Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

2013 International child pornography investigation (currently a redirect to Project Spade) → Operation Spade (currently a redirect instead to Project Spade) (move · discuss) – The current name is inconsistent with naming conventions for law enforcement operations of this nature once the name of the operation is known, nor is the current name concise. See (WP:CONCISE, WP:CONSISTENT. eximo (talk) 04:15, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
MRT Line 6 (Dhaka Metro Rail) (currently a redirect to MRT Line 6) → MRT Line 6 (move) – Currently there is no other metro line named MRT Line 6. The disambiguation is unnecessary here. Mehedi Abedin 22:40, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Hamgyeong Line (currently a redirect to Hamgyong line) → Hamgyŏng Line (currently a redirect instead to Hamgyong line) (move · discuss) – WP:NCKO If there is no established English spelling, then Revised Romanization should be used for South Korean names and McCune–Reischauer for North Korean and pre-1945 Korean names.. This is a pre-1945 Korean name, and the current place exists in North Korea so it's unlikely the common name would be the South Korean Revised Romanization of Korean system. NK uses a modified version of McCune Reischauer, and I'm suggesting the McCune Reischauer spelling. toobigtokale (talk) 08:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comte Jules Raphaël Bethenod de Montbressieux → Raph (racing driver) (currently a redirect back to Comte Jules Raphaël Bethenod de Montbressieux) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME is "Raph", disambiguate as per WP:NCSP Ortizesp (talk) 12:24, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Milkor (Pty) Ltd (currently a redirect to Milkor) → Milkor (move · discuss) – Remove legal status suffixes per WP:NCCORP. Hemmers (talk) 16:21, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Fribourg railway station (currently a redirect to Fribourg/Freiburg railway station) → Fribourg/Freiburg railway station (move · discuss) – use of the official naming of this station because Fribourg is a bilingual city Swiss512 (talk) 17:05, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
2014 Oso mudslide (currently a redirect to 2014 Oso landslide) → 2014 Oso landslide (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME states the term or name most typically used in reliable sources is generally preferred.

Reliable sources consistently call it either the "Oso landslide" or "Oso slide". "Oso mudslide" is occasionally used but more rare.

Listing this at uncontroversial technical requests so as to hopefully get this moved today, the 10-year anniversary of the event. I'm unable to boldly move the page myself. There was a previous no-consensus requested move in 2018, however that request focused on the technical/scientific nature of the name. Oppose voters indicated they would vote to move if presented with a WP:COMMONNAME argument. This should be an uncontroversial move given the below sources.

The newly dedicated 10-year memorial seems to be known as the "Oso Landslide Memorial" and/or the "Oso Slide Memorial". Not "Mudslide".

The government investigation was known as "The SR 530 Landslide Commission".

Unsure if this event was commonly known as a "mudslide" in 2014, but usage in reliable sources has clearly shifted to "Landslide" and/or "Slide" in regional and national reliable sources. PK-WIKI (talk) 17:36, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

HRE Mazowsze Serce Polski (currently a redirect to Mazowsze Serce Polski) → Mazowsze Serce Polski (move · discuss) – Team name for 2024. Currently a redirect Seacactus 13 (talk) 18:16, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dinocephalosauridae (currently a redirect to Trachelosauridae) → Trachelosauridae (move · discuss) – Per Special:Permalink/1215071889#Requested move 15 March 2024. Killarnee (talk) 22:53, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Kendall D. Garff (currently a redirect to Ken Garff) → Ken Garff (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME. Similar to the examples cited at WP:COMMONNAME, this businessman is far more well-known by "Ken Garff" than "Kendall D. Garff". The article references almost exclusively refer to him as "Ken". Jodapop (talk) 22:57, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Çıpçıq (currently a redirect to Chepchugi) → Chepchugi (move · discuss) – Per WP:RUSPLACE, this should follow the Russian transliteration, not Tatar. Mellk (talk) 01:50, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Kasthuri (TV channel) (currently a redirect to Kasthuri TV) → Kasthuri TV (move · discuss) – Actual name per [1] and [2]. DareshMohan (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Airtel Bangladesh → Airtel (Bangladesh) (currently a redirect back to Airtel Bangladesh) (move · discuss) – In 2016, Airtel Bangladesh Ltd. was merged into Robi Axiata Ltd. Airtel is currently a licensed brand of Robi Axiata Ltd. So, this page should use the requested title. ~ Farhan Snigdho ^(message) 03:43, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
User:Ihateneo/Art (Tyla song) (currently a redirect to Art (song)) → Art (Tyla song) (currently a redirect instead to Art (song)) (move · discuss) – Make way for an article ihateneo (talk) 05:04, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Makwana (Koli clan) is invalid. Must create Makwana (Koli clan) before requesting that it be moved to Makwana.– Disruptively moved in violation of WP:CASTE to the current title by a now blocked editor, the disamb is unnecessary and POV. Gotitbro (talk) 02:22, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Świątek → Świątek (disambiguation) (move · discuss) – Świątek should be redirected to Iga Świątek, and therefore the current disambiguation renamed, as I believe the tennis player is the primary topic. See 1) WikiNav stats, which show almost 100% of outgoing clicks going to Iga Świątek, and 2) pageview analysis for all articles in the disambig, which consistently shows Iga Świątek as most viewed. Iiii I I I (talk) 07:21, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This isn't a disambiguation page, it's page about the name. I doubt the tennis player's longterm significance exceeds that of the name itself, some of those listed being centuries old. There is also generally a very high bar for surname only redirects. — Amakuru (talk) 07:26, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I didn't notice it was a surname template and not a disambig template (or realize those two types are treated differently). Is there a project page that lists the criteria for surname only redirects? --Iiii I I I (talk) 07:59, 16 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. Definitely not uncontroversial. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:21, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Pedro Morales Torres → Pedro Morales (football manager) (currently a redirect back to Pedro Morales Torres) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME is "Pedro Morales" without maternal surname, dab as per WP:NCSP Ortizesp (talk) 02:52, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The present title appears in some sources, or satisfies WP:NATURALDIS, and is also the Spanish Wikipedia's title for him. I don't think this is Uncontroversial. — Amakuru (talk) 01:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Spanish Wiki doesn't have the same rules re COMMONNAME/NATURAL. The present name is hardly ever used in the full form, it's almost always just Pedro Morales. Happy to open a discussion instead. Ortizesp (talk) 13:51, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Emmasofia → Psynapse (currently a redirect instead to List of Inhumans) (move · discuss) – The organization changed its name. —Of the universe (say hello) 01:06, 19 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any sources indicating this change? We need reliable sources that are independent of the subject which use the new name in the body text, ideally. You can check WP:NAMECHANGES for more info on what to look for. ASUKITE 15:33, 20 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Psynapse was originally known as EmmaSofia but recently changed its name" (Blossom Analysis). Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 04:53, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There aren't a huge number of independent sources about this organisation, and those that I can see seem to be mostly news articles written at the time it was set up in 2015. For example [3][4][5]. The sources in the article generally don't mention it as well. As such, I'm not convinced it even meets WP:GNG, and even if it does, the WP:NAMECHANGES bar isn't met, as no secondary sources use the new name. As a final point, the name Psynapse currently points to a Marvel character, and I think that might be at least as much of a contender for primary topic as the organisation. — Amakuru (talk) 07:48, 21 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
London Institute of Banking & Finance → LIBF (currently a redirect instead to Foggia Gino Lisa Airport) (move · discuss) – The subject of the page has changed its name. Racoonlemonade (talk) 11:31, 22 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think is a good enough use for the instance of an MOS:ACRONYM plus if I'm understanding the sources correctly, the airport redirect should be the propper redirect. microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 02:16, 23 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
