Wikipedia:Requested moves/backlognotice
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.
Uncontroversial requests
Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any reasonable possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required. If you object to a proposal listed here, please relist it in the Contested requests section below.
- Invention and Technology Magazine → American Heritage of Invention & Technology — Move to current title of this periodical (per this), over redirect. Also create Invention & Technology Magazine as a redirect (the short form of the title, as it appears on the website). — TheFeds 20:39, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
- Fuzhou dialect → Foochow language — Move to the NPOV name of this language over redirect. "Fuzhou dialect" is linguistically biased, while "Foochow language" is a NPOV one which can be widely accepted. — Luhungnguong (talk) 02:52, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
- Samuel J. Loomis → Samuel Loomis — Per naming conventions, the title of the page should be the most commonly recognized usage. The "J" middle initial is rarely, if ever actually seen in mainstream media. This appears to be more in-universe than encyclopedic listing. There is currently a redirect error when I attempt to move the page. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC) — BIGNOLE (Contact me) 23:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
Contested requests
With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move proposal, please do not discuss move proposals here. If you support a contested move proposal, please consider following the instructions above to add the proposed page move to the "Other proposals" section below by substituting the {{move}} template on the article's talk page. Proposals that remain here after seven days will be removed.

July 22, 2024
- (Discuss) – MAX (Utah Transit Authority) → BRT (Utah Transit Authority) – "MAX" is no longer used to describe any planned or existing UTA routes, and while using "BRT" to describe most of UTA's planned bus enhancement projects is somewhat dubious, it's what UTA currently uses on their website and branding. https://www.rideuta.com/Services/Bus-Rapid-Transit Nebula3lem123 (talk) 20:45, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Scotia Place (Calgary) → Scotia Place – As the current name of a major sporting arena in one of North America's "Big Four" someone searching for Scotia Place is much more likely to be looking for this arena, rather than a lightly notable office building in which Scotiabank was previously a tenant IceBergYYC (talk) 20:13, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Wikipedia:Requested moves → Wikipedia:Requested title changes – title changes seems like a better name because we are requesting to change the name or title of the page. for example in this requested move the request is to change the TITLE to Wikipedia:Requested title changes so that is why title changes is a more appropriate name for this page. 173.72.3.91 (talk) 19:47, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – GEO Foundation → GEO Academies – The organization appears to now be named "GEO Academies" (URL http://geofoundation.org redirects to http://geoacademies.org.) Qitivi (talk) 19:18, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Sad Story of Self Supporting Child → Sorrow Even Up in Heaven – Seems to be the WP:COMMONNAME in English-language sources ([1], [2],[3],[4], Google search) compared to Sad Story of Self Supporting Child (Google search). Wuju Daisuki (talk) 18:55, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – 2022 Oregon Senate election → 2022 Oregon State Senate election – – similar to 2024 Oregon State Senate election the title should clarify it is a state Senate election because it is not a US senate election. 173.72.3.91 (talk) 18:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Jim Rockford (television character) → Jim Rockford – WP:ONEOTHER. A hatnote to the 1980s football player (Jim Rockford (Canadian football player)) is sufficient. 162 etc. (talk) 17:07, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Jim Rockford → Jim Rockford (disambiguation) over redirect without leaving a redirect (implied), then WP:G14 delete if unnecessary
- (Discuss) – Tiger Woods Learning Center → TGR Learning Lab – This was renamed in 2017, all recent sources refer to it as the TGR Learning Lab. Walsh90210 (talk) 16:44, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Madeleine → Madeleine (disambiguation) – When I search for "madeleine" on Google, I immediately see the French cake showing up. So, I believe that the French cake article should be made primary. GTrang (talk) 16:11, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Jean Kelly (disambiguation) → Jean Kelly – The actress' stage name is not simply "Jean Kelly", but Jean Louisa Kelly per her website, IMDb, Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, Twitter, etc. No need for redirecting Jean Kelly to Jean Louisa Kelly when it can serve as the dab page base name. Anyone searching for her as "Jean Kelly" or for Jeanne Kelly, the early stage name of actress Jean Brooks, or even users who might mistype Gene Kelly as "Jean Kelly", will find all those links directly upon the proposed Jean Kelly dab page without having to go through Jean Louisa Kelly. Four years and eight months ago, above, there were four "support" votes and four "oppose", resulting in "no consensus". — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:40, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Debye–Hückel equation → Debye–Hückel theory – The page on the Debye-Hückel theory contains more information and derives the limiting law. There is not much information here that isn't already there, and there is just the natural place to put the limiting law. Separating it out seems quite weird. I'm new to Wikipedia editing, and so don't trust myself to make this judgement unilaterally despite me not expecting pushback here. Scrooge Mcduc (talk) 13:04, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Luxon → Luxon (disambiguation) – Redirect to Christopher Luxon per WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT. With very few alternative individuals and terms with this name. Christopher Luxon the Prime Minister of New Zealand seems to be the clear primary topic for such name. Zinderboff(talk) 10:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign endorsements → List of Kamala Harris 2024 presidential campaign primary endorsements – Following the format followed in List of Donald Trump 2024 presidential campaign primary endorsements and the fact that she has still be declared as the primary democratic party candidate, until then, the article should be renamed to primary endorsement. Xoocit (talk) 08:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Uniform → List of types of uniforms – This article should be merged into Military uniform, Nurse uniform, School uniform, etc.. The word "uniform" can refer to essentially any form of standardized dress, and this article currently just lists a number of kinds of uniform; the only real common part are the Buttons and Hygiene; the first is about button collecting, which has an article, and the second is about a tax deduction for uniform cleaning, which isn't really enough to write an article about and can be put into respective articles if necessary anyways. It's not possible to write a cohesive article about all kinds of organized dress, just because they're referred to by the word "uniform", all at the same time. I thought of trying to write a History section, but realized that I'd have to write about the development of military uniforms, police uniforms, nurses' uniforms, and McDonalds costumes at the same time, which doesn't make sense because "uniform" is not a cohesive topic. Most of the sections of the this article already have articles treating them. Work uniform (now a redirect) could be restored for that section. The Sports section I'm not sure about, but Sports uniform (also now a redirect) could also be restored. Mrfoogles (talk) 04:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Geo-fence → Geofence – per previous ngram results and discussion. also possibility of using gerundive form instead (i.e., Geofencing) by suggestion of Ahecht. Tule-hog (talk) 23:01, 21 July 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). Tule-hog (talk) 02:35, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Red State → Red state – grammar: not always a proper noun/name (so lowercase in general). dchmelik☀️🦉🐝🐍(talk|contrib) 02:05, 22 July 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Bobby Green → King Green – His name was formally changed to "King Green" and referred to as such on UFC broadcasts.

- (Discuss) – Transbay Transit Center → Salesforce Transit Center – It's been a few years since the last move request. I thought to start a move review, but was told to file a requested move discussion here instead. If the name Salesforce Transit Center wasn't common at the time of the last discussion, it certainly is now. * Keeping the name Transbay Transit Center does not follow Wikipedia:Naming conventions (US stations). Salesforce Transit Center is both the official name, and the common name. * AC Transit calls it Salesforce Transit Center, not Transbay Transit Center. This language is used widespread on AC Transit maps, service alerts, physical signage at bus stops, and digital signage on buses. * List of AC Transit routes has it as Salesforce Transit Center, not Transbay Transit Center. * The official SFMTA Muni Service Map calls it Salesforce Transit Center. * Google Maps does not recognize Transbay Transit Center. A search for "Transbay Transit Center" suggests "Salesforce Transit Center" as the first result. Riders and transit agency workers know it as Salesforce Transit Center. Locals and tourists know it as Salesforce Transit Center. Both commonly and officially, it is called Salesforce Transit Center. Tallneil (talk) 23:00, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Spondyloarthropathy → Spondyloarthritis – I have a couple reasons so I'm going to break them down individually: # WP:MEDTITLE suggests the usage of the ICD for naming disease articles. The ICD classifies Spondyloarthropathy seperately under Degenerative condition of spine however the definition of Spondyloarthropathy used commonly is listed under Inflammatory spondyloarthritis. # Consitancy. The term Axial spondyloarthritis is used instead of Axial spondyloarthropathy. # Popularity. Most articles, both research and just general information refer to the disease as Spondyloarthritis, (examples:[5][6][7][8][9][10]) # Etymology. “arthritis” indicates inflammation of the joint, whereas “arthropathy” just refers to any type of joint disease. # Historical context: This group of disease has almost always been reffered to Spondyloarthritis, I'm not even sure where the term spondyloarthropathy came from. (This article goes over some of the historical context) # Most diagnostic criteria uses the term Spondyloarthritis. This is shown in this article that goes over the different classification criteria for Spondyloarthiritis. I know some of these reasons may seem trivial or aren't a part of the naming conventions however I wanted to be thourough with listing all the reasons I feel this is an appropriate move.

- (Discuss) – Lady Henry Somerset → Lady Isabella Somerset – As mentioned in the article, this person "won the court case in 1878 and resumed the style of Lady Isabella Somerset", and after 1878 she used "Lady Isabella Somerset" as her official style. Because of this name change, the article title of this person in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is "Somerset [née Somers-Cocks], Lady Isabella Caroline [Lady Henry Somerset]", and the ODNB calls her "Lady Isabella" in the article. The British Museum also registers her as "Lady Isabella Somerset". There is also an academic article which calls her "Lady Isabella Somerset". According to Wikipedia:Article_titles#Name_changes, "When this [a change of name] occurs, we give extra weight to independent, reliable, English-language sources ("reliable sources" for short) written after the name change". Since this person is called "Lady Isabella Somerset" in recent reliable sources, the name of the article should be "Lady Isabella Somerset". The move was already proposed in 2017, but it was not performed. saebou (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 21:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (Unicode block) → Unified Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics – To the best of my knowledge, there is no indication that this term is ever used to refer to the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics, especially in title case. –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 08:05, 14 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Non è la RAI → Non è la Rai – see this discussion. JacktheBrown (talk) 21:34, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Uma Musume Pretty Derby → Umamusume Pretty Derby – The official title of the project by Cygames (the owners of the IP) has been Umamusume: Pretty Derby since at least 2021 when the mobile game released, see this press note, and has been more obvious with the releases on the west, including (attaching official websites) Umamusume Party Dash and the mobile game. This could be disputed due to western anime databases (mainly ANN and MAL) listing it as Uma Musume, but it should follow the official one (Crunchyroll, the distributor for the anime, also calls it this way) Kanade2611 (talk) 18:05, 20 July 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink).

- (Discuss) – Allied naval bombardments of Japan during World War II → Allied naval bombardments of Japan – There was only one. Gryffindor (talk) 18:10, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Bombing of Berlin in World War II → Bombing of Berlin – There was only one, see "Bombing of Dresden" for reference. Gryffindor (talk) 18:04, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Substation → Substation (disambiguation) – obvious primary topic by long term significance. Police substation redirects to police station and the only other non-PTM entry is an obscure video game. The current title doesn't meet the policy requirement for natural disambiguation because it is always called "substation" in RS. Google scholar and other searches exclusively return this topic.

- (Discuss) – Records of the Grand Historian → Shiji – WP:COMMONNAME Folly Mox (talk) 16:48, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Anti-Haitian sentiment → Anti-Haitian sentiment in the Dominican Republic – Article has always stood for prejudices and discrimination against Haitians in the Dominican Republic, a core social issue in Hispaniola, deserving a standalone article, regardless of the merits of a possible generic article which does not seem to be on the horizon short-term. This was the case both before and after the renaming, with the difference that the former title ("antihaitianismo") suggested a geographical containment of the topic while the current purely-descriptive English-language title does not. Asqueladd (talk) 15:58, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Inflation (cosmology) → Cosmic inflation – Reasoning: * Natural disambiguation is generally preferred over parenthetical disambiguation * "Cosmic inflation" is natural, with widespread use in both reliable sources and popular sources, especially in titles and first mention * "Cosmic inflation" is more concise * "Cosmic inflation" beats "Cosmological inflation" in all measures of popularity (book ngrams, search trends, unpiped links) Previous move discussion (2008–2009) — Jruderman (talk) 12:57, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Palestinian genocide accusation → Palestinian genocide – Given the movement of Gaza genocide to that title, the current title here has become incongruously inconsistent. How can the parent of a child topic that is not couched in the language of "accusation" be couched in that language? It should be obvious than it should not. More generally, it has become apparent that the language of "accusation" is generally inappropriate. This is not only per MOS:ACCUSED (which outlines how the language of accusation is problematic in its presumptive deployment of doubt (presumably ultimately as a corollary of WP:NPOV)), but also per consistency with similar titles on similar subjects. There are many pages on the topics of presumed or suspected (but not legally ruled on) genocides -- this is in fact the majority of them -- but no other genocide topic on Wikipedia, regardless of how speculative it is, is couched as a "genocide accusation". See the search results. Likewise, the phrase "Palestinian genocide accusation" is all but unknown to scholarship, in stark contrast to "Palestinian genocide", which is a common and widely used phrase, including in titular form, such as in the 2013 The Palestinian Genocide by Israel by the eminent Francis Boyle. In the previous move discussion, I somewhat rallied support around the current title, but that was in October last year, before much of the subsequent discussion around developments in Gaza. It seemed sensible at the time, but that was then, and this is now. Events have moved on significantly since then, not least with the ICJ case and provisional measures -- and hence the Gaza genocide move. As this page covers the overarching legal and scholarly topic of Palestinian genocide, the weight of both everything that went into the Gaza genocide RM discussion, and everything that precedes it in Palestinian history, including the Nakba and all subsequent Israeli policies and actions that have been discussed as conceivably genocidal by legal and academic experts, is under consideration. Given that this page has a significantly grander scope than its child, its title cannot reasonably contain greater doubt than that of its child. Iskandar323 (talk) 12:29, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Sacramento RT Light Rail → SacRT light rail – Similar format to VTA light rail. The article title is trying to use an abbreviated form of the Sacramento Regional Transit District's name, but it is a bit awkward, and "SacRT" seems to be the common abbreviation the agency refers to themselves as, as well as by everyday people, much in the same way "VTA" is the common abbreviation for the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority. Furthermore, like the VTA light rail system, it technically doesn't have its own unique branding, so the "light rail" part of the article name aren't proper nouns and thus don't need to be capitalized.

- (Discuss) – Galois module → Galois representation – I think "Galois representation" is more common than "Galois module" even though technically the latter is more general. Taku (talk) 11:26, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – East Asian age reckoning → Age reckoning in the Sinosphere – Rationale explained here: Talk:Sinosphere#Pages using "East Asia" in place of the Sinosphere and in this longer post. Tl;dr, "East Asia" often excludes Vietnam, which is also a part of the Sinosphere. Related previous move discussions that passed: Seals in the Sinosphere and Sixtieth birthday in the Sinosphere. Open to more suggested titles. Alternates: # Sinosphere age reckoning #* I think a little confusing; may suggest trying to determine the age of the Sinosphere itself. # Traditional age reckoning in the Sinosphere #* This is more precise I feel; currently, as far as I'm aware, the entire Sinosphere no longer uses the age reckoning for major applications, mostly just ceremonial. "Age reckoning in x" can be interpreted as a present and not mostly past practice 104.232.119.107 (talk) 10:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Privately made firearm → Ghost gun – WP:COMMONNAME, see above. WestRiding24 (talk) 08:29, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Tales of the Jedi (TV series) → Star Wars: Tales – Since this move made nearly three months ago has been objected to, here is an RM. I personally don't agree with the need as consensus was reached on the matter. Never the less, this anthology series had its first installment released as (formally) Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi (commonly Tales of the Jedi) in October 2022, with it announced in April 2023 that it would get a second season (wording used by media outlets, though the quote from Filoni was "Tales of the Jedi was so fun the first time, I decided to do some more.") Subsequently, it was announced a year later in April 2024 that this second "season" was a new "installment", Star Wars: Tales of the Empire (commonly Tales of the Empire). This press release shows the use of both formal names as well as the key quote in my view (and the determination of the previous consensus) that Tales of the Empire was
the second installment of the "Tales" series
. Thus, an appropriate name to address this anthology series considering the formal name would be Star Wars: Tales, which provides a WP:NATURAL name. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 17:25, 2 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – STEAM fields → STEAM education – The Slate article cited in the first sentence states that STEAM is not just a collection of five fields, but a movement to integrate creative thinking and design skills into STEM education. And this is how much of the article describes it. But the first sentence defines it as a collection of five fields, and the presence of "fields" in the title reinforces that definition. I think the lede would be more consistent with the sources and with the rest of the article if we change the title to something like "STEAM education" or "STEAM movement" or just "STEAM", and change the first sentence to something like: STEAM education is an approach to teaching STEM subjects that incorporates artistic skills like creative thinking and design.Justin Kunimune (talk) 15:08, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – The Ecologists (coalition) → Ecologist Pole – Party was moved to the name The Ecologists (and then The Ecologists (coalition)) but no source was ever provided to say that there was a name change. The truth is that the coalition today has kind of faded (merged into first NUPES then the New Popular Front), but the WP:COMMONNAME when it was still prominent was clearly "Ecologist Pole" (or "Pôle écologiste" in French). See France Bleu, La Croix, Le Progrès, etc. The logo made for the primaries (see infobox) with the words "Les Écologistes" is just a logo, and does not necessarily mean that this ever was the coalition's official name. It's just that the party commonly known as The Ecologists was the most prominent member of the coalition, and this name most likely gave the coalition the most visibility ahead of the primaries and the elections.

- (Discuss) – Ascalon → Ashkelon (ancient city) – Recently, the name of this article was changed from Tel Ashkelon to Ascalon. The rationale was that Ashkelon and Tel Ashkelon are too similar, and that readers cannot be expected to differentiate. It was said that Ascalon is the name of the historical site. This rationale is invalid. The name Ashkelon, is the conventionally accepted name for both the modern city, and the ancient site. In many cases, the name Ashkelon is even used when referring to periods in which it was historically known as Ascalon. This place has at least 20,000 years of history, accros many periods of times. It was a prehistoric site, a Canaanite, Philistine, Hellenistic city, a Crusader city, an Islamic city... We don't always know its actual name, and it has never had a single way to pronounce its name. I am suggesting to change the name to Ashkelon (ancient city). I divided my argument into three parts: (1) Ashkelon and Ascalon are virtually the same and therefore confusing; (2) The toponym for the ancient site is known in maps and sites as "Ashkelon"; (3) the conentional scholarly name for the city in all periods is "Ashkelon", including periods in which it was called in different names. 1. Ascalon and Ashkelon are virtually the same. It is very confusing still. Differetiating them with "ancient city" in brackets makes no mistakes. Another option would've been "Tel Ashkelon", but there were times in which the ancient settlements in Ashkelon were not exactly on the Tel, and the city often controlled a much broader territory. Tel Ashkelon would strictly refer to the antiquties, but the article's scope goes beyond it. Another opition I thought about was "History of Ashkelon", simmilar to how we have "History of Athens", but I think that this might confuse the people who are looking for the history of modern Ashkelon, whose place should be in the article about the modern city. Therefore, I think that Ashkelon (ancient city) is the clearest option for the scope of the article. 2. Location identification: Today, the principal site of ancient Ashkelon is known as Tel Ashkelon. This is a declared national park in Israel, and it apears by that name. The official name of the park is "Ashkelon National Park". I think it makes a lot of sense to assume, that many people who visit Israel as tourist, will likely enter this Wikipedia article. They will not be referred to Ascalon, but to Ashkelon, either Tel Ashkelon (mentioned here, here, here and [12], which were the first results I was given by google. Therefore, the site, as a location, is better identified with Ashkelon rather than Ascalon Bolter21 (talk to me) 11:03, 20 July 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Israel and apartheid → Israel's apartheid against Palestinians – This move should have been implemented years ago, when the world's most prominent human rights organization were in consensus that Israel's practices and policies in the OPT and within Israel constitute systemic discrimination against the Palestinian people, aka apartheid. The ICJ ruling yesterday by the world's highest court that this occupation constitutes apartheid was the cherry on the top. This move is long overdue, it is time to call a spade a spade. * Human Rights Watch: World Court Finds Israel Responsible for Apartheid * Amnesty International: "The occupation is a key pillar of the system of apartheid that Israel uses to dominate and oppress Palestinians, and which has caused suffering on a mass scale." * Oxfam: "The Court confirmed that Israel is committing the crime of apartheid in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, which is one of the most serious international crimes." * The Intercept: "The court also notably declared Israel’s mistreatment of Palestinians to be a form of segregation and apartheid. * The Guardian: In a historic, albeit non-binding, opinion, the court found multiple breaches of international law by Israel including activities that amounted to apartheid. * Financial Times: The court said these policies were in breach of an international agreement against racial segregation and apartheid, called the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination." .

"Sifrei Kodesh" is a wider category used in Judaism, literally meaning "holy books", although this does have a wider scope than the current content of the nominated article. – Fayenatic London 14:51, 1 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Tonlé Sap → Tonlé Sap Lake – The original name before renamed after the discussion Talk:Tonlé_Sap#Rename above, due to possible confusion with the river that connect the lake and Mekong. The name "Tonlé Sap Lake" is NOT redundant at all. In that discussion user Markalexander100 stated that "Khmer and English terms aren't quite equivalent. In Khmer, as far as I can tell, there is one name- Tonle Sap- which refers to the lake and river together, while in English we differentiate them." This is not quite right because the official name of the lake in Khmer is "បឹងទន្លេសាប" (Boeng Tonle Sap), where បឹង/boeng means lake. So clearly they still have the word "lake" in the name, to differentiate it from the river. ទន្លេ/Tonle means river and that's its only meaning, not "Tonlé already means lake (or a very large, wide river)" as stated by user Dara above. For example, Mekong is "Tonlé Mekong", Bassac River is "Tonlé Bassac", Kong River is "Tonlé Kong". There's no known translation as Tonlé to "lake". Another similarly named geographic feature is the Boeng Tonle Chhmar (a smaller lake next to the Tonle Sap Lake). So to sum up, if we say "Tonle Sap" (without adding "Boeng") to the Khmer-speaking people, theoretically we are referring to the river (according to the meaning of the words). But then since the lake is too well-known, the term "Tonle Sap" will become ambiguous. However, as a matter of fact, they should be able to tell which one you are referring to, based on the context of the conversation. My suggestion is to rename this article to Tonlé Sap Lake, and have a separate article about the river. Two options for this separate article's name is: #Tonlé Sap (as per its literal meaning in Khmer) or, #Tonlé Sap (river) and Tonlé Sap becomes the disambiguation page. The reason for having a separate article for the river is simply because not everything about the river can be merged into the lake's article. For example, Phnom Penh, the state's capital, is located at the mouth of the river and there's probably something about the river related to Phnom Penh's urban planning that's worth writing about. And merging these into the lake's article would be inappropriate. ទន្លេតូច (talk) 23:27, 10 July 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 22:29, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

While WP:Naming conventions (comics)#By codename was sufficient for the decades this character only used "Black Widow", WP:Naming conventions (comics)#By character name seems more applicable nowadays as this character has donned other names and, while Black Widow (Natasha Romanova) is largely deemed the more common/notable Black Widow, the set index Black Widow (Marvel Comics) covers other characters with this name. The character has also been more frequently referred to by her "real" WP:COMMONNAME Yelena Belova in comics and other media, and Yelena Belova (a redirect to this article), provides a WP:NATURAL disambiguation for this subject.

- (Discuss) – J. D. Vance → J.D. Vance – Under MOS:BIOEXCEPT, Vance prefers unspaced initials. There are many sources that do not include a space between "J." and "D.", including The Washington Post, NPR, Reuters, Slate, New York, the Los Angeles Times, The Economist, The Verge, Axios, and Wired. The title tag of his Senate website and the cover of Hillbilly Elegy do not include a space, either. The Atlantic is the only publication that includes a space, though it is inconsistent. However, the about page on Vance's Senate website, his Instagram and Facebook profiles, Trump's WinRed page, the Associated Press, Al Jazeera, CBS News, BBC News, The Independent. PBS News, The Hill, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, NBC News, CNN, ABC News, MSNBC, USA Today, and the Financial Times omit the periods and spaces, so I am not partial against moving this page to JD Vance. Politico, The New York Times, and Variety formerly included periods, but do not now. Additionally, his Twitter account reads "JD Vance"; at the time that this move request was opened, it read "J.D. Vance". For fairness, his name is listed as "J. D. Vance" on HarperCollins' website and his listing on congress.gov. I assume the periods are included in the sources above to conform with the style guides of those respective publications, while Vance prefers no periods whatsoever. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 03:31, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – The Sun → The Sun (disambiguation) – I know, I know, the last discussion on this exact topic closed with consensus against. But the policy on the matter is clear, and the last discussion barely touched that policy at all. WP:PTOPIC says, first, that
A topic is primary for a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term.
With the wikinav entry showing that 2/3rds of people who visit the page are looking for Sun, that criterion seems to be met. You can argue that 2/3rds isn't high enough, but it's twice as likely than every other candidate combined. PTOPIC also says thatA topic is primary for a term with respect to long-term significance if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term.
With all due respect to the newspapers, the Sun meets that criteria with flying colors. I don't see how it could be argued that the thing that sustains all known life doesn't havesubstantially greater enduring notability and educational value
than a couple of moderate-to-large companies. This seems like a pretty clear-cut case to me. theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 02:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Sněžka → Śnieżka – The mountain, located on the border between Poland and the Czech Republic, is widely recognized by its Polish name, "Śnieżka", in international contexts. The usage of this name aligns with global recognition and common usage in various languages, including English. Śnieżka is the highest peak in the Karkonosze Mountains and a prominent feature in both Poland and the Czech Republic. Given its location and significance, using the Polish name honors its geographical and cultural importance within Poland. Wikipedia’s naming conventions emphasize using the most common name in English, and "Śnieżka" is frequently used in English-language texts and references. This change would thus enhance consistency and recognizability for English-speaking users. Other geographical features with dual names often default to the version that holds the most international recognition. Renaming the article to "Śnieżka" follows this precedent and ensures coherence across Wikipedia entries. Paradygmaty (talk) 09:23, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

So it's been moved (and all inbound links to it have been updated) accordingly, and thus the Georgian film no longer needs the double-dab.

- (Discuss) – Transgender hormone therapy → Hormone replacement therapy (transgender) – It has become clear that the current article at Hormone replacement therapy for menopausal application does not qualify as a clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC after reviewing of page navigation flows for Hormone replacement therapy, Hormone therapy and Transgender hormone therapy. An outsizedly large amount of traffic that currently navigates straight from Hormone replacement therapy to Transgender hormone therapy, since HRT is also referred to for it (as outlined in the lead of the article), or to the current disambiguating article Hormone therapy, which combined account for 30% of the navigation from the current HRT article. So I propose that Hormone replacement therapy doesn't have a clear primary topic and as such we should rename the two articles to both use "Hormone replacement therapy" (or HRT in short) as their WP:COMMONNAME with the specific application in parenthesis. And then turn the current "Hormone replacement therapy" into a simple disambiguation page, or redirect it to Hormone therapy (which kind of already acts as a disambiguation page, as also shown from the traffic of the hat note).

Per Wikipedia:Article titles, the title should be recognizable, concise, natural, precise, and consistent. The majority of the sources in the article uses Finalissima or Artemio Franchi Cup (which I hope we can agree is an outdated name), and very little refer to it as the "CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions". In fact source 1 of the article states that the "Cup of Champions" refers to the trophy and "Finalissima" is the tournament. Even a Google search of "CONMEBOL–UEFA Cup of Champions" gives you results on the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and European Rugby Champions Cup with ESPN the only major site that (outside of Wikipedia) that returns this tournament. Google "Finalissima" on the otherhand and it returns results for this tournament from sites such as Sky Sports, BBC, The Guardian, and most importantly UEFA. The women's and fustal version of the tournament have been named "Finalissima". So why isn't the men's if article naming is supposed to be consistent? Mn1548 (talk) 08:43, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – James House → James House (disambiguation) – The only other entities with the exact name "James House" are James House (Rogers, Arkansas) and James House (Pensacola, Florida), which both have less than one page view per day. The singer has over 25. Everything else on the dab page James House except for the singer's album is a partial title match with at least one word other than "James House" in the title. From this evidence, it's abundantly clear that the singer is by far the most common result for people looking for the exact name "James House", and should therefore be the primary topic.

- (Discuss) – Edwina Mountbatten, Countess Mountbatten of Burma → Lady Mountbatten – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONSISTENT. The Ngram shows "Lady Mountbatten" to be way more common than "Edwina Mountbatten". Google also points to the subject of this page as the primary result for the term "Lady Mountbatten". The move would also make the page consistent with the one on her husband, Lord Mountbatten, which was moved following this RM. This form of naming also has precedent (Lord Byron and Lady Byron, etc.). Keivan.fTalk 04:54, 28 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Polyamorph (talk) 18:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – De La Salle Green Spikers volleyball → De La Salle Green Archers volleyball – The above existing pages have titles that do emulate the placement of a disambiguating sports descriptor after the team name, per WP:QUALIFIER. This style of adding descriptors has been prescribed by example by, among other similar college-sports WikiProjects, this page under WP:CBBALL and this page under WP:CFB for titles of pages about United States college teams. Clearly, these descriptors were prescribed in order to naturally disambiguate (by WP:NATURAL) a page about a team playing a certain sport from pages about namesake teams that are playing in other sports. In each of the team pages above being requested for moving, however, 1) the team name used is not that of its institution's team's uniform or collective name but the special nickname or unique moniker given to that specific team playing in its sport, so much so that the need for disambiguation disappears. 2) what is produced by the addition of a disambiguating sport descriptor after the team's special nickname is a redundancy. For example, there are no other De La Salle Green Spikers other than the De La Salle Green Archers team playing men's volleyball. For having a redundant title, the page's title then creates WP:OVERPRECISION and breaches the WP:CONCISE rule. That, however, can be salvaged by replacing the special moniker with the institution's team's uniform or collective name, a replacement which is what would have the need for disambiguation and erase the redundancy.

- (Discuss) – President of the Republic of China → President of Taiwan – WP:COMMONNAME and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC as with the recent move of the President of the People's Republic of China to the President of China. However, now with the ROC largely lost legitimacy to claim as the legitimate government of the Chinese state, let's move some of the pre-1949 historical context of these articles to the (office post) of China and let these articles focus on the history of the heads of state and government on Taiwan during Qing, Japanese colonial rule and the ROC since 1945.

- (Discuss) – Ibrahim al-Maqadma Mosque missile strike → Ibrahim al-Maqadma Mosque attack – It is not at all clear that what happened was the result of missiles launched by a manned aircraft. Forward quotes lieutenant colonel in the Israel army calling it "a drone attack", while The Guardian blames "Israeli shells" and "artillery fire" for the attack. An article in the Journal of Palestine Studies also calls it "shelling". The most detailed account is given in the Goldstone report as "The attack on the al-Maqadmah mosque".VR (Please ping on reply) 04:23, 19 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Template:TSGN and SE Stations → Template:Railway stations served by Govia Thameslink Railway – While a move is required to remove the unnecessary caps in "Stations", the move will also make the naming convention of this template consistent with other TOC station templates, as indicated by the consensus reached at the RM at Template talk:Railway stations served by c2c. The suggested title stems from the fact that Thameslink, Southern, and Great Northern are all a part of Govia Thameslink. At the same time, I'd like to request the Southeastern content be split into a new template called Template:Railway stations served by Southeastern for the same reasons.

- (Discuss) – Sexual and gender-based violence in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel → Sexual violence in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel – Gender-based violence is defined as "any type of harm that is perpetrated against a person or group of people because of their factual or perceived sex, gender, sexual orientation and/or gender identity".[1] It is not currently clear that this article deals with any such violence other than that of a sexual nature, and even then, the lede states that male Israelis were also subjected to sexual violence (which if true suggests that it was not gender-based). A previous discussion on this topic has also shown that many people do not understand what the term "gender-based violence" actually means, so whether including it in the title is usefully descriptive is quite questionable.

NYT "Israeli soldiers and special operations police rescued four hostages from Gaza on Saturday amid a heavy air and ground assault",CNN "Israel’s operation to rescue four hostages took weeks of preparation and involved hundreds of personnel, its military said.
