Wikipedia:Requested moves
This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice will be automatically removed by RMCD bot (talk) when the backlog is cleared. |
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; 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.
- 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 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.
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.
- Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, 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 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 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.
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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- KTTU (TV) → KTTU-TV (currently a redirect back to KTTU (TV)) (move · discuss) – Suffix added to callsign effective 5/16/2024 Mvcg66b3r (talk) 07:50, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- If it's not due to change until the 16th,then at least it should wait until then. Would also need evidence of source usage per WP:NAMECHANGES. I couldn't see anything about this myself. — Amakuru (talk) 07:13, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- James Marriott (musician) → James Marriott (move · discuss) – seems to be the most viewed page by far, the current James Marriott page can be made into James Marriott (disambiguation) George (talk) 23:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- James Marriott → James Marriott (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to James Marriott) (move · discuss) – see above ^ George (talk) 23:48, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- Mesopotamian myths → Mesopotamian mythology (currently a redirect back to Mesopotamian myths) (move · discuss) – According to Template:Ancient Near East topics, all comparable pages are "X mythology", not "X myths", like Egyptian mythology, Armenian mythology, Hittite mythology and religion, Persian mythology, and Ossetian mythology. Many more examples can also be found in Template:Mythology. The name should therefore be changed for consistency. The lead of the page already begins with ***Mesopotamian mythology*** and not ***Mesopotamian myths***. Generally "Mesopotamian mythology" is also the more common web search https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=Mesopotamian+mythology%2CMesopotamian+myths&year_start=1800&year_end=2019&corpus=en-2019&smoothing=3.

- Namboothiri (disambiguation) → Namboothiri (currently a redirect instead to Nambudiri) (move · discuss) – WP:NOPT Jax 0677 (talk) 00:26, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- This is likely correct now as a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT as a spelling variant of the caste (Nambudiri), which is a broad article that itself serves a disambiguating purpose by including links to notable people therein. And examples of people with the surname may be partial title matches except to the extent they are known mononymously (which does appear to be the case with Namboothiri (artist)). SilverLocust 💬 03:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Jax 0677: This request is contested. The rest of your requests were moved. Open an RM if you'd like. SilverLocust 💬 07:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

- Israel in the Iran–Iraq War → Israeli support for Iran during the Iran–Iraq war (currently a redirect back to Israel in the Iran–Iraq War) (move · discuss) – moving the article to its original title that is now a redirect. Damian Lew (talk) 19:44, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- @Damian Lew: The last stable title was "Israel's role in the Iran–Iraq [W/w]ar" for about 7-8 years. The title you're requesting hasn't been in place since 2015, and proved to be controversial. I would be fine with reverting the move from 8 month ago by a WP:BLOCKEVADING user, but for the original title you'll need to open a requested move with a substantive reason to prefer that title. SilverLocust 💬 20:41, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- The article's title was unilaterally changed about 7-8 years ago without a substantial reason provided nor a request made. I've just now contested the move in the talk page of the article in question, citing that the previous title gave a more apt description of the article's content (as can be observed from the first sentence of the article) and it is more in line with other article titles from the same conflict, thus the move made years ago was wholly arbitrary.

- Special Ops: Lioness → Lioness (American TV series) (currently a redirect back to Special Ops: Lioness) (move · discuss) – old name has been reinstated[1][2] but old article has 2 edits (which is more than 1) CapnZapp (talk) 14:07, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- The current title is WP:NATURAL disambiguation. SilverLocust 💬 23:01, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
- No, the current title was changed from the previous one, and now the network has decided to change it back. The title should once more be Lioness --> Lioness (TV series) --> Lioness (American TV series). We do not prefer to use the wrong title just because it makes titling Wikipedia articles very slightly more convenient. If you actually oppose this technical move, and didn't simply want to give your personal explanation of the current title that is feasible but unlikely, please move it to Contested technical requests. Cheers CapnZapp (talk) 09:15, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- I agree with SilverLocust. Best to retain the present title as natural disambiguation. It isn't "wrong", as that was the title of the first and only series so far and still retained on Paramount's website. If the common name in future drops the "Special Ops" to the point that it would be unusual and confusing to include it, we could think again, but for now I think it best to retain it. — Amakuru (talk) 14:39, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

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" (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 13 May 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 request that this page title be changed is under discussion. Please do not move this page until the discussion is closed. |
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)}}
The |1=
unnamed parameter is not used. 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
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.
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.
- Cricket → ?
If a disambiguation page is in the way of a move, the request may be completed as proposing to add (disambiguation).

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: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.
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 appears on the list on this page.
- ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page. |
This list is also available in a page-link-first format and in table format. 71 discussions have been relisted.

- (Discuss) – Suit of goblets → Suit of cups – I can't find any strong sources for this article name. There are many, many references to it as the suit of cups, but "goblets" does not seem to register on the internet much. We don't call the suit of wands "batons" in the article title, regardless of who called it that in the 1500s. We should go with the name people know this by. Mike Selinker (talk) 07:58, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
- Suit of cups → Suit of cups (disambiguation) over redirect without leaving a redirect (implied), then WP:G14 delete if unnecessary
- (Discuss) – Negrophobia → Anti-Black sentiment – The term Negrophobia implies an apologetic stance towards racism, the reflexive reaction in Negrophobia can be talked about in a section in the article. Anti-Black sentiment works best imo as this is about the black phenotype and covers sentiment as well as racist or discriminatory acts. This move would be inline with:
Anti-black sentiment in the United States
Anti-Korean sentiment
Anti-German sentiment
Anti-Mexican sentiment
Anti-Brazilian sentiment
Anti-British sentiment
Anti-Asian sentiment
Anti-Christian sentiment

- (Discuss) – Afrophobia → Anti-African sentiment – I believe this article to be about negative sentiment towards African peoples and societies, including those of the African diaspora, and this move would be in line with anti-European sentiment and anti-Asian sentiment. To be clear, this article is not about the colour of anyone's skin nor the individual, and racism towards Boers would be relevant here. Alexanderkowal (talk) 07:46, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 2024 raid on the Mexican embassy in Ecuador → Ecuadorian raid on the Mexican embassy in Quito – According to the consensus in the RM discussion for Israeli bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus which itself follows a precedent set by the title of United States bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade, articles covering attacks on embassies perpetrated by sovereign states are to be titled thus "(Adjectival form of perpetrating state) (nature of attack) on the (adjectival form of victim state) in (host city)". ―Howard • 🌽33 14:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians → ECO (denomination) – The page was moved to ECO (denomination) following a move request in 2013 (see discussion above). The page was then moved back to ECO: A Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians in 2017 by User:Kintetsubuffalo without discussion, with the comment "WPMOS on acronyms." As previous discussions have pointed out, the denomination claims that ECO is not an acronym.

- (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) – 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) – Parachromis managuensis → Jaguar cichlid – So, the last time a name change for this article has been discussed was back in 2007 (see "article title" up above). This article used to be named "Managuense cichlid," but was later changed to the Latin name and current title, Parachromis managuensis, on the basis that it was the least ambiguous epithet for the species. Which is true. Latin names are almost always less ambiguous than vernacular names, but they're almost never as concise or recognizable - for the same reason we have articles named Great white shark and Largemouth bass rather than Carcharodon carcharias and Micropterus salmoides, I'm going to propose that this article be renamed to Jaguar cichlid. For the WP:CRITERIA of recognizability and naturalness, I present the Google Search results for the names listed in the article's lede (in order from most hits to least): * "jaguar cichlid": ~93,700 results * "parachromis managuensis": ~40,900 results * "jaguar guapote": ~9,680 results * "managuense cichlid": ~8,720 results * "guapote tigre": ~8,640 results * "aztec cichlid": ~4,090 results * "managua cichlid": ~1,470 results * "spotted guapote": ~812 results "Jaguar cichlid" is more than twice as prevalent on the web as the Latin name. It's nearly a full order of magnitude more prevalent than the next most popular vernacular name, "jaguar guapote" - and if that's where we draw the line, then names like "managuense cichlid" and "guapote tigre" aren't even in the running. This is supported by Google Trends, which shows that on average, "jaguar cichlid" is searched for 47 times more than "parachromis managuensis" and "managuense cichlid" worldwide. We should name the article accordingly. Simple as. Kodiak Blackjack (talk) • (contribs) 00:06, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Motor Launch → Motor launch (naval) – This title is miscapitalized and is ambiguous with Motor launch; both capitalizations should redirect to Launch (boat). Since this article is specifically about the naval use, the parenthetical disambiguator seems like a good way to distinguish (and it's not just the Royal Navy, as the article shows). Previous claims that this term is a proper name to the Royal Navy are not born out by evidence from sources (to be provided and discussed at length). Dicklyon (talk) 22:35, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Bracken on the Wolds → Bracken, East Riding of Yorkshire – While natural disambiguation is generally preferred over comma disambiguation it doesn't seem like "Bracken on the Wolds" is commonly used similar to Bray, Berkshire v Bray on Thames and Madonna (entertainer) (before being moved to the base name) rather than Madonna Ciccone, see Wikipedia:How2title#Examples of parenthetic/comma disambiguation trumping "natural disambiguations" per conventions. Standard sources like the Ordnance Survey for the current place, the township and former parish and KEPN all use "Bracken". When I Google "Bracken on the Wolds" in quotes it only returns 13 results and then gives the option to show the duplicate results. While you would not expect a boat lot of Google hits for a place that is little more than a farm or so and was abolished as a parish in the 1930s you would expect more than 13 non duplicate Google hits which suggests the title is not "commonly used" for the purpose of natural disambiguation.

Hughes even appears to have a dozen pseudonyms, with no indication that any are notable enough to create disambiguation pages. Pierre Alonzo doesn't even seem to be his primary pseudonym per that article. Overall, this football player and manager seems to have clear PRIMARYTOPIC over the title "Pierre Alonzo", and we can just put a hatnote instead for Hughes's pseudonym.

- (Discuss) – Allegations of war crimes in the 2006 Lebanon War → War crimes in the 2006 Lebanon War – The prime reason is WP:CONSISTENCY with virtually all other articles about war crimes: War crimes in the Israel–Hamas war, War crimes in the Kosovo War, War crimes in World War I, War crimes in the Tigray War, War crimes in the Korean War, War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine, War crimes during the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War, War crimes in the Syrian civil war, War crimes in the Second Nagorno-Karabakh War, etc., etc. Not a single article, except this one, uses the term "alleged" or "allegations". The second reason is that the current title borders editorialising. Wikipedia titles denote topics/concepts/events/phenomena, not our opinions about them. Thus, we have Frexit, not: "Theoretical Frexit"; Danish withdrawal from the European Union, not: "Proposed Danish withdrawal from the European Union"; Korean reunification, not: "Ideas of Korean reunification"; Flat Earth, not: "Disproven flat earth theory"; and so on.

- (Discuss) – Bengaluru Airport → Bangalore Airport – This article has gone through a number of move changes but the most recent discussion (seen above) concluded that it should be named Bengaluru Airport. One editor has unilaterally moved the article to reflect the airport's official name without opening a new discussion which I have undone. However, upon reflection, I feel that the WP:COMMONNAME for this article would be Bangalore Airport. This would reflect the consensus seen at Talk:Bangalore#Requested_move_21_March_2024 that Bangalore is the common name of the city, not Bengaluru. Bangalore is also what major English-speaking international carriers describe the airport as including United [3] and British Airways [4]. Qantas, meanwhile, feels the need to clarify that Bengaluru is Bangalore using quotations further underlining that Bangalore is more common [5]. Additionally, given the consensus for the Bangalore article, having the equivalent name for the airport is supported by WP:CONSISTENT. Avgeekamfot (talk) 11:21, 4 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

"Abu Lu'lu'a" is an unambiguous title for the subject and the WP:COMMONNAME apparent in English language scholarship. The appellation of Firuz after this name is something that only comes from a handful of sources by comparison, and was partly done as a form of compromise (an offering to Iranian readers) in the hope of warding off naming disputes. It was unsuccessful in the latter, while the overarching naming confusion has now been conclusively resolved. Since compromise, while sometimes necessary, is not really a policy or guidleline, it seems like this unnecessary addition (which adds no precision, but does detract from concision and muddies the common name) can be dispensed with.

- (Discuss) – Tamil genocide → Tamil genocide allegation – There is neither academic consensus nor even a mainstream narrative that the persecution of Tamils in Sri Lanka constituted a genocide; especially that the article's creator and main author tries to stretch it as far back as 1948. There are very few reliable sources, if any, barring a handful of PhD theses, that would discuss the legal aspect in the terms of the Genocide Convention. The concept of calling the persecutions "genocide" arose fairly recently, predominantly among the Canadian Tamil émigrés – if we run a Google search for "Tamil genocide" excluding "Canada", we get rather few meaningful results.[9]. Add to it the fact that there has been no case, not even a complaint to the International Court of Justice about a "Tamil genocide". Considering all this, Wikipedia should, at a minimum, apply the same rule as in Palestinian genocide accusation, where highly contentious claims are always qualified as accusation or allegation; especially when they are so poorly sourced as in this article. — kashmīrī TALK 11:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Dersim rebellion → Dersim massacre – I opposed the last time this was proposed, but after looking at sources more closely, I am increasingly concerned that the present name is misleading. Although it could be defended on a common-name basis: *The title is misleading: A key point is that the Turkish state planned the ethnic cleansing of Dersim and moved in troops before the "rebellion" occurred that served as a pretext for escalating the violence.[1] Recent sources, especially those published since the last RM, tend to recognize that rebellion is a problematic terminology and several use the word "alleged" or put "rebellion" in quotation marks.[2][3][4] Similar in some ways to the Armenian genocide, the "rebellion" aspect is played up in order to excuse violence that was on a completely separate order of magnitude. Massacre cannot be argued to be a POV term because it is not disputed that a massacre took place. *The title doesn't reflect why the event is notable: the event is notable because of the massacres and ethnic cleansing that took place, not because of very minor anti-state incidents (arson of a bridge and cutting telegraph lines). *The Google Scholar statistics are unreliable because they include Turkish state-sponsored sources that are not reliable for this topic. I oppose a split because the "rebellion" is not independently notable from the massacre. (t · c) buidhe 05:17, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Nunez → Núñez – This should be an article about the Spanish surname "Núñez" itself, not the anglicization of it. Most of the linked people use the name with diacritics rather than without. Note: The revision history of this and the existing redirect Núñez is a bit odd: apparently Nunez and Núñez both used to be separate articles as far back as February 2006, but in August 2011 Luna777 (talk · contribs) turned the article with diacritics into a redirect to the one without, for some reason never given, rather than the other way around. Said user then ceased editing Wikipedia altogether a month later. It's for this reason that I haven't been WP:BOLD and attempted a move myself, even with user rights, because I'm not sure what could be done about that messy history.

The discussion at the time of the complete episode list article being split does not provide a consensus for the –1989 title, just one user suggesting it to no resistance. The proposed title is more WP:PRECISE, and per longstanding project consensus not to treat Doctor Who as two (or three, now) separate series there is no need to be concerned with designated 'eras' above accuracy in this titling. Although its support isn't required in my opinion, nevertheless BBC iPlayer now uses 1963–1996 for its classic series section.

Narrowing it to news results, Rita Tanner is on 300+ (the number stays at "about 300" for all results above), with Sullivan on 299. When you narrow it to books, Rita Tanner once again brings up far more relevant results as a more recognisable name attached to the series.

an alternative name that the subject is also commonly called in English reliable sources
as a form of natural disambiguation. While the journal is often called by its shortened name, Church History, it is also widely known by its full title, Church History: Studies in Christianity and Culture. Also, although this is an article about a periodical rather than an article about a book, WP:SUBTITLE seems instructive here:When the most commonly used name is ambiguous, the full title and subtitle might be suitable to be used as a form of natural disambiguation (see WP:NATURALDIS)

An alternative, with regard to the heading, would be to change it to something like "Slavery and other unfree labor" (or "..labour").

I don't think this is the natural disambiguation case that editor thought it was. The proposed "of" matches the eight pages on SOEs by country, such as State-owned enterprises of China.

- (Discuss) – Who Killed...... The Zutons? → Who Killed the Zutons? – or Who Killed the Zutons (without the question mark) – or Who Killed ... the Zutons? – or Who Killed ... the Zutons (without the question mark). This is the only article title I can find on Wikipedia that includes more than five consecutive dots in its title (and I found only four that have five consecutive dots). That's a rather strange form, and it is not supported consistently in the cited sources. Although the album cover does include six dots, most of the cited sources appear to just use "Who Killed the Zutons?" (or "Who Killed The Zutons?", which Wikipedia would not do), with or without the question mark at the end. Some use an ordinary three-dot ellipsis (with or without spaces around the ellipsis). Also, as pointed out in 2012 by nagualdesign, the album cover and many sources omit the question mark. — BarrelProof (talk) 18:11, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Armenian alphabet → Armenian script – This article encompasses more than just the alphabet; it covers the entire script. The alphabet is merely one part of it. I noticed that a move was already requested. Previously, the main argument against this was that the Armenian script is used exclusively for the Armenian language. However, similar articles about native Caucasian scripts are titled Caucasian Albanian script and Georgian scripts, even though they are predominantly used for a single language as well. Moreover, the Armenian script has occasionally been used for other languages, as exemplified by the Armeno-Turkish alphabet and the relevant section in this article. Therefore, to ensure consistency, I propose the move. Aldij (talk) 13:54, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Ave Maria ... Virgo serena → Ave Maria ... virgo serena – The article is inconsistent about the capitalization of "Virgo". The cited sources and the quoted lyrics and most other sources seem to use lowercase. Note that "serena" is lowercase in the title, so it isn't following the English MOS:CT convention. The language is Latin. The title is arguably an WP:INCIPIT. Ngrams here seem to show the proposed form as the most common. — BarrelProof (talk) 04:31, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Autogynephilic persuasive pornography → Sissy hypno – Contested technical move. I believe "sissy hypno" is the WP:COMMONNAME by far.

- (Discuss) – And Here She Is ... Ann-Margret → And Here She Is – I don't see the ellipsis or her name as part of the album's title in most cited sources. Some use a dash instead of ellipsis and some just omit her name from the title. It's somewhat unclear whether the name is intended to be part of the title or is separate as an identification of the artist. On the album cover, her name is in a different font and color, and there is no punctuation. Omitting her name from the title is the WP:CONCISE approach, and the shortened title is a red link, so it does not appear to be ambiguous. — BarrelProof (talk) 21:35, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Allan Chappelow → Murder of Allan Chappelow – I believe WP:1E applies here. I see no indication that Chappelow's life and work was particularly noteworthy before he was murdered, particularly since all the sources about the details of his life are ones relating to the murder case. Furthermore, the majority of the article is about the trial and conviction of Wang Yam for allegedly murdering Chappelow and the censoring of media reporting of the trial on national security grounds. Therefore it is clear that this page is focused more on the murder than on Chappelow himself, as that is the only part that is especially noteworthy. Tulzscha (talk) 17:12, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

I restored the undisambiguated version as per our policy, Wikipedia:Article titles (Precision and disambiguation), but it was returned to this title.

A quick review of external source material [35][36][37][38] about this subject shows that numerous other publishers also write it "SEA Write Award[s]" not "S.E.A. Write Award[s]", following their own internal style guides, as we certainly should. (Indeed, it appears that the actual majority do, outside of a certain sector of news publishers, but Wikipedia is not written in news style as a matter of policy, anyway.) There is nothing "magically special" about this case that demands an exception. It is entirely sufficient that the dot-laden version will redirect to the more WP:CONCISE and WP:CONSISTENT dotless title. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 02:37, 7 May 2024 (UTC)

Other names appearing for the latter area in academic and research papers are Silesian-Moravian polycentric metropolitan area and Katowice-Ostrava metropolitan area. Sources and initial discussion about the names is available on the talk page.

- (Discuss) – September 2022 Armenia–Azerbaijan clashes → 2022 аttack of Azerbaijan on Armenia – I have not seen a single reliable source saying that Armenia attacked Azerbaijan. But multiple reliable sources say the opposite. Various sources describe the events as an “invasion”, “offensive”, “attack”, or “assault.” There is consensus that Azerbaijan was the one who initiated the hostilities. Some talk about “Azerbaijan’s Invasion of Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Offensive on Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Attack on Armenia”, but they all agree on one thing: Azerbaijan was the initiator of the clash, and it was Azerbaijan who attacked. Therefore, the title “Attack of Azerbaijan on Armenia” perfectly reflects the vast majority of reliable sources and is the least ambiguous. I will provide the overwhelming evidence below: * Human Rights Watch: :“The killings took place during fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces that broke out in mid-September, when Azerbaijan made incursions into Armenia...” * Genocide Watch: :“Azerbaijani military attacks on Armenian territory show Azerbaijani disregard for Armenian sovereignty.” * Freedom House: :“Freedom House Condemns Azerbaijani Attacks on Armenia” :“The Azerbaijani armed forces must immediately cease their deadly attacks on Armenian territory” * Axel Gehring, Ph.D., political scientist and expert in the field of foreign and security policy and researcher at the Institute for Critical Social Analysis of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Berlin: :“On September 13, regular Azerbaijani troops launched a large-scale attack on Armenian territory. This attack took tensions between the countries to a new level.” * Laurence Broers is a specialist in conflicts in the Transcaucasus, founder of the scientific journal Caucasus Survey: :"Azerbaijan's recent attack seeks to enforce terms in negotiations with Armenia" “ The recent large-scale cross-border attacks inside Armenia by Azerbaijan...” * Maximilian Hess, Research Fellow for Central Asia at the Foreign Policy Institute, in Foreign Policy magazine: :“Azerbaijani forces who marched into Armenia continue to occupy part of its territory, in particular heights around the town of Jermuk.” * David L. Phillips, conflict analyst in The National Interest: :“The United States criticized Azerbaijan's recent attacks on Armenia proper” * European Parliament Resolution: :“Strongly condemns the latest military aggression by Azerbaijan on September 12, 2022 on the sovereign territory of Armenia” :“calls on the Azerbaijani authorities, therefore, to immediately withdraw from all parts of the territory of Armenia “ * Wojciech Gorecki, senior researcher at the Department of Turkey, Caucasus and Central Asia: :“in September 2022 Azerbaijan attacked targets located on Armenian territory.” * The Guardian: : “This week, with attention focused across the Black Sea in Ukraine, fighting on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia killed about 100 troops after Azerbaijan shelled a number of towns in Armenia, with both sides accusing each other of “provocations”.” * Der Spiegel: : “Peace negotiations mediated by the European Union have been at an impasse since Baku also attacked territory in the Republic of Armenia in September 2022.” * TIME: : “...democratic nation that was recently invaded by its authoritarian neighbor” : “...but also Armenia, which has been suffering from Azerbaijan's invasion for almost three weeks now.” * BBC: : “I don’t think anyone doubts that Azerbaijan started this operation on the territory of Armenia. Even Azerbaijani commentators admit this. Armenia is currently weak, has little interest in disrupting the status quo.” * Eurasianet :"Azerbaijan launches large-scale attacks on Armenia" :“Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack on targets in Armenia, an unprecedented expansion of the long-running conflict into Armenian territory.” * Michael Rubin, senior researcher at AIP: :“Last week, Azerbaijan attacked Armenia proper. (Last week Azerbaijan attacked Armenia directly)” * Paul Stronski is a senior fellow in the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Programs, specializing in Russia and the South Caucasus: : “..the fact that Russia is preoccupied, certainly led to what looks like an Azerbaijani offensive at this time” : “And what we even saw just in the last few days is actually attacks inside and shelling inside cities inside Armenia, not just along the border." * Kapil Komireddy, political columnist for The Telegraph: : “But so little about Azerbaijan's attack, which goes beyond the disputed territory of Karabakh and targets Armenia proper.” *Seth Franzman, Middle East analyst for The Jerusalem Post , contributor to Defense News, The National Interest and Digest of Middle East Studies: :“Attacks on Armenia represent dangerous escalation” *Carnegie Europe: :“Nearly 300 soldiers died in a large-scale Azerbaijani incursion into the territory of Armenia on September 13-14.” Vanezi (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

- (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.

- (Discuss) – Marc Phillips → Marc Phillips (Welsh politician) – There are three similarly-named politicians — Mark Phillips, Mark Philips and Marc Phillips. The first — Mark Phillips (Guyanese politician) — is fully disambiguated, with Mark Phillips (politician) currently a redlink. The second — Mark Philips (politician) — is only partially disambiguated, with Mark Philips redirecting to the Mark Phillips (disambiguation) page and Mark Philips (English politician) currently a redlink. The third — Marc Phillips — is not disambiguated, with Marc Phillips (politician) and Marc Phillips (Welsh politician) currently represented by redlinks. If this nomination succeeds, Mark Phillips (politician), Mark Philips (politician) and Marc Phillips (politician) should all redirect to the Mark Phillips (disambiguation) page along with Marc Phillips and Mark Philips, the last of which already redirects there. If consensus prefers an alternative option, per WP:SMALLDIFFERENCES, I would support this page's Marc Phillips — who is Wikipedia's sole "Marc Phillips" — remaining as is. Analogously, Mark Philips (politician) — who is likewise Wikipedia's sole "Mark Philips" — should then be moved to Mark Philips. Finally, Mark Phillips (Guyanese politician) — who is Wikipedia's sole politician named "Mark Phillips" — should be moved to Mark Phillips (politician).

- (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 ([39]), 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.

- (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)
- (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 non-biased 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".) Calling it an empire is an overly biased PoV. "Maratha Confederacy" should be used per WP:NPOVTITLE. PadFoot2008 (talk) 14:31, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

- (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)
- (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).

The X church village (also known as X; Finnish: X:n kirkonkylä, Swedish: X Kapellby)

" 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) – Pied-Noir → Pied-noir – Since the title is blocked by renaming and no one seems to agree to change it, and since all, or almost all, other pages in this encyclopaedia maintain capital letters, I have modified this article accordingly, to maintain some consistency. It's undeniable that in French "pied-noir" (and the plural form "pieds-noirs") is never written with capital letters (see https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/pied-noir/60796, https://dictionnaire.orthodidacte.com/article/etymologie-pied-noir, https://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/pied-noir and https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pieds-noirs). I propose the lowercase; of course, all other pages that maintain capitalisation should also be changed (about this last point, I think I'm one of the very few in this encyclopaedia who cares about consistency between articles; perhaps because it's tedious and time-consuming work).

- (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 [42] [43] [44] [45] 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.
