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 to article space – Unconfirmed users: add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- 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.

Contested technical requests
- Blade (film) → Blade (1998 film) (move) – Blade (2023 film) has been announced to release in 2023, and it shares the name of this 1998 film. Since there is no primary topic, and I cannot move this due to a redirect, I need a page mover to perform this for me. — SirDot (talk) 09:16, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

- Agree. Dr. Vogel (talk) 11:53, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Disagree. If the other film is discussed on Wikipedia, the 1998 film should be properly disambiguated. The other film doesn't need to have a separate article in order to be considered worthy of consideration under Wikipedia policies & guidelines. The upcoming film appears to be a major film, and thus of great interest to Wikipedia readers. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:19, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
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 24 July 2022" and sign the post for you.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the affected page:
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 pages, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move
| current1 = Current title of page 1
| 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 should 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 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
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
This list is also available in a page-link-first format and in table format. 42 discussions have been relisted.

- (Discuss) – Jam Factory → Jam Factory (music publisher) – There doesn't seem to be a WP:PRIMARY TOPIC for this title. In web searches and Google Books results, topics without Wikipedia articles/not listed at the DAB page predominate. "Publisher", "publishers" and "music publisher" are all used as disambiguators for similar topics. — AjaxSmack 18:03, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Fatimah → Fatima – Dropping the 'h' in Fatimah: Quoting Apaugasma, "though WP:MOSAR allows both "-a" and "-ah" for ta' marbuta, '-a' is used more often both in reliable sources and on Wikipedia." Moreover, this change would address the inconsistency on the disambiguation page Fatima, on which Fatimah appears currently. Fatima--->Fatima (disambiguation): As noted by Iskandar323, Fatima bint Muhammad is the preeminent Fatima which justifies this move. This move would in turn enable us to change Fatimah--->Fatima, which follows WP:CONCISE, as noted by Mhhossein, and matches the pages of other prominent early Muslims, including Muhammad, Ali, Abu Bakr, Umar, Aisha, etc. Albertatiran (talk) 17:31, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Battle of Lysychansk → Fall of Lysychansk – I've just read the article and fighting from 25 June to 3 July in the area occurred mostly in the villages and towns surrounding Lysychansk, not in Lysychansk proper. Fighting in the city itself barely happened and when it did, it was mostly on its outskirts, specially the Lysychansk Oil Refinery from what I see. The article also includes one single sentence about confirmed fighting in the city's center which is followed in another paragraph by another sentence saying LPR "officials" were already claiming that Lysychansk was under their full control. This was not a serious battle like nearby Sievierodonetsk was. Lysychansk was arguably even more defensible than Sievierodonetsk and could have lasted longer had it not been part of an ever more narrow cauldron in the constant risk of being surrounded. Ukrainian forces stayed on the city until the last moment and withdrew when it was clear Lysychansk was surrounded, there was not a battle. So I believe the current title should not be kept, and "Fall of Lysychansk" seems like a viable alternative to me. Super Ψ Dro 17:30, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Israel and the apartheid analogy → Israel and apartheid – Per #Splitting proposal above, this article covers both (1) the analogy with South Africa and (2) Apartheid (crime), which is not an analogy but a legal assessment. Simpler title better achieves WP:CONSIST (e.g. United States and state terrorism) and WP:CONCISE. Onceinawhile (talk) 09:10, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Honour Among Thieves → Honour Among Thieves (novel) – It is not apparent that the 1993 novel is the primary topic of this much older common phrase. Quite frankly, the forthcoming big-budget and star-studded Dungeons & Dragons movie incorporating this name already has many times the pageviews of the 1993 novel. BD2412 T 03:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Sound of Music → The Sound of Music (musical) – The Best Picture-winning 1965 film appears to hold at least equal, if not higher, historical standing than the stage musical that debuted in 1959. Alternatively, I would support exchange of WP:PRIMARYTOPICS — The Sound of Music → The Sound of Music (musical) alongside The Sound of Music (film) → The Sound of Music. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 03:47, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Madonna → Madonna (entertainer) – Does Madonna Ciccone really triumph the Mary, mother of Jesus when it comes to the name Madonna?

- (Discuss) – Pattani Kingdom → Patani Kingdom – This should not be a controversial move, given that the great majority of sources (see the cited sources in article, e.g. [2][3][4]) spell the kingdom or sultanate as Patani rather than Pattani. However, I recognise the potential for dispute given the possible political interpretation of the spelling - briefly "Patani" (one "t") is a spelling preferred by the native Malays (who may desire separation from Thailand), while "Pattani" (two "t"s) is used by the Thai authority - [5], hence I'm listing it for discussion. In academic circles, the consensus appears to be that "Patani" should be used for the historical place/kingdom, while "Pattani" should be used for the modern province, a discussion on the usage of Pattani/Patani is given here in pages 28-29. You can also find notes and explanations given in various books for their differing usage - [6][7][8][9][10]. Changing the name to "Patani Kingdom" would be consistent with academic usage.

- (Discuss) – Spinifex (plant) → ? – Similarly to the recent nasturtium case, here we have a disambiguator that doesn't disambiguate much: plants in the genus Triodia are also commonly known as "spinifex". I think the most natural disambiguator would be "coastal grass" (the other spinifex is also a grass, but it grows inland). Disambiguation by subfamily ("Panicoideae") is probably not optimal as that name is hardly recognisable, while "genus" should – obviously, I'd have thought – be off the table because the other plant is also a genus. – Uanfala (talk) 10:42, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Claims of genocide of Ukrainians in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine → Risk of genocide of Ukrainians in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine – Remove the doubt word “WP:claim.” It is WP:NPOV to cast doubt since a reliable source found that violations of the Genocide Convention exist, an imminent risk of genocide exists, and an obligation on all states to prevent it exists. Specifically, the New Lines/Wallenberg reportconcluded that there are “1) reasonable grounds to believe Russia is responsible for (i) direct and public incitement to commit genocide, and (ii) a pattern of atrocities from which an inference of an intent to destroy the Ukrainian national group in part can be drawn; and 2) the existence of a serious risk of genocide in Ukraine, triggering the legal obligation of all States to prevent genocide.” [11][12] It is also important that the title is specific and unambiguous, not only per the WP:CRITERIA, but especially avoiding confusion with “False accusations of genocide in Donbas,” an article about Russian accusations in a mirror, and the issue covered better in “Ukraine v. Russian Federation (2022).” Another possible title is Allegations of genocide of Ukrainians in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, but it is inferior. The subject here is the actual acts of the Russian state which are thought to constitute genocide, and which have beef followed by allegations, warnings, accusations, investigations, or other responses. Consensus in the previous #Requested move 10 May 2022 was that the subject is not “investigations.” —Michael Z. 17:24, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

See [15] as one example. Didn’t want to go ahead and change the name straight away, because I think people do refer to it as Southampton Golf Course, but I think the term Southampton City Golf Course was more commonly used by the previous management.

"Centre Pawn Opening" (used by Hooper & Whyle, 1994) is another possibility, but "MacLeod Attack" is an invention of Schiller (1998) and is not recommended.

Only thing I'm unsure about is whether "women's" is needed in the title - it was included at Sunrisers due to Sunrisers Hyderabad, depends if it is felt that the existence of other Lightnings such as Lancashire Lightning requires the disambiguation.

Unfortunately there's too many to fit into one pageviews query, so here's two links. For long-term significance: Of the other articles called Liberal Democratic Party ([country]), all are minor parties, and most never won any parliamentary seats. Contrast that with this article, which is about a party that has governed Japan for the vast majority of the last 70 years. YttriumShrew (talk) 20:32, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Tiffany Darwish → Tiffany – Why is Tiffany Darwish's surname being used as part of this article's name? She's not generally speaking known by her full name, she has never been known by her full name on any music videos or any merchandise like posters, t-shirts, tours, etc. There's no confusion between her and Tiffany Young with the latter going by and being known by her full name. Even if there were two people sharing the same mononym that's still not a good enough reason to include the surnames of both of them when one of them has never really been known by her surname and a simple (born 1971) for Tiffany Darwish and (born 1989) for Tiffany Young would solve it anyway. We all know that Madonna's full name is Madonna Ciccone, but her surname isn't used in the article's name about her because she's never gone by her surname, the same goes for Tiffany.

- (Discuss) – Python brongersmai → Blood python – This species has a well accepted and unambiguous common name, so I suggest that this article should use that title. The target name has apparently always led to this topic and in fact was the name of the article about this snake before 2007. There was a page move of 2007 when someone moved it away from that name with an edit summary saying "Scientific names should be used for page names on biological organisms whenever possible to avoid confusion." That is not Wikipedia's current naming convention, which prefers common names. I've had a little trouble tracing the page history – I wonder if there was a WP:CUTPASTE move. Some of the edit history is now at Python curtus brongersmai, where the 2007 article was moved and then later converted to a redirect in 2014. This species was previously considered a subspecies of Python curtus, but was elevated to species status. In fact the binomial name situation is a bit confusing, since older sources would call this snake P. curtus instead of P. brongersmai. The Reptile Database does not show "blood python" as a common name for P. curtus; it only shows that name for P. brongersmai. An NGram chart is here. The suggested term is also more popular than "Python brongersmai" in Google Scholar and vastly more popular in a Google Advanced Search for exact phrases. — BarrelProof (talk) 04:38, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

If further disambiguation is needed, because there is more than one sculpture of the same person with an article, then disambiguation by location rather than the sculptor is usually better. This may be done as either "Statue of Fred Foo (Chicago)" (typically preferred for North America) or "Statue of Fred Foo, Glasgow" (typically preferred elsewhere).

- (Discuss) – Afghanistan conflict (1978–present) → ? – Altogether these wars are not all the Afghanistan conflict, but separate conflicts that have taken place in Afghanistan. The way this article and name is set up now makes it look like this is a single conflict. The situation in Afghanistan differs from, say, Colombian conflict. I was thinking of changing to Internal conflict in Afghanistan, as 'Internal' takes into account the smaller regional conflicts that have taken place like the Taliban-ISIL conflict or the border skirmishes. Internal conflict in Myanmar uses this format as well. Additionally I think this article needs a cutting down, since there is so much duplicates with the main articles - it reads almost like History of Afghanistan. Articles like Congolese Civil War and Insurgency in Yemen are simply bulleted lists of separate conflicts that have taken place, just as is the case in Afghanistan.

- (Discuss) – Mount Albert (New Zealand) → Ōwairaka / Mount Albert – following the precedent of using a slash for the official names of New Zealand features, such as Aoraki / Mount Cook and Whakaari / White Island, other Tūpuna Maunga are now known by dual names, like Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill and Maungawhau / Mount Eden. Ōwairaka / Mount Albert reflects the Auckland Council's (reserve managers) and Tūpuna Maunga Authority's (administrators) multiple websites, brochures, signage and maps that the public use to access the maunga. Council and TMA often use three names (Ōwairaka / Te Ahi-kā-a-Rakataura / Mount Albert), but media sources most commonly use two (Ōwairaka / Mount Albert), as can be seen in many of the article's references, including from New Zealand Herald, Radio New Zealand and Stuff. As per WP article title criteria, this move improves recognisability by using the duel names that are commonly used online and offline, consistency with the other Tūpuna Maunga article names, and precision by moving away from the name shared with the Mt Albert suburb and Mt Albert electorate. As established in previous moves, dual names often provide naturalness and concision in New Zealand. E James Bowman (talk) 06:39, 20 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Virtuous circle and vicious circle → Vicious circle – This archived 2019 comment from User:Nareek suggests that the title should be the other way around, as "vicious circle" is the much more common phrase.

- (Discuss) – MERS-CoV → MERS-related coronavirus – Please see the similar just-closed RM at Talk:SARS-related coronavirus#Requested move 9 July 2022. This article was recently renamed (from a title different from what I am suggesting here). However, I suggest that this proposed name would be more WP:RECOGNIZEable for most readers. I made this suggestion in the recent RM at Talk:SARS-CoV-2#Requested move 21 June 2022, but there was no reaction to my suggestion at the time, as the focus of that discussion was about whether to abbreviate MERS or not. I think the current title is now overly abbreviated to a degree that makes it difficult for readers to recognize. — BarrelProof (talk) 07:59, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Dark Knight (film) → The Dark Knight – This page has previously been nominated to be moved to The Dark Knight five times, the last of which was in 2013 (nine years ago). In practically all of those discussions, opponents cited WP:RECENTISM as a reason why the page could not be considered a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC yet. It has now been 14 years since The Dark Knight's release, and there should no longer be any doubt that this film is the primary topic of the term
The Dark Knight
and demonstrates long-term significance, especially considering its numerous accolades and significant cultural impact. The Dark Knight (film) is the most-viewed article on the Dark Knight disambiguation page, and virtually all Google News results for "The Dark Knight" pertain to the film and not the character. Readers who are searching for Batman's alias are also more likely to type inDark Knight
rather thanThe Dark Knight
, and a simple hatnote linking to Batman should be sufficient to address any concerns. InfiniteNexus (talk) 06:10, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Orchidaceae → Orchid – Second try after the previous discussion above. Orchid is the common name of the plant family in google scholar ([51] [52]). Even the article itself uses orchid more than the technical term. Orchid better satisfies the five WP:CRITERIA: * It is more recognizable than the technical term. * It is more natural. Again, most readers will search using the common, non-techical term. * It is precise enough. Orchid already redirects here and is the clear WP:PrimaryTopic. Saying "orchid can mean other things" goes against primary topic policy, which is a core policy followed by many, many other articles. Like apple, another plant term which is much more ambiguous than orchid, but is also the primary topic. * It is more concise. * It is consistent with other plant taxa like ferns, oaks, cactus and others which use the common, vernacular name rather than the techical one. It is also in line with WP:FLORATITLES, since orchids have
an agricultural, horticultural, economic or cultural role or use that makes it more prominent in some other field than in botany
. Probably the horticultural role is the most prominent, but orchids also have an important cultural role per Orchidaceae#Cultural symbolism. Finally, there was an argument in the previous RM that "not all Orchids are Orchidaceae". Apart from the primary topic policy mentioned above, the dictionary definition is that an orchid is a member of Orchidaceae ([53]). There was also the argument that I need to show all the 28,000 orchid species have "orchid" in their name. But that is obviously impossible to do. And it is not how naming works in general, since all orchids are also monocots, but they are not necessarily called with that name. It fact they are almost never called using that name. To sum up, established policies and guidelines strongly support changing the name to "orchid". Vpab15 (talk) 11:11, 10 July 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

- (Discuss) – Boston Braves → Boston Braves (disambiguation) – Clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the name. The other three entries include a minor league hockey team that lasted three years and a rugby league team (an exceedingly minor sport in the US) that doesn't even have its own article (the latter essentially is not notable at all). The only one that is remotely as notable is the football team. Which used the name for one year before changing their name. The Washington Commanders are undoubtedly notable, but they are not nearly well known by this name. And not anywhere the primary topic for this name, which is easily most associated with the baseball team. A quick Google search clearly shows as well that the baseball team is the expected result far beyond any of the other entries, which is exactly what PRIMARYTOPIC calls for. (As an aside, the page needs cleanup. Two of the links are redirects, which doesn't meet the diwambiguation page guidelines.) oknazevad (talk) 01:13, 19 July 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Neo-bop jazz → Neo-bop – One, consistency: bebop, hard bop, and post bop all go without the unnecessary "jazz". Two, short, precise titles are better than long ones, as "bop" indicates the music is a genre of jazz. Three, sources such as Allmusic and the NEH use the title. Websites using the "neo-bop jazz" title use the extended title because their content was copied from Wikipedia. --Comment by Selfie City (talk about my contributions) 21:34, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Ruston (engine builder) → Ruston & Hornsby – This company's history consists of one merger after another followed by name changes so there is no perfect article name here. The current name seems awkward and the proposed name is both a WP:NATURAL disambiguation and comes closer to being WP:COMMONNAME. Within Wikipedia editors show high regard for the proposed name as there are more than a hundred articles pointing to the article through the Ruston & Hornsby redirect and, even amongst articles pointing directly to Ruston (engine builder), many display that link as "Ruston & Hornsby" for readers (examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5). Off Wikipedia it's even more stark, with the following results on Google Advanced Search: the phrase "Ruston & Hornsby" + "engine" gets 32,700 hits (link) while "Ruston" + "engine" without "Hornsby" gets only 389 (link).

- (Discuss) – McKinnon Wood → Thomas McKinnon Wood – Someone has previously redirected Thomas McKinnon Wood to McKinnon Wood, apparently assuming "McKinnon" was his preferred given name. The evidence I have now cited on this page shows that he treated "McKinnon Wood" as a double-barrelled surname, but continued to use Thomas as his given name, and therefore "Thomas McKinnon Wood" is the better common name for the page title. The system won't let me do the move myself, presumably because of the redirect page which already exists at Thomas McKinnon Wood. Stortford (talk) 07:08, 11 July 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Cut River (Roscommon County, Michigan) → The Cut – While some seemingly "official" sources, including maps and road signs posted by the local road commission, refer to this hydrologic feature as "Cut River," the official name as listed in the U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System is "The Cut." The USGS' GNIS is the repository for all officially-recognized names for any named natural feature in the United States and there is a specific process by which features are named or renamed by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names (BGN). While a geographic feature may be referred to by any number of other names for any number of reasons, each feature has only one officially-recognized name—the one listed in the USGS GNIS. An example would be Denali. While many still may refer to it as Mount McKinley, it is properly listed in Wikipedia as "Denali." Similarly, "The Cut" should be listed with its proper name and then noted that it is labeled on some maps and referred to by some as "Cut River" as well. (Another side benefit to using its official name would be to limit confusion with the much more widely known Cut River in Mackinac County.) Some supporting documentation: *USGS GNIS Listing for "The Cut" – note under the "Variant Names" heading, there are "None" for this feature, meaning "Cut River" is not an official variant name for "The Cut." *USGS GNIS Search for anything with the word "Cut" in the name in Roscommon County, Michigan – no other features in Roscommon County have the word "Cut" in the name, meaning "The Cut" is not a distinct feature from "Cut River," for example. *"The Cut" on a c.1930 Hixon Map of Roscommon County *"The Cut" on a 1955 Michigan DNR Map of Roscommon County *"The Cut" on the 1963 USGS "Lyon Manor" 1:24,000 quad *"The Cut" on the 1963 USGS "Lyon Manor" 1:24,000 quad *"The Cut" on the 1963 USGS "Prudenville" 1:24,000 quad *"The Cut" on the 1984 USGS "Houghton Lake" 1:100,000 quad *"The Cut" on the "South Higgins Lake State Park" map, Michigan DNR, 2017 *"The Cut" on the Michigan State Forest Boundaries & Campgrounds mapping app, Michigan DNR, 2022 *I also have official Michigan State Highway Department maps of Roscommon County from 1938, 1939, 1940, 1945, 1948, 1957 and 1969 in my possession with the feature in question labeled solely as "The Cut" on every one of the maps. If desired, I could come up with many more sources labelling this feature as "The Cut" as well as sources dating back earlier than the 1930 map included above. However, in my professional opinion (as a cartographer), the fact that the official Federal database of geographic names lists it solely as "The Cut"—and that entry is even currently linked in the Wikipedia article at present!—should be more than enough reason to move this article to "The Cut" with a redirect left at "Cut River (Roscommon County, Michigan)."

On the Hebrew Wikipeda Cohn is a bit more popular, with 817 views a month [57]. The chef, who properly spells his name in English as Haim Cohen, unlike the Cohn spelling mistake, get 4,677 views a month [58]. This is a comparison chart of the two in views [59] over many years, even in the TV off season, Cohen has like double or tripe the views, and when one of his TV shows are in season, it's like off the charts.

- (Discuss) – 23rd Infantry Division (United States) → Americal Division – WP:COMMONNAME. Page was at Americal Division until it was moved without discussion in 2008. The official World War II history of the division, US Army sources, and even the official division reports overwhlemingly use the name Americal Division rather than its numerical designation. The division veterans organization is named Americal Division veterans. Wikipedia policy discourages use of the official name of a subject in cases where the official name is not the most common name of the subject, see WP:COMMONNAME and WP:OFFICIALNAMES. However, given the use in official sources published by the division of Americal Division as its name, it is questionable whether 23rd Infantry Division even has dominance as the official name. For example, a newspapers.com search of American newspapers from 1968 to 1971 gives 44k hits for Americal Division and only 3k matches for 23rd Infantry Division. Press coverage of My Lai, which the division received the most coverage for, mostly does not even mention the numerical division of the unit and refers to it solely as Americal. This would seem to be overwhelming evidence that Americal Division was the common name during Vietnam despite the official numbering. Our article should be at the most common name for the unit regardless of an insistence on strictly adhering to official nomenclature even when the latter is relatively rarely used.

- (Discuss) – Battle of the Siverskyi Donets → May 2022 battle of the Donets – The last RM has ended in nothing, but I still argue that the title is not precise and that there's far better possible options. We are already in late June and I haven't seen this event receiving much attention lately. I think people in a few years could see the current title and not be sure what to expect. It could be an article about WW2, the 2014 war, the 2022 invasion, maybe even some Mongol invasion. So it is clear that there's basis for calling this a battle and not an incident or similar. A "near Bilohorivka" type of title is also problematic since the article has been expanded ever since the last RM was started and it now includes other attempted crossings on other villages not particularly less notable than Bilohorivka. Thus, I propose May 2022 battle of the Donets. The month of May has passed and I believe there have not been other notable events at the river during the invasion, so adding the month and year to the title would suffice for precision. Adding only the year would not be enough as I can tell from memory right now that on April there was fighting going on in the river after the Russians won in Izium. I would also like to drop "Siverskyi" from the current title as the river's name in Wikipedia is Donets. Furthermore, "Siverskyi Donets" is the name in Ukrainian but the river also passes through Russia. May 2022 battle at the Donets is another option, less proper name-like and more natural, and it could enter into consideration. However, I don't want this RM to end in no consensus again so I will not be striving too hard for this, and "May 2022 battle of the Donets" remains as the primary proposal.
