  • Hydro → Hydro (disambiguation) — (Discuss) — "Hydro (disambiguation)" should be the page to describe what hydro may refer to. The term "Hydro", in Canada in particular, refers to electricity produced in general from any source, as per this section of the Hydroelectricity page. I cannot start working a page for the word and its usage in Canada until the disambiguation page is at its proper location. There are numerous references available on this topic.

  • Bollywood → Hindi Cinema — (Discuss) — The name bollywood does no justice to Hindi Cinema. Even American movie industry's name is not hollywood check Cinema of the United States. What is the rationale of keeping the name bollywood. Specially when the city is not anymore named Bombay? I was trying to rename it to Hindi Cinema which is much more appropriate, but it got misspelled as Hindi Cinena and would not rename to Hindi Cinema, so I had to change it to Hindi Movie Industry. Bollywood in no way is a justified name. Why dont you rename the Indian people name to Curries just because thats the name for them popular in Australia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nihits (talk • contribs) 08:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Kingdom Hearts → Kingdom Hearts (video game) — (Discuss) — Since the launch of the first game Kingdom Hearts has developed into a wide series consisting of numerous games, novels as well as mangas. Thus Kingdom Hearts is now more commonly referred to as a series rather than as simply the first game. The move is also supported by the disambiguation section of the naming conventions for the series. Hence the first game should be moved to Kingdom Hearts (video game) and the series page should be moved to Kingdom Hearts. An example of how this has been done before is that Final Fantasy directs to the series page while the first game, Final Fantasy is under Final Fantasy (video game) --KiasuKiasiMan (talk) 16:28, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Formation (stratigraphy) → Geological formation — (Discuss) — - I think that this article should be moved back to its previous name, "geological formation". It cannot simply be called "formation" because of all the other definitions of the word ("formation" is a disambiguation page). I think that it is usually preferable to have a two word article title than a one word title with a disambiguation word in parentheses. Also, I think that "geological formation" should be used instead of "geologic formation" because it is the more common form of the term. It is not my first choice, or even my second, but even "stratigraphic formation" would be a preferable name for the article. -- Kjkolb (talk) 07:19, 7 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yiddish language → Yiddish — (Discuss) — - As with several other languages like Hindi and Latin, the term "Yiddish" is ubiquitous in the English-speaking world with the language. The term literally just means "Jewish" in German, and the people who speak the language are commonly known as Ashkenazi Jews or the "Ashkenazim" in English. They are never referred to as Yiddish. This distinguishes the language from others like "German", whose name can pertain to a people and country as well as the language. A google search for "Yiddish" returns hits related solely related to the language. --84.92.117.93 (talk) 22:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wallingford → Wallingford, Oxfordshire — (Discuss) — The small town in England is not the primary topic for the term "Wallingford". A general web search shows a mix of hits from various topics including the town in Connecticut, the town in Vermont, a neighborhood in Seattle, and a bicycle company. Google News and Google Books shows a mix between various people's names and the town in Connecticut. Google Scholar shows mainly people's names. The unqualified Wallingford should be a disambiguation page since the English town is not the primary topic and so should not be at the base name when there are other topics known as Wallingford that are at least as significant as the English town. --Polaron | Talk 16:09, 5 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Tajiks of Xinjiang → Tajiks in China — (Discuss) — I propose moving the article Tajiks in Xinjiang to Tajiks in China. This is the only article about minority groups in China that uses the name of the province rather than the country in the article title. For other examples see Mongols_in_China, Koreans_in_China, Vietnamese_people_in_China, and Russians_in_China. Very few other articles about minority groups would use a province or state versus a country in the name. Moreover, this page’s original title was Tajiks in China and was changed to Pamiris in China by a user who eventually had their account permanently blocked (see:User_talk:Banigul). The move was in violation of Wikipedia move protocol in that there was neither a discussion on the talk page nor was there a request to move the page. This page was then moved again without a request or discussion from Plateau Tajiks to Pamiri people in China, then to Mountain Tajik people, and finally Tajiks in Xinjiang. Within the article the term Tajik has been replaced by Pamiri by a single editor and there is currently an open dispute discussion the talk page. In my opinion, the term Tajik is more appropriate than Pamiri because the official name of the minority group in China is Tajik, virtually all of the literature with a very small number of exceptions refers to this group as Tajik, and the Ethnic groups in China page refers to the group as Tajiks, as does the map of ethnolinguistic groups in China.

  • User:Nikiandi/Fotonovela → Fotonovela — (Discuss) — - [This page should be listed as Fotonovela because the redirect for "Fotonovela" takes you to Fumetti, the Italian word for comics, which is not an accurate description of the Hispanic/Latino term, fotonovela, but rather a broad definition that covers several formats of the comics media from the Italian perspective. A fotonovela is a comic-type format that uses photographs of people to tell a story. This page explains just the fotonovela format.] --Nikiandi (talk) 19:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • Phil&teds (strollers) → Phil&teds — (Discuss) — - There is no reason to have the disambiguation "(stroller)" in the page name, except to circumvent the previous protection of the old name, which has had pages deleted twice per WP:CSD#G11 (blatant advertising). I cannot see the former versions, but it seems to me that this page is not blatant advertising, as it is not particularly effusive and does cite reliable sources. But in either case, this page needs attention. If this page is just like those that have been deleted, then it should be deleted. If it isn't, then it should be moved to the proper name. --BlueMoonlet (t/c) 15:55, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Persecution of Falun Gong → Supression of Falun Gong — (Discuss) — Three reasons. Firstly, it is evident that the subject covered in the article deal with both the media campaign and the alleged torture, mistreatment etc. Much of this article does not describe "persecution" in and of itself, but rather what the Chinese regime did to suppress the movement; the 'persecution' of the practitioners was one of the means. Secondly, the title is not grammatically sound. Falun Gong practitioners are the subjects of persecution, not Falun Gong; people get persecuted, not movements. Movements are suppressed. Concerns for neutrality of the title is also worth note. --Colipon+(Talk) 22:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Psychro → Psychro Cave — (Discuss) — Psychro is a village near the cave, so a page with this name alone should be about the village. I think that the cave is better known as Dhiktean, Diktaean or Dictean cave, but I admit that that title could have been confused with the mythological Dictean cave.] --Stegop (talk) 20:05, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cyrus of Anshan → Cyrus I — (Discuss) — - The name "Cyrus of Anshan" is not used anywhere. And since "Cyrus I" is not ambiguous, and the only one with this name I propose this move. Also using google books test makes sure that Cyrus I is the correct name. Moreover using the usual Encyclopaedias like Britannica (Cyrus I as title and "king of Persia" as subtitle) and Iranica, and the Cambridge History series makes sure the name "Cyrus I" is correct and unambiguous. Xashaiar (talk) 13:25, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Cambyses of Persia → Cambyses II — (Discuss) — - The name "Cambyses of Persia" is not used anywhere. Making such title would be justified if "Cambyses II" was ambiguous and used by another person with the same notability. This is not the case and he is the only one with this name and notability. I propose this move. Also using google books test makes sure that Cambyses II is the correct name and some Encyclopaedias like Britannica ([11]) or Dictionaries, or more specialised works like The Cambridge History series, show that "Cambyses II" is unambiguous, unique among notable people, and correct and widely use. --Xashaiar (talk) 12:59, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Thraco-Roman → Daco-Roman — (Discuss) — "Articles are normally titled using the most common English-language name of the person or thing that is the subject of the article. In determining what this name is, we follow the usage of reliable sources, such as those used as references for the article." The article describes the early stage of the history of the Romanian people and uses the "Thraco-Roman" expression. However, the article itself refers to the fact that it was only Ovid Densusianu who used this name for the ancestors of the Romanians around 1900. In modern works, one can only find one which uses this expression, but not in connection with the early Romanians, but in connection with a Roman village in Bulgaria (the other search results do not contain the expression "Thraco-Roman", but only the separate words "Thraco" and "Roman") [[12]]. In the context of the arcticle, modern works exclusively use the "Daco-Roman" expression [[13]], for example:*Grumeza, Ion: Dacia: Land of Transylvania, Cornerstone of Ancient Eastern Europe (Hamilton Books, 2009, ISBN 978-0-7618-4465-5)*Oltean, Ioana A.: Dacia: Landscape, Colonisation, Romanisation (Routledge, 2007,ISBN 978-0-415-41252-0)*Parry, Ken – Melling, David J. – Brady, Dimitry – Healey, John F. (Editors): The Blackwell Dictionary of Eastern Christianity (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2001, ISBN 0-631-18966-1)*Bradshaw, Michael J. – White, George W.: Contemporary World Regional Geography: Global Connections, Local Voices (The McGraw Hill Companies, 2004, ISBN 0-07-254975-0)*Pop, Ioan Aurel: Romanians and Romania: A Brief History (Columbia University Press, 1999, ISBN 0-88033-440-1)Borsoka (talk) 04:52, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • This Place is Death → This Place Is Death — (Discuss) — - I wish I had noticed this discussion when it was happening last time. Capitalizing "is" IS standard. "Is" is a verb and verbs are capitalized in titles. The shortness of it is completely irrelevent. There are plenty of two letter words that get capitalized. As can be seen in that last link though, there are some styles that choose to capitalize all verbs EXCEPT forms of "to be" (i.e. "be", "am", "is", "are", "was", "were", "been"). I don't understand this at all personally, the lower case looks really wrong to my eyes, but both happen. However Wikipedia's manual of style tells us to use the first one where forms of "to be" ARE capitalized. Even if we wanted to go with the style ABC uses instead (which we're not supposed to), they aren't even consistent on the issue. The press releases for "Dead Is Dead" and "This Place Is Death" both have a lower case "is", however the release for "Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" has a capital "is", and on ABC's own episode guide they use a capital "is" for all three. --DocNox (talk) 23:52, 29 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Carlos Zambrano (baseball) → Carlos Zambrano — (Discuss) — - There was no reason for this page to be moved from its original location. Carlos Zambrano, the pitcher, is by far the most well-known of the two Carlos Zambranos that have articles on en.wiki. This is further evidenced by the fact that Carlos Zambrano redirects to this page, proving that the disambiguator is totally unnecessary. The hatnote at the top of the article page is fully enough to point people in the right direction if they arrive here accidentally. --KV5 (Talk • Phils) 12:02, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • To Aru Majutsu no Index → Toaru Majutsu no Index — (Discuss) — - On the debate of whether とある in the title should be "Toaru" or "To Aru," the article has settled on "To Aru" on the assumption that they are two separate words. Indeed, one notices a similarity in the definition of "とある" and "ある" (aru), however, there are two issues with "to aru." (A) both Daijisen [14] and Daijirin [15] give a single entry for "とある", and (B) what would "To" mean if the pronunciation was a separate word? It wouldn't be "and," or any other definition listed at wiktionary. "Toaru" spelling is not uncommon, however one reason I am putting this up for discussion is because the article title has been "To Aru" for a long time now. --Tokek (talk) 16:21, 25 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
