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.

Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
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 11 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.

- (Discuss) – Joshua Adams → Joshua Adams (dancesport) – No evidence Joshua Adams is the primary topic, as all the Josh Adams are just as valid search terms for Joshua Adams. Dancesport seems best dismabiguator, as that's what he does. Disambiguation page should move to Joshua Adams, as that's the fullname, and Josh Adams should redirect to it. All in all, this would be a proper cleanup of the disambiguation, leaving just 1 disambiguation page. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:54, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Moveable Feast (organization) → Moveable Feast – This is the only notable entry with capitalized spelling Moveable Feast. Zero reason for disambig page created at Moveable Feast. Unilaterally moved with zero discussion at DIFF 2, after prior move at DIFF 1 -- in violation of site procedures at WP:REQMOVE. Only two (2) pages exist on Wikipedia with this title. No need for disambig page. — Cirt (talk) 20:09, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Serna → Serna, Nepal – I don't think there's a primary topic here (and if there is, it'd be the surname). While my external search for "Serna" primarily show people, a page view analysis shows that the Nepalese municipality gets the most views, but only by a little bit (probably because it has the base title). -- Tavix (talk) 16:10, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Broadcom → Broadcom Corporation – Broadcom Limited is the surviving entity from Avago's acquisition of Broadcom Corporation and Avago's subsequent name change to Broadcom Limited. Therefore, according to WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the primary topic of the term "Broadcom" has shifted from the now defunct entity Broadcom Corporation to Broadcom Limited. This proposal reflects this new status quo. Note My prior proposal was discussed and failed to gain consensus. This new proposal came up during that discussion.

- (Discuss) – Real Robot → Real robot – Reliable sources such as Forbes use “real robot” uncapitalized when referring to this genre: [1][2][3]. Our own naming conventions (WP:NCCAPS) call for using lowercase. There is no legitimate reason to treat this label as a proper name when we don’t do so for e.g. science fiction, and when it is not done by reliable sources. Prior discussion suggests that title disambiguation is unnecessary (or at least does not enjoy consensus). 67.14.236.50 (talk) 16:53, 9 April 2016 (UTC) modified 06:22, 10 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – National Gendarmerie Intervention Group → GIGN – Per WP:COMMONNAME. "GIGN" is unambiguous, precise and more recognisable than the current title. I'm not sure "National Gendarmerie Intervention Group" can even be considered an alternative name, since the English, non-abbreviated form isn't actually used. Should only be noted as a literally translation of French non-abbreviated form. Rob984 (talk) 23:50, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – VlogBrothers → Vlogbrothers – The title of this article is currently "VlogBrothers", but I can't find a single instance of that name being officially used. It is "vlogbrothers" on their YouTube, John Green's personal website, and their Google+ page. It is "Vlogbrothers" on the official Nerdfighteria site, the Reddit community, and the official merchandise store. It appears both ways on the DFTBA's team bios page. I can't find a single official use of "VlogBrothers"; in fact, the only use of any kind I found is this CBS News article, this NY Times article, and this Mashable article. Given that virtually every single other source cited in this article uses "Vlogbrothers" or "vlogbrothers", I think we can assume those are the acceptable spellings. Thus, I think the title should be "Vlogbrothers", and the correct article intro would be: "Vlogbrothers (often stylized as vlogbrothers)". IagoQnsi (talk) 22:34, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Dodge Tomahawk → ? – *@Dennis Bratland and Spacecowboy420: At 14:58, 8 April 2016 Dennis Bratland copy-and-pasted Talk:Dodge Tomahawk/old version (a longer alternate version of Dodge Tomahawk) to name Dodge Tomahawk, with edit comment "restoring expanded version after violation of interaction ban", and then asked me to history-merge them, which is impossible due to WP:Parallel histories. I reverted the copy-and-paste move. The nearest that I can get to obeying his request would be to move Talk:Dodge Tomahawk/old version and Dodge Tomahawk each to the other's name (via a temporary third name); but past history compels discussion before I decide whether to make this pagename-swop.

- (Discuss) – Shekou Industrial Zone → Shekou – Shekou is the name for the entire area southwest of Nanshan, not just the industrial zone, and very clearly one can feel from the tone and the content of the article the subject is in fact more of a neighbourhood than a industial area. The term industrial zone is a thing of a past when referring to Shekou, a significant portion of this place was, and is increasingly becoming high-rise residential areas. Factories have been demolished and heavy industries here has almost disappeared. So by continue to call it an industrial zone we may confuse readers, especially visitors to the area.

- (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 [4] 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) – Gay–Lussac law → Gay-Lussac's law – A dash would be correct here if it was named after two people called Gay and Lussac, but it's named after one person, Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac, with a compound surname correctly spelled with a hyphen. Also the possessive form (with 's) is usual for laws named after one person; compare Boyle's law, Charles's law, Avogadro's law, Dalton's law et cetera. 86.147.102.201 (talk) 02:16, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Boda-boda → Boda boda – It's better to remove the hyphen as other, similar forms of public transport with "duplicated" names (e.g. tap tap, dala dala) lack hyphenation as well as the fact that the hyphenated form of the name boda boda is not popular among sources. Fleetham (talk) 22:48, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

I believe he's only credited as "Chin Han" in America (where "Ng Chin Han" is bound to generate more confusions than necessary, considering how much the general population knows about Chinese names), back in Singapore he's credited as "Ng Chin Han", see e.g. [5]. Another option is Chin Han (Singaporean actor), but he's based in America and there's always a possibility of naturalization. Timmyshin (talk) 16:16, 7 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.

Article also includes content about associated topics or groupings, which is suitable if this article is about the grouping but not if this article is only a list of the group's members. Alternative title is singular Colonial college, not sure which is better. I'm not doing it WP:BOLDly because there was previously an attempt at writing an articel about the group after this list-of article existed.

- (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)

A search for "social justice warrior" on DuckDuckGo shows that of the first 2 pages of results, 55 use "Social Justice Warrior" and only 12 use "Social justice warrior" or "social justice warrior". We should follow the capitalization that is more prevalent in usage. SSTflyer 01:16, 6 April 2016 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Community organization → Community-based organizations – "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) – List of the lengths of American participation in major wars → List of the lengths of American participation in armed conflicts – Major war doesn't exist and Major wars redirects to a section about ongoing wars (which is not the scope of this page since it also lists wars in the past), so current title is misleading. With this reasoning, moving this article to List of the lengths of American participation in wars may also be an option, but some articles I have found thus far regarding wars have the term "war" listed as "armed conflict" in their titles.

- (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)

When the DAB is higher you know something's up. Searching "Rick Baker" on Google Books brings up results almost entirely about the makeup artist. (It does prioritize books by non-notable authors named Rick Baker, but don't be fooled - past page 1 it's almost entirely the makeup artist.)

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.

- (Discuss) – As Long as You Love Me → As Long As You Love Me – "As long as" can be used as either a preposition or correlative conjunction. 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 tried to individually request changing just one title, but that confused people. As for sources, they are too lengthy for a bot to transclude; they will be posted separately.

- (Discuss) – Dragon Warrior Monsters → Dragon Warrior Monsters (video game) – Per the video game series article representing this subject, there have been at least three titles in this series that have been released in English under the "Dragon Quest Monsters" title (as opposed to "Dragon Warrior Monsters".) As seen in this discussion for the redirect Dragon Warrior, there is a good amount of confusion/interchanging of the terms "Dragon Quest" and "Dragon Warrior" in English when referring to any aspect of or related to the Dragon Quest video game series. With that being said, I propose that this move happen, and the the leftover redirect Dragon Warrior Monsters be redirected to the series article, Dragon Quest Monsters.

- (Discuss) – Nothin Personal → Nothin Personal (Cozz album) – This proposed move was performed, then reverted as controversial, so here is the "official" move request. I support it too because ... 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)

The Venezuelan Observatory of Social Conflict and PROVEA (among others sources) clarify this in their reports of 2014; the peak of social unrest was in early 2014, with a few demonstrations later that year.

- (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."

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. https://encrypted.google.com/search?hl=en&q=rojava%20revolution#hl=en&q=%22rojava+conflict%22.

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 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.

- (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: [13]. 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: [14]. Here is a picture of Judd Trump with the same trophy after winning the 2015 World Grand Prix: [15]. 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)

The current title of this Wikipedia article is a mash-up of the US title and the international title but isn't, in fact, either. — Film Fan 22:26, 5 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Waiting for Love (song) → Waiting for Love – This song was a worldwide smash. Neither of the albums are notable in the slightest, except maybe (and that's a very strong maybe) in their countries of origin. One of the albums doesn't have a single reference and the other has one, as well as a non-hyperlinked one. The song has had 32,575 views in the last 60 days; I doubt either of the albums have even had that number since their creation.[24] Unreal7 (talk) 01:21, 4 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Muscat, Oman → Muscat – I am rather surprised that the capital city of a not-insignificant country is not at its base title. Most of my search results on DuckDuckGo and Google are about the capital of Oman instead of the grape/wine. Page views data also show that this article is viewed more than the article about the grape. sst✈ 12:02, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Signpost (Wikipedia) → The Signpost – This is effectively the only topic named "The Signpost" with an article on Wikipedia. The Weber State University student newspaper just redirects to the university itself. And even if The Signpost (Weber State University) meets GNG, the Wikipedia newsletter is likely to be the primary topic. sst✈ 06:15, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Tigrayans → Tigray-Tigrinya people – Please see above discussion. There are strong reasons to not refer to those who speak Tigrigna as a singular "Tigrayan" ethnic group. It is a label only used for those who come from Ethiopia's Tigray province and one rejected by Tigrigna speakers who come from Eritrea. Mesfin (talk) 13:18, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ministry of Defense of Georgia → Ministry of Defence (Georgia) – Their official website, http://www.mod.gov.ge/, spells it "Ministry of Defence". As does their verified Facebook page. WP:NC-GAL states "Use official names in article titles". This is not a machine translation. This is the official name they use. WP:RETAIN does not mean we keep incorrect names, have some common sense please. AusLondonder (talk) 08:40, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Jon Snow (character) → Jon Snow – The clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for this name. Especially as the character has global notability, while the news presenter is known only in the UK. InsertCleverPhraseHere 03:54, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Choba B CCCP → Снова в СССP – The title just looks wrong when in Latin text. In Russian, it would be pronounced "Snova Veh Es Es Es Err". PikaSka (talk) 00:00, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Westport railway station → Westport (Mayo) railway station – Per the recent RM discussion at Talk:Westport station (New York): this isn't the primary topic of the term "Westport railway station" among Westport station (New York) and Westport station (Connecticut). Westport railway station ought to redirect to the dab page at Westport station. 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. The proposal is based on the recommendations at WP:UKSTATION; Ireland doesn't seem to have its own guideline and typically follows the UK guideline. Cúchullain t/c 18:35, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – MediEvil → MediEvil (series) – The first game (now at MediEvil (video game)) is the only game in this very small series known by that title alone, the two other games have unique subtitles. When I came to this page, I thought the article was about the first game, and I'm pretty sure the first game is the primary topic for the name. A Google search seems to confirm this. Most mentions of the title on Google refer to the first game alone, not the series as a whole. So this article about the series should be moved to make way for the first game to be transferred to this title. FunkMonk (talk) 15:59, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – See You Again (Wiz Khalifa song) → See You Again – This song is the primary topic for "See You Again". Page view statistics: [25] show that this page is accessed far more than the two other songs named "See You Again". In fact the disambiguation page is more viewed than either of the other two songs, meaning that we are inconveniencing many readers by having the disambiguation page at the base title. Google Trends: [26] show that the relative peak search interest was 14 for the Miley Cyrus song, 5 for the Carrie Underwood song, and 100 for the Wiz Khalifa song, meaning that the other two songs never had even a fraction of the search interest of the Wiz Khalifa song. Long-term significance: all three GNG-meeting topics named "See You Again" are songs. Comparing the months when the three articles reached their highest page views: the Miley Cyrus song had 29,131 page views, the Carrie Underwood song had 14,693 page views, and the Wiz Khalifa song had 225,409 page views. This shows that the Wiz Khalifa song is overwhelmingly the primary topic for "See You Again", both historically and at present. Some editors may continue to think that songs can never be primary topics; this has been refuted in similar precedents, such as Talk:Shut Up and Drive#Requested move 4 October 2015 and Talk:Thinking Out Loud#Requested move 3 October 2015. sst✈ 08:43, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Gunma At-large district (House of Councillors) → Gunma At-large district – Each of these district names refer to a prefecture in Japan. For most prefectures, an "At-large district" existed for the House of Representatives (Japan's "Lower House") election of 1946. Gunma At-large district (House of Representatives) is the only one which has an article and the rest are redlinks.
After the election, there was a reform of the electoral system and since then, each of the 47 prefectures has had an "At-Large district" for the House of Councillors (upper house), while most of the House of Reps at-large districts were carved up into smaller districts. Per WP:TWODABS and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, I believe that the (House of Councillors) disambiguation following each name is unnecessary. The current (HC) articles are the primary topic and links to the old districts can be achieved with hatnotes. There are two other articles where the House of Reps district continued to exist until 1994. I will create a separate discussion for that at Tokushima At-large district (House of Councillors).

- Kagawa At-large district (House of Councillors) → Kagawa At-large district
- Kanagawa At-large district (House of Councillors) → Kanagawa At-large district
- Nagano At-large district (House of Councillors) → Nagano At-large district
- Nagasaki At-large district (House of Councillors) → Nagasaki At-large district
- Saitama At-large district (House of Councillors) → Saitama At-large district
- Tochigi At-large district (House of Councillors) → Tochigi At-large district
- Yamaguchi At-large district (House of Councillors) → Yamaguchi At-large district
- (Discuss) – Kumi Koda → Koda Kumi – As per MOS:IDENTITY and MOS:JA, and the arguments used during the recent move of Utada Hikaru. The artist herself uses the order "Koda Kumi" consistently, and English news sources are split between "Koda Kumi" and "Kumi Koda" (The Straits Times, Channel News Asia, Popdust and RocketNews24 use "Koda Kumi", while The Japan Times and The Verge use "Kumi Koda", and Japan Today doesn't chose either way). Google Scholar numbers are fairly matched, but many of the "Kumi Koda" entries aren't actually about the singer, but about her Wikipedia articles.

- (Discuss) – TBS (U.S. TV channel) → TBS (TV channel) – The U.S. channel is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for television channels named TBS (96,000+ pageviews in the past 4 months vs. 2,000 for the Latin American version). I would have opposed the previous move nominated by the IP had I seen it earlier. -- Wikipedical (talk) 23:17, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Familial → Familial (disambiguation) – In this case, the adjective should follow the primary topic of the lemma. Family has a primary topic, so Familial should redirect to Family; the adjective use does not seem to be used nearly as much to reference the biological meaning, and the album is obscure. bd2412 T 20:29, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Proton Arena → Proton Jumbuck –
- On average, there appears to be more Google search queries for 'Proton Jumbuck' than 'Proton Arena' data here
- I think it's best and more sensible to use the model name given for the most popular market, in this case Australia. The Arena/ Jumbuck didn't sell very well in Malaysia.
- Even Proton uses 'Jumbuck' these days, and not 'Arena' when describing the model. This is never the case when describing their other export models (S16, 400 Series, Natura etc.). Aero777 (talk) 17:21, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – MulvannyG2 Architecture → MG2 – The firm is probably the most-requested item with "MG2" in the name, and is now officially named as such. Other pages in the letter-number disambiguation category show past precedent in moving this. Shouldn't be controversial, but just in case. SounderBruce 05:40, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Showtime (TV network) → Showtime – The TV network is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 94,000+ pageviews for "(TV network)" and 7,100 pageviews for "(TV channel)" vs. 18,000+ for the (film), 12,000+ for Showtime Networks, and 5,000+ for the Dizzee Rascal album (which was far and away the most viewed album; the others had negligible page views). Thorough Google and Google News searches confirm that the TV network is easily the most referenced "Showtime" with respect to usage and long-term significance. -- Wikipedical (talk) 21:13, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Self-balancing two-wheeled board → Self-Balancing Scooter – UL standard 2272 calls these "Self-Balancing Scooters". "Self-Balancing Scooter" gets 771,000 Google hits, while "Self-balancing two-wheeled board" gets only 6,250 hits. -- Callinus (talk) 12:48, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Wisteria macrostachya → ? – The page should probably move to "Wisteria frutescens var. macrostachya" or alternatively, be merged with "Wisteria frutescens", which is better? MCEllis (talk) 00:12, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Cork City North–West (Dáil Éireann constituency) → Cork City North-West (Dáil Éireann constituency) – Replace en-dash with hyphen in various articles within Category:Dáil Éireann constituencies. 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)

- (Discuss) – Niagara Falls, New York (Amtrak station) → Niagara Falls station (Amtrak) – Per WP:USSTATION. Niagara Falls station is ambiguous with Niagara Falls, Ontario railway station. I ran across the old New York Central station while searching. I doubt whether "Old Niagara Falls Train Station" was the actual name of the station. System disambiguation seems most appropriate here. If the new station under construction is sufficiently different to warrant a new article then this article could be moved again to Niagara Falls station (Lehigh Valley Railroad), but that's getting ahead of ourselves.
