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

- Wikipedia does not necessarily follow official naming. — BarrelProof (talk) 00:13, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:
- there has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. For technical move requests, such as to correct obvious typographical errors, see Requesting technical moves. The technical moves procedure can also be used for uncontroversial moves when the requested title is occupied by an existing article.
Do not create a new move request when one is already open on the same talk page. Instead, consider contributing to the open discussion if you would like to propose another alternative. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Do not create a move request to rename one or more redirects. Redirects cannot be used as current titles in requested moves.
Requesting a single page move
To request a single page move, click on the "New section" tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|NewName|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
Replace NewName
with the requested new name of the page (or with a simple question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 19 April 2021" and sign the post for you.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the article:
Note: Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as Requests for comment, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Google Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topics.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article alerts to receive RM notifications. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts/Requested moves is transcluded to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. RMCD bot notifies many of the other Wikiprojects listed on the talk page of the article to be moved to invite project members to participate in the RM discussion. Requesters should feel free to notify any other Wikiproject or noticeboard that might be interested in the move request, as long as this notification is neutral.
Single page move on a different talk page
Occasionally, a move request must be made on a talk page other than the talk page of the page to be moved. For example, a request to rename Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates would need to take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation because the talk page of the project page to be moved, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, is a redirect to that centralized discussion page. In this type of case, the requested move should be made using the following code:
{{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}}
Note that the |1=
unnamed parameter is not used, and that the |current1=
and |new1=
parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
Requesting multiple page moves
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move
| current1 = Current title of page 1
| new1 = New title for page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| current3 = Current title of page 3
| new3 = New title for page 3
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia
and Wiki
, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia
, and replace current2
with Wiki
. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at page 1 (Talk:Wikipedia
). Do not sign a request with ~~~~
as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.
Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace. For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is not itself proposed to be moved, specify |current1=Current title of page 1
for the first page to move.
Request all associated moves explicitly
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to move Cricket (disambiguation) to Cricket because you do not believe the sport is the primary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, both Cricket (disambiguation) and Cricket. Thus you must list proposed titles for each page affected by your request. For example, you might propose:
If a new title is not proposed for the sport, it is more difficult to achieve consensus for a new title for that article. A move request that does not show what to do with the material at its proposed target, such as:
is incomplete. Such requests may be completed as a request to decide the best new title by discussion.

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

- (Discuss) – Loa → Lwa – The spelling loa was common in English language texts of the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s (such as Maya Deren's Divine Horsemen [1953] or the English-language translation of Alfred Métraux's Voodoo in Haiti [1972; orig. French edition 1959]) but was already being rejected by the early 1990s, at which point lwa had become the standard spelling in English-language publications (in turn following attempts to imitate Haitian Creole spellings more closely). Lwa is for instance the spelling used in major English-language studies of Vodou such as Karen McCarthy Brown's Mama Lola: A Vodou Priestess in Brooklyn [1991], Leslie G. Desmangles' The Faces of the Gods: Vodou and Roman Catholicism in Haiti [1992], Kate Ramsey's The Spirits and the Law: Vodou and Power in Haiti [2011], or Margarite Fernandez Olmos and Lizabeth Paravisini-Gebert's Creole Religions of the Caribbean: An Introduction from Vodou and Santería to Obeah and Espiritismo [2011]. Several of these more recent texts also favour the Haitian Creole-based spelling Petwo over the older Petro. As a comparison, we title our main article on this subject Haitian Vodou - i.e. "Vodou", the spelling widely used since at least the 1990s, rather than "Voodoo", which was common in the mid-20th century. This article should follow this example and use lwa rather than loa. It is quite embarrassing for Wikipedia to keep using these very outdated spellings; we need to make things look professional.

- (Discuss) – Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia → Public Investment Fund (PIF) – Almost all media articles refer to “Public Investment Fund” or simply “PIF”, e.g. [1], Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, and Arab News. There is no other Public Investment Fund which it needs to be differentiated from. The company’s logo and titles on its website refer only to “Public Investment Fund”. The company’s governor (leader) is officially titled as the “Governor of the Public Investment Fund, or PIF” (source). The first sentence in the article makes clear that PIF is the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia. Riyadhcafe87 (talk) 09:47, 18 April 2021 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of people with surname Brown → List of people surnamed Brown – Per the discussion at Talk:List of people with given name Alan#Requested move 16 April 2021, "people with surname Foo" is a grammatically incorrect and unnecessarily long construction. Five of the titles in this group use "people named", which is inconsistent with the much broader practice of noting that these are surnames, with "people named Foo" more commonly being used to denote given names. I propose that we establish and stick to one consistent practice with respect to all of these names. BD2412 T 03:36, 18 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Stratioti → Stradioti –
*In historical sources and archival material, "Stradioti" is the term used by most sources. Stratioti is used by few Greek sources (see Pappas:The question of the etymology of the appellation stradioti is further complicated by the various spellings and versions of the term in the primary sources. The few Greek sources, such as the Andragathêmata tou Merkouriou Boua, use stratiotes/stratiotai, the Greek word for soldier.[16] Latin sources, such as the dispatches of Jacomo Barbarigo, use the variant stratiotos/stratiotorum or strathiotos/strathiotorum[17] The bulk of primary sources in Italian, such as Coriolano Cippico, Marino Sanuto and Venetian state documents, use stradiotto/stradioti, adopted by this paper, or strathiotto/strathioti.[18] French sources, such as Philip de Comines, use the variation estradiot/estradiots.
*In contemporary sources - according to Google Scholar - Stradioti is used in 402 publications vs. Stratioti 238 (1990-2021) Most sources used in the article use Stradioti. --Maleschreiber (talk) 22:32, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – British passport (Jersey) → Jersey-variant British passport – Until just recently this article's title reflected the name that the passport is officially known as. Kreb moved it to the title "British passport (Jersey)" leaving the edit summary "It’s absurd to label the page “Jersey-variant British passport”; it sounds like something the States wrote". I moved it back, with the edit summary "Undoing move. The title of the article was not 'obsurd'. It reflects what this type of passport is officially called". Kreb then moved it back again, with the edit summary "this title is actually congruent with other British passport types Isle of Man, BOTs and so on". In this situation rather than engaging in a page-move war we need to follow the BOLD, revert, discuss cycle. This is the start of that discussion. The following should serve as evidence that the official name for this type of passport is a "Jersey-variant British passport" and indeed the equivalents in the other crown dependencies are the Guernsey-variant British passport and the Isle of Man British passport: * Freedom of Information request answered by the HM Passport Office: "The Isle of Man, Jersey and Guernsey (Crown Dependencies) issue their own ‘variant’ British passports" * Page on the Jersey government website entitled Jersey variant British passports * Government of Jersey video on security features of the new blue passport * Jersey Evening Post: "Islanders who apply for a new passport will now be issued with a blue Jersey variant British passport, due to the UK’s departure from the EU." * Guernsey government: "Guernsey-variant British passports are issued to British nationals and should be recognised as such" * BBC Guernsey news: "Mr Taylor said the Guernsey variant differed solely in some of the text in the passport," * ITV Channel Islands news: "Jersey and Guernsey variant British passports will be produced in a central facility in the UK from March" * Guernsey police: "Part of the work of the Immigration and Nationality Division is to issue ‘Guernsey variant’ British passports to residents of the Bailiwick. For many years the ‘Guernsey variant’ British passport has been printed in Guernsey but the UK Government now requires all British passports, wherever applied for in the world, to be printed centrally in the UK." * Isle of Man Government page on the introduction of blue passports: "Once the transition to the new blue book is complete, then all Isle of Man variant British passport will be blue" I fail to see the counter-argument that Kreb is putting forward in their edit summaries. Wikipedia:Article titles says "Article titles are based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject." I therefore believe the title 'Jersey-variant British passport' is most appropriate. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:31, 17 April 2021 (UTC) Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 17:53, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – British Rail Class 373 → Eurostar e300 – The trains have absolutely nothing to do with Britain and the article names are just obscuring and distorting the facts, reality and history. Neither of the trains are British nor are they made by a British company. One is made by the French TGV and the other by the German Siemens. That alone is sufficient to have the articles use the naming convention of their respective manufacturer. However, both manufacturers refer to them as e300 and e320 because they're made and used exclusively for and by Eurostar. The majority of the train operations are in Belgium, France and the Netherlands and yet this article uses a British Rail company call sign, which ceased to exist 20 years ago. The trains literally have painted on them "Eurostar 320", Siemens naming (manufacturer), Pininfarina naming (designer of the train). The name is not used anywhere outside of English wikipedia and it's plain inaccurate and wrong. My previous move of the article was reverted by User:Redrose64 citing consensus "which has been in place for 10 years". The one on the naming convention was held on WikiProject_UK_Railway (completely irrelevant to the train) and even that barely passed the straw poll. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Railways/Archive 20#Naming convention Just because it has been in place for 10 years, doesn't make it right. Julius503 (talk) 08:28, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – World Wide Technology Raceway → Gateway Raceway – "Gateway" is overwhelmingly the WP:COMMONNAME used in sources, such as Road & Track, Autosport, Autoweek, the Indianapolis Star, Speedcafe, Racer, Speed Sport, Race Fans, and by Indycar themselves. The WP:OFFICIAL name seems to be rarely used in sources, if at all, and thus lacks the recognisability necessary for an article title. While "Gateway" is too vague by itself for a title, natural disambiguation can easily be derived from the addition of the word "Raceway"; "Circuit" or "Speedway" would also be appropriate disambiguators. The proposed title is also more WP:CONCISE than the current title while being equally WP:PRECISE. The current title can remain in the lead and infobox and as a redirect.

- (Discuss) – Alex Oliveira (fighter) → Alex Oliveira – Nominating on behalf of D-M. Quoting the nomination text:
The fighter is the more notable person under this name. The fighter competes in the premier organization of his sport, and was at least for a time being listed at least among the top 20 fighters in his weight division globally (as per this site). He has headed a main event in the UFC organization (UFC Fight Night: Cowboy vs. Cowboy). These appear to be overall more notable achievements than those of the footballer. The footballer played his career in 2nd and 3rd tier leagues in different countries. There seems very little media coverage on the footballer, despite competing in the overall far more notable sport. Recency should not be the issue as the footballer played well into the internet age, so digitally available media coverage should exist aplenty. It is difficult to evaluate as the footballer never competed in the English-speaking world, my research may indeed be biased.

- (Discuss) – Kiliya → Kiliia – Move to Kiliia, the romanized spelling of Кілія per WP:UKR, and for WP:CONSISTENCY of spelling with other place names in Ukraine. Raions (districts) are named in the pattern X Raion (Ukrainian is Кілійський раіон, Kiliiskyi raion). Subject-specific reliable sources will be most likely to use the name derived from Ukrainian. Second choice, move to Kilia which shows up in most search results, but is also the spelling used for other places, and not clearly the most common spelling for this place. Background: this town in Ukrainian former Bessarabia was the location of a Genoese fortress. Histories refer to it in Latin, Greek, Romanian, and Russian-language contexts. The modern name is spelled several ways, and it is also called Nova Kiliia (Нова Кілія) in Ukrainian, Kilia Nova in Latin, or Chilia Nouă in Romanian. Not to be confused with * Stara Kiliia (Chilia Veche, immediately across the river in Romania) * Kilia, Turkey (Şile, source of the Kilia figurine) The evidence for WP:COMMONNAME is weird and confusing, but strictly speaking the most common name appears to be Kilia. G Books results, per WP:SET, “since 2010” when current romanization was officially adopted, adding “Ukraine” to filter out other places (I don’t think it’s working as expected). * Kiliia “about 10 results,” 4 shown * Kiliya “4 results,” 4 shown * Kilia “Page 2 of about 1,560 results,” only 12 shown If you select a longer period, or search Google Scholar, you get many more results, but Kilia still comes out most common. For the surrounding raion, there are a paltry few results each for several spellings, including the official romanization Kiliiskyi raion. I am suggesting that we disambiguate the title by using the official Ukrainian romanization, rather than Kilia which is used for other places, and is recommended by WP:UKR for when there is no clear common name. —Michael Z. 19:36, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Prince Philip Movement → Cult of Prince Philip – or Prince Philip cult or Prince Philip movement (with lowercase 'm'). In a quick review of the cited sources, I do not find a well-accepted name for this religious movement. Thus, the title seems to be a descriptive phrase rather than a proper name. A lowercase 'm' would thus be more sensible. However, the word "movement" also does not seem to provide a very clear identification of the topic. The article says it is a cargo cult. At some risk of a WP:POVTITLE (e.g., per MOS:CULT), using the word "cult" might improve the title's clarity. — BarrelProof (talk) 18:31, 9 April 2021 (UTC) —Relisting. ~ Aseleste (t, e | c, l) 19:22, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Enfield Town → Enfield, London – The subject of this article is the entire town of Enfield, however the current name of the article, "Enfield Town", refers only to a specific part of Enfield. My view is that the name 'Enfield, London' would be more appropriate. The page located there is currently a redirect to the London Borough of Enfield article, which I would strongly argue is not the primary topic for 'Enfield, London'. It is merely a local government district containing Enfield, along with other areas. The name "Enfield" refers to the area covered by this article. I previously proposed that this article be moved to "Enfield" as the primary topic, however consensus amongst participants was that it did not meet WP:DETERMINEPRIMARY.

It attempts to equate distributing copies of someone's own copy of a video game with piracy – as in attacking ships and committing other violent acts. It also doesn't make any sense when thought about literally; you have to know that "piracy" actually means "copying/distributing without permission" to understand it. Of course, a redirect can solve that problem, but I don't think there's any reason to use a non-neutral name which is more common considering we can just redirect "Video game piracy" here.

- (Discuss) – Wayne Madsen (cricketer) → ? – Aside from being a cricketer, Madsen has also been an international field hockey player with South Africa, see [9]. As such, I believe that the article should be moved to a more general disambiguator e.g. Wayne Madsen (sportsperson). Open to suggestions on the disambiguator, but (cricketer) seems to be incorrect given that he's an international player in another sport. On the other hand, (field hockey) seems incorrect as disambiguation when he's spent the last 12 years playing cricket in England. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:22, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León → Autonomous University of Nuevo León – This is the form of the name listed in the opening.

With regard to this page, it's title is just a collection of essentially meaningless letters that definitely don't satisfy common name. Meanwhile, "Main Intelligence Directorate (GRU)" is equivalent to if Federal Protective Service (Russia) was instead titled "Federal Protective Service (FSO)", meaning it isn't made clear by the title that that GRU article is only about the Soviet GRU.

The Gomez album usage may be the most familiar to fans of the English rock band, but arguably not to film historians, hip hop enthusiasts, or magazine readers. Additionally, there are many other films and television episodes titled "Out West". Thus, per WP:NOPRIMARY, the base name should be the disambiguation page. --Animalparty!

Becky and Karen (pejorative) may be considered ethnic slurs in that context.

- (Discuss) – EDSA (road) → EDSA – Much of the subtopics under EDSA disambiguation page are related to or connected with EDSA, meaning it has gained the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Also, the page readership stats: EDSA (road) = 3,853 readers as compared to EDSA (company) = mere 221 readers. So there is no need to disambiguate if it is the real primary topic.

- (Discuss) – 2013 United States Capitol shooting → 2013 United States Capitol vehicular incident – The "shooting" part of the title only pertains to the officer-involved shooting that ended this incident. It doesn't imply any sort of criminal shooting targeting the United States Capitol or a specific individual(s) like 1954 United States Capitol shooting or 1998 United States Capitol shooting. The catalyst for this entire topic, and the true reason that this whole event was of any concern in the first place, was the motorist driving erratically. Plus, a number of the WP:RS sources provided for this very article mention the car chase over the shooting. As a result, I think it would be inaccurate to include "shooting" in the title as if that was the primary cause of concern here. However, if anyone is unsatisfied with the suggested new title, I am open to other suggestions. Love of Corey (talk) 05:30, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

Abu Simbel temples is the first result for a Google query for "abu simbel" despite Abu Simbel being the closer literal match, and the first few pages of results are almost all about the temples and not the village. Britannica's article on Abu Simbel is likewise about the temples and not the village. Abu Simbel temples has nearly twice as many monthly page views as Abu Simbel, and some of the page views for Abu Simbel are presumably people who meant to go to Abu Simbel temples instead so the real ratio is likely even more lopsided.

This way he would be called identically as his brother Casimir IV Jagiellon, who inherited his titles after his death, and would be neutral, presenting himself only as a member of the Jagiellonian dynasty.

- (Discuss) – The Flying Dutchman (opera) → Der fliegende Holländer – The English name of The Flying Dutchman is not overwhelming common enough to justify its use over the original German name, Der fliegende Holländer. Firstly, we must consider our Wikipedia practices; all 14 of our other Wikipedia articles on operas by Wagner use the, original, German names; this is the only one that does not. The most authoritative encyclopedia of music uses the German name (Grove), as do the two most important opera houses in English-Speaking countries (MET & ROH); other notable sites do as well (IMSLP, Operabase, Naxos and VIAF). While not fully reliable (but noteworthy, nonetheless), a Google search shows the English name recieves fewer results than the German name; suggesting not only the German name's dominance, but the lack of justification to use the English name. Flying Dutchman (disambiguation) has all English names, yes, but these all go back to the ship, not the opera... this is an opera, not a ship! Aza24 (talk) 23:11, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

I went to add something to the 2020 article yesterday and couldn't because of the undiscussed move. There are sources that say it was canceled and sources that say it was postponed. That's semantics... the same thing happened to all tournaments not played. The 2020 version was sponsored by Rogers but not so the 2021 edition. If it was truly postponed there would be two events this year, are there, no. And then 2021 would need to be postponed till 2022, and so on. It's one thing to redirect the 2020 article to 2021, but another to move it. Now if I want to create info for the 2020 event, the history is in the wrong place. This is not what we did to 2020 Wimbledon Championships and 2020 BNP Paribas Open. We should move this article with its history back to 2020 and create a brand new 2021 article. I tried speedy move but an admin says since it's been moved for a month he considers it stable... so I have to do this formally. Fyunck(click) (talk) 20:57, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ikon → Ikon (disambiguation) – Given that the computing/UI sense is, for many years now, by far the primary meaning in Enlish of icon (and always with a c), that ikon with a k is increasingly used for the religious term as a form of natural disambiguation and was the original spelling anyway, and that subject is by far the primary meaning of ikon with a k, the present three article names make no sense at all and don't comply with WP:AT or WP:DAB. I think this proposed rearrangement would do so, and would generally be helpful. I found it downright weird that Ikon was a disambiguation page rather than the religious images article, that that article was at Icon and that the latter didn't go to the computing topic which is what the word means to about 95% of readers, most of whom don't even now that the term originated from small Orthodox Christian paintings. To the extent the average reader even has any sense of another meaning of icon wit a c, it's another derived and figural one ("pop icon", "iconic film", etc.) With a k, though, the religious paintings are obviously the primary topic for that spelling. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 15:53, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Alex Rutherford → Diana Preston – Diana Preston has written at least 15 books, most of them under her real name "Diana Preston". She used a pseudonym "Alex Rutherford" for a fictional series, but she is best known for her non-fiction works as Diana Preston. This is easily demonstrated by library holdings and user holdings. Whoever created/named this article appears to be only interested in her fiction work and mostly ignored her non-fiction which make up the bulk of her writing. Her biography article should be a normal biographical article under her real name. She also published some books with her husband, but most were done by her alone. Once renamed, I will begin to build a proper biography of Diana Preston, and include information about her pseudonym and co-authors. GreenC 03:13, 3 April 2021 (UTC)—Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Triple X syndrome → Trisomy X – Three years ago now, this (as bundled with the pentasomy X move) closed as no consensus. I think it's time to revisit the topic again, considering recent work on these articles, the longstanding name consistency for the other disorders, and the nuances of WP:COMMONNAME. The matter of "what's the single most common name for this disorder?" (which is a slightly different thing to the COMMONNAME policy, which explicitly discusses both ambiguity and contexts where a less common name is appropriate) is ambiguous, but points overall to trisomy X. NORD, Orphanet, and AXYS use "trisomy X". Mayo, Medline, and Cleveland use "triple X syndrome". Unique uses both. My consistent impression is that patient organizations have a strong preference away from 'triple X syndrome', and this is reflected in much of the literature, which for sex chromosome aneuploidies is intertwined enough with those organizations that it's difficult to draw a fine line. The publications of the researchers most preeminent in this field trend towards trisomy X, see e.g. Tartaglia (random papers drawn from that sample: 1, 2). Trisomy X is the term used by the eXtraordinarY Kids Program, one of the major evaluation and treatment programs for sex chromosome aneuploidies. Overall, although "triple X syndrome" has nontrivial use, the preference in recent years and amongst those who work directly in this field is away from it and towards "trisomy X". In addition, there's the consistency argument. Tetrasomy X and pentasomy X have been at the polysomy titles for four and three years respectively without issue, and standardizing the set by having all three in the same place can only be a positive. There's also an argument for conciseness here (two words over three). Overall, I think our article policies point strongly in the direction that "trisomy X" is the preferable name. It's the preference amongst patient and support organizations, at worst equal to the current title on the grand scale, and consistent with our other usage. It's also, well, a much less awkward phrasing, which doesn't hurt. Vaticidalprophet 06:53, 10 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Born Slippy .NUXX → Born Slippy Nuxx – Brilliant song and but rather awkwardly named, and rather title-MOS unfriendly. The name "Born Slippy" refers to a completely different song so should not be used, to avoid confusion. The suffix "Nuxx" is a stylisation in all-caps and with a full stop, the 2003 re-release simply named it "Born Slippy Nuxx"; and it is named "Born Slippy (Nuxx)" on digital and streaming services. As it seems to be part of the title, I am in favour of the former, though the latter is more acceptable as a title than the current one too. Lazz_R 04:46, 6 April 2021 (UTC)

I propose the Canadian article be restored with its edit history at the new location, clearing way for a new article on the brand at this location. The short Australian section can remain as is, while a new summary of the Canadian section is built for the new article at this "BBC Kids" location, and a rollback to the old Canada only article appear at the new "(Canada)" location -- 67.70.27.246 (talk) 11:32, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Reuse of excreta → Use of animal waste – Excreta, as defined here, is the same as manure is defined in that eponymous article. The inclusion of human manure make this article more wide ranging and connects it with a number of other articles on sanitation, but it is still the same material with the same potential uses and the same risks and opportunities. Excreta is " metabolic waste (which) is eliminated from an organism. In vertebrates this is primarily carried out by the lungs, kidneys, and skin" and does not include faeces, menses, vomit etc. which are all components of manure. Excretion is a scientific term with a precise meaning which, in this article, is being unduly expanded to include all wastes produced or ejected from the mammalian body. The use of the word Excreta seems to me to be used here as a euphemism, and Wikipedia has no truck with euphemisms. Velella Velella Talk 18:44, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Autocephaly → Autocephaly and autonomy (Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches) – The article currently covers both subjects, and both subjects are closely related. The concepts exists in both churches, e.g. ROCOR and Jacobite Syrian Christian Church.
Moreover, it will be useful to have a page which explains what the autonomy of a Church means in the E. and O. Orthodox Churches. Currently, the article explains what autonomy in the EO and OO Churches is (the concepts, as far as I know, are the same in both churches so by describing the concepts as seen by the EO Church we have the description as understood in the OO Church); despite this, there is no go-to article to explain the concept of autonomy in this context, due to the name of the article.
The word "autonomy" can mean numerous things, this is why I believe it is important to add "(Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches)" next to the title, and also because of WP:PRECISE. Veverve (talk) 19:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Also appears in French sources too such as the French versions of the Qantara-Med and Museum With No Frontiers pages, or the standard reference L'architecture musulmane d'Occident by Marçais (1954; p. 272). There's a second, longer, spelling which I just added to the lead but it's clearly not considered the common one in the same sources. The current spelling may be a local spelling variation, but I can't verify that and it doesn't seem to be found in independent sources. R Prazeres (talk) 02:14, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Welsh fiscal deficit → Government spending in Wales – "Deficit" is a loaded term. Even if the word "deficit" is meaningful in the context of UK finance, it refers to a current situation that may not exist in the future. It seems to me that it would be more useful to look at the whole question of the financing of countries with devolved governments rather than dwelling on one aspect of it. Although the title I'm suggesting is based on existing articles such as Government spending in the United Kingdom and Government spending in the United States, I'm open to suggestions for alternative article titles. I'm bringing this here because discussion on the Talk page suggests it is likely to be controversial, with opinion evenly divided between those who see a "fiscal deficit" as a problem and those who see it in a historical context.

- (Discuss) – Tijuca Forest → Tijuca National Park – To me it makes more sense to have the article on the (well-defined) National Park (NP) rather than the (poorly-defined) Forest. The NP seems to be referred to more both in English and Portuguese (pt-wiki redirects from Forest to NP). The UNESCO page http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1100 refers exclusively to the NP, Brazilian government websites use it more (compare: https://www.gov.br/pt-br/@@search?SearchableText=%22Parque+Nacional+da+Tijuca%22 to https://www.gov.br/pt-br/@@search?SearchableText=%22Floresta+da+Tijuca%22) , and a google maps search for 'Tijuca Forest' will take you to 'Tijuca National Park' in both languages. If anyone has more sources that would provide insight, I would appreciate it. It can be said that the NP and Forest are not exactly equivalent (eg, there are forested areas not in the park boundaries), but to me it makes more sense to have the NP as the main article.

I'd also like to ask the closing admin to give more attention to the arguments being made rather than the vote counts, as there are people who go over each RM and repeat unrelated policies as an "Oppose" argument. — CuriousGolden (T·C) 16:43, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Catalan vault → Tile vault – Because the current title of this architectural technique is neither neutral nor accurate (does not describe the technique itself) but geographical, and was created with political connotations, so the current title does not follow Wikipedia's naming conventions. 88.22.228.43 (talk) 16:06, 10 March 2021 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – N ray → N rays – The standard usage in discussion of this is of the plural form, as in "scientists believed they had discovered a new form of radiation, dubbed N rays."

- (Discuss) – Fez, Morocco → Fes – The city isn't called Fez, it sounds nothing like the real name, the name Fes is widely used in the real world and sounds like the Arabic name.

- (Discuss) – Romanian Television → Romanian Television Society – even if "Romanian Television" is the common name, I think it's too general considering that there are many other television channels in Romania. This name may confuse readers into thinking that they are reading an article about television in Romania when reading the title. The official name of this channel, "Romanian Television Society", is more appropriate in my opinion and is not too long. Super Ψ Dro 11:13, 20 March 2021 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Shots Fired → Shots Fired (TV series) – There is now an article for the song Shots Fired (song), so it will probably be necessary to disambiguate this page and add a hatnote to both pages, as I don't think either article will be the primary topic. I could possibly have been bold and done this myself, but I'm not sure if this is the correct disambiguator to use here, so I'm looking for consensus for the disambiguator and to make the move.

- (Discuss) – 2001 Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao expansion and inclusion plebiscite → 2001 Mindanao autonomy plebiscite – To align with the 2019 Bangsamoro autonomy plebiscite, a pithier title than this one. That 2019 plebiscite replaced the political structure created by this plebiscite, plus giving a definite name for the region: "Bangsamoro". In 2001, the "Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao" already existed; curiously, you can't call it simply as "Muslim Mindanao", but either by its whole name or by "ARMM". (I believe local media and Wikipedia has mostly followed this nomenclature.) In 1989, when the ARMM was made, there was an understanding that no plebiscite can ever be inclusive to merit the simple name of "Muslim Mindanao", hence they used "Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao" instead of "Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao" (compare "Republic of the Philippines") as there would always be parts of Muslim Mindanao that is not included in the ARMM. Now, while this plebiscite includes places outside of Mindanao (primarily Palawan), the WP:NC of this exercise was that it happened mostly in Mindanao. Once the 1989 plebiscite is created, if the RM is approved, it should also also be named as "1989 Mindanao autonomy plebiscite". Howard the Duck (talk) 18:06, 18 March 2021 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 1990 Cordillera Autonomous Region creation plebiscite → 1990 Cordillera autonomy plebiscite – Pithier titles than the current ones; also aligns nicely with the 2019 Bangsamoro autonomy plebiscite.

- (Discuss) – San Luis Potosí City → San Luis Potosí (city) – Both the city and the eponymous state are very prominent, but current consensus indicates the states having the status of WP:PRIMARYTOPICs. Result of the latest page move for Puebla resulted in the article neing moved to Puebla (city) (see Talk:Puebla (city)/Archive 1#Requested move 16 November 2018). As such it is fair to have all other eponymous Mexican cities be titled as "CITYNAME (city)". But since this may attract controversy to some, a page move request for one major Mexican city will be initiated for now (not a single request for all eponymous Mexican cities).

- (Discuss) – Confederate naming commission → Confederate Base Naming Commission – This article was recently renamed to "Confederate naming commission". There are two issues with this title. 1) It is not capitalized. Proper nouns such as the names of commissions are capitalized. Examples: European Commission, Finance Commission, National Human Rights Commission of India, Trilateral Commission, Brundtland Commission. 2) This name (without the word "base") is not used anywhere. It has zero results on Google. [20]. I propose that we move it back to its previous title and capitalization of "Confederate Base Naming Commission", which is how it is written in this defense.gov announcement.

- (Discuss) – Beechcraft King Air → Beechcraft King Air 90 and 100 – Textron Beechcraft recently discontinued the C90GTx and is thus no longer producing any King Air 90/100 series aircraft. The 200/300 series remains popular, and for the past 25 years, it has been marketed solely as the King Air rather than the Super King Air. Per WP:COMMONNAME, the 200/300 series should be called by the name that the manufacturer now uses, and per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the default "King Air" page should not discuss a discontinued aircraft rather than the popular current-production aircraft. The relationship between the aircraft would be explained with hatnotes, and I propose that the search term "Beechcraft King Air" would redirect to the current-production 200/300 series, although I would be open to other suggestions. This proposal replaces a previous merger proposal that I've withdrawn because it proved unpopular. Carguychris (talk) 15:12, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Psicose → Allulose – Reasoning: 1. Allulose is a synonym (see Merriam Webster) 2. Both allulose and D-psicose are used in recent scientific literature (see Google Scholar) 3.

- (Discuss) – Mark Watson (Canadian soccer) → Mark Watson (Canadian soccer player) – "Canadian soccer" sounds a bit weird like its a separate sport like "Canadian Football" and "American Football" for the non-round ball football. There is another player who is English whose page is at Mark Watson (English footballer), which is why the nationality was added, but I think player should be added to match better. Alternative would be to use year of birth as is standard for other players of the sport and move to Mark Watson (soccer, born 1970) and Mark Watson (footballer, born 1973) for the Canadian and English player respectively, but I think the single move adding soccer suffices. Although he is a manager now, so maybe simply Mark Watson (soccer) would work better. RedPatchBoy (talk) 22:28, 15 March 2021 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Tripurari Swami → Bhaktivedanta Tripurari – Unlike sannyasis in ISKCON, of which the subject hasn't been part since the 1980s, the "Swami" is a) not part of Tripurari's name and b) does not come after it when used as a title. His name is Bhaktivedanta Tripurari, or [Swami] BV Tripurari for short, and this should be the article title, which it was until 2014. Wikipedia doesn't use "Swami" or "Goswami" for Gaudiya Vaishnava sannyasis when it not part of their name: So we have Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati (not Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami), Bhakti Hridaya Bon (not Swami Bon), Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar (not Swami BR Sridhar), etc. (The "Swami" in A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami was part of his name, equivalent to the Tripurari in Bhaktivedanta Tripurari). Please see Tripurari's official website and this tribute from a sannyasa disciple on the Tripurari-owned Harmonist.us.

- (Discuss) – Kiçik Qarabəy → Mokhratagh – This is a difficult move to argue for or against due to the lack of significance for the settlment and a lack of sources discussing this vilage at all. However, my main argument for making this move is that Mokhratagh is the name used by the actual residents of the village, both historically and currently. Furthermore, I can't find any referenece to this village being called "Kiçik Qarabəy" by the de-jure Azerbaijani authorities, whereas Mokhratagh is the name used by the de-facto Artsakh authorities. Finally, the change would reflect the need for using anglicized names. Achemish (talk) 19:07, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
