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 our article titling policy and our 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, such as when a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or if the page to be moved is protected from moves. In these circumstances, administrator help is required to move a page, see below: § Requesting technical moves.
- A title may be subject to dispute, and discussion may be necessary in order to reach consensus, see below: § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. It is not always necessary to use the requested move process in these circumstances: one option is to start an informal discussion at the article's talk page instead.
- Unregistered users and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users do not have the capability to move pages. They must request moves using this process.
Most move requests are processed by a group of regular contributors who are familiar with Wikipedia naming conventions, non-binding precedents, and page moving procedures. Requests are generally processed after seven days, although backlogs often develop. If there is a clear consensus after this time, or if the requested move is uncontroversial or technical, the request will be closed and acted upon. If not, the closer may choose to re-list the request to allow more time for consensus to develop, or close it as "no consensus". For the processes involved in closing requests, performing moves, and cleaning up after moves, see Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions. For a list of all processed moves, see Special:Log/move.
The Move review process can be used to contest a move. It is designed to evaluate a contested close of a move discussion to determine if the close was reasonable, or whether it was inconsistent with the spirit and intent of Wikipedia common practice, policies, or 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. - 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
Anyone can be bold and move a page without discussing it first and gaining an explicit consensus on the talk page. If you consider such a move to be controversial, 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
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete the move, request it below.
- To list a technical request, go to the bottom of this section that you are reading right now; edit the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests; insert the following code at the top:
-
{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|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 it to the Contested technical requests section. Add a note saying "Moved by..." and add your signature with ~~~~.
- If your technical request is contested by another editor, please remove it from the contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting potentially controversial moves.
- Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:
-
{{db-move|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for move-->}}
- This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. → Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. (move (@subpage)) – Per WP:JR, no-comma is preferred. – Dicklyon (talk) 16:32, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. → Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (move (@subpage)) – Per WP:JR, no-comma is preferred. – Dicklyon (talk) 16:32, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- List of HDB towns and estates → New towns of Singapore (move (@subpage)) – A bold move was done (twice), but it is contested. Requesting to return article to long term WP:STATUSQUO until discussions resolve – Lemongirl942 (talk) 16:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. In particular, use this process before moving any existing page with incoming links to create a disambiguation page at that title. For technical move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see Requesting technical moves.
Do not put more than one open move request on the same article talk page, because this is not supported by the bot that handles updates to this page. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Requesting a single page move
(To propose moving more than one page—for example, moving a disambiguation page in order to move another page to that title—see "Requesting multiple page moves" below.)
To request a single page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you want moved, using this format:
{{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 present Google Books or Google News Archive results before providing other web results. Do not sign this.}}
Replace NewName
with the requested new name of the page (or with a question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). Leave the Subject/headline blank, as the template automatically creates the heading "Requested move 16 April 2016". Do not sign a request with ~~~~
as the template does this automatically. The template must be substituted.
Use the code |talk=yes
to add separate locations for survey and discussion.
Note: Unlike certain other request processes on Wikipedia, such as RFC, nominations need not be neutral. Strive to make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Ngrams and pageview statistics) and make reference to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topic. After the nomination has been made, nominators may nevertheless add a separate bullet point to support their nomination, but should add "as nominator" (for example, * '''Rename, as nominator''': ...
). Most nominators, however, simply allow the nomination itself to indicate what their opinion is. Nominators may also participate in the discussion along with everyone else, and often should.
RMCD bot notifies any Wikiproject 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.
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).
{{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 default to Google Books or Google News Archive before providing any web results. Do not sign this.}}
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia
and Wiki
, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia
, and replace current2
with Wiki
. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at page 1 (Talk:Wikipedia
). Do not sign a request with ~~~~
as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.

Commenting in a requested move
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. It is a place for rational discussion of whether an article should be renamed.
There are a number of practices that most Wikipedians use in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they usually do so in bold text, e. g., "Support" or "Oppose".
- Start comments or recommendations on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *), and sign them by adding ~~~~ to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs, making sure it is indented (using multiple *s).
- Please disclose whether you have a vested interest in the article, per WP:AVOIDCOI.
- Please have a look at the article before making a recommendation. Do not base your recommendation solely on the information supplied by the nominator or other editors. To understand the situation, it may also help to look at the history of the article. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior Requested Moves. They may contain relevant arguments and further useful information.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Ideally editors should be familiar with WP:Article titles, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and WP:MOS (among others) which sets forth community norms for article titles.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations on the course of action to be taken that are not sustained by arguments.
- When making your case or responding to others, explain how the proposed article title meets/violates 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.
- Do not make conflicting recommendations; if you change your mind, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one. The recommended way of doing this is to use strike-through by enclosing a retracted statement between <s> and </s> after the *, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Also, just a reminder that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but valid arguments will be given more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers arguments or evidence that do not explain how the proposed article title meets/violates policy, they may only need a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion. But a pattern of 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 a dispute resolution process outside the current Requested Move process.
Closing instructions
Any uninvolved editor in good standing may close a move request, and more closers of move requests are needed, but there are certain procedures that need to be followed. Please read our closing instructions for information on how to close a move request.
Relisting
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. 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 WP: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 also signs it automatically, and is placed at the very end of the initial request (after their signature, and subsequent re-listers 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 to notify relevant WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}}. Applicable WikiProjects can often be determined by means of the banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request.
Current discussions
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
This list is also available in a page-link-first format.
April 16, 2016
- (Discuss) – Joint Test Action Group → JTAG – Return this article to its previous name of JTAG. User:Kbrose recently moved this article from JTAG to Joint Test Action Group. The move seems confusing because JTAG is usually about the TAP and boundary scan protocols rather than the association. The TAP/protocols are known as "JTAG" and not "Joint Test Action Group". The article mentions both the TAP/protocols and the association, but the emphasis is on the TAP/protocols rather than the association. * There is a Joint Test Action Group; it is an association that created the boundary scan specification. The association uses the acronym/initialism JTAG. * The association created the IEEE specification known as "1149.1-1990 - IEEE Standard Test Access Port and Boundary-Scan Architecture". That specification is about particular hardware and protocols for that hardware. The specification has become known as JTAG. In other words, the WP:COMMONNAME of the specification is JTAG and is distinct from the association. The two are distinct. When I hear "Joint Test Action Group", I think of the association rather than the TAP/procotols. Glrx (talk) 20:07, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – UK.PROJECT → UK Project – Refer to MOS:TM if this pass the requirement. j3j3j3...pfH0wHz 18:10, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – TOTALFAT → Totalfat – Refer to MOS:TM if this pass the requirement. j3j3j3...pfH0wHz 18:09, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of awards and nominations received by Mario → List of awards and nominations received by Mario (American singer) – When I first looked at the article title, I thought that this was a list of awards and nominations received by Mario. SSTflyer 15:36, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – My Little Pony: Equestria Girls (franchise) → My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – The first EQG film (along with its sequels) is a by-product of Hasbro's spin-off toy line and franchise (that spun out of My Little Pony) after all. Let's arrange articles like (Mattel's) Monster High articles. JSH-alive/talk/cont/mail 12:45, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Doc Gallows → Luke Gallows – He currently uses the name Luke Gallows in WWE 2602:306:8370:9D70:FD64:2C67:6FA5:C12E (talk) 08:19, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Mama Said Knock You Out → Mama Said Knock You Out (album) – Somehow, the stats that I provided in last RM seems different from what the stats supposed to be at that time. Looking at the last 90 days, there is no way that, despite high stat numbers, the album is more popular and more significant than the rap song itself. The album had singles, but the song inspired pop culture to make reference to the song itself. Also, the dabpage has episodes whose title of the same name is based on the song itself. Consensus opposed the proposal in last RM, but I believe consensus can change. George Ho (talk) 08:03, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Prince Hailing of Jin → Wanyan Liang – The name "Prince Hailing of Jin" is a misnomer. "Hailing" referred to a princedom under the Jin dynasty that was posthumously awarded to Wanyan Liang. Therefore, he should be referred to as the "Prince of Hailing (of the Jin dynasty)" – in the same way as we refer to Prince William as the "Duke of Cambridge (of the United Kingdom)" instead of "Duke Cambridge". More accurately, it should be the "Prince Yang of Hailing (of the Jin dynasty)" (海陵煬王) because the posthumous name (諡號) given to him was "Yang" (煬). However, since this title is too long and complicated, I suggest we simply refer to him by his sinicised personal name "Wanyan Liang". Alternatively, we can use his Jurchen personal name "Wanyan Digunai". Either of these will do. As a side note, the Chinese Wikipedia uses "Wanyan Liang". LDS contact me 07:33, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Bombardier Movia C951 → ? – Reason given by previous mover is invalid and unsourced. Bombardier Transportation and Changchun Bombardier (joint venture of CNR Changchun and Bombardier Transportation are two distinct entities. This is indicated in the sources provided. The title should be reverted to "Changchun Bombardier Movia C951" to reflect this, in line with other Singapore MRT rolling stock which has stuck to this convention. Mailer Diablo 06:49, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of people who have been quoted as having used Wikipedia → Wikipedia:Celebrities who have been quoted as having used Wikipedia – This page was moved to mainspace as a result of the discussion above between 4 editors, in which no policy-based rationales were offered. I suggest that this be moved back as in the articlespace, it is a blatant case of WP:TRIVIA. 103.6.159.81 (talk) 03:54, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
April 15, 2016
- (Discuss) – Steve Eley → Serah Eley – Serah Eley is trans, her chosen name is Serah Eley and her preferred pronouns are female. As per Wikipedia:Gender_identity, this page should be moved to Serah Eley, and the name and pronouns used in the article should be updated. Source: https://medium.com/@Serah./hi-i-m-becoming-a-woman-dc6e76ba7d05#.4bo98241z Rokoschimera (talk) 23:29, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Mississippi civil rights workers' murders → Murders of Chaney, Goodman, and Schwerner – The article violates WP:PRECISION because there were multiple people murdered in Mississippi during the Civil Rights Movement that were civil rights workers. Please see Civil Rights Martyrs from the Civil Rights Memorial. Mitchumch (talk) 22:29, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ronald Gould → Ronald Gould (educator) – Of all the pages listed at the current disambiguation page (Ron Gould) the current article receives nowhere near the most page views [1] (note that the stats have changed after several recent page moves) and certainly doesn't qualify as primary topic. The current page should be disambiaguated; I would suggest educator based on the page's category, but there might be a better term. I also suggest the disambiguation page be moved over the current page, because it lists more Ronalds than Rons. kennethaw88 • talk 22:02, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Better Out Than In → Better Out than In – The title uses "than" as a preposition, but most (if not all) sources uppercase it. WP:COMMONNAMES is not a "common style" policy. Shall I cite MOS:CT, which does not require prepositions to be lowercased but requires them consisting of at least five letters to be uppercased? WP:NCCAPS tells us to rely on manuals if there is no consensus. I have the eighth edition of A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Diisertations: Chicago Style for Students & Researchers (some type of Chicago Manual of Style) saying to lowercase prepositions (unless used as adverbs or adjectives). Other manuals may say that as well. There are no clauses within the title. Maybe someone might see it as double entendre, but I don't. George Ho (talk) 20:15, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Center for Biofilm Engineering → Center_for_Biofilm_Engineering_-_Montana_State_University – Renaming suggested in order to better align Center for Biofilm Engineering with its institutional home, Montana State University. The proposed renaming does not change the identity of the entry. Rather, the renaming helps to further disambiguate and better define Center for Biofilm Engineering. – Jdshanks (talk) 19:46, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Mouth to mouth resuscitation → Mouth to mouth resuscitation – Not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Artificial respiration (synonym of Artificial ventilation) is "any means of producing gas exchange mechanically or manually between the lungs and the surrounding air, which is not performed entirely by the person's own respiratory system"[2] (more defs). This article is solely about a sub-type manual method called "Mouth to mouth resuscitation" (seems to be most common term) or "rescue breathing" (a close second). With this move the term artificial respiration should to be redirect to Artificial ventilation. (some discussion here) Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 18:29, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Women artists → Women in art – The current article title does not adequately represent the topic being discussed in the prose. SSTflyer 17:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Las Vegas–Paradise, NV MSA → Las Vegas metropolitan area – Per WP:COMMONNAME. (The suggested target name already redirects here, and has for several years.) Or perhaps → Las Vegas–Paradise metropolitan area or Las Vegas–Paradise, Nevada, metropolitan area or Las Vegas–Henderson–Paradise metropolitan area. The current included "NV" postal-style abbreviation of the state name seems awkward, and the "MSA" abbreviation seems unlikely to be used – or even understood – by most people. Per WP:USPLACE, the state name seems unnecessary to include with "Las Vegas" per AP style. —BarrelProof (talk) 17:11, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2015–16 Chinese stock market crash → 2015–16 Chinese stock market turbulence – Zanhe came up with the alternative not long ago in previous RM; he might respond later then if available. Some sources use the word "turbulence", which I hate to admit. I don't have strong feelings for this proposal, but let's give this a best shot. George Ho (talk) 16:56, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Netherlands (toponymy) → Name of the Netherlands – #Better, more descriptive name for the article since the current title seems to give the impression that "low countries" is an ambiguous name that is being disambiguated. #Name of Belgium already has its own target, so even though some of this information applies to Belgium and the other Low Countries, this article is specifically about the Netherlands. #Consistency with other titles of similar articles including Name of Romania, Name of France, Name of Sweden, Name of Austria, etc as per Template:Europe topic conventions. <<< SOME GADGET GEEK >>> (talk) 15:07, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Douchebag → Douchebag (disambiguation) – The primary topic for "douchebag" is Douche, or its slang use, which is covered in the Douche article. Douchebag should redirect to Douche. Alternatively, this disambiguation page may be deleted per WP:TWODABS, with a hatnote pointing to Douchebag (film) at the Douchebag article. SSTflyer 14:31, 15 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of famous mosques → List of mosques – Per discussion in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of famous mosques, "famous" doesn't seem right. "List of famous mosques" was started in 2003 as "List of mosques" and should be returned to that. And the "Lists of mosques" should be moved to a navigation template. This requested move proposal is for that and all the rest of the proposal late in the AFD: :::::Proposal (restated): By principles that :::::a) The concept of "Famous mosques" is not yet defined, and if someone wants to create a good "List of famous mosques" according to some definition they can do so from scratch, later. :::::b) a "List of mosques" should exist that indexes all of Wikipedia's mosques, organized geographically. Such an index exists now in the "See also" section of List of famous mosques and also there is one within Lists of mosques. :::::c) The edit history of "List of mosques" should be that of the original 2003-started list now at List of famous mosques, created by User:Technopilgrim. It should not be that of the 2010-started Lists of mosques, started by User:UnitedStatesian. The current List of mosques has only ever been a redirect and has no edit history worth saving. I am the editor who redirected that to Lists of mosques and thereby was putting UnitedStatesian in the role of being the apparent master originator of the idea of having a list of mosques in Wikipedia, so I or Unitedstatesian are the (perhaps-accidental) "usurpers" I referred to. :::::d) The edit history of the current Lists of mosques is less important to save, but still important by Wikipedia's principles. It could be saved as the edit history of a redirect, say List of mosques by geography or, better, as the edit history of "Template:Lists of mosques" (proposed next), and that fact could be permanently mentioned at the top of the Talk page of the "List of mosques" which results from this proposal. :::::e) IMO "Lists of X" are invalid because they are self-referencing. What they really are, are "Wikipedia Lists of X". Only if the topic "Lists of X" is valid in the real world, i.e. if there really exist different historically notable defined lists of X out there (such as, making this up: "Linnaeus's categorization of species", "Buffon's list of species", "Species identified by Darwin" and "Species accepted as of the Seconda Esposizione of 1832") is it justified to have a Wikipedia article about the history and differences of those lists. However, a navigation template is understood to be self-referencing, to be a navigation aid to Wikipedia articles. So it is okay/good to have a navigation template named "Template:Lists of mosques" that indexes Wikipedia's distinct list-systems of mosques, which are: ::::::*List of first mosques by country ::::::*List of largest mosques ::::::*List of the oldest mosques in the world and ::::::*List of mosques (all of them, organized geographically) :::::Specifically then this proposal is to: :::::#Merge content of List of famous mosques to other lists. (HyperGaruda may have done all or part of that already.) Replace by index of geography-based lists (i.e. its own "See also" section). :::::#Move List of famous mosques over redirect to List of mosques (currently a redirect to Lists of mosques) :::::#Move Lists of mosques to Template:Lists of mosques and edit that to be a navigation template indexing Wikipedia's distinct lists of mosques. Or move it to a plausible redirect to List of mosques. Record fact of where its edit history ends up, at top of Talk:List of mosques. :::::#Edit Lists of mosques to redirect to List of mosques :::::#Put Template:Lists of mosques at the bottom of the list-articles that it indexes. :::::This proposal now achieves the main intentions of everybody's concerns expressed in the AFD, I think. doncram 13:52, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Westport station (Connecticut) → Westport (Metro-North station) – This article title does not fit with the naming conventions of the rest of articles in Category:Metro-North Railroad stations in Connecticut or Category:Metro-North Railroad stations in New York, which follow New York City Public Transportation guidelines. Since this is not an Amtrak station, it may not fall under the purview of WP:USSTATION, which is why the article was moved in the first place. Alternatively, I propose that all articles in Category:Metro-North Railroad stations in Connecticut that have the naming format "XXX (Metro-North station)" can be changed to "XXX station (Connecticut)" (like this article title), and all articles in Category:Metro-North Railroad stations in New York that have the naming format "XXX (Metro-North station)" can be changed to "XXX station (New York)", with article titles according to WP:USSTATION. epicgenius, presented by reddit.com/r/funny (talk) 00:18, 15 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 2016 Magdalen Islands Mitsubishi MU-2 crash → 2016 Îles-de-la-Madeleine crash? – I don't think "Aero Teknic" and "MU-2" is really evocative of the incident. A simple perusal of the article references show that in the press, we refer to it as the Îles-de-la-Madeleine crash. (2016 Magdalen Islands crash would also be acceptable). Also see Google news results [3] and [4]. The article is also named for the location on fr.wiki. Wikiproject Aviation crashes says
"For articles on air accidents without a flight number, the title should be in the format <<year>> <<airline>> <<aircraft>> <<event>> or if this is not possible, <<year>> <<place>> <<event>>. [...] Some flexibility can be exercised. [...] Exceptions: if the event has acquired a popular name, that name should be used."
Recognizability – The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in, the subject area will recognize.
- (Discuss) – Santander Group → Banco Santander – The official name of the banking group, as a company is Banco Santander S.A. (the holding company and the company that runs the bank in Spain are the same company). The main article of HSBC Group is HSBC, as the ultimate parent company called HSBC Holding, with SUBSIDARIES The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (aka HSBC or less common, Hong Kong Bank) and HSBC Bank (Europe) (aka HSBC Bank plc). Same case in Barclays (Barclays plc; Barclays Bank plc) and RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland Group plc and Royal Bank of Scotland plc) I knew Banco Santander Central Hispano may different from Banco Santander, but it just confusing to have three of more article for the parent company, the whole group and the subsidiaries.

- (Discuss) – Persecution of pagans in the late Roman Empire → Anti-paganism policies in the late Roman Empire – The word "Persecution" is value-laden and not a neutral POV. The page is not about a general uprising against pagans by the people. It is about state opposition to paganism. The page is not so much about opposition to particular named pagans as to paganism as an organised religion. So the name should reflect the focus of the page - state opposition to the pagan religion in the Empire as effected by state officials (from Emperors to provincial governors) and state legislation (decrees and other laws promulgated). The fact that other opposition took place in local areas from time to time outside of official policy or sanction is not a material part of the page. The state would have viewed such policies as a normal part of its function of good government much as it did for other state policies like the collection of taxes. That is, they would not have viewed it as persecution per se as the , at times, unpleasant enforcement of laws. Much like the collection of taxes, which, while unpleasant, is legal and not characterised as persecution. Laurel Lodged (talk) 13:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Conor O'Brian → Konnor – Per WP:COMMON. These are the common names of both wrestlers. The former is the only BLP that claims that unique spelling of his name so a hatnote to the Connor dab page should suffice.

- (Discuss) – Mark LoMonaco → Bubba Ray Dudley – WP:COMMON requires we use the most common name. Their ECW and WWF ring names are far more common than their TNA names, which were playing off on those names in the first place anyway. Also, there's no basis for using an obscure uncommon name such as their real names when there is a dispute about which name is most common. We have to choose the most common and I think that's clearly Bubba and D-Von. Feedback 12:32, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders, and Chairs → WWE TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs – MOS:& requires us to respect the titles of works that use the & instead of "and". WWE's official title for the PPV includes the ampersand and every result referring to the PPV when searching their website for "Tables Ladders and Chairs" will exclusively use the ampersand. Furthermore, the titles of most of these articles use a comma right before the "and". This comma is not only syntactically incorrect, but it's not used by WWE on any documentation of the show. Furthermore, the prose of these articles use the correct comma-less title, so I am baffled as to how this oversight has lasted all these years. Feedback 04:49, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

After reading MOS:TMRULES, I think this page should move to IKon, which will display as iKon with Template:lowercase title. iKON is a stylized version of "icon" and is pronounced like the word. Even though iKON is used most of the time, iKon is still sometimes used by reliable sources: [6], [7], [8]. It is common for K-pop groups to have very stylized names, but this isn't reflected in their Wikipedia article titles (e.g. Big Bang rather than BIGBANG). Random86 (talk) 02:39, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Hiroshi Nakamura → Hiroshi Nakamura (dissident) – I do not believe this person is the primary topic for this name. Over the last 8 months this page has received 49% of the page views, but at least some of those must be readers looking for one of the other three people that have articles. Until today there was only a long hatnote at this page guiding readers to the other biographies, but I have now created the disambiguation page. I note that Hiroshi Nakamura (artist) was the first article created (at Hiroshi Nakamura) in 2007, and was moved to the (artist) title by user ACSE when they created this article in 2008. The icing on the cake for me is that the dissident Nakamura is the only one of the four that does not have a biography on the Japanese Wikipedia. AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 02:30, 14 April 2016 (UTC)

In contrast the subject of this article is a 25,000-student institution with a history stretching back to 1832.

The above WP:NATDAB quote of using a more natural common name when available conveniently omitted the very next sentence of "Do not, however, use obscure or made-up names". These names are clearly obscure as absolutely nobody knows them by those surnames. The very few people who watched FCW television and are aware of these surnames will all agree that they aren't common in the least.

- (Discuss) – Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone → Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (novel) – Nearly four years ago, the consensus unanimously opposed my proposal on disambiguating the outstanding, significant novel of the Harry Potter franchise, the very first novel. This year I believe consensus may change their minds. The long-term significance of the novel is undeniable because it is the very first and started the franchise and became popular at the time of the release. It also introduced fantasy settings, outstanding characters, and even superb storytelling. Nonetheless, the long-term significance of the film adaption shouldn't be denied as well. It brought child actors to fame, like Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Rupert Grint. It also featured veteran actors. It was directed by Chris Columbus, composed by John Williams, etc. It even became a worldwide box office hit; I didn't read the novel until after I watched the film. At the time of my previous proposal, the statistics of both pages were slightly different from each other but not very much. Somehow, they become equivalent to each other in the past sixty days this year. In other words, the novel and the film may be equally popular and significant. Meanwhile, the primary topic of "Harry Potter" is the franchise, while Harry Potter (character) is disambiguated. As for the hatnote, it is very long, but I'm unsure whether Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (disambiguation) should be created yet. George Ho (talk) 19:27, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Abhishek Verma → Abhishek Verma (archer) – and that article does admittedly cite a much broader range of citations dating all the way back to 1997, and may indeed have qualified for an article long before the archer could ever have gotten over WP:ATHLETE. Indeed, an article about the businessman was attempted in 2011, although it was deleted at AFD for making and sourcing far less compelling evidence of notability than the version that exists now. However, his rationale also included that the businessman is older and should thus be accorded PRIMARYTOPIC on the basis of age seniority, but he's already been advised that that's not a criterion that will enter into the decision one way or the other — and he's also betrayed troubling hints of having a potential conflict of interest of some kind, claiming ownership rights over the plain title on the grounds that the original deleted article was created by "his associates". Again, this is a strictly procedural nomination on my part, which I'm submitting because it was requested by an editor who doesn't know how to complete the process himself — I have no opinion on the merits, and leave it to a consensus of Wikipedians to decide.

- (Discuss) – Margaret Morris (dancer) → Margaret Morris (artist) – Margaret Morris (dancer) does not adequately describe the accomplishments of Margaret Morris as she was a notable artist as well as a notable dance pioneer. I mention this as her work was exhibited in the current Modern Scottish Women exhibition at the National Galleries of Scotland and it was explained that she and her lifelong partner, J.D. Fergusson, established the influential New Art Club in 1940. Hence I would suggest her page be renamed Margaret Morris (artist) as a more encompassing term which could include her dancing and artistic achievements.

Another problem with the current title is that all of these Kurdish armed organizations that fights against Iran are not separatist organizations and changing the title would fix that problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kurdish_separatism_in_Iran#Updated_table_on_separatism This table from the talk page shows that problem with the current title.

Free Syrian Army (FSA) for example is not an Islamist organization and FSA cooperating with Islamists doesn't make them Islamists. Because if Bashar al-Assad's Syrian Arab Army (SAA) cooperating with Hezbollah (a Shia Jihadists-Islamist organization) doesn't make the SAA Islamist then FSA cooperating with Islamists doesn't make the FSA Islamist either.

- (Discuss) – Building printing → Construction 3D Printing – The term 'building 3D Printing' is not in conventional use and does not adequately describe the emerging field of 3D printing within the construction industry, which will be used to fabricate individual construction elements, parts of or entire buildings, bridges and other structures. The PhD thesis by Gardiner 2011 [16] pages 41-43, described exisiting terminology of the time and proposed the alternative term 'Construction 3D Printing', from other terms in use such as 'Additive Manufacturing for Construction'. Under the wikipedia naming convention policies and guidelines (especially - precision, naturalness, consistency, recognisability): accordingly the following arguments can be made to suggest that 'Building Printing' is not an accurate term: 1. The standard term for the industry that creates structures within our built environment is 'Construction Industry', the term building industry is a much less recognised term ('Construction Industry' google - 109m results, 'Building Industry' 58m results). The term 'building' can also be interpreted to mean a building such as a house, which is one type of many structures created by the construction industry. 2. The shortening of the '3D printing' to 'printing' - which this article clearly refers to, creates ambiguity within the title. One could interpret building printing as a two dimensional decorative technique akin to printing fabrics and hence a number of unrelated techniques could be discussed under this same heading. Fabrication of three dimensional elements using 3D printing techniques should correctly use the full term '3D printing' to reduce ambiguity. A search for 3D printing under wikipedia would then also correctly capture construction 3D printing. Fahnjim 03:49, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – USS Frank E. Petersen Jr. → USS Frank E. Petersen, Jr. – This page was moved improperly and without consensus or support of WP:PG, in an effort to remove the comma preceding "Jr."
Per; WP:JR: The comma can be used where a living subject's own preference or its use in current sources is clear and consistent. Articles should be internally consistent in either use or omission of the commas.
The comma is supported by sources and the article is internally consistent, and therefore the move was contested.
Per; WP:MOS: Where more than one style is acceptable, editors should not change an article from one of those styles to another without a good reason. Edit warring over optional styles is unacceptable. If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor.
The guidelines are clear, the comma is an acceptable style, therefore shouldn't have been removed. Once the move was contested, the article should've deferred back to the original title, which is with the comma in the name. The article needs to be moved.

- (Discuss) – Generic trademark → Genericized trademark – Present name is an irrational oxymoron, and thus confusing to readers. There is no such thing as a "generic trademark"; if it's generic, it is not a trademark, even if it once had been. A (former) trademark can become genericized, and is then a genericized trademark, in the same sense that a cut-off leg is an amputated limb. It is still an ungainly construction; trademark genericization is really what this article is about, and is the most logical and WP:PRECISE term, but some might object on WP:CONCISE grounds, and I would weakly agree that genericized trademark is clear enough to use in the context of this article. By way of direct analogy, a (former) crime may have been legalized; in a particular context it can be called a legalized crime, but it is not a "legal crime". PS: I'm using -ize not -ise because the article already does. While "generic trademark" does occur in some sources, I see no evidence that it's the most common usage, and more to the point a) it is not the proper legal usage (i.e., the usage in sources that are actually reliable on this legal topic); and b) even if it were the common name we could still reject it on the basis that it fails WP:AT policy by being reader-confusing. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 09:48, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Community organization → Community-based organization – "Community organization" may refer to either the process of organizing communities (it is then used synonymously with community organizing), or to the organizations (groups) evolving from this process (then synonymous with "community-based organizations"). This article mixes the two without making the ambiguity explicit. While some authors and organizations prefer one or the other term for "Community organizing" and while slightly different perspectives on the topic may play a role, the overlap seems too large to have more than one primary article on this topic. I therefore think this article should mostly be merged to Community organizing and refocused on "community-based organizations", therefore retitling. As one may not happen without the other, I'm combining these two requests into one, and am curious whether this turns out to be a good precedent for similar situations. --PanchoS (talk) 00:25, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – French Third Republic → Third French Republic – Rationale for name change is as follows: # Articles on France's various republics are the only ones named in this format, the standard WP:MOS is [Number] [Country] Republic as with First Czechoslovak Republic, First Philippine Republic, Second Spanish Republic, Second Polish Republic, etc. This is further illustrated on the disambiguation pages for First Republic, Second Republic, Third Republic, Fourth Republic and Fifth Republic. # Articles on France's Napoleonic empires also follow the MOS with First French Empire and Second French Empire. # WP:COMMONNAME: ## A Google search for the Third Republic for example returns 174,000,000 results for "Third French Republic", but only 2,820,000 results for "French Third Republic". This pattern is consistent when searching the other republics as well. ## A Google Books search for the Fourth Republic for example returns 1,260,000 results for "Fourth French Republic", but only 1,220,000 results for "French Fourth Republic" This pattern is consistent when searching for the other republics in Google Books as well. # "[Number] French Republic" is a more accurate translation of the full term in French (e.g. "Quatrième République française", literally "Fourth French Republic"). The official name of the regime was the French Republic, and it was the [first, second, etc.] one. Based on the evidence presented, I believe that there is a valid argument to move the pages. – Nick Mitchell 98 talk 05:23, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Setting boundaries → Personal boundaries – I am simply asking for the status quo to be restored. "Personal boundaries" was renamed as "setting boundaries" by Wiki-psyc without any discussion or WP:RM on 21 August 2015. * Few articles in Wikipedia start with "setting" - most of those are titles of works of music etc or "setting" as an adjective or noun not as a verb. Compare with the much more common use of articles in Wikipedia starting with "personal". * "Setting" in this case is a verb that says nothing to help differentiate what type of boundary we are talking about. There are plenty to choose from: personal boundaries, boundaries of the mind, professional boundaries, symbolic boundaries, boundary-work, boundaries etc. "Personal" on the other hand immediately tells you that we are talking about boundaries relating to an individual's persona. * The article is about the concept generally of a particular type of boundary (personal boundaries) not specifically the "setting" of the boundary which is only one aspect. * "Personal boundaries" is in common usage on Google (general, book & scholar). For example, I happen to have in front of me the book "Better Boundaries" by Black and Enns. Chapter 3 is called "Your Personal Boundary System" (pages 29 to 44). No mention of "setting boundaries" anywhere in the book. Penbat (talk) 17:34, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

In this case, "you love me" is a sentence; "as long as" is used as a correlative conjunction. "As" is not a preposition in the titles of the same name. "As" is not a "coordinating" type, i.e. among FANBOYS. Therefore, "As" should be uppercased per WP:NCCAPS in not just one song title but other song titles as well.

I do not believe that the first word missing a "g" or an apostrophe is enough to distinguish itself from other subjects listed at the disambiguation page Nothing Personal, especially when dropping the "g" in most slang uses of the word "nothing" is quite common with the use of an apostrophe after the "n" afterwords maybe or maybe not happening. Also, the "(Cozz album)" disambiguation would be needed since other albums are already listed on the disambiguation page.

- (Discuss) – Erk/Liberty Democratic Party → Erk Democratic Party – "Liberty" doesn't seem to be part of the party's name. It's just the English translation of the Uzbek word "Erk". We don't usually include translations in the title – it's sufficient if the translation is mentioned in the lead. Most of the English-language sources available (amongst them Political Organization in Central Asia and Azerbijan: Sources and Documents, Central Asia, 130 Years of Russian Dominance: A Historical Overview, Helsinki Watch: Human Rights in Uzbekistan, US Library of Congress, Civil Society in Central Asia, Guardian) refer to the party as "Erk Democratic Party", so there we go, that's our WP:COMMONNAME.
Regarding the historic party, the disambiguator needs to be slightly more precise. As we don't know much about that party, for now I chose the rather generic disambiguator "(historic party)". Feel free to come up with a better proposal though. -- PanchoS (talk) 02:18, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – List of Lebanese people in Australia → List of Australian people of Lebanese descent – Consistent with category title. "Lebanese people in Australia" is offensive and divisive, as if someone's Lebanese descent confers permanent otherness on them forever mutually exclusive from Australianness. This is obviously not the case. Almost everyone on this list is Australian. Australian born, raised, residing, allegiance to, etc. Many don't have and wouldn't qualify for Lebanese citizenship. In short, are not Lebanese. Lebanese Australian, yes, but not "Lebanese people."

- (Discuss) – Rojava conflict → Rojava Revolution – I propose that this page be moved to Rojava Revolution. Wikipedia's definition of a revolution is defined as "A revolution is a fundamental change in power or organizational structures that takes place in a relatively short period of time." Rojava has seen its autonomy declared with a new constitution that profoundly alters the rights of citizens.[3] People in administration have changed, including many who were once barred from holding government positions. New ministries have been established. A model of "Democratic Confederalism" is being implemented. The courts now have many new lawyers and judges. The schools are now instructing in Kurdish and other languages.[4] All of these constitute fundamental changes in power and organizational structures and has occurred within a short period of time. Additionally, the combatants commonly refer to the conflict they are part of as a revolution.[5] In terms of search results, "Rojava Revolution" receives about 223,000 results.[6] "Rojava conflict" receives 993 results.[7] Cedewey (talk) 02:10, 17 March 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Let It Go (Heo Young-saeng EP) → Let It Go (EP) – The article was moved from "Let It Go (EP)" to "Let It Go (Heo Young-saeng EP)" by an editor days ago for an unknown reason. Later on, I found out that it was to give way for another album with the same title by another artist (James Bay). Afterwards, not only was this article renamed, but the old article "Let It Go (EP)" was redirected to the latter artist. Is it possible to undo all of these for many reasons? 1. Heo Young-saeng's album was released first (2011 vs. 2014); 2. "Let It Go (EP)" article for Heo was created first; 3. The old article "Let It Go (EP)" was already linked to many articles (including DYK page). Would anyone please help me solve the problem? There's just too much articles linked on the old page and I don't want to literally go over to each linked page to change the link. Also, it would be unfair to the old article.

There's been a steady sea change over the last 5 years to moving templates from opaque jargon like {{fact}} to plain English like {{citation needed}}. Even if the redirects remain in use, they are auto-converted to the more descriptive names by various bots and AWB scripts. This is more cleanup in the same direction. Note in particular that the names of the variant templates make no sense at all at present; something being inline is not undue, and it is not undue for something to be sectioned. The weight given to something in that material is what is undue. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 13:47, 13 March 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – World Open (snooker) → World Grand Prix (snooker) – This article has recently been the result of a cut and paste move by 109.148.59.43 which was subsequently reverted by Armbrust. The IP editor contends that the World Grand Prix which was resumed in 2015 is a continuation of the World Open event last played in 2014. The IP's contention is that it is the same tournament because they are using the same trophy. The IP's contention isn't as far fetched as it initially appears: the Grand Prix/World Open has a convoluted history when it comes to branding: the name has frequently changed due to sponsor changes, but it was always broadcasted by the BBC at the start of the season. It last played on the BBC in 2010 as the World Open. The World Open was resumed the following season in China where it was played for three years from 2012 to 2014 and broadcast on ITV4 in the UK. Last season, the World Grand Prix took its spot on the calendar and moved back to the UK, and it continued to be broadcast on ITV4. The question is, given the change of name, location and format is it still the same tournament? The IP contends it is because it uses the historic Grand Prix trophy. Here is a picture of Neil Robertson with the trophy in 2009 when it was still known as the Grand Prix: [20]. Here is another picture of Neil Robertson with the same trophy when he defended his title in 2010, after it was rebranded the World Open: [21]. Here is a picture of Judd Trump with the same trophy after winning the 2015 World Grand Prix: [22]. If you zoom in on that image you can actually make out some of the other names, one of the most telling ones being "World Open" directly above the name "Neil Robertson". Just for the record all trophies in snooker have a unique design, with no two tournaments having a trophy utilising the same design. World Snooker have to all intents and purposes have "rebooted" the tournament but most importantly they still consider it in the same lineage, otherwise why use the same trophy with all the previous winners on it? To this end I propose renaming the "World Open" article to its current name and extending the table to include the World Grand Prix results. Betty Logan (talk) 13:10, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

It is true that "railway station" is less common in the US than in Ireland, but it's not unheard of, and we also need to consider the possibility of non-Americans looking up the titles.

A hyphen is standard for compass points north-west north-east south-west south-east and other combinations mid-west. An en-dash is for union of disjoint elements, as in Kerry North–West Limerick which is (Kerry North) + (West Limerick), not (Kerry North-West) + (Limerick) or (Kerry) + (North-West Limerick); I have not included articles of that form in this rename request. The current legislation uses hyphens for both combinations and union of disjoint: see 2013, 2009 (older texts of Electoral Acts in the online statute book would have been OCRed in and so are less reliable; there were mostly hyphens but that may be an overcount). I personally would prefer "Cork North Central" to "Cork North-Central", but the latter is in the statute, and either is preferable to "Cork North–Central", which suggest "Cork North" plus "(Cork) Central". jnestorius(talk) 17:45, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
