This list is also available in a page-link-first format.
November 05, 2013
- (Discuss) – Shark Attack 3 → Shark Attack 3: Megalodon – Full title of the film. Old Naval Rooftops (talk) 09:12, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Smoulder → Smouldering – Article titles made up of verbs should be in the gerund form. Red Slash 00:30, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
November 04, 2013
- (Discuss) – Supersister (Dutch band) → ? – The name should be either "Supersister" or "Supersister (band)". Let's discuss which is better. gidonb (talk) 22:55, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Tobacco politics → Tobacco politics in the United States – To reflect scope. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 22:51, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Flemming (Dutch band) → Flemming (band) – No articles on other bands by this name. gidonb (talk) 22:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Moke (Amsterdam band) → Moke (Dutch band) – Organizing two bands with the same name by their common denominator and their separating feature. gidonb (talk) 22:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – George Sage → George Sage (footballer) – Between the 19th century footballer and the 19th century federal judge (not to mention the similarly named physicist), it seems unlikely that there is a true primary topic here. I propose to move this page and create a disambiguation page at this title, unless I am missing some remarkable importance of the current occupant. bd2412 T 21:23, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Nancy Landon Kassebaum → Nancy Kassebaum – Per Wikipedia:Article titles, "Nancy Kassebaum" is the more widely used name, and is more CONCISE. There is no other notable person name "Nancy Kassebaum", so the inclusion of "Landon" is not needed to distinguish this person from any other person. Furthermore, since only a fraction of Wikipedia articles on contemporary married American women include both a married name and a maiden name, it is more consistent with general titling practices to avoid using both names unless the subject is substantially better known by both names. In this case (as indicated below), just about every metric indicates that this person is more widely searched for and more widely known as Nancy Kassebaum. Cheers! bd2412 T 20:47, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Geoffrey Webb → Geoffrey Fairbank Webb – There are two Geoffrey Webbs. Geoffrey Ian Webb's page was created second and is titled Geoffrey Webb (professor) which does not provide suitable disambiguation from an article on Professor Geoffrey Fairbank Webb Relisted. BDD (talk) 19:51, 4 November 2013 (UTC) Andrea.lester (talk) 21:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – First Nigerian Republic → Nigerian First Republic – In French First Republic, moving French First Republic to First French Republic was opposed, where the argument was "the Nth Republic" was a single term and "French" was a disambiguator. Relisted. BDD (talk) 19:45, 4 November 2013 (UTC) --Article editor (talk) 18:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC) Article editor (talk) 18:20, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – AXA Equitable Center → AXA Equitable Building – Building official website uses this name[1]. Relisted. BDD (talk) 19:19, 4 November 2013 (UTC) 141.191.20.1 (talk) 16:28, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (2000 musical) → The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (musical) – User:Dougweller redirected The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (musical) to the novel, apparently intending to redirect it to The Wizard of Oz (1902 musical), which was never known by the longer title, the making his move inappropriate and making the date unnecessary in the article title. Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 19:19, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Rajneesh → Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh – :note that this was a hasty and not very well considered move. This article has a history of controversy and bold moves such as this would generally warrant a longer consultation period.:Personally, I see insufficient justification, it is far being a matter of honorific title usage.:Across most of the notable literature on the subject, Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is by far the most widely used title for this individual.:We generally refer to the best secondary sources to ascertain appropriate titles, those sources in this instance are mostly academic publications and most use "Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh.":Google Scholar: Shree Rajneesh usage 1993-2012:Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh is still widely used in mainstream writings.:Also: "Osho Rajneesh" usage 1993-2013:Marion Goldman (a notable academic commentator on Rajneesh) interchanges Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh with Osho Rajneesh in an Oxford University Press book published in 2011 (Goldman, Marion S. 2011. Cultural Capital, Social Networks, and Violence at Rajneeshpuram. In Violence and New Religious Movements. Edited by James R. Lewis). Semitransgenic talk. 18:30, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Modrič → Modrič, Struga – I don't anticipate this being particularly controversial, but this article is currently at DYK and probably shouldn't be moved just yet anyway. There's no indication that this is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC versus Modrič, Laško and Modrič, Slovenska Bistrica in Slovenia, though surely this is the best written article of the three at this time. Google is really no help, with Luka Modrić dominating search results even with the right diacritic, but I think it's still fair to suppose there's no primary topic among the villages. BDD (talk) 17:28, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Richard Tuite → Murder of Stephanie Crowe – Naming the article after the crime rather than the perpetrator appears to be more in line with Wikipedia practice and with WP:CRIME. The Stephanie Crowe case was not just about Richard Tuite; it also included a highly notorious incident of false confession, described at False confession#Michael Crowe. The crime is far more notable than he is, based for example on Google hits (30,200 for "Stephanie Crowe" vs. 8,200 for "Richard Tuite"). Furthermore, since Tuite's conviction was overturned and he is currently being retried, it may violate BLP to have the article about this crime be under his name. MelanieN (talk) 16:41, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Tunnel Rats (2008 film) → Tunnel Rats (film) – There are no other films named "Tunnel Rats". 75.142.30.100 (talk) 15:20, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Comerford Theater → F.M. Kirby Center – Should this not be listed under its current name (F.M. Kirby Center) rather than a name that it has not been known by for decades? However, it is listed on the National Register of Historic Places under its former name, so perhaps there should be discussion. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 15:15, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – That's Entertainment (song) → That's Entertainment (The Jam song) – WP:AT 1. Recognizability - 3. Precision . --Relisted. --Mdann52talk to me! 13:48, 4 November 2013 (UTC)In ictu oculi (talk) 12:37, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Göta highway → Götaland road – this old road is so far from a highway as you can get... Esquilo (talk) 13:37, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Berlin Institute of Technology → Technische Universität Berlin – The Technische Universität Berlin finally decided on a corporate design (Aug 2013). Since there are many votes for a name change in the talk-page and no (new) oppose comments I'd like to request a move. Some of arguments for a move are:* The naming tradition of the university in (almost) all it's publications (books, papers, etc.) is in the german variant. See this english written book.* The internal handle is Technische Universität Berlin. TUB german-english guide.* The Wikipedia article itself uses most often the german writing Technische Universität Berlin.* As in previous comments provided, the google search results for the german naming are much higher.* Follow the RWTH Aachen wikipedia naming (as a branding), and also, the naming of TU Darmstadt and their discussion about the namingI'm happy to discuss opposing votes. However, for the internal voting system do not forget to actually support this request. Hopefully with even better arguments!--Relisted. --Mdann52talk to me! 13:35, 4 November 2013 (UTC) Relisted. Favonian (talk) 15:09, 22 October 2013 (UTC). 2602:304:56B5:3D9:558F:BB3B:C55A:B315 (talk) 05:53, 8 October 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Delilah Rene → Delilah (radio personality) – or Delilah (radio host), though the former phrase seems more common on Wikipedia in general. Although natural disambiguation is generally a good idea, it's not usually applied to mononymous people. See Talk:Madonna (entertainer)#Requested move (May 2013) for a recent example of this. Checking the low hits from "delilah rene" -wikipedia confirms that this is not her WP:COMMONNAME. --Relisted. --Mdann52talk to me! 13:26, 4 November 2013 (UTC)--Relisted. — Amakuru (talk) 10:45, 21 October 2013 (UTC) BDD (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Dreamscape (chat) → VZones – VZones currently redirects to WorldsAway. While it is true that VZones is the current version of WorldsAway, this article covers VZones itself. However, it's currently named after one VZones world, Dreamscape. Since it contains information on the other VZones world, New Horizone, as well, it would make sense for this page to be renamed VZones. --Relisted.

- (Discuss) – List of Pokémon (650–) → List of Pokémon (650–718) – This list currently holds the Pokémon from numbers 650 to 718. Therefore this would be a more accurate title. If there are more Pokémon to be unveiled by Nintendo, the page could simply be moved to 719 or 720, but Wikipedia is not a crystal ball so "650-" is inappropriate. --Relisted.

- (Discuss) – Later Han Dynasty (Five Dynasties) → Later Han Dynasty – There is no need for this bulky of an article title. Yes, Eastern Han Dynasty is also commonly known as Later Han Dynasty, but we actually do not have a separate article for Eastern Han independent of the Han Dynasty article, nor is there likely to be one any time soon given the intertwined nature of the discussion in that article. As such, the disambiguation with Eastern Han — which is the only disambiguation necessary — can be easily handled with a disambiguation link on the top of the article. The current disambiguation only makes not only this article bulky, but makes all Category:Later Han Dynasty (Five Dynasties)-related categories unnecessarily bulky. --Relisted.

- (Discuss) – 1957 in literature → Literature in 1957 – The present title "1957 in literature" is nonsense - or at least doesn't mean what it's intended to mean. The article is clearly about literary events in 1957, not about how 1957 features in literature. I have already put in a plea to change the title format of the entire series "xxxx in literature" at Talk:Table of years in literature. --Relisted.

- (Discuss) – The Cascades → Cascades – Per WP:THE, titles should not start with articles, except for unusual conditions not met here: entries on this dab page are not uniquely named "The Cascades".

- (Discuss) – Tigon (hybrid) → Tigon – Filing this procedural request because the question of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC was not addressed during the move discussion above. Is Tigon (hybrid) the primary topic for the term tigon? If so, this article should be moved to the base term, with the disambiguation page Tigon moving to Tigon (disambiguation). --Relisted.

- (Discuss) – Regular number → 5-smooth numbers – This page discusses properties and uses of 5-smooth numbers, but pretends to describe an ostensibly common term "Regular number". The term "regular number" does not exist in modern English or mathematics. All the references of the article that contain the term "regular number" are about "sexagesimal regular numbers" in ancient Babylonian mathematics (which apparently used base-60 number system). Now these numbers are called 5-smooth. For any prime p, there is the set of p-smooth numbers, which has properties similar to those of the set of 5-smooth numbers. This article is about historical appearances of 5-smooth numbers under different names, their uses in music terminology and notation, and mathematical properties of the set of all 5-smooth numbers (which are not substantially different from the properties of the set of all p-smooth numbers for any prime p) --Relisted.

In the meantime, some people keep changing its transclusions on shape-only logos to {{PD-shape}}, a template that does not have logo-specific text and links. Hopefully, this rename would put a stop to them.Best regards,

- (Discuss) – Final Destination (film series) → Final Destination – Last year's request was too precise, especially for both the 2000 film and The Final Destination (2009). This time, we leave out the 2009 film and deal with just the film series and the 2000 film instead. Sounds good? Last year, the 2000 film may have greater numbers than the film series. However, in the last 90 days, the 2000 film is less viewed than the film series; same for this month (series, 2000 film). Google results show first film, fifth film, and upcoming sixth film in the first page. The film itself isn't as significant as the film series. In fact, the idea/story of characters escaping death and becoming dead in every film is more significant than specific characters escaping from the plane. Per WP:DABCONCEPT and WP:SIA, we can avoid creating a redundant disambiguation page by making the film series a general concept. Perhaps if "Final Destination (film)" doesn't sound good, how about Final Destination (2000 film)? --Relisted.

formerlysplit from A Nightmare on Elm Street (disambiguation)) is redundant to A Nightmare on Elm Street (franchise) is not the issue here. Also, the bigger issues here are the recognition of titles and primary topic criteria. In fact, the original 1984 film is not significant enough to top the significances of the 2010 remake and the franchise, despite high numbers. The fact that it is the VERY first film of the Freddy Kreuger franchise and is also Johnny Depp's mainstream debut doesn't make the original film more significant than others of the same name. Speaking of numbers, the stats of the 1984 film looks inconclusive: it must have included readers who didn't read the whole article and went to either the remake or the franchise of the same name. In the last 90 days, the 1984 film does top numbers of the franchise and the remake, but still inconclusive to me. Previously, based on WP:DABCONCEPT, the franchise itself would have been the broad concept and taken over 1984 film's current title, but readers opposed in Talk:A Nightmare on Elm Street#Requested move. Therefore, I requested a deletion review on the previously-deleted dabpage, and then the page had been undeleted. Then somehow, the dabpagebecameand the set index article coexist right now. This situation aside, the original film must be disambiguated because disambiguation makes titles easily recognizable. George Ho (talk) 04:07, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

When someone searches for "fries", I can't imagine they're likely to be looking for lamb testicles or rappelling techniques or Frisian languages. Maybe they want someone with the last name Fries--that can be taken care of with a hatnote at french fries. But they probably want French fries. So let's redirect this page there.

- (Discuss) – Nathan Sykes → Nathan Sykes (rugby league) – This RM2 is to undo a May RM1 which moved a rugby league player stub (37,000 Google hits) into the WP:PRIMARY name space owned by the lead singer of a boy band (11 million Google hits) on the grounds that the rugby stub is a standalone rugby stub, while the sizeable article on the boy band lead singer is folded into the band article The Wanted since he's never recorded solo. http://stats.grok.se/en/201309/Nathan%20Sykes shows that the day Hello magazine broke the news that "Ariana Grande & The Wanted's Nathan Sykes" were dating we managed to redirect 5,676 of the boy band's fans in a single day to the retired rugby player. The previous RM (where the closer had little choice but follow the !votes) was in opposition to WP:DAB which says in lead paragraph: "Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving the conflicts that arise when a single term is ambiguous—when it refers to more than one topic covered by Wikipedia. (A "topic covered by Wikipedia" is either the main subject of an article, or a minor subject covered by an article in addition to the article's main subject.)" Now this RM1 is being cited as precedent for doing similar to put another standalone stub on top of another Google-magnet band member. If this move is going to be cited as a precedent then either undo it or confirm it with a RM2 with wider participation and more stringent application of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and WP:DAB.

- (Discuss) – Military occupations → Military careers – It has been pointed out, most recently at the Talk:Soviet occupations#Requested move that "occupations" can refer to career paths or military operations, so it's especially confusing to discuss the former in a military context. We currently have articles Military occupation and Military occupations, along with the categories Category:Military occupation and Category:Military occupations (the former, at least, is against category naming conventions). I'd like to come up with a new name for this article which can be passed along to the corresponding category. I think Military careers is the best concise way of referring to the topic, but I'm not against a bit more wordiness for the sake of accuracy, such as Military careers and trades, Military careers and specializations, or even Military careers and occupations. I would support any reasonable alternative, for that matter.Either way, my intent is that Military occupations will redirect to Military occupation, and the category now called Category:Military occupation will become Category:Military occupations.

- (Discuss) – Tamarillo → Tree Tomato – The international English common name for this plant, in scientific literature and daily use, is "tree tomato", which follows from the Spanish common name "tomate de arbol". This makes sense because the plant is native to the Andes, where it is grown and consumed on a large scale. A few growers in New Zealand, where there is a ridiculously small acreage of tree tomatoes (like 100 hectares total?) are attempting to rename this fruit using a nonsense word ("tamarillo") that is a hybrid of Spanish and a word taken from the Maori language. This attempted renaming is expressly for the marketing purposes of this small group of growers. It's fine with me if the Kiwi growers want to call it a "tamarillo" for their marketing purposes, but the proper name, and the name that should be used here, is "tree tomato". Accordingly, the text of the article should be changed, and the article should be moved to "tree tomato". "Tamarillo" can then redirect to "tree tomato", and not the other way around, as is presently the case. 68.201.89.238 (talk) 15:35, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Directly elected mayor of Tower Hamlets → Mayor of Tower Hamlets – The civic mayor (now Council Speaker) post for Tower Hamlets is not notable enough have a separate article of its own. Take the Mayor of London that is just called "Mayor of London" as that is what it is commonly known by and no-one thinks of anyone but the holder of the post covering the whole of London (bar the City). There will be very few if any who think Mayor of London and then go oh you mean the Lord Mayor of London. It just doesn't happen. In the same way, in the same way as very few if any think of the old civic mayor or the now speaker of the council of Tower Hamlets when talking about out or searching for the Mayor of Tower Hamlets. Media do not refer to it in any other way other than the Mayor of Tower Hamlets except in a few minor and sparse instances. Creating a different title is a POV fork and is creating ambiguity where none existed before. The title should be just Mayor of Tower Hamlets as that is the least confusing, causing zero confusion if any at all and if there are any worries about confusion a simple one line, identical to the line stating Mayor of Tower Hamlets redirects here, which is already in existance. Also having 'Mayor of Tower Hamlets' redirect here as opposed to going to a disambiguation page makes the title Directly elected meaningless and the ambiguity arguments a figment only in the imagination of those advocating the Directly elected title. If such a Directly elected title was needed Mayor of Tower Hamlets would be a disambiguation page it clearly is not in this case. The reasoning for Directly elected title is just to try and avoid confusion where none exists and in doing so creates its own confusion. To undo the confusion which has been now created where none previously existed the title needs to drop the "directly elected". Sport and politics (talk) 10:20, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

Through all of the sources around, including Disney Channel, that is not the full title of the TV movie. I would just like to request for someone to revert a stupid move that someone did, and bring it back to the way it was before, because obviously it was the fine the way it is, and someone tried to ruin it for all of us, and that's just so disappointing.

- (Discuss) – Harry Chauvel → Harry Chauvel – per WP:COMMONNAME (a section of WP:TITLE), Wikipedia does not necessarily use the subject's "official" name as an article title; it prefers to use the name that is most frequently used to refer to the subject in English-language reliable sources. Per the essay Wikipedia:OFFICIALNAME#Valid use of official names, official names should only be used if they are actually the common name (refer WP:COMMONNAME) The subject of the article was overwhelmingly referred to Harry Chauvel in contemporary reliable sources. Searches on the Trove archive (shows most major Australian newspapers for the period of his life and career) result in ten times as many results for "Harry Chauvel" (5761) than "Henry Chauvel" (644) with other results being miniscule in comparison - "Henry George Chauvel" (70), "Henry G. Chauvel" (39)Nothing in the article titling policy disallows the use of a nickname or alternative name as long as it is a common name. Per reference 95 in the article, the subject requested to be referred to as Sir Harry when receiving his accolade. Hack (talk) 08:40, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Minor League Baseball → Minor league baseball – The article covers two things:, the general concept of "minor league baseball" (lower cased), and the organized body known as Minor League Baseball (upper cased) that contains most but not all minor leagues. As such the title should be decapitalized per WP:NCCAPS. I'd do this myself but the edit history has been mangled by cut-and-paste moves that need repairing, so discussion is warranted.

- (Discuss) – Template:Talkpage of redirect → ? – After another Wikipedian relayed to me the existence of this template, I looked at the name of the template, and thought that the name of this template is too long for the fact that it is applied to several talk pages. I think that this template should be moved over one of its shorter-named redirects, but I am not sure which one. Currently, there are four redirects towards this template that have shorter names than this template's current name: {{Redirected}}, {{Redirecttalk}}, {{Talkredirect}}, and {{Talkredirected}}. There might be a better option than any of these four; these are just the shorter-named ones that currently exist. Steel1943 (talk) 07:05, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Louis Martin (blessed) → Louis Martin (watchmaker) – Louis Martin (layman) is another possibility, and more representative of his claims to notability, but it's just not a very good disambiguator.

- (Discuss) – The Four Nations Tournament → Four Nations Tournament (semi-professional football) – I don't think we should have a 'The Four Nations Tournament' article as well as a disambiguation page at Four Nations Tournament. There are already various other Four Nations Tournament (xyz) articles. As a relatively minor soccer competition this clearly isn't the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, so it needs a suitable modifier.

- (Discuss) – Millennials → Millennial Generation – Request to move the name of the page from "Millennials" to "Millennial Generation" for the following reasons:(1) The word "Millennial" has other meaning(s) besides the name of a generation. The word is an adjective for "millennium": adj. (1.) of or pertaining to a millennium or the millennium. (2.) worthy or suggestive of the millennium. It's more descriptive to use "Millennial Generation" as the title of this page.(2) Only using "Millennials" without "Generation" doesn't support 3 out of 5 Wikipedia's page title goals of (a) Precision (b) Conciseness (c) Consistency(3) Using the phrase Millennial Generation describes what the page is talking about. Millennial Generation is used on many other Wikipedia pages. "Millennials" can be confused with other meanings and it is not descriptive.(4) There was no real consensus about the change to "Millennials". In fact, the first sentence of the Requested Move (above) says "Although Generation Y was the initial name given by commentators, it appears that "Millennial Generation" has currently more notability".(5) Out of seven (7) current generation articles on Wikipedia (see below) -- all of them except the Baby Boomers (and that could be debated too) -- have the word "generation" in the title. Why would the Millennials page be an exception? * Lost Generation* G.I. Generation * Silent Generation * Baby Boomers* Generation X* Millennials -- Currently in dispute to add the word "generation"* Generation Z(6) The word "Millennials" means INDIVIDUAL members of a generation. But the words "Millennial Generation" mean the group -- which is what this article is about.172.250.31.151 (talk) 18:02, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – The Amityville Horror (disambiguation) → List of Amityville Horror media – This is not properly a disambiguation page, because most of the entries on the list are partial title matches, which should be removed in accordance with the manual of style rules governing disambiguation pages. There is no suggestion that the various sequels are commonly known just as "A Nightmare on Elm Street" without a qualifier. Rather than eliminate them, and make the page less useful to readers interested in seeing a list of installments in the franchise, I propose to move this to a title appropriate to the existing contents of the page, and convert it from a disambiguation page to a list/set index article. bd2412 T 13:56, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Bangerz (album) → Bangerz – Yes, I am aware that a discussion was closed a little over a month ago, but my intention with this proposal is to have a better-populated discussion that just myself and the two additional editors we had last time. Anyways, as it stands, the plain title Bangerz redirects to The Bangerz, the logic behind which I question because they appear to be pretty obscure in comparison to a highly-anticipated project from a well-known mainstream celebrity. Miley's album has gotten 546,000 hits in the last three months, compared to a mere 3,300 for the group in the same time frame.Responding to In ictu oculi's opposition the last time around, in which he felt that the term was ambiguous because it was used for various other purposes on Google Books, none of those other topics appear notable enough to have Wikipedia articles written on them, or they would likely already have been created. Not to mention, I did a quick search for "Blurred Lines" on Google Books, and not one result in the first three pages referenced the song, but we didn't have an issue establishing a primary topic here on Wikipedia, did we? Secondly, I disagree with the suggestion of redirecting the plain title to the disambiguation for Bangers, because the spelling with a "z" is used in only two articles on the English Wikipedia, and I doubt that anyone looking for one of the other results would be using the improper spelling to get where they need to be.Long story short, I feel that this article is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of the term, and should be given the plain title. A hatnote would be added to the page for the few that are looking for The Bangerz, and everyone wins. My intention is not to be a pain about the matter, I just feel that the current setup isn't the optimal setup for our readers. --Relisted.
