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.
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; for example, 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.
Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be 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.
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.
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 previous 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 a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you mayrequest a technical move.
If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."
To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new 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.
Pebet (bird)→Pebet (currently a redirect instead to Karuka) (move·discuss) – The target page is redirected to a page which mentions word "pebet" only once, which is not even cited with any source. It is a small less notable mention. Meanwhile, in the proposed source article Pebet (bird), it is directly about the pebet topic. Haoreima (talk) 14:06, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This case is similar to one a couple of weeks ago. The disambiguation page was changed to a redirect by an editor who's now left, but based on an incorrect reading of WP:PRIMARYRED. Just because the other Bayne House doesn't yet have an article doesn't mean it's not considered as part of the primary topic assessment. From a brief look around the Web I don't think either is necessarily primary over the other, and it should be discussed. I've restored the dab page. — Amakuru (talk) 08:22, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this user Renamed user g5s6n3yi8z7g08cs cited them all (no NPA or HARASS intended, else self-blocked!). This reply is for both my requests. But I was expecting a thanks from you and their removals for bringing them here to your attention (if not the attention of page movers, reviewers and admins). Remember that this is a chain reaction stemming from my frequent glances at R'n'B's contributions page, where I see entries with this edit summary: Redirect bypass from (say Ballintemple (disambiguation) to Ballintemple), which you've dealt with already); which then sparks my curiosity to head to their page histories and see the first line of this text in the form of actions from the user citing PRIMARYRED after previous then-worthy DAB entries popped up and were then removed by other users. Yes, this is RMTR, but I listed them here, maybe could've pinged you on my talk page on these, so that the appropriate actions could be taken on them so as not to return to them again. And the frustrating bit is that, this repetition could go on and on since I've bookmarked R'n'B's contribs page for over 100 days now. It/They could be for discussion(s), unsure about that, but with other similarly-named but redlinked entries in their DAB pages, hmmm! Confusion, confusion confusion! Intrisit (talk) 10:37, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bayne House was a valid application of WP:PRIMARYRED except they should have followed up by performing the move requested here. The entry for Bayne-Morrison House fails both WP:DABRL and WP:DABMENTION. older ≠ wiser 11:02, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This case is similar to one a couple of weeks ago. The disambiguation page was changed to a redirect by an editor who's now left, but based on an incorrect reading of WP:PRIMARYRED. Just because the other Bay Point, Florida, doesn't yet have an article doesn't mean it's not considered as part of the primary topic assessment. From a brief look around the Web I don't think either is necessarily primary over the other, and it should be discussed. I've restored the dab page. — Amakuru (talk) 08:22, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This one may be slightly different from that of Bayne House above. The current red linked entry requires a blue link to an article with relevant content about the topic )WP:DABMENTION). There are a few candidates in what links here, although none are particularly good. And there might even be another place in Alabama. older ≠ wiser 11:10, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Draft:Atomo→Atomo (currently a redirect instead to Zacarías el Perico) (move·discuss) – I am the author of the draftspace page, which I believe to be ready for inclusion in the main article space. The destination page is a redirect to Zacarías el Perico, a Mexican wrestler who has used Atomo as a stage name in the past, but who is not primarily known by that name today. I can add a hatnote to the Draft page to redirect to the wrestler. White 720 (talk) 15:18, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Omoikane (Shinto)→Omoikane(move·discuss) – The only other entry at Omoikane is a redirect to an article about a 90s TV show whose article doesn't even mention that Omoikane, suggesting it isn't a very important aspect of that series. Egsan Bacon (talk) 16:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Battle of Wiłkomierz→Battle of Pabaiskas (currently a redirect back to Battle of Wiłkomierz) (move·discuss) – Harmonization with the article's text. The new name is also the most commonly used in academia, as Google Scholar gives 19 results for "Battle of Pabaiskas" [1] whereas only one for "Battle of Wiłkomierz" [2]. +JMJ+ (talk) 16:15, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Al-Bayat (tribe)→Al-Bayati (currently a redirect back to Al-Bayat (tribe)) (move·discuss) – Just like how Mteiritay is edit-warring on multiple articles, they have now started move-warring and failed to use the article's talkpage for a move request when it was contested. Aintabli (talk) 15:27, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Why is this move needed? While there is a convention to include the state in naming articles for US cities/towns -- this does not necessarily apply to the parenthetical disambiguator. Consider, for example, Category:Culture of Jersey City, New Jersey -- there are several others using only "(Jersey City)" and the same can be found for many other US cities/towns. older ≠ wiser 11:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. The disambiguator is only there to disambiguate, it doesn't need to fit in with other naming conventions necessarily. — Amakuru (talk) 11:06, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MrMkG I don't know too much about how Indian names/titles work, but only one of the sources in the article uses Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, while most just Jitendra Singh or Shri Jitendra Singh seem more common. --Ahecht (TALK PAGE) 14:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's like a first first name, if that makes sense. Some people have it. Shri is a honorific like Mister. Only two of the sources in the article are independent news sources and Bhanwar is used by one of them. News sources commonly use Bhanwar so that he doesn't get confused with another Jitendra Singh who is an active politician. Even if it were less used which it isn't, it would still be more accessible without the disambiguation (who knows birth years?). MrMkG (talk) 22:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
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.
To request a single page move, click on the "New section" (or "Add topic") tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|New name|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 New name 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 28 April 2024" 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:
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 with current1 set to Wikipedia and current2 set to Wiki. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article where the template is placed (Talk:Wikipedia). Do not sign the request with ~~~~, since the template does this automatically (so if you sign it yourself there will be two copies of your signature at the end of the request). Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of all pages that are included in your request except the one hosting the discussion, to call attention to the move discussion that is in progress and to suggest that all discussion for all of the pages included in the request should take place at that one hosting location.
For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is itself proposed to be moved, it is not necessary to include the |current1=Current title of page 1 for the page hosting the discussion, as its current title can be inferred automatically. Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace, in which case it is necessary to include |current1= to indicate the first article to be moved.
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)andCricket. 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:
Use when the proposed new title is given. Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst:. This tag should be placed at the beginning of the section containing the relevant discussion.
Use when the proposed new title is not known. Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst:. This tag should be placed at the beginning of the section containing the relevant discussion.
This template adds subsections for survey and discussion. Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst: Click the "New Section" tab on the talk page and leave the Subject/headline blank, as the template by default automatically creates the heading.
Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst: and place this tag at the beginning of the section containing the relevant discussion. Add additional related move requests in pairs (|current3= and |new3=, |current4= and |new4=, etc.).
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.
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.
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:RM relist}}, 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.
(Discuss) – National Civilian WW2 Memorial Trust → National Picture Theatre, Kingston upon Hull – The name of the building is more recognisable than the organisation behind it, it's a more natural search term. Most of coverage is about the building, not the charity. -- D'n'B-t -- 06:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Amagasaki derailment → JR Fukuchiyama Line Derailment accident – In the Japanese version, it is a JR福知山線脱線事故(English:JR Fukuchiyama Line derailment), and it is better to unify it. H.K.pauw (talk) 02:06, 28 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Mewing (orthotropics) → Mewing (orthodontics) – Judging by our redirect from orthotropics, it seems that the current qualifier is a sub-class of orthodontics associated with (and potentially coined/created by) John Mew. I'm therefore proposing to change the parenthetical disambiguation from orthotropics to orthodontics so as to use a more generic class of disambiguator (per point 3 under WP:NCDAB), a likely more commonly known term, and a potentially more neutral qualifier than one strongly associated with one of this technique's creators. All the best, —a smart kitten[meow] 10:57, 26 April 2024 (UTC) Note: I no longer support this page move and am now neutral; see my comments below. [verify] 13:26, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Doomsday Pt. 2 (Eminem song) → Doomsday Pt. 2 – Was previously redirect to the rapper's discography and now the current redirect. I don't think there is need for the parenthetical "Eminem song" since the song is one and is the primary topic. Thus Doomsday Pt. 2 (Eminem song) becomes a redirect or deleted. Any case works!

(Discuss) – Paul Douglas → Paul Douglas (Illinois politician) – The Illinois senator, who died nearly half a century ago, was indeed influential, but there are 11 men listed upon the Paul Douglas (disambiguation) page, with little indication that his renown has remained at such a high level that it dwarfs the combined notability of the remaining ten men, including character star Paul Douglas (actor). The standalone parenthetical qualifier "(politician)" would be incomplete since Paul L. Douglas was also a politician. — Roman Spinner(talk • contribs) 04:56, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Ontario minister's zoning orders controversy → Minister's Zoning Orders – The current title is unreasonably biased and specific.

(Discuss) – Palestinian National Authority → Palestinian Authority – 'Palestinian Authority' is obviously the common name of the entity. Media almost always refers to it as such, and when PNA is mentioned, it's always as a formal or alternative name to the PA. Britannica (1): "Palestinian Authority; Formally: Palestinian National Authority", Council for Foreign Relations (2) "The PA is headquartered in the West Bank ... Officially named the Palestinian National Authority", Aljazeera: (3) "The PLO then signed the Oslo Accords, which led to the creation of the Palestinian National Authority, or Palestinian Authority..." and more. It's clear what the common name is. Personisinsterest (talk) 00:38, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Global Mall at the Crossings → Hickory Hollow Mall – As the mall is defunct and the article takes a historical perspective, it should probably use the name that was used longer. Most sources concerning the mall's demolition refer to it as Hickory Hollow Mall, not Global Mall at the Crossings, such as this. Compare St. Louis Mills and Swifton Center, two other defunct malls where the article uses the most common name and not the last name.

(Discuss) – Amy Turner (footballer) → Amy James-Turner – She has that new married name on multiple current websites such as the current team's profile and recent BBC Sport reports covering the football team.[4][5][6] I can find one point of reference for Angharad James-Turner but I don't think that's enough to do a page move to the double barreled surname at this point until matches have been placed. Also, as there are other Amy Turners on Wikipedia, those page moves are definitely not affected. Iggy (Swan) (Contribs) 18:40, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Patricia Quinn → Patricia Quinn (disambiguation) – I suggest that the British actress is the primary topic. She does have a fairly lengthy career, including important parts in two very well-known productions, "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "I, Claudius". The other two are not quite on this scale. (This also avoids the problem of whether we should call her a British actress when she comes from Belfast.)

(Discuss) – The International (Dota 2) → The International (esports) – Per WP:NCDAB, we should avoid proper nouns in parenthetical disambiguation. Currently, esports competitions use either "(esports)" (e.g. League Championship Series (esports)) or "(tournament)" (e.g. The Big House (tournament)). Seeing as "(tournament)" is not acceptable here as seen in the past move discussion, "(esports)" seems like the most natural disambiguator. – Pbrks(t·c) 14:50, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Die Ärzte (album) → Die Ärzte (1986 album) – Repeating the RM of 2010: "There's more, e.g. Die Ärzte (2002 album), so necessary to be more precise here." After 11 years, someone boldly moved it back a few years ago (without even bothering to provide an edit summary). Die Ärzte (album) should either redirect to Die Ärzte or there should be a dab page created at Die Ärzte (disambiguation) as previously suggested. The pageview ratio is only about 3:1, plus there is Die Ärzte (EP). — BarrelProof (talk) 12:22, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Gajapati Empire → Gajapatis of Orissa – According to the Ngram, Gajapatis of Orissa is widely used than "Gajapati Empire" or "Gajapati Kingdom" [7]. Another thing to be noted is that not much WP:RS calls the kingdom by the name "Empire", but Gajapatis itself. Imperial[AFCND] 09:16, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Magnus III of Sweden → Magnus Ladulås – Move per WP:COMMONNAME. I have studied some sources above (see #Regnal number 2), and most of them call him Magnus Ladulås. Some use the name Magnus Birgersson, and none use Magnus III without putting the number in parentheses. Magnus III is neither a common name, nor an official one.

(Discuss) – Feda (disambiguation) → ? – Yet another dab without a primary topic. The topic we currently cover at the title Feda (a small village in Norway) is marginally notable at best. Based on pageview data, it seems that the primary topic might actually be Iron-deficiency anemia (a redirect), which outranks second place (Transport in Ireland) by an astounding factor of ten. However, googling "feda" reveals a mix of things, so maybe dabbing is better. Duckmather (talk) 01:30, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Cumnock (original) railway station → Old Cumnock railway station – I've been tidying up disambiguation for former railway stations in Scotland per WP:UKSTATIONDAB and I'm not 100% sure what the best solution is for these two stations. The first was a Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway station opened as Old Cumnock in 1850, renamed to Cumnock in 1955 and closed in 1965. The second was a Glasgow and South Western Railway station that was only ever known as Cumnock, opened in 1872 and closed in 1951. I feel the natural disambiguation (using Old Cumnock and Cumnock) works best as there was only a brief period where the first station was known as Cumnock and they had different names when they were both in operation. The other options for disambiguation don't really work either as they are both in the same town and they were both run by the same company as the Glasgow, Paisley, Kilmarnock and Ayr Railway became the Glasgow and South Western Railway shortly after the first station opened. The current naming pattern doesn't work with the policy so they will have to move, I don't know what the disambiguation for the second station should be though as their is also a Cumnock railway station in Australia and Cumnock railway station needs to be a dab page.

(Discuss) – London Country South East → Kentish Bus – This is the common name used by the operator since 1987.[1] Considering the operator was founded in 1986 - the article lead references that, too - I don't think it makes a lot of sense to use an anachronistic name used for only one year as the page title.

(Discuss) – Chueca → Chueca, Madrid – No WP:PRIMARYTOPIC with several possible candidates, but none standing out. The area of Madrid is very small, not even an administrative ward never mind district. The area is named after a square that is named after Federico Chueca, so we can't make the argument that places are intrinsically more long-lasting than people in notability. A Google Books review for lasting references throws up a three-way tie on books about travel and LGBT (the page titled Chueca), theatre and opera (Federico Chueca) and architecture (Fernando Chueca Goitia [es]). I've never seen a first page of Google Books be so varied and this suggests there is no lasting WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Unknown Temptation (talk) 18:29, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Space habitat → Orbital space habitat – As discussed above - this article is currently wholly based on the assumption that space habitats are in a micro-g scenario, which does not fit the more widely accepted definition, which is more general. For example, the IAF's Space Habitat's Committee's definition includes both "settlements on celestial bodies and orbital infrastructures". Renaming this article to "Orbital space habitat" would reduce ambiguity of the purpose of the article. Bugghost (talk) 16:26, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Also requesting WP:BOLD move as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the wife of a head of government of 50 million people has more lasting influence than a participant in a minor sport. Even searching for news of "begona gomez judo" throws up results like this where a judo competition is the main story but the "Begona Gomez" is the prime minister's wife, linked in most read.

(Discuss) – Mastodon → Mammut – The informal name "Mastodon" can refer to a lot of proboscidean genera because of the historic usage of the junior synonym as a wastebasket taxon, but it is most often used for M. americanum and not commonly other mammutids of the same genus. Therefore, the genus Mammut would be more appropriate for this article, and it already pulls up nearly 20,000 results on Google Scholar. PrimalMustelid (talk) 11:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Union Theological Seminary → Union Theological Seminary (disambiguation) – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Of the five other articles listed on the disambiguation page, I cannot find any reference to any of the three Chinese/Japanese schools – whose names are prefixed by a city – as simply "Union Theological Seminary". (As partial title matches, they're probably borderline cases as to whether they should even be listed in the body of the disambiguation page rather than the see also section.) Union Presbyterian Seminary was known as Union Theological Seminary until 1997, when it became Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education. It adopted its current name in 2009, which I believe was done in part to distinguish it from the much better known seminary in New York. (It's not often that organizations do the work of disambiguation for us!) Since then, there has been no conflict between its current name and the proposed title. I wasn't able to find that much on the Philippine seminary, despite it appearing to be an English-language institution. IACOBVS has suggested that it may have even been named after the seminary in New York. By contrast, the New York seminary is recognized internationally as a major intellectual centre of mainline Protestantism and liberal theology, serving as the home of Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich, James Cone, Dorothee Sölle, Delores S. Williams, and Harry F. Ward (WP:PT2). And we can see that, especially relative to the alternatives, it's no less significant to our readers, who view the article about 10 times more often than Union Presbyterian Seminary and 26 times more often than the Philippine seminary (WP:PT1).

I clicked onto a wikilink directing me to an article on abductions in the Russian invasion, but found myself here and thought the link was incorrect. I also considered suggesting the title "Child abductions by Russia in Ukraine," as it's briefer, but it's also broader, and perhaps that isn't ideal for this article. – Primium (talk) 17:54, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – State (Bell/Springvale) Highway → Bell Street – This is not the WP:COMMON NAME, is unknown to drivers and is not on any signs, and is not a nickname or anything of the sort. Bell Street and Springvale Road, separately, are notable, but the route as a whole isn't. I have created two new articles with appropriate citations, Draft:Bell Street and Draft:Springvale Road. These drafts also have a lot less WP:EXCESSDETAIL. I am proposing firstly a WP:SPLIT to create the Springvale Road article, noting the diff it was split from on this article in the split talk template, then move this article to Bell Street and change the content. It is better to do this instead of deleting this article and creating two new ones to preserve the history for attribution. After that, I propose to create a new disambiguation article at State (Bell/Springvale) Highway. Then I would fix the incoming links to it to point to either Bell Street or Springvale Road directly. Listing under an RM instead of requested split because it is not a traditional split (keep original article at same title and put existing section to new article) and RM is necessary to move the article, and I'm not going to make these drastic changes without listing it for discussion MarkiPoli (talk) 07:00, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – I Am... (Beyoncé tour) → I Am... World Tour – This request is to restore the former name of the page. The previous move was closed under a quintaessential example of why supervoting is inappropriate and why Wikipedia is built upon consensus and not a polling democracy. The argument provided by the closer, @BilledMammal:, reads as follows: Consensus to move per WP:PRECISION; the current title is ambiguous. Ambiguity was never a reason provided for the move by itself; the argument was "There are multiple albums by multiple artists called I Am which could be easily confused as being the subject of this tour", which is not a valid argument to move a page. The tour is not a subsection of an album to argue such thing. Furthermore, being ambiguous is not a reason to move pages mainly because the titling criteria is not a set of imposed rules. The closing didn't address the arguments provided by either side and it never explained where the consensus arised. Additionally, it was never demonstrated that the official name is the WP:COMMONAME, why we should follow an WP:OFFICIALNAME, why WP:SMALLDETAILS is not applicable, why WP:NATURAL is not applicable, and since the page was moved and the redirects corrected, exactly where is the ambiguity in the title, since the Lewis tour has not improved its views caused by the alleged ambiguity.

(Discuss) – Gaza Strip famine → Food insecurity in Gaza during the Israel-Hamas war – As per talk page discussion and sources provided in the article, while numerous warnings have been issued as to possible impending or "looming" famine, no formal declaration of famine has been made (either in North Gaza or elsewhere), let alone a WP:COMMONNAME achieved of "The Gaza Strip famine" as this article incorrectly and prematurely has attempted to declare. This is clear breach of WP:FUTURE and WP:NCEVENTS. Taking the lead from the Center for Strategic and International Studies' most recent report, which believes there is Famine in North Gaza but otherwise affirms that there has yet to be "a formal declaration of famine in Gaza", the most neutral, general, categorical WP:DESCRIPTOR in use by CSIS and other expert bodies in such matters (that covers the full range of items discussed currently in the article) is "food insecurity". This terminology covers related matters from famine all the way down the IPC scale, and given that the majority of the current article either covers food and nutrition matters all the way up to the standard threshold of famine, or speculates at the presence of famine prior to an official declaration, this article title should suffice until there is a change in official status. I understand this is a sensitive topic, but our job here is to ensure neutral coverage of current events per WP:WACE. The most authoritative body that has chimed in thus far on the status of famine is the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, whose most recent report declared famine "imminent", with a likely future projected range of occurrence dates, but that's as far as its gotten. We obviously can revisit this if there is an official declaration (and let us hope there isn't)...but there hasn't been, and this clear WP:NCEVENTS and WP:FUTURE breach must be remedied immediately. - Alternate option: Gaza food crisis - per comments made below, this title is the most widely searched (6x higher) in relation to the food and nutrition situation in Gaza during the conflict and may more aptly convey the severity of the current situation.

(Discuss) – Tbilisi Spiritual Seminary → Tbilisi Theological Seminary – The institution's own website uses uses Tbilisi Theological Academy and Seminary. Most sources seem to use "Theological" (see Google books for "Tiflis Theological Seminary", or high-quality sources like Brill's Encyclopedia of Islam (which inexplicably talks about Christian seminaries in Tiflis in some detail! Available on the Wikipedia library if you want to check.). More generally, "Spiritual" is an awkward, literal translation that isn't that accurate to idiomatic English usage. It's a seminary for learning theology, not a monastery. There are a few sources that use "Spiritual" in GBooks ([15]), but they drop off the front page quickly from ~5 or so hits, and many are books written in the past decade when the Wikipedia article was at "spiritual" and may have simply trusted the Wikipedia usage. One complication is that the institution is most notable when the city was known as "Tiflis" in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and the article was originally created under the "Tiflis" name in 2013. Given that there is a successor institution, it seems reasonable to use the modern name of the successor institution, though, even if there's fewer sources on the contemporary era. But I wouldn't be totally opposed to "Tiflis Theological Seminary" as a backup option. SnowFire (talk) 17:12, 15 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 21:20, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

However, shortly thereafter, the Poles also rose up against the Ukrainians, which could also be described as an uprising. Rather then the article being named "November Uprising (Lviv,1918)" the name should get redirected to Battle of Lemberg (1918) .

(Discuss) – Carolina–Duke rivalry → Duke–North Carolina rivalry – The reasoning to keep the page at "Carolina-Duke" over 11 years ago was very flawed. By that logic, the Texas A&M–Texas Tech rivalry article for example, should be moved to "A&M–Tech rivalry" since those two schools are referred to that by people in their respective state. I guess we can also use the shortended "Carolina" for all of UNC's rivalry articles too or even the Palmetto State rivalry between Carolina–Clemson. I would go as far to say that "UNC" is a more commonly-used nickname than just "Carolina" (see Google Trends comparison). Wikipedia article titles are meant to be formal and informative, not just for pageviews. It is the University of NORTH Carolina, not the University of Carolina. It would not only be consistent with other college rivalry articles, but also with the standalone articles about the non-basketball rivalries between Duke and North Carolina per WP:TITLECON.

(Discuss) – Apple → Apple (fruit) – Heya, I have serval reasons arguing that there is no primary topic, let’s get into it. We’re gonna abide by WP:PTOPIC, which reads as follows: 1. A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. As evident by page view statistics, strong popularity and usage of iPhone services and products, the trillion-dollar company is the most likely topic that Wikipedia readers will look for. But wait, there also exists the second point: 2. A topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term.Apples have huge symbolism in historical mythology, human consumption, and cultural influence. In contemporary times, both the corporation and the fruit are widely recognized and significant. I say neither of these topics deserves merit as a primary one, who's with me?

(Discuss) – Prince Ernst August of Hanover (born 1983) → Ernst August von Hannover (born 1983) – In Germany titles of royals and nobles were abolished in 1919 and are not recognised today by Germany which is a republic. The convention in WP:NCROY states: "Do not use hypothetical, dissolved or defunct titles, including pretenders (real or hypothetical), unless this is what the majority of reliable sources use." Therefore I do not believe Prince should be used in the title Regarding the surname - "of Hanover" is a translation of his surname "von Hannover". Names and surnames should not be translated. We don't do it for other German surnames and I don't see why we should do it here. D1551D3N7 (talk) 17:08, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – 2024 Israeli strikes on Iran → 2024 Israeli strikes in Isfahan – This is a retaliation to a retaliation, but that article was not named as a retaliation.

It would be weird to call such article a retaliation to a retaliation to a retaliation, this hasn't been done before. Bigfatman8766 (talk) 05:14, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Shake Your Moneymaker → Shake Your Money Maker – Although the song is sometimes spelled with a spaced "Money Maker", mostly in covers, all instances of "Shake Your Moneymaker", unspaced, refer to the song, as that was the spelling used on the original Elmore James version. So, per WP:SMALLDIFFS and WP:CONCISE, this title should be that of the song article, and the dab title should have a space. Mach61 23:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Ecclesiastical polity → Church polity – Concision and recognizability. "Church" and "ecclesiastical" are exactly equivalent, but "church" is a more common term to the average user.

(Discuss) – Nicaragua Canal → ? – As the opening sentence of this article puts it, "there is a long history of attempts to build a canal across Nicaragua to connect the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean", from as early as the 1500s to the most recent and hence most notable one in the 2010s. Currently, the general article is at "History of" and the specific one about the 2010s project at "Nicaragua Canal". Each has a section summarizing the other, Nicaragua Canal § History and History of the Nicaragua Canal § HKND project (2010–present), with {{main}} hatnote crosslinks. This likely made sense when said project was active and there was reason to expect it to result in an actual canal, which would obviously have been vastly more notable than any mere plan to build one. But by the end of that decade, the project had been essentially abandoned, and I don't think it makes sense any longer. "Nicaragua Canal" has about 200 incoming article links ([29]), of which I surveyed the first 20. The result is pretty much an even split between links that should indeed go to the 2010s project, and links that should go to the general page, or in some cases ideally one of its sections about earlier specific projects. But it's more confusing to follow a link to an article that's about the wrong specific thing than to an article that's too general, especially when that specific article has an unspecific title. So a switch would clarify the situation, IMO. The most obvious choice for a new title for the specific article is "Nicaraguan Canal and Development Project", per its opening sentence - though something that includes a date, as the "HKND project (2010–present)" section title does, might be more informative, so I left that open. - 2A02:560:58C3:0:B0B9:6993:EC37:F849 (talk) 15:34, 10 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.Natg 19 (talk) 23:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase → AKR1C4 – This article covers the type 1 isoform of the enzyme, which is encoded by the gene AKR1C4. The current title is ambiguous with the other isoforms of this enzyme, which each have an article under the name of the gene which encode them (AKR1C2, AKR1C3). This title could be made more precise by lengthening it to 3α-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1. However, to make it more concise and consistent as well, I propose moving the page to AKR1C4 (which was the title until 2012).

(Discuss) – If a tree falls in a forest → If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? – or If a tree falls ...? It is not clear why the question that is the subject of this article is truncated after the first seven words, leaving the rest unstated and the question mark absent. No ellipsis is provided to show that something is missing. The topic is a question, and that can be seen from the opening sentence, but the article title doesn't show that. The Bruce Cockburn song title truncates it after only four words. If we think the question is just too long, let's stop at four like he did, but add the ellipsis and the question mark. — BarrelProof (talk) 02:56, 7 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.Natg 19 (talk) 23:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – The Lion's Share → The lion's share – Since this disambiguation page's first entry — Lion's share — uses the lowercase form, the main title header could be also in lowercase, thus enabling the move of The Lion's Share (1971 film) → The Lion's Share. This film's title represents English Wikipedia's sole header bearing this exact form, thus obviating need for the parenthetical qualifier "(1971 film)". Likewise, Lion's Share (band) is the sole such header — no need for the qualifier "(band)".

(Discuss) – Woo Bum-kon → Woo Bum-kon incident – Per WP:BIO1E. Woo is notable for murdering a lot of people in one event, and not much else. Someone had previously tried to change this article to Uiryeong massacre, however this title is original research: all of the later Korean sources call it some variation of "Woo Bom-kon incident", "Woo Bom-kon shooting incident", etc, see (우범곤 사건, lit Woo Bum-kon incident). It is the clear common name, and we can't just make up our own titles. I believe this means it will be delisted as a vital article though, since it no longer fits the category it is listed in. Also, this article still has the problem of being overwhelmingly tilted towards 80s English news coverage instead of the boatload of later, more accurate, Korean language sourcing, but as I do not speak Korean this is a difficult issue to fix. Hopefully someone will, someday. PARAKANYAA (talk) 20:56, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Maratha Empire → Maratha Confederacy – The Maratha state had been a confederation of some sort for much of its existence from at least 1721 when the Baroda State was founded and 1732 when Indore and Gwalior States were founded till 1818. The Maratha state during the Deccan wars under Shivaji and his descendents was not in the slightest an "empire", rather a quasi-state or rebel kingdom from 1674 till 1707. Besides in most scholarly sources the Maratha realm has been referred to as the "Maratha Confederacy" or "Maratha States". (Look at the infobox map itself. It says "Maratha States".)

(Discuss) – Karma (2024 song) → Karma's a Bitch – This page keeps getting moved. The previous rationale was "The song was originally called that in the Miley Cyrus demo, and the Brit Smith demo. It also takes away the disambiguating, so it more succinct." I’m unsure, however. The article is about the song as an entity, but that 'entity' hasn’t got a name, but it’s clear that there are two versions of the same song, and that they are not covers of each other. I don’t think this has ever happened before. Plus the proposed title is already a redirect to the page, so seems like the most logical title. This is a case of 'what came first, the chicken or the egg?' Another suggestion is Karma and Karma's a Bitch. 109.235.247.80 (talk) 01:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without any context, "Battle of Jackson" refers to the Mississippi battle, it is the Tennessee battle alone that should require disambiguation. The Mississippi article is getting ~5x the page views.

(Discuss) – Orlando (disambiguation) → Orlando – I realise that this was discussed before in 2016, but consensus may have changed. A recent discussion at Talk:Orlando, Florida showed no consensus that this is the primary topic. I would put forward two reasons. Firstly, the sheer number of entries on this page means that we should be cautious about deciding that there is a primary topic. Secondly, some people argued that the Florida city is widely known outside the USA because it attracts a large number of tourists as the location of Disney World. However, speaking as a European who has never visited the USA, the extent to which US cities are widely known elsewhere is not necessarily a function of the number of tourists, it's not like e.g. Chicago or Los Angeles.

(Discuss) – 2024 Iranian strikes in Israel → ? – The previous discussion was on moving 'Strikes' to 'strike' version, and it was speedy closed by me as there is a speedy consensus on that matter. However, what had been raised in that discussion is which proposition to be used in the article title. : The previous discussion was moving "Strikes" to "strikes", rather than to "strike", I believe? I mention this because there may be further strikes by Iran on Israel later in the year, and it's not clear whether this article would include those, or if they would get their own articles. I think clearest would be to include the full date, so this article is specifically about the missile and drone attack on the one day, which I think would be 14 April 2024 (starting in the early morning hours local time).

However, there are no references to establish "also known as X" part and the current article names. The official Finnish name of each village is either X:n kirkonkylä or an ambiguous Kirkonkylä (which makes total sense locally). I also did not find an established translation for kirkonkylä (the literal 'church village' is not found in many sources), which is why I am suggesting to use the Finnish name for each village.

(Discuss) – Polish–Muscovite Wars (1605–1618) → Polish–Russian War (1605–1618) – The term "Muscovy" is not quite correct in the context of historical events. After the establishment of a unified centralized authority, the country called itself the Tsardom of Russia, not Muscovy. Such a name was relevant only during the times when Moscow existed independently, but the formation of the Tsardom of Russia happened long before the war. This can also confuse the reader since the article refers to Tsardom of Russia, which uses a different designation. Additionally, it should be clarified that this term was often used by the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the conflict between it and the Tsardom of Russia for propaganda purposes, as the term clearly implies feudal fragmentation of the state. Nowadays, the term is also used as a derogatory term towards Russia - https://www.svoboda.org/a/ukraina-moskoviya-i-drugie-yaroslav-shimov-o-borjbe-za-vostok-evropy/32330846.html, https://www.pravda.com.ua/rus/news/2022/11/29/7378557/.

(Discuss) – Francis, Duke of Guise → François, Duke of Guise – Requesting move of these articles per WP:COMMONNAME. I will begin my argument with ngrams, even though I find them largely overcrowded by noise. Please see [40][41][42][43] Moving beyond ngrams, my argument revolves around the English literature that focuses on the family, the era of the Italian Wars, and the era French Wars of Religion, both areas of which they played a central role in and are therefore not an incidental mention in. Stuart Carroll (2011) Martyr's and Murderers: The Guise Family and the Making of Europe, is the most recent English language biography of the family - it refers to the second duke of Guise as François, his son the third duke as Henri and the fifth duke of Guise as Henri II (also the seventh duke of Guise as François-Joseph though that Wikipedia article is already at François-Joseph, so does not require changing.) The other recent English book which discusses them in the title is Mark Konnert's (2006) Local Politics in the French Wars of Religion: The Towns of Champagne, the duc de Guise and the Catholic League (1560-1595) - it refers to François, and Henri. I will now briefly survey English academics who have written on this area in the last couple of decades, and their various positions on the names. Gould (2006) = François; Roelker (1968) = François, Henri; Knecht (2014) = François, Henri; Diefendorf (1991) = François, Henri; Roberts (2013) = François, Henri; Sutherland (1962) = François, Henri; Tullchin (2012) = François, Henri; Roelker (1996) = François, Henri; Baumgartner (1986) = Henri; Harding (1978) = François, Henri; Heller (2003) = Henri; Potter (1997) = François, Henri; Carroll (2005) = François, Henri; Bernstein (2004) = Henri; Konnert (1997) = François, Henri; Benedict (2003) = François, Henri; Salmon (1979) = François, Henri; Shaw (2019) [only English language survey of the Italian Wars] = François; Pitts (2012) = François, Henri; Neuschel (1989) = François; Kingdon (1967) = François, Henri; Greengrass (1988) = François; Conner (2000) = François, Spangler (2016) = Henri Tingle (2006) is a little unusual, refers to François, and Henry; likewise Shimizu (1970) refers to Francis, and Henri Holt (2002) = Francis, Henry, he is the only French Wars of Religion era academic I am aware of who throughout all his works consistently calls them this way. Wood (2002) never refers to either duke by their first name. sovietblobfish (talk) 11:21, 13 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.Robertus Pius (Talk • Contribs) 19:24, 20 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.asilvering (talk) 00:28, 30 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

(Discuss) – Lady L → Lady L (film) – For disambiguation. The film gets more pageviews but it was based on the novel so it's best to say no primary topic.

(Discuss) – Joint Light Tactical Vehicle → Joint Light Tactical Vehicle competition – There are basically two extremely similar articles about the JLTV. Actually three. Joint Light Tactical Vehicle resembles an article about the development program, while Oshkosh L-ATV is about the JLTV selected for production. There is enough content for two articles, but I would guess that most people searching for "JLTV" would expect to find an article about the production vehicle than the competition that produced it. Background: "L-ATV" was the marketing name for the truck originally designed by Oshkosh for the JLTV program, which Oshkosh won in 2015. Presumably Oshkosh did not wish to tie the vehicle's success to the JLTV program, and so branded it as Each branch of the U.S. military calls it the "JLTV". Oshkosh usually refers to the L-ATV as the JLTV, although very occasionally Oshkosh will market a variant of the JLTV as an L-ATV on their own initiative. Here is a press release where Oshkosh announces the sale of "JLTVs", not "L-ATVs", to European countries. AM General will take over production of the JLTV from Oshkosh at the end of the year. They will be calling their version the JLTV A2. If this move is carried out there should be a section about the competition with a pointer to Joint Light Tactical Vehicle competition.

(Discuss) – Polish–Ukrainian ethnic conflict → Polish–Ukrainian relations (1939–1947) – The article's author was unable to demonstrate the source basis for the existence of a Polish-Ukrainian ethnic conflict in 1942-47; the very fact that he places the Polish anti-communist and pro-independence Freedom and Independence Association on the Ukrainian side demonstrates his poor grasp of the subject, but also, and above all, the inability to narrate the entire history solely through the optics of "ethnic conflict." For indeed, this is a misleading take. First, because it is difficult to define the actors. The Polish side is not homogeneous: there are many organizations, and the three main currents (the Home Army, the Nationalists and the Communists) had different attitudes toward the Ukrainian cause and did not pursue a uniform policy. Likewise, on the Ukrainian side, there is the OUN-M, OUN-B (and UPA), UCK collaborators, Bulbovets, Ukrainian Soviet partisans, Ukrainian SSR authorities, etc. Second, despite generally hostile relations, there were also periods of peace, attempts at agreement, and actual alliances. There is an entire book by Grzegorz Motyka and Rafał Wnuk on this subject: "Pany and rezuny. Cooperation of the AK-WiN and the UPA 1945-1947". Many Ukrainians served in the Polish army in 1939 and in the Polish armed forces in the west. Pavlo Shandruk cooperated with the Polish government in exile etc. These are things largely not currently described on Wikipedia. In the current situation, I see two choices: # due to the fact that the article is a translation from the Polish Wiki of the article under the title " Polish-Ukrainian partisan fighting", we can move it under this title and change the scope to describe the skirmishes between the two partisan movement. # or, as I suggest, move it under the title I proposed and describe the whole of Polish-Ukrainian relations during the war. I believe that such an article would be valuable and would be a " container" tying together all the topics currently described in isolation (the massacres of Poles in Volhynia, the Hrubieszów revolution, the WiN-UPA alliance, etc.).

(Discuss) – Anarchist St. Imier International → Anti-Authoritarian International – In my experience, the term "Anti-Authoritarian International" appears to be the common name for this organisation in historical sources.[44] I rarely see it referred to as the "Anarchist International", as the term "anarchist" wasn't even formally adopted by members of the organisation until after it had already collapsed (see Graham 2019, p. 339). But we do know that they referred to themselves as "anti-authoritarians", in order to distance themselves from the Marxist International.

(Discuss) – Genital modification and mutilation → Genital modification – Fails WP: CRITERIA. 1.) It lacks precision, as it encompasses related but dissimilar topics, often being misinterpreted by users to mean that all genital modifications listed on the page are mutilations. 2.) It fails the criteria of concision. As all genital mutilations are forms of genital modifications, genital modification would suffice. (e.g. It is like if a page was termed "List of dogs and bulldogs" instead of "List of dogs") 3.) It fails the criteria of neutrality, as it implies to readers (problematically) that gender-affirming surgery, labiaplasty, circumcision, and pearling are mutilation. It also associates "modification" with exclusively negative changes. To make it meet WP: NPOV, you'd have to add "enhancement" or another positive term, a proposal that would further fail the criteria of concision. 4.) The title goes against article precedents surrounding body modification articles. All of which leave out titles that give positive or negative personal judgements.

(Discuss) – Self-Defence in Lithuania and Belarus (1918) → Self-Defence of Lithuania and Belarus – The article has been moved several times without any discussion. I think of is more grammatically correct than in; and there is no need to add data range, not until another article exists necessiating a disambig (there is no such article on Polish Wiki AFAIK. As for WP:COMMONNAME, GS returns 2 hits for 'of' variant, and 0 for 'in'. I can't get much useful stuff from GBooks (one book uses the term Lithuanian & Belarusian Self - Defence Force which probably doesn't even merit a redirect. Note also that the Polish article is currently at "samoobrony kresowe", Kresy Self-Defence but that term does not seem to be used in English; one book uses the term "self-defense in the Kresy" which does not sound correct ("the Kresy"??).

Do not use hypothetical, dissolved or defunct titles, including pretenders (real or hypothetical), unless this is what the majority of reliable sources use.
German monarchy was abolished in 1919. The "zu" is in the name instead of "of" as names should not be translated. Move request on similar pages for reference. D1551D3N7 (talk) 11:57, 10 March 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.BD2412T 17:33, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
(Discuss) – Sarukhan, Bey of Magnesia → Saruhan – Already redirects here. Else, it can be Saruhan Bey or something similar, because this is the only person with the name on Wikipedia if I'm not mistaken. Magnesia is only a settlement, and he and his descendants ruled a region, more than just one town. So, "Magnesia" should definitely be removed in some way.

(Discuss) – Frederik IX of Denmark → Frederik IX – He's the only monarch with this exact name, so we should move per WP:PRECISE, and the move will make the article title consistent with his daughter and now his grandson, whose name is spelled without the C.
