact the request. If not, the request may be re-listed to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.
Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.
When not to use this page
Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:
- Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
- Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
- Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
- Moves from draft namespace or user space – (new/unconfirmed users only) add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
- Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.
Undiscussed moves
Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:
- No article exists at the new target title;
- There has been no discussion (especially no recent discussion) about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
- It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.
If you disagree with such a move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.
Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.
Requesting technical moves
If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct page if you tried to move a page, and you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:".
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

- To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new page title|reason=reason for move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page. - If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~.
- If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:
- there has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. For technical move requests, such as to correct obvious typographical errors, see Requesting technical moves. The technical moves procedure can also be used for uncontroversial moves when the requested title is occupied by an existing article.
Do not create a new move request when one is already open on the same talk page. Instead, consider contributing to the open discussion if you would like to propose another alternative. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Do not create a move request to rename one or more redirects. Redirects cannot be used as current titles in requested moves.
Requesting a single page move
To request a single page move, click on the "New section" tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|NewName|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
Replace NewName
with the requested new name of the page (or with a question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 24 August 2020" and sign the post for you.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the article:
Note: Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as Requests for comment, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Google Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topics.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article alerts to receive RM notifications. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts/Requested moves is transcluded to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. RMCD bot notifies many of the other Wikiprojects listed on the talk page of the article to be moved to invite project members to participate in the RM discussion. Requesters should feel free to notify any other Wikiproject or noticeboard that might be interested in the move request, as long as this notification is neutral.
Single page move on a different talk page
Occasionally, a move request must be made on a talk page other than the talk page of the page to be moved. For example, a request to rename Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates would need to take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation because the talk page of the project page to be moved, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, is a redirect to that centralized discussion page. In this type of case, the requested move should be made using the following code:
{{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}}
Note that the |1=
unnamed parameter is not used, and that the |current1=
and |new1=
parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
Requesting multiple page moves
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move
| new1 = New title for page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| current3 = Current title of page 3
| new3 = New title for page 3
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. 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
, and replace current2
with Wiki
. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at page 1 (Talk:Wikipedia
). Do not sign a request with ~~~~
as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.
Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace. For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is not itself proposed to be moved, specify |current1=Current title of page 1
for the first page to move.
Request all associated moves explicitly
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to move Cricket (disambiguation) to Cricket because you do not believe the sport is the primary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, both Cricket (disambiguation) and Cricket. Thus you must list proposed titles for each page affected by your request. For example, you might propose:
If a new title is not proposed for the sport, it is more difficult to achieve consensus for a new title for that article. A move request that does not show what to do with the material at its proposed target, such as:
is incomplete. As a malformed move request, it may be subject to early closure on procedural grounds.

Commenting on a requested move
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. There are a number of standards that Wikipedians should practice in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they write Support or Oppose in bold text, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.
'''Support'''
. - Comments or recommendations are added on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *) and signed by adding
~~~~
to the end. Responses to another editor are threaded and indented using multiple bullets. - The article itself should be reviewed before any recommendation is made; do not base recommendations solely on the information supplied by other editors. It may also help to look at the article's edit history. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior move requests. They may contain relevant arguments and useful information.
- Vested interests in the article should be disclosed per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Editors should make themselves familiar with the article titling policy at Wikipedia:Article titles.
- Other important guidelines that set forth community norms for article titles include Wikipedia:Disambiguation, specific naming conventions, and the manual of style.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations that are not sustained by arguments.
- Explain how the proposed article title meets or contravenes policy and guidelines rather than merely stating that it does so.
- Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line.[a]
- Do not make conflicting recommendations. If you change your mind, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <s> and </s> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider using a dispute resolution process.
Closing a requested move
Any uninvolved editor in good standing may close a move request. Please read the closing instructions for information on how to close a move request. The Simple guide to closing RM discussions details how to actually close a requested move discussion.
Relisting a requested move
Relisting a discussion moves the request out of the backlog up to the current day in order to encourage further input. The decision to relist a discussion is best left to uninvolved experienced editors upon considering, but declining, to close the discussion. In general, discussions should not be relisted more than once before properly closing.[b] Users relisting a debate which has already been relisted, or relisting a debate with a substantial discussion, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient to close. While there is no consensus forbidding participation in a requested move discussion after relisting it, many editors consider it an inadvisable form of supervote. If you want to relist a discussion and then participate in it, be prepared to explain why you think it was appropriate.
Relisting can be done using {{subst:relisting}}
, which automatically includes the relister's signature, and which must be placed at the very end of the initial request after the move requester's signature (and subsequent relisters' signatures). When a discussion has been relisted a bot partially underlines the "Discuss" link in the lists of debates: (Discuss).
When a relisted discussion reaches a resolution, it may be closed at any time according to the closing instructions; there is no required length of time to wait before closing a relisted discussion.
If discussion has become stale, or it seems that discussion would benefit from more input of editors versed in the subject area, consider more widely publicizing the discussion, such as by notifying WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.
Notes
- ^ A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement is transcluded into the list on this page.
- ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
Current discussions

- (Discuss) – Israeli involvement in the Syrian Civil War → Israel's role in the Syrian Civil War – Propose to rename this article to Israel's role in the Syrian Civil War to match Lebanon's role in the Syrian Civil War, as both were officially neutral in the conflict though both did execute military actions against specific Syrian factions on various occasions, while mostly engaging in humanitarian assistance. This RM proposal is a follwup to January 2018 proposal, which had failed to get sufficient discussion at the time. GreyShark (dibra) 20:02, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – WaterLoo (pub) → Puutorin Vessa – According to the article, the restaurant "will be opened" with the old name Puutorin Vessa once again in February 2019. February 2019 was a year and a half ago. The Finnish article is named fi:Puutorin Vessa. The restaurant doesn't seem to have a website of its own under either name, but it has an active Facebook page at "Puutorin Vessa" but not under "WaterLoo pub". I think it's safe to assume the current name is once again Puutorin Vessa. JIP | Talk 19:11, 16 August 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 19:19, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Operation Demetrius → Internment during the Troubles – Briefly discussed at #Background over ten years ago. Operation Demetrius was the military operation of 9–10 August 1971, plus presumably the interrogation of various suspects detailed in the article. Obviously this will still be covered in the article, but I believe it would be better slightly reframed to deal with the subject of internment during the Troubles, not just two-day the military operation in 1971. I do not favour Internment (Northern Ireland) as a title, as suggested in the old discussion. Although suspected IRA members were interned in Northern Ireland during the Northern campaign (Irish Republican Army) and the Border campaign (Irish Republican Army) the information available is not as comprehensive as internment during the Troubles, so would be best covered by a paragraph or three in a background section.

- (Discuss) – CX 6 SODRE → Clásica (Uruguayan radio station) – SODRE has not been a broadcasting organization since es:Radiodifusión Nacional del Uruguay split from it in 2015, so SODRE must be removed from these article titles. Like Argentina, Uruguay is a mixed call sign use country (all stations have calls but they are not important in station branding), and I believe that titling these national radio stations by name is more useful than by calls. Note that Clásica is disambiguated to avoid conflicting with Radio Clásica in Spain; another possible title is Radio Clásica (Uruguay).

- (Discuss) – Samuel Dickstein (politician) → Samuel Dickstein – Per pageviews and Google book results, this subject seems like the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in regards to the name "Samuel Dickstein" versus the subject at Samuel Dickstein (mathematician). (Note: The page currently at Samuel Dickstein is a disambiguation page with only two entries, so this move request would probably require that page to be deleted.)

- (Discuss) – Robert J. O'Neill → Robert O'Neill (Navy SEAL) – I know this article has been moved many times, but all of the reliable sources in the article (except the subject's own) refer to him as "Robert O'Neill" or occasionally "Rob O'Neill". The policy on article titles says that "Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable English-language sources) as such names will usually best fit the five criteria listed above." I've suggested a new target, but I'm not committed to that particulat parenthetical (though it's succinct and according to the article, "commonly known as Navy SEALs"); the template just required something be input. — Fourthords | =Λ= | 18:15, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Toy Story Midway Mania! → Toy Story Mania! – Now that two of the three locations dropped Midway from the name, it makes sense to use the more common name. This has also occurred on the Toy Story Land article, which was moved from Toy Story Playland since two of the then three announced lands were going to be named that. I'm requesting the move instead of being bold since it was previously discussed (albeit before Florida was renamed or Tokyo even opened). Elisfkc (talk) 17:59, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – COVID-19 pandemic → Coronavirus pandemic – While I realize this has had RMs before and I have proposed this when a different title has been suggested we don't appear to have had a RM to this title. Per main articles Coronavirus and Coronavirus disease 2019. "Coronavirus pandemic" gets about 123,000 results while "COVID-19 pandemic" only gets about 20,100 results at BBC. Worldometer calls it "COVID-19 CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC". "Coronavirus pandemic" On Google news gets about 141,000,000 while "COVID-19 pandemic" gets about 190,000,000 but indeed this could just be because its abbreviated similar to the fact that "Thames" gets about 8,440,000" while "River Thames" only gets about 220,000 yet the article is correctly at River Thames (with Thames redirecting there). COVID" is an acronym for "Coronavirus disease 2019" but unlike 9/11 conspiracy theories/September 11 attacks I'm not convinced that the shorter term is significantly more common to have it in this title (WP:NCA). While the analogy might not the the same with results for COVID-19 v Thames it does suggest that the full name is used at least often enough to prevent the abbreviation being the WP:COMMONNAME All the other sub articles like COVID-19 pandemic in Italy should be moved if this is moved. Although there have been other outbreaks of coronavirus this is the only pandemic and is clearly the primary topic anyway and the proposed title already redirects here. Yes we don't need 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic (or similar) per WP:PRECISE/WP:CONCISE the proposed title doesn't include any further description of the year (which would suggest that there were other coronavirus pandemics) but also avoids the abbreviation.

- (Discuss) – Valle de los Caídos → Valley of the Fallen – Our titling policy does not require us to use English language names, but does say to use the names most common in English language sources. The Valley of the Fallen is largely called by its English name in those reliable sources. In recent coverage surrounding Franco's exhumation, for example, English news stories were all using the English name, while a search for the current title brings up pretty much just Spanish language ones. The Spanish title is certainly also used in English sources, but less commonly so (it can be telling that, outside of the Spanish language sources in the reference section, our own article already chooses to mostly use the English title.

- (Discuss) – Nation (Bad Wolves album) → N.A.T.I.O.N. – Per our title policy, "When a name is almost never written except in a particular stylized form, use that form on Wikipedia." The current title is entirely unused in reliable sources. While discouraging stylizations when usage in reliable sources is not clear, our manual of style is also crystal clear that we should not use title styles that are unused in reliable sources. In fact, even for something as weird as special characters we are told to use them if are used in a "significant majority of reliable sources." Given that it's hard (if not nearly impossible) to find reliable sources using the current title, our policy is clear that the current one is unacceptable, failing our policies for recognizability, usage, and pretty much everything else. As our policy says, "do not "correct" the spelling, punctuation, diacritics, or grammar of trademarks to be different from anything found in reliable sources—the name should be recognizable as referring to the topic." As an encyclopedia that relies entirely on outside reliable sourcing, Wikipedia should not be using titles that are pretty much (if not entirely) only existing on Wikipedia itself. We lose credibility when we instead use titles that are entirely inconsistent with others. It reminds me of RZA, a page that because of overly strict misinterpretation of our stylization policy was for years at Rza, a title no one used, was less recognizable, and even our own article did not use because there was clear common sense it was not right.

In wikipedia, this trend has been expressed in recent years in the move from Đakovica to Gjakova, from Srbica to Skenderaj, from Uroševac to Ferizaj and other articles.

- (Discuss) – Cricket (insect) → Crickets in culture – An appropriate title perhaps, with interest in food and two meanings of the word "culture" :)? Further to the discussion of last year and the satisfactory (in my opinion) resolution of "Field cricket", I propose to split-off the taxobox and some of the biology in this article into a restored Gryllidae: as proposed (below) by Nessie. I primarily want to be sure that there are no serious objections to me doing this, appreciating that this would significantly reduce the size of what is considered a 'good article'.
From a taxonomic point of view the page is not good as it stands: placing the insect term "cricket" here at the family level has become increasingly obsolete and dysfunctional. The Phylogeny section needs updating, with yet another subfamily group removed - the Phalangopsinae are now in the restored family Phalangopsidae. In England "cricket (insect)" effectively means "Gryllidae", in Australia it seems to me that a species of cricket encountered in the bush is likely to belong to another family. I would suggest a sentence at the beginning of this page, along the lines of: "Crickets are insects most appropriately placed in the Orthopteran suborder Grylloidea, but can also include mole- and ant-crickets (infraorder Gryllidea).

Right now, this page redirects people to the page of the basketball player, but that doesn't make sense. And yes, I've read the arguments in the previous discussion... how he's a Hall of Fame inductee, and all of that... It's obvious that in America most people who say that name refer to the basketball player. However, you need to understand that for those who live outside America, him being a member of a basketball Hall of Fame is an equivalent of someone being a member of a water polo Hall of Fame. This page being directly of the basketball player is culturally biased, and as we live in an era when such biases are being challenged, I request that you view this from a neutral point of view, as Wikipedia obviously shouldn't represent the perception common only in one country.

An article simply named European Shooting Championships should therefore naturally be a disambiguation page. A better alternative would be to go back to the clear previous naming.

- (Discuss) – Template:No substitution → ? – These two opposite templates display a banner in template documentation to advise if the template should always or never be substituted. Until recently, they were named "nosubst" and "subst only". Recently, they were renamed "no substiution" and "substitute only", respectively. Then the latter only was reverted. The purpose of this discussion is to resolve the current inconsistency. There has been a recent trend to use natural spacing, thus "no subst*" over "nosubst*". The further question is whether to use the abbreviation "subst" or the full word. Bsherr (talk) 06:25, 24 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Steel1943 (talk) 00:12, 22 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Pilot → Pilot (disambiguation) – I'm going to go on a limb here and claim that the title Pilot should redirect to Piloting as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT association. It seems that both of the concepts in Aircraft pilot and Maritime pilot are subtopics of the concept at Piloting, and the concept of the navigation-sense of "pilot" holds more long-term significance than Television pilot, Pilot light, or any of the other concepts listed at the disambiguation page.

- (Discuss) – The B*tchelor → The Bitchelor – "The B*tchelor" is a censored version of "The Bitchelor". Sources use both. There are sources which use "The B*tchelor", but this is possibly because they prefer to use the censored version, or possibly because the graphic title card for the episode's challenge uses an eggplant emoji instead of the letter "i". However, I'm not seeing evidence "The B*tchelor" is the official title of the actual television episode. Additionally, Wikipedia is not censored, therefore I propose moving to "The Bitchelor". --Another Believer (Talk) 18:23, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Water dropwort → Oenanthe (plant) – WP:NCFLORA - The genus name Oenanthe is the most common, precise name used in reliable sources for this genus of plants. Members of the genus are also commonly known as water parsley and water celery. Several other plants are known as water dropwort, such as species in the related genera Oxypolis and Tiedemannia. Water dropwort should instead be a plant name set index page similar to dropwort, or perhaps water dropwort could just direct to dropwort. Hyperik ⌜talk⌟ 17:25, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – WE Charity controversy → WE Charity Scandal – Hi there! As I outlined on the talk page to an earlier response, I believe the term 'scandal' is now more fitting than 'controversy'. Firstly, the majority of major news outlets have now started to use the term WE Charity Scandal to refer to the event: https://globalnews.ca/news/7288867/we-charity-scandal-liberal-support/ https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/tories-say-they-want-full-truth-of-we-charity-scandal-out-before-next-election-1.5070561 https://nationalpost.com/opinion/matt-gurney-finally-the-truth-behind-the-we-scandal-it-doesnt-look-good-for-the-liberals https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53494560 I originally supported the use of the term controversy as it contains less potential bias than scandal and when the page was written not all the facts had come to light; however, given the term scandal is now more commonly used by major media sources, the revelations that have since come to light, and the subsequent consequences i.e. the resignation of the Finance Minister and the abrupt prorogation of Parliament, the term scandal is now more fitting.

- (Discuss) – Hassan Ali Khayre → Hassan Ali Khaire – The correct last name of this person is Khaire, not Khayre as the page title uses.

Furthermore, this Al Jazeera English article, and this World Bank article also use the proposed last name. Daljir (talk) 14:19, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Some thoughts: * List of conditions ending in -itis * List of inflammed body parts *

- (Discuss) – Yukika Teramoto → Yukika (singer) – She has gone by Yukika professionally for nearly 2 years. While she has a lot of credits under her old name, her Korean idol career is her most consistent project in years and, as a result, she is mostly known under that name.. A good example of a foreigner changing their professional name after leaving one industry to go into the Korean idol industry where they are now more known under their new professional name is ViVi whose article is under her new professional name. I think it would make sense to give Yukika the same treatment, but I'm also new to being a Wikipedia editor, so I'm not sure and would like extra input.

, and it is true thatreaders somewhat familiar with the subject are likely to only recognise the name by its acronym
—see WP:ACRONYMTITLE, as well as the similarly titled articles API, HTML, USB, and HDMI. See also Google Ngrams. Note also that the proposed new title, CSS, already redirects to this article. Mz7 (talk) 03:53, 21 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – House of Representatives (Australia) → Australian House of Representatives – At this title as the result of a move request, which was inappropriate given that a previous discussion on this page had not resulted in consensus for that move.

- (Discuss) – Leopoldo O'Donnell, 1st Duke of Tetuán → Leopoldo O'Donnell – These are some of those situations where the WP:OBE exceptions apply:
Peers who are almost exclusively known by their personal names
. English-language sources and contemporary Spanish-sources tend to refer to those under their names rather than under their nobiliary titles (which, should be noted, were awarded to them after becoming prime ministers and after having already become notable on their own right). Would be a similar case to Baldomero Espartero in that the titles were a reward for the actions that made them become widely-known, rather than the reason making these people notable.

- (Discuss) – Sánchez II Government → Second government of Pedro Sánchez – As per WP:COMMONNAME (with the issue of recognizability being the most important here), WP:NATURAL and WP:PRECISE, with the due required respect to WP:NCCAPS and the WP naming convention on government agencies which, while not of direct application (as these are not proper government departments or agencies), can serve as a general guideline for clarification. *Some context: For a long time, government/cabinet articles have been entirely absent of any specific naming conventions in Wikipedia, leading to a wide range of different choices for naming those that were typically left at the users' leisure. The main differences revolve on capitalization, numbering format and syntax, with the three most common formats currently at use throughout the wiki being reflected in this discussion earlier this year attempting to seek a consensus on the issue (which ultimately went nowhere because of failing to gain attention, meaning this must be addressed in a case-by-case basis). At the time, I was more supportive of the [Head of government] [ordinal number] [government/cabinet/ministry] format (i.e. the one that is currently in use for the articles whose move is now requested), but it has several problems, of which two are the most concerning ones: 1. it is not natural spelling, so while it can be very useful as an actual proper name for use when brevity is required (tables, templates and infoboxes) it is unlikely to be the title that readers will look the most for those articles. And 2. (and the one ultimately leading me to change my view) is that of precision: using only surnames paves the way for a lot of confusion to unfold, both at the national level (i.e. the governments of Felipe González and Antonio González; José María Aznar and Juan Bautista Aznar-Cabañas; Pedro Sánchez and Vicente Sancho; Bernardino Fernández de Velasco, Fernando Fernández de Córdova and Raimundo Fernández-Villaverde) and at the regional one (Felipe González and Ignacio González; Patxi López and Joaquín María López y López; the aforementioned Fernández ones and Javier Fernández/Guillermo Fernández Vara/Alfonso Fernández Mañueco; etc.). This not counting other Spanish-speaking countries where surnames such as "García", "Sánchez", "Fernández", "González", etc. are also common and can lead to conflicts at an international scale. Even if the second surname was forced into the title for disambiguation, it could lead to further issues if the individual is not well-known under that second surname (i.e. Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón, José María Aznar López) and if the overall title ends up looking cluttered by a random aggregation of ordinal numbers, surnames and overall syntax. *Premise: The purpose of this move request is to help bring some order and coherence to the disorganized scope of government/cabinet naming by presenting articles on Spanish national governments under a more natural, recognizable, professional-looking and overall polished syntax that is also respectful of sources (for Spanish governments, these usually use the word "government" together with its identification to the incumbent prime minister at the time. Articles for governments in some countries use the [Ordinal number] [government/cabinet/ministry] of [Head of government/country/legislature] format (Second cabinet of Jóhanna Sigurðardóttir, Government of the 32nd Dáil, Second cabinet of Aleksandar Vučić, First Cabinet of Cyril Ramaphosa, Thirty-fifth government of Israel, Sixth Labour Government of New Zealand), as opposed to the Fourth Merkel cabinet/Second May ministry format which does not body well with the Spanish-speaking world system of surnames because of the aforementioned problems. As a result, the proposal is to change the titles of the aforementioned Spanish national governments to the "
[Ordinal number] government of [the prime minister's common name]
" format and capitalized with respect to WP:NCCAPS, in the way that has been requested. In the event that only one government was formed by any given person (such as Leopoldo Calvo-Sotelo) then no ordinal would be required.

"Sock puppet" seems to be more common than "sockpuppet" in Google Scholar results by a wide margin, no matter how I adjust the search terms to remove toy references. Adding "account" ensures that the title is clearly about the internet-based topic and not cloth hand puppets (sock puppet). Using (internet)/(Internet) kind of implies that sock puppets are a type of internet. Alternative titles like verb forms ("sockpuppetry", "sock puppeting") could still be confused with the toy puppet. -- Netoholic @ 20:20, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Ishtar being more prevailing is also reflected on Google Scholar (which gives Inanna 19,900 hits and Ishtar 30,300 hits). Inanna is the deity's original Sumerian name but Ishtar is more prevailing, both in academia and elsewhere. Unless Ishtar be made a separate article again (as it was until 2018), the article title, as per Wikipedia naming policy, should be Ishtar. Ichthyovenator (talk) 21:22, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Albert Lutuli → Albert Luthuli – WP:COMMONNAME. Albert Luthuli was moved to Albert Lutuli (without the h) a couple of years ago, however Albert Luthuli (with the "h") is the most prevalent spelling of his name and also the correct spelling of his name. There is no doubt that Luthuli preferred the spelling "Lutuli," but it's not like he heavily advocated for its use. In his own autobiography "Let My People Go" he uses the spelling Luthuli instead of the "favored" Lutuli. This led me to believe he preferred Lutuli because it was phonetically correct rather than Luthuli which has a silent "h" in the name, which is common in South African languages. I imagine it was important for it to be phonetically correct so it would be easier for foreigners to pronounce and spell the name, as Luthuli was a popular well-travelled man outside of South Africa. Anyways, "Albert Luthuli" has more Google search results, Google scholar results, and Google Ngram results when compared to "Albert Lutuli." Iamawesomeautomatic (talk) 19:41, 18 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Peć → Peja – Hi. I have never edited on Wikipedia, so excuse any lack of familiarity with the common practices in place in this community. I take note of the previous arguments against changing the name of this page, which hinge on the claim that Peć is more common in English usage. Some users have used Google results to claim this, however this seems to produce inconclusive results, sometimes skewing to one side, sometimes to another. In any case, it seems to me there are at least six good reasons to change the page name to Peja. 1) All other major cities in Kosovo are titled by their Albanian names, except Pristina. Gjakova, Ferizaj, Gjilan are in Albanian. Of course, Peć sees more English usage than Đakovica, Uroševac and Gnjilane, which is an argument against this reasoning. However, one should consider the matter of naming consistency across the territory of Kosovo. 2) The municipal government English language website, as well as documents issued from the municipality in English, all call the city either Pejë or Peja, and the Municipality either the Municipality of Pejë or the Municipality of Peja. As the article states, it is about the municipality. Municipal website: https://kk.rks-gov.net/peje/en/[1]. Example document issued by the municipality https://kk.rks-gov.net/peje/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2020/08/B05-Njoftim-per-Kontrat-2-1-1-1.pdf[2]. (See p. 2, which refers to the "Municipality of Peja".) I realize some have argued that official names do not constitute common usage. However, since there is no clear consensus, for example in Google results, as to which name is more commonly used in English, it makes more sense to take official names into account, as well as common practice with other Kosovar cities. 3) As many have pointed out, the use of diacritics is not preferred by English speakers. This has the effect that if one searches "Pec" (without the ć), one is referred to a disambiguation page. Same goes for "Pejë", "Peje" or "Peja". Therefore, for English speakers (who presumably do not have access to the letter ć or ë on their keyboards, all possible spellings currently lead to a disambiguation page. This could be confusing to many users, and is clearly not desirable. To avoid this, Peja is the most neutral and easily typed English spelling. 4) For what it's worth, most tourist websites and tourist materials for the city, seem to refer to it as Peja. 5) Some have argued that since the Germany page is not titled Deutschland, and the Belgrade is not titled Beograd, then this page should also not be called Peja, just because it is official. However the first example, Germany, is a native English exonym for the country, and is not comparable to Peć, which is the Serbian name for the city, adopted into English after the Balkan Wars. Prior to this the English name was based on the Turkish name for the city, Ipek.[3][4]. As for Belgrade, this name has been in English usage and is undisputed, while the case of Peja/Pejë v. Peć is both disputed and there is no clear preference in English usage. Therefore, the argument that official usage (in English language municipal documents, for example) is irrelevant, is strange. Notwithstanding the usage of Pejë/Peja by, as an example, Britannica [5], because there is no clear English language preference, the official usage of the municipality (which this page is about) should be considered, and would be most neutral. 6) It is used, for example, by the Encyclopædia Britannica[6], which on the naming convention page[7], is listed as a sources for "widely accepted names".

- (Discuss) – Shannons Nationals Motor Racing Championships → CAMS National Racing Championships – I am making this request on behalf of Sparkle1 who boldly made these moves which I reverted and who has indicated they would like to take to RM. I will of course allow Sparkle1 to make their own arguments in favour of these moves. I myself oppose these moves. There is no policy or convention dictating me must not include sponsor names. I feel that WP:COMMONNAME applies. The proposed names are quite novel in that they simply aren't used by reliable sources (or at all) except for the first few years of these championships (before 2007). The name most widely used in the past was simply "Shannons Nationals", eg Speedcafe: [25], [26] (and note this article which suggests that CAMS wasn't involved for some time prior to 2016); Autoaction: [27] (I don't believe their online news goes back far enough for articles from 2012-14). However I would prefer new titles rather than keeping the existing ones, namely moving the 2012-14 articles to 201X Shannons Nationals season, per WP:COMMONNAME, and moving the main article to Motorsport Australia Championships since although the article needs updating, the series has been renamed as of 2020 [28].

- (Discuss) – Ikimono-gakari → Ikimonogakari – I know this article's naming issue has already been discussed in the past, but it seems that since then the band has cemented the non-hyphenated Ikimonogakari as the official romanization, with some examples being: *The band's official website which features the romanization IKIMONOGAKARI at the top (https://ikimonogakari.com/) *The band's official Spotify page (https://open.spotify.com/artist/5YneEA2nLtAhkD5t2769lZ?si=KEUyYaQ9SayYqnqzNTc_Dw) *Recent appearances such as this special on Japan's J-Wave radio channel (https://www.j-wave.co.jp/holiday/20200810/) *Merchandise such as the Hajimari no Uta booklet or FUN! FUN! FANFARE! CD which display the band's name as IKIMONOGAKARI but I sadly cannot link to. In short, I believe per MOS:JAPAN, the article's title should be moved to reflect the change in the band's official romanization usage.

- (Discuss) – Fuel dispenser → Gas pump – See Discussion just above at #Title. There is no policy basis for the current name. Yes, there are regional differences for the most common name. The way we resolve such situations is not by choosing a name that is not common to any region, but by choosing the most common name in the variant originally established in the article. See WP:TITLEVAR and MOS:RETAIN. In this case the article was created using North American English (Gas pump [35]) and the first non-stub version was still using Gas pump. The change to Fuel dispenser was only made years later by an IP without explanation. The ngram counter results are telling. Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:RECOGNIZE ("Use commonly recognizable names": gas pump is commonly recognizable; fuel dispenser is not), WP:TITLEVAR and MOS:RETAIN the Gas pump title of this article should be restored instead of staying at the obscure "Fuel dispenser" term which is arguably unrecognizable.

"Jeanne d'Évreux" appears to be most common but is used mainly in connection with the Hours of Jeanne d'Evreux. The name "Joan of Évreux" seems to be strongly preferred in English-language history books, including those by historians Kathryn Warner, Elizabeth Hallam-Smith, and Jonathan Sumption.

- (Discuss) – Mecca Region → Makkah Province – Given that this article is about the Saudi administrative division, I believe the spelling and naming should conform to that which is being used by the Saudi government:
Province, not Region: As such, the website of the Saudi Arabian Ministry of Interior, which maintains a comprehensive list of the emirates/provinces and other sectors within the scope of the ministry, uses the name Emirate of Makkah Province.[2] My understanding is that the Saudi government, in addition to the ministry, refers to the geographic region as province and the administrative division as emirate and that the article needs to reflect this.
Makkah, not Mecca: In addition to the fact that the aforementioned website of the Ministry of Interior uses the name Makkah Province,[3] Google Ngram Viewer shows that the name Makkah Province is almost 6 times more prevalent in usage than Mecca Region.[4]
Conclusion: In the case this request is approved, I believe the same changes should be applied to all articles concerning the provinces of Saudi Arabia.

- (Discuss) – Israel–United Arab Emirates peace agreement → Israel–United Arab Emirates agreement – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONCISE, the title should not include the word "peace". Most sources do not refer to this as a "peace treaty", because that is not what it is. The normal definition of peace treaty requires a prior state of war, which these two states have never had. There is an element of stereotyping in assuming that because the country is Arab, it must have previously been an enemy of Israel. See International recognition of Israel - would people call an agreement between Israel and Venezuela a "peace agreement"?! Of course a number of media outlets, and the US President on Twitter, have called this a peace treaty – perhaps because it is more catchy / politically impactful. But most media outlets have not made that mistake – the vast majority of sources for this topic call it simply an "agreement", and it is technically an "accord".

- (Discuss) – 1889–1890 flu pandemic → 1889–1890 pandemic – We should consider whether it is appropriate to have "flu" in the title, as it have been suggested that the pandemic was caused not by influenza, but by a coronavirus. The strongest evidence in favor of this hypothesis is the 2005 article from Vijgen et. al., while the newer Danish results should be given very little weight, as it has yet to be published. See also these news articles on the topic: [43][44]. For me, the critical question is what the larger scientific community's stand is on this. Do they consider it established that this was an influenza pandemic, with the Vijgen et al. article a challenger to the established claim? Or do they consider the question unresolved, with some things pointing in the direction of an influenza (the historical position), and some newer results in the direction of a coronavirus? I think others are better to assess this than me. ― Hebsen (talk) 10:15, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Biuro Szyfrów → Cipher Bureau (Poland) – It's the English Wikipedia, use English terms when possible. Proposed new title lets the user see what the article is about when they access it or see it in a list. An earlier informal discussion in 2006 ended in a 2-2 tie, but one editor argued that "We typically use the name of organisations in their own language: Direction Générale de la Sécurité Extérieure, B-Dienst, Bundesnachrichtendienst etc...", but two of those three articles have seen been renamed to English, so that argument doesn't appear to apply anymore. I suppose things have changed since 2006, which was a long time ago. This Google Ngram seems odd since use of either term seems to start only in 1970. I suppose nobody wrote about the organization in English til the Ultra info started to come out. Anyway, if the Ngram is accurate, it shows "Polish Cipher Bureau" usually ahead of "Biuro Szyfrów" and "Biuro Szyfrow" combined, by a bit. And that's not considering how many of the generic "Cipher Bureau" references are to the Polish Cipher Bureau -- surely some, and maybe a lot. (We could rename the article to just "Cipher Bureau" since there's no article by that name. However, that's silly; the single additional word "Polish" places the entity in much better context when encountered here or in a list, and is thus a service to the reader. Template {{EnigmaSeries}} names the link to this article this way, rather than the head-scratcher "Cipher Bureau". "Polish Cipher Bureau" would be OK too. Count me out of supporting any rename to just "Cipher Bureau".) Herostratus (talk) 13:36, 2 August 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. OhKayeSierra (talk) 20:55, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 70th Anniversary Grand Prix → 2020 70th Anniversary Grand Prix – There is a uniform name schema for individual World Championship race articles: "YEAR NAME Grand Prix". As was already agreed above, the "NAME" in this case is "70th Anniversary", as it indeed serves as a single semantic entity and can't be broken into "70th" and "Anniversary" without changing its meaning. So unlike some claims made in various recent discussions, the "70th" part can't serve as a substitute for the year (or indeed for the ordinal number of the particular race in a series, as in e.g. "2º Gran Premio di San Marino", which it is not in this case) even if it sort of uniquely identifies the season. I say "sort of" because even the year/season could be arrived at by different means as either 2019 (70th running of the World Championship) or 2020 (70th anniversary of the first WC race, as indeed intended by the FIA here). There is no reason to deviate from this standard race article naming schema – as we use it on Wikipedia even for true one-off races (like Styrian or Tuscan this year). And additionally, even the official name of this 70th Anniversary Grand Prix doesn't omit the year ("Emirates Formula 1 70th Anniversary Grand Prix 2020"). So to summarize, there are three good reasons to stick to the standard naming convention: to maintain uniformity among the related article names; to avoid any confusion as to the year/season where any confusion could be easily avoided in the first place by explicitly stating the year; and to take into account that even the official name includes the year of the running. cherkash (talk) 08:16, 19 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

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

- (Discuss) – Religious profession → Religious professions in Catholicism – While this article is only linked to my what appear to be Catholic institutions, a "religious profession" in itself is not Catholic, and is rather synonymous with a creed. This move reflects that this article only is relevant to the Catholic tradition and frees up the article space to redirect to creed instead, as again, a profession of religious adherence and a creed are really quite synonymous.

- (Discuss) – Gaddi → Gaddis – I don't see a primary topic between this ethnic group, the other ethnic group with the same name, their language, and the other (themselves probably more obscure) topics listed on the dab page. I don't have an opinion on whether Gaddis is better than Gaddi people: there was an objection to the first term in a 2009 move, but the form appears to be common, and it's used by the article's sources as well as by the article itself. – Uanfala (talk) 18:14, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Turkish capture of Smyrna → Liberation of Smyrna – First of all, liberation is opposite to an occupation. As the title Liberation of Paris, this article should moved to Liberation of Smyrna. The city was occupied then liberated.

When one holder of a title is overwhelmingly the best known
), to the point that he is even referred under the shortened "Romanones" nickname. The proposed title has been a redirect to the main article since 2007, so there's quite a lot of stability in the in-wiki use of the title as well. Impru20talk 16:30, 11 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – History of Malta under the Order of Saint John → Hospitaller Malta – The proposed name Hospitaller Malta (currently a redirect) would make more sense as a common name than the current title of History of Malta under the Order of Saint John which is rather long. The term "Hospitaller Malta" is used in books, eg. Hospitaller Malta 1530–1798, Hospitaller Malta and the Mediterranean Economy in the Sixteenth Century and it is also used in academic contexts, eg. this course title at the University of Malta. The same would apply to History of Rhodes under the Order of Saint John which can be moved to Hospitaller Rhodes, a term which is also used in literature eg. The Countryside Of Hospitaller Rhodes 1306–1423. Xwejnusgozo (talk) 18:40, 1 August 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 02:34, 10 August 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Wings of Fire (novel series) → Wings of Fire – The novel series seems significantly more popular than the autobiography, so it should be the primary topic instead. In a Google search for "Wings of Fire", the first three pages of results are exclusively about this series. I think this is pretty clear-cut, but in the event that it's not, my second choice would be to say that there is no primary topic and move Wings of Fire (disambiguation) there instead.

- (Discuss) – Ohrdruf, Thuringia → Ohrdruf – Contextless (that is, without referring to WWII, holocaust, concentration camps, etc), "Ohrdruf" generally refers to the town.

- (Discuss) – Mališevo → Malisheva – This move is requested in coordination with WP:Common Name and WP:Place#Multiple_local_names. Background: Since Kosovo has two official languages (Albanian and Serbian) every place in Kosovo has an Albanian and a Serbian name. We have no official name and no name where both languages are commonly included like Biel/Bienne. Based on the policies presented above we have to choose either the Albanian or the Serbian name based on common usage in English sources. Until now we have the Serbian version which should be changed. Some search engine results: Google Books Ngram Viewer 2008-2019: * [47] Here we can see that Malisheva was always more used than Mališevo. After 2016 we can also see that Malisheva even took over Malisevo without the "š". Google search analysis: * [48] 445,000 results for Malisheva +Kosovo -Wikipedia * [49] 50,500 results for Malisevo +Kosovo -Wikipedia * [50] 200,000 results Mališevo +Kosovo -Wikipedia Google scholar 2015-2019: * [51] 73 results for Malisheva Kosovo * [52] 21 results for Malisevo Kosovo * [53] 21 results for Mališevo Kosovo Conclusion: The search engine results clearly show us that Malisheva is the common English name. Some side facts: * The population of Kosovo is of 92 % Albanian and 4 % Serbian ethnicity. * The municipality of Malisheva (according to the census of 2011) [54] has a poulation of 54,631 of which 54,501 (99,8 %) decleared themselves as Albanians and literally not a single person decleared himself a Serb.

- (Discuss) – Great Mosque of Mecca → al-Masjid al-Haram – These are the multiple reasons why I think the name should be reverted to Al-Masjid al-Haram or similar:
A. The Al-Masjid an-Nabawi article:
The aforementioned article concerning the Prophet’s Mosque uses the Arabic name for its title, as do most other articles about mosques on Wikipedia.
B. Google Ngram Viewer and the popularity of Al-Masjid Al-Haram and other forms
Wikipedia recommends using Google Books Ngram Viewer to support move claims per WP:RM. Given this, Ngram Viewer shows that the name Masjid al-Haram is more than 3.5x more prevalent in usage than both Great Mosque of Mecca and Grand Mosque of Mecca individually, and around 2x more popular than both combined. In addition, Google Trends shows that the names Masjid al-Haram, Masjid Al Haram and Al Masjid Al Haram, combined, are 13x more popular in searches on Google than Great Mosque of Mecca and Grand Mosque of Mecca combined, on average.
C. Concerning the previous name change
I believe the previous name change was made hastily and inconsiderably. The main concern of the person suggesting the previous name change was a violation of WP:CONCISENESS, however, I believe that the current name violates WP:PRECISION, WP:CONSISTENCY and WP:CONCISENESS, and, albeit to a much smaller degree, WP:RECOGNIZABILITY.

- (Discuss) – Death of Neda Agha-Soltan → Shooting of Neda Agha-Soltan – The usual convention for articles on Wikipedia that are about deaths by shooting is "Shooting of" (unless they are clearly murder and are called "Murder of"). This is consistent across many articles – see the consistent naming pattern of the large number of articles in Category:People shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United States, Category:People shot dead by law enforcement officers in Canada, Category:People shot dead by law enforcement officers in Australia, Category:People shot dead by law enforcement officers in Thailand, Category:People shot dead by law enforcement officers in Germany, and similar categories for most other countries. This has been supported by recent consensus in several RM discussions, including the recent multi-article RMs at Talk:Shooting of Roni Levi, Talk:Shooting of Sammy Yatim , Talk:Shooting of Breonna Taylor, and Talk:Shooting of Atatiana Jefferson, and also single-page RM discussions at Talk:Shooting of Chaiyaphum Pasae, Talk:Shooting of Benno Ohnesorg, and Talk:Shooting of Yoshihiro Hattori. —BarrelProof (talk) 22:51, 2 July 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – The Star of Cottonland → Wata no Kunihoshi – In the fan community, "The Star of Cottonland" is (by far) the most common title. This is likely due to one or more fansubs available for the anime film based on the manga. However, I can find no scholarly or other reliable sources that use "The Star of Cottonland". Rachel Thorn, an established expert on manga, asked about the current title in the section above, so I started looking to see what I could find. Within the books I have on manga and anime, only two mention the title (as far as I could find...I was scanning the indices and may have missed something). *The Anime Encyclopedia (revised and expanded edition), by Jonathan Clements and Helen McCarthy, has an entry on page 113 for the same-titled anime film under the title "Cotton Star". It also has a romanized "Wata no Kuniboshi" (the "boshi" part is incorrect, based on the original manga) and an alternate translation of "Planet of Cotton". *Anime: A Guide to Japanese Animation (1958-1988), by Andrea Baricordi, Massimiliano de Giovanni, Andrea Pietroni, Barbara Rossi, and Sabrina Tunesi, has an entry for the anime film on page 161. It uses the titles Wata no Kuni Boshi (the "boshi" again being incorrect according to the original manga) and a translated title of The Planet of the Cotton Country. I did find an academic paper titled "The Invalidation of Gender in Girls' Manga Today, with a Special Focus on 'Nodame Cantabile'", by Masuko Honda, Lucy Fraser, and Tomoko Aoyama. It requires JStor access, which I have, but not at this location. It mentions the manga, and I'll look it up once I get where I can check the full paper. This is the only academic paper I've found that mentions it. I can't find it any other books I have or in any that are on Google Books (outside of one that collects a bunch of anime and manga articles from Wikipedia). So, the question everyone is: What title should this article be at? I suggest that it should be at Wata no Kunihoshi as that is the Romanization of the original Japanese title. Any mention of The Star of Cottonland should be in brief and we should keep the redirect from that title.

- (Discuss) – Han Hye-jin (actress) → Han Hye-jin – Han Hye-jin redirects here. Either this article should be moved back to the base title, or Han Hye-jin should be made back into a disambiguation page.

However, the names of these articles are self-redundant, since the Donalds, etc. are all Scottish by definition. The other lists of Scottish mountains and hills are also self-redundant. The proposals advanced here align with those for the categories of English mountains and hills, except that all the pages require disambiguators to clarify that they're mountains and not people. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 13:12, 27 June 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

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