May 3, 2017

(Discuss) – FiXeR (Download (band) album) → ? – Whichever works, FiXeR, Fixer (album), Fixer (Download album). "(Download (band) album)" is excessive non-standard disambiguation. © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 17:26, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Katie Walsh (politician) → Katie Walsh (political operative) – She is not a politician and has never held elective political office. She is primarily known as a political operative, which is different than politician. Marquardtika (talk) 17:11, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Sampoorna Ramayanam (1958 film) → Sampoorna Ramayanam – Unnecessary disambiguation. It's the only film with that title. The last discussion ended without a consensus, something I'm not gonna let happen this time. Kailash29792 (talk) 14:45, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – List of the largest Protestant denominations → List of Protestant denominations – There were in fact no such article previously - if it would, it should most neutrally be ordered after size; thus this move makes sense from both sides. Compare also equivalent articles in Category:Lists of Christian denominations. Chicbyaccident (talk) 10:44, 24 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Primefac (talk) 14:26, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Sirki → Sarki – The group name is obviously Sarki not Sirki Airkeeper (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC) Airkeeper (talk) 17:58, 23 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Primefac (talk) 14:25, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Bacolod–Silay International Airport → Bacolod–Silay Airport – Per WP:UCN, and the lack of official evidence in support of this airport being reclassified into an international airport by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines. isagani (talk) 12:35, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Death of John Lennon → Murder of John Lennon – Assassination of John Lennon might be too strong, but he certainly was murdered and didn't 'die' as if by old age or disease. The issue is not new on the talk, but was never brought much further. Just speaking from my gut here, challenge me away!:) Gaioa (talk) 06:53, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Language Production → Language production – I intended to move this content to the "Language production" article, but I accidentally capitalized "Production" when I moved it, so it ended up here instead. But I'm not "allowed" to move it. Agrismer (talk) 03:31, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Commonwealth Stadium (Edmonton) → Commonwealth Stadium – Now that Commonwealth Stadium (Kentucky) has been renamed, I would like to propose that Edmonton is the primary topic of Commonwealth Stadium. I also propose that Commonwealth Stadium be deleted as per WP:2DABS. 117Avenue (talk) 02:30, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 2, 2017

(Discuss) – RPM (disambiguation) → RPM – revolutions per minute is not such a sufficiently dominant usage of this three-letter acronym that we should keep it as the primary topic. After Rp2006 changed the target of the RPM redirect, TheDragonFire made a technical request for this move, which was granted (that's what caught my attention, as there was unfinished post-move cleanup needing to be done) but then reversed after DPL bot added one of those nasty {{incoming links}} templates. We've been down this road before, as DPL bot previously templated this in December 2012. The majority of three-letter abbreviations are ambiguous, and this one is too. I finally took on the time-consuming task of disambiguation, and fixed a lot of [[RPM]] links that were intended for RPM (magazine) (which charted the peak positions of songs and albums in Canada), RPM Records (which is itself an ambiguous company name), RPM (Brazilian band), and RPM Package Manager (originally Red Hat Package Manager, for which other software is written, and thus links to it). There are just a handful of these I left unfixed. For now, I intend for the lower-case form, rpm, to remain a redirect to revolutions per minute, as acronyms for units of measurement are frequently given in lower case (e.g., mpg, mph, psi; see WP:UNITS). See also User talk:wbm1058#Why are you changing RPM to rpm? for further background. wbm1058 (talk) 21:41, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Danish Palaces (Fabergé egg) → Danish Palaces – The parenthetic disambiguation in each of these titles is unnecessary. Their unadorned names are unique; we have no other articles that share any of these names. There is no ambiguity to resolve for any of them. For most of these, the articles were recently at the unadorned base names anyway, but were moved after what I believe to be a recent misguided RFC that was not announced at WP:RM and closed by a non-admin closer who I believe misread consensus. In any case, there is no basis at WP:AT or WP:D for including the parenthetic disambiguation in these cases. I understand the desire to have them all look the same as those that require disambiguation, but WP is replete with counter-examples. That's just not how we do things here. For example, we only add (film) in a title of an article about a film if the title is ambiguous. There are a few special cases, most notably most US cities, but the ", state" convention is arguably not disambiguation, as the ", state" is considered to be part of the name of each of these cities. By removing the parenthetic disambiguation on these titles we will bring them in line with policy, guidelines and conventions. Leaving them this way creates a precedent for ignoring our naming conventions and opens the door for much more ambiguity and conflict regarding what titles can be in such cases, a recipe for endless unproductive bickering.

(Discuss) – Nik Shahrul Azim Abdul Halim → Nik Shahrul Azim – WP:COMMONNAME. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 20:07, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – JikeJunyi → Jike Junyi – Page was only created under this title because Jike Junyi "has been protected from creation". Timmyshin (talk) 19:58, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Wan Azizah Wan Ismail → Wan Azizah – WP:COMMONNAME. Wan is her family name. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 19:50, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat → Nik Abdul Aziz – WP:COMMONNAME. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 19:32, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Prager University → PragerU – Prager University now goes by PragerU on its own website and its social media pages, including YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Furthermore, recent media coverage of PragerU identifies the organization as PragerU, and not Prager University. See the Wall Street Journal story cited and The Federalist story in this article, along with this piece in The Washington Times. Jsichel (talk) 19:17, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Robert C. Irwin → ? – There was no consensus in the previous RM to move this Robert Irwin to the primary topic. However, there's still an unresolved question to answer as I think we've come to an agreement that he's never known as "Robert C. Irwin", so the current title is not a good one. I'd like to take a survey of what name people would most prefer so we can get this last question answered. I think the only ones with a likelihood of passing are Robert Irwin (son of Steve Irwin), Robert Irwin (television personality), and Robert Irwin (conservationist) (which would be my ranking in that order). Thoughts? -- Tavix ^(talk) 14:28, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Ghost Rider (film) → Ghost Rider (2007 film) – I belatedly realised that there was a 1982 film sharing the same name (not a feature film, or one as recognised as this), but we could make "Ghost Rider (film)" a redirect to this, bordering on WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. Kailash29792 (talk) 12:13, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Methodist Boys' School (Penang) → Methodist Boys' School, Penang – WP:PRECISE. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 08:11, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Functionality (chemistry) → Functionality – Current title has unnecessary disambiguation. The target is a somewhat dubious redirect. Laurdecl ^talk 06:15, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Template:Beauty and the Beast → Template:Beauty and the Beast (Disney) – The main subject for Template:Beauty and the Beast should be the works adapted from the original rather than works derived from the Disney adaptation. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 03:51, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Template:La Belle et la Bête → Template:Beauty and the Beast

(Discuss) – White Gold → White gold (disambiguation) – This is a disambiguation page, it should be labeled as a disambiguation page. ~~Paul~~ (talk) 02:59, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Hegira (disambiguation) → Hijra – The spelling Hijra transliterates both Arabic: هِجْرَة and Urdu/Hindi: हिजड़ा. Until February 2017, a disambiguation page was there. The current situation, in which Hijra redirects to Hegira (disambiguation) and various things called hijra appear near the bottom of the page, is confusing for people looking for that spelling. See more discussion at Talk:Hijra#Hijra (Islam) is surely primary by a mile. Cnilep (talk) 00:14, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

May 1, 2017

(Discuss) – CODA (magazine) → Coda (magazine) – The name of the magazine should not be in ALLCAPS. As the lone reference and one of the external links cite, it should be in sentence case. ALLCAPS appears to the typeface that the magazine used. It's not an acronym or abbreviation. Ira Leviton (talk) 19:56, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Bill Shine → Bill Shine (actor) – The Fox News co-prez who was fired today could be considered the primary topic. The top exec's Wikipedia article was created Friday, so there aren't reliable page view states to compare. The actor's page should be dabbed in the meantime. Mark Schierbecker (talk) 19:00, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Almoda (singer) → Almoda Rana Uprety – Common name is Almoda Rana Uprety as per sources. Airkeeper (talk) 16:16, 1 May 2017 (UTC) Airkeeper (talk) 16:16, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – In the Loop (film) → In the Loop – The film is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the phrase (and there shouldn't be an encyclopedia entry for the idiom). 60,000+ views for the film in the past 3 months, has established its long-term significance with respect to usage. Wikipedical (talk) 05:01, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- In the Loop → In the Loop (disambiguation)

(Discuss) – Lux Mundi → Lux Mundi (book) – No real primary topic, frwiki has the 2011 album as the primary topic — Dispenser 04:10, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Lux Mundi (disambiguation) → Lux Mundi

(Discuss) – 2016–2017 Israeli Basketball Super League → 2016–17 Israeli Basketball Super League – One used called to MOS:DATERANGE for undoing a move for the style used for all Sporting leagues in this article. Asturkian (talk) 21:12, 23 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 02:38, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

April 30, 2017

(Discuss) – Verizon Fios → Fios by Verizon – For the last year and a half now, it seems that this is now the current name for the service. 76.116.198.27 (talk) 14:42, 23 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. -- Dane ^talk 22:38, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Scottish Television → STV Central – They haven't used the name "Scottish Television" since 2006. Unreal7 (talk) 12:47, 20 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. -- Dane ^talk 22:36, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – National Association for Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals and Transgender People → FRI – The Norwegian Organisation for Sexual and Gender Diversity – to follow the organisation's complete change of name, per talk page discussion, which now includes evidence of this or very similar names used in multiple independent English-language sources : Noyster (talk), 22:13, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Erdoğanism → Political positions of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan – I'm not so convinced "Erdoğanism" may be considered a coherent ideology or doctrine rather than his set of policies aimed at preserving and expanding his power over the country. He has shown "flexible" on issues from the role of democracy, EU membership, or relations to Russia, to name a few. Islamism clearly is part of his political mindset, but is also used as a tool. Rather infrequent mentions of "Erdoğanism" in the media don't make this an undisputed subject of study. We should rather bring this in line with other entries in Category:Political positions of politicians. --PanchoS (talk) 21:59, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Henk Timmer (footballer) → Henk Timmer – WP:SMALLDETAILS. One is called Henk, the other is called Hendrik. Unreal7 (talk) 21:58, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Hendrik Timmer (tennis) → Henrik Timmer

(Discuss) – Free City of Kraków → Free City of Cracow – Regardless of which name is more appropriate for the modern city (and I personally prefer Cracow for that as well, as does the OED), this 19th-century political entry is almost always called Cracow, not Kraków in English. Using the Polish spelling here would be like having an article on the Battle of Volgograd. Even Britannica, which tends to use as few exonyms as possible, uses Cracow when referring to this state. Genealogizer (talk) 20:38, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Mandarin orange (fruit) → Mandarin orange – Ask yourself: When someone says "Mandarin orange", do you think of the tree or the fruit? Timmyshin (talk) 20:13, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Mandarin orange → Mandarin orange (tree)

(Discuss) – Zhang Jin (actor) → Zhang Jin – Zhang Jin (gymnast) was deleted. Even if it's re-created, a hatnote should be sufficient per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, WP:TWODABS. Timmyshin (talk) 19:50, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – List of notable people by intelligence quotient test scores → List of people by intelligence quotient test scores – Obviously only people with the highest IQ test scores will be mentioned in this list. This article need more reliable sources to verify these test scores. Wikipedia support encyclopedic content but not trivial matters. Alexander Iskandar (talk) 19:33, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – B National University → National University, Bangladesh – B National University is clearly incorrect. While National University, Bangladesh has some primary source usage [1] and would seem to be a good title, but other primary source pages just call it National University so could warrant disambiguation variants such as National University (Bangladesh). Dl2000 (talk) 19:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Ontario Seniors' Secretariat → Ministry of Seniors Affairs – The Ontario Seniors' Secretariat underwent a name change in 2017 to the Ministry of Seniors Affairs. A point that has been noted in the article itself. This move would update the article title as well. https://www.ontario.ca/page/ministry-seniors-affairs Davelsilva (talk) 18:46, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Republic of China (1912–49) → Republic of China (1912–71) – Although this article covers the period of 1912 to 1949, maybe expanding the article to include the 1949 to 1971 period in exile on Taiwan can cover. Supreme Dragon (talk) 18:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – 2015 Nice stabbing attack → 2015 Nice attack – Just like the 2016 Nice attack, there is no need to get all specific and say it was a stabbing attack in the article title. 2601:8C:4001:DCB9:9994:4438:446F:641D (talk) 15:51, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia → Malaysian Higher School Certificate – The English name of"Sijil Tinggi Persekolahan Malaysia" is "Malaysian Higher School Certificate" Jpcomic (talk) 14:29, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Grand Vizier → Grand vizier – This is a common noun (see any decent dictionary), parallel to "prime minister" Chris the speller ^yack 14:15, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- List of Ottoman Grand Viziers → List of Ottoman grand viziers

(Discuss) – Aleksandër Moisiu University → ? –
There is a concern that this article might be titled incorrectly. The official name for the school is Aleksandër Moisiu University of Durrës, while the article is titled with what might be (or might not be) the most COMMONNAME. Another possible common name, University of Durrës, is also mentioned in the lead. The pagemove logs show activity in 2011 and 2015 by a suspected multiple-account user: Aleksandër Moisiu University
University of Durrës
Aleksandër Moisiu University of Durrës So a decision should be made whether to keep this page at its present title or move it to the school's official name or to another common name. Paine Ellsworth ^put'r there 13:05, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – List of awards and nominations received by The Chainsmokers → List of awards and nominations received by the Chainsmokers – Per Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/The Beatles, which reached consensus to use "the Beatles" in the middle of sentences. List of awards and nominations received by the Beatles is not at List of awards and nominations received by The Beatles. I fail to see why the Chainsmokers, another music group, should be treated any differently. f e minist 09:53, 23 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

(Discuss) – Aftermath (The Rolling Stones album) → Aftermath (Rolling Stones album) – Per Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/The Beatles and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles/Archive 8#Parenthetical disambiguators, the definite article should be omitted for disambiguation. Articles in Category:The Beatles albums and Category:The Beatles songs use (Beatles album) and (Beatles song) for disambiguation, not (The Beatles album) or (The Beatles song). Don't Let Me Down (Beatles song) is not at Don't Let Me Down (The Beatles song). I fail to see why the Rolling Stones, another music group, should be treated any differently. feminist 10:11, 23 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. Andrewa (talk) 12:27, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Falls of Clyde (waterfalls) → Falls of Clyde – I suggest this is the primary meaning, it is a well-known landmark, and the original meaning. The ship should be a hatnote. PatGallacher (talk) 11:46, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Alive (The Black Eyed Peas song) → Alive (Black Eyed Peas song) – Per Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/The Beatles and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject The Beatles/Archive 8#Parenthetical disambiguators, the definite article should be omitted. Articles in Category:The Beatles albums and Category:The Beatles songs use (Beatles album) and (Beatles song) for disambiguation, not (The Beatles album) or (The Beatles song). Don't Let Me Down (Beatles song) is not at Don't Let Me Down (The Beatles song). However, the Black Eyed Peas is not as clear cut, because the group was originally named "Black Eyed Peas" and officially changed to "the Black Eyed Peas" subsequently. I still think this is worth discussing. feminist 10:26, 23 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. Anarchyte (work | talk) 11:22, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – United Kingdom Brexit negotiations → Brexit negotiations – Including "United Kingdom" sounds kind of odd in this article title. Which other country would be carrying out Brexit negotiations?

(Discuss) – BURRDA → Burrda – WP:TMRULES, it's not an initialism and therefore shouldn't be in all caps. (The company uses all caps on its website, but almost all other sources don't.) Also "Burrda" and "Burrda Sport" seem to be used almost interchangeably even by the company itself, but as there doesn't seem to be anything else notable called Burrda the shorter name is probably fine. 86.130.177.16 (talk) 17:44, 29 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Thai League T1 → Thai League 1 – Soon after the page was renamed from Thai Premier League following the above discussion, the editors BTechTV and KungDekZa have moved this and related articles to Thai League 1, etc, without following procedure, and have since been reverted. However, I think the previous consensus was pretty weak, since it wasn't based on any strong evidence and was sparsely attended. A cursory Google News search reveals that most mentions are in the form of "Thai League 1" or "Thai League (T1)", which seems to support BTechTV and KungDekZa's moves.

(Discuss) – University of Applied Sciences Deggendorf → Deggendorf Institute of Technology – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. Aloneinthewild (talk) 19:28, 29 April 2017 (UTC) University of Applied Sciences Deggendorf → Deggendorf Institute of Technology – Rationale: The institution's chosen self-designation is "Deggendorf Institute of Technology", which is visible on the institutional website: https://www.th-deg.de/en/university. This corporate rebranding reflects the fact the university has officially been granted by the Bavarian Government the German-language title/designation of a "Technische Hochschule" subsequent to their winning of a federal state-wide competition for this title. A "Technische Hochschule" is not a standard "Fachhochschule" (University of Applied Sciences) anymore. There is not point whatsoever in insisting in an outdated and now simply inaccurate name..

Their own website and social media accounts reflect the rebrand. https://www.jerseywartunnels.com/ https://www.facebook.com/jerseywartunnels/ Rekawilson (talk) 15:31, 21 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting.

(Discuss) – Japanese Occupation → Japanese occupation – That's the capitalisation used in the dab entries. All the best: Rich Farmbrough, 23:31, 28 April 2017 (UTC).[reply]

(Discuss) – Fermi–Pasta–Ulam problem → Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou problem – The 2008 article in Physics Today cited in the Wikipedia article called for the FPU problem to be renamed to the FPUT problem. While it has been slow to retroactively rename the problem to reflect the contributions of Tsingou, current sources call it by its new name. I'm requesting that we update the page to reflect the name used in recent literature. Here are some contemporary sources that reflect the name change: *Vibrational resonances in 1D Morse and FPU lattices (2008 - within the intro paragraph the authors reference Tsingou and use FPUT to refer to the problem for the remainder of the paper) *Coupled Oscillator Models with no Scale Separation (2008) *Caltech physics PhD thesis (2009) *Advances in Chemical Physics, Vol 153 (2013) *Scaling perspective on intramolecular vibrational energy flow: analogies, insights, and challenges (2013) *Holographic Thermalization, stability of AdS, and the Fermi–Pasta–Ulam–Tsingou paradox (2014) *Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics talk (2015) *Leeds University lecture notes on FPUT (2016) *University of Trieste computational physics lecture notes mentioning FPUT (2016) *Early time evolution of a localized nonlinear excitation in the β-FPUT chain (2017) *Study unravels long-held Fermi puzzle tied to nonlinear systems (2017 - this happened last week) While it is true that the old literature refers to the FPU problem, the current community has embraced the name change and Wikipedia should reflect this.

(Discuss) – 2017 Paraguay protests → 2017 amendment to the Constitution of Paraguay – The protests, and even the specific vote in the Congress that sparked the protests, are just secondary subtopics of the main topic, the bill for amending the Constitution of Paraguay. The article should be focused on it. Cambalachero (talk) 18:02, 20 April 2017 (UTC)--Relisting. TonyBallioni (talk) 21:49, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Color Force (company) → Color Force – While "color force" is a term related to quantum chromodynamics, it does not appear at all in that article. Furthermore, independent sources show that it is written in lowercase, so here the film company can be at Color Force without disambiguation per WP:DIFFCAPS.

(Discuss) – Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim → Los Angeles Angels – All of the primary sources no longer have "of Anaheim" in the titles: * Official team website "Official Website of the Los Angeles Angels" * Official Facebook page "Los Angeles Angels" * Official Twitter feed "Los Angeles Angels" In addition, multiple secondary sources also use "Los Angeles Angels": * ESPN * MLB.com * CBS Sports * Fox Sports * Associated Press * Bleacher Report * SB Nation * Sports Illustrated The remaining uses of "Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim" are Baseball Reference and Google, the latter of which appears to draw from the Wikipedia title. Seems now not only would WP:COMMONNAME apply, and likely has for some time, but even WP:OFFICIALNAME does as well. JonRidinger (talk) 12:32, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – European Extremely Large Telescope → Extremely Large Telescope – The telescope name has been updated. Please see http://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/elt/. Note, however, that the wiki page Extremely large telescope already exists, so we should be able to have both page (i.e., Extremely Large Telescope and Extremely large telescope).

(Discuss) – Hurricane Alice (December 1954) → Hurricane Alice – It's seemed to be a primary topic for me - Why? When compared to other storms using this name in the Atlantic, i can say even the June version of this storm is more larger in the page bytes than this one, this incarnation of the storm is very notable for being formed very early (it's the earliest) in the season. Using the Wikimedia's Pageviews tool, when compared to other storms using this name (in Atlantic!) this one trumped another incarnations of the storms using this name. I cannot say anything than just move this page into without the years. NOTE: If this request got a consensus that results in a move, i would like for June version to be moved into Hurricane Alice (1954), but i think this move will be very controversial (since due to the fact that are two Alices in this year rather than one Alice). So, i might doubt that it will be moved same time as this incarnation does. Anyways, Thanks! SMB99thx XD (contribs) 10:45, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Cedar Fire (2003) → Cedar Fire – It obviously looks like a primary topic for me - Why? When compared into Cedar Fire of 2016, this is absolutely VERY destructive and as such it's much more notable than that. Compare the 2003 incarnation and 2016 incarnation with the Wikimedia's pageviews tool, the 2003 version fully trumped the 2016 version. I cannot doubt that this is the primary topic.

(Discuss) – 9-1-1 → 911 (emergency telephone number) – per WP:CONSISTENCY with 108 (emergency telephone number), 112 (emergency telephone number), 119 (emergency telephone number), 999 (emergency telephone number) etc. Looking at Wikimedia commons [which by the way also uses the form '911 (emergency telephone number)' format] it is clear that usage on signage is mixed between the form 911 and 9-1-1 however if there is no clear WP:COMMONNAME then it seems more logical to be consistent across Wikipedia than have this one article as the exception. Furthermore, as has been noted many times on comments on this talk page, nobody types the hyphens in "9-1-1" on their phones when they make a call, they just type "911".

(Discuss) – Berberia (genus) → Berberia – Existing redirect at Berberia links to Barbary Coast, for which it is an obscure synonym (see WP:R#DELETE), and where that term is not discussed or even mentioned.

(Discuss) – .bangla → .বাংলা – The title of this ccTLD related article should be .বাংলা not .bangla (In english .বাংলা can be romanized as .bangla, but the english romanized latter is not a valid domain. eg: http://উত্তরাধিকার.বাংলা is valid but http://উত্তরাধিকার.bangla isn't valid). I saw there is other articles like .рф, .срб, those articles didn't use romanized latter as article title. So i request to move this. Aftabuzzaman (talk) 19:39, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Western Association of Schools and Colleges → WASC Senior College and University Commission – The Western Association of Schools and Colleges no longer exists as a 501c3 entity. It has been dissolved. The organization this article primarily responds to is WASC Senior College and University Commission (formerly the Western Association for Schools and Colleges Accrediting Commission for Senior Colleges and Universities).The article should be named accordingly to the reflect the new organization name Henry.hernandez.wscuc (talk) 17:51, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Allendale station (NJT) → Allendale station (NJ Transit) – Matching the disambiguation to the name of the transit system per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (US stations)#Disambiguation. The NJ Transit was moved over a year ago, and in the discussion it was determined that that's the common name, and I expect it's more WP:RECOGNIZABLE for readers than "NJT".

(Discuss) – Israeli involvement in the Syrian Civil War → Iran–Israel proxy conflict during the Syrian Civil War – Per above rationale that Israel has in fact refrained from direct participation/involvement in the conflict and there is a long-standing consensus not to list Israel as a party in the war per WP:WEIGHT, WP:EXCEPTIONAL and WP:NOTABILITY. Some issues of the Syrian conflict are linked with Israel - notably including the limited spillover cross-border incidents (spillover is not involvement) occasionally taking place. Furthermore, sometimes there are allegations over mostly non-confirmed claims regarding attacks on Hezbollah and Iranian targets in the region, indirectly linked with the Syrian conflict - which this article is dealing with. This article is clearly emphasizing allegations on possible Israeli attacks against Hezbollah and Iran in the region, which may have occurred in Syrian territories or Lebanon (IDF refused to comment on location of targets, though one time accused Hezbollah on 2015 attack from Lebanon and once admitted on attacking Hezbollah in 2017). In any case - this is being much less WP:WEIGHT than the actually involved parties in the Syrian War. Finally, many sources speaking of "Israeli involvement" in Syrian conflict in fact refer either to a possible future scenario which is essentially WP:CRYSTALBALL (see Israel Drawn Into Syrian War by Islamist Threat to Druze (2015) "Israeli army chief Gadi Eisenkot told a parliamentary panel Tuesday that the military would act if needed to prevent a massacre of Druze on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights") or referring to Israeli diplomatic efforts in this regard (see Remaking Syria: A Military Update, the Diplomatic Situation, and the Israeli Angle (March 2017) "Israel, which has largely been distanced from the Syrian quagmire, senses its lack of influence over arrangements currently underway in Moscow, Tehran, Ankara, Astana, and Geneva.

(Discuss) – Bill Poole (politician) → Bill Poole – William Poole was known as "Bill the Butcher" and "Bill the Butcher Poole", and less commonly as "Bill Poole". The current politician is known as "Bill Poole" primarily, and the disambiguator shouldn't be necessary. A hat note at the top of the Alabama politician's page can easily direct people to the gang leader's page. – Muboshgu (talk) 20:33, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Eric, Duke of Södermanland → Eric Magnusson – Eric was not "Duke of Södermanland". His duchy was made up of Södermanland and parts of Uppland, but his title was simply "Duke"(c.f. Svensk biografiskt Lexikon [6]). The current title only give hits on what appears to be automated translations of books in Swedish and a "book" made up of Wikipedia articles in Google books [7]. If the current disambiguation page for Eric Magnusson is deemed to have higher priority, this could be moved to Eric Magnusson (duke) instead.

(Discuss) – Union for Europe of the Nations–European Alliance → European Alliance – The group currently adopts this name and has adopted it for most of its history (1996–2004 and 2009–present). I know that there is an article named European Alliance right now, but that should be moved to European Alliance (Kosovo), as this article covers the main topic.

I think all mentions of Valeria Gontareva on English Wikipedia should use the same spelling of her name which was not the case when I wrote this as pointed out by Toddy1 on 10 April 2017 on my Talkpage. — Yulia Romero • Talk to me! 15:06, 18 April 2017 (UTC) --Relisting.

(Discuss) – Dualism (philosophy of mind) → Mind–body dualism – body dualism}} – The current name is unwieldy and awkward, I don't feel it is restricted only to the "philosophy of mind" (it could refer to metaphysics and potentially other philosophical sub-fields), and personally the topic took me several minutes to finally find. Typically, I have heard it labelled in philosophy books as Metaphysical dualism, though Google results show that Mind–body dualism is even more common. It certainly would have been easier to track down. Either name I've suggested seems preferable to me. Wolfdog (talk) 20:07, 25 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Discuss) – Mandy (Scott English and Richard Kerr song) → Brandy (Scott English and Richard Kerr song) – Tough call here, but I believe this move should be done. The most popular recordings of this song, most notably the one by Barry Manilow, are titled "Mandy", but the original song that was recorded was titled "Brandy". For that reason, I don't think that WP:COMMONNAME applies in the case of this article's title since from precedence I have seen, the title of the song goes to the original recording or the original performer of the song when a song has a/multiple cover(s). And finally, the current title is misleading since the songwriters in the disambiguator, Scott English and Richard Kerr, never released a song titled "Mandy" ... since it was titled "Brandy".

Even Matt Bloom has been using his real name ever since he became a trainer (and future head trainer) while in the WWE.
