Wikipedia:Requested moves
![]() | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared. |
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.
- A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
- 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 proposals
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 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 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 #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.
- Gigi Becali → George Becali — 'Gigi' is just a nick derived from 'George'. — diego_pmc (talk) 23:27, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- Tara Wilson (Boston Legal → Tara Wilson (Boston Legal) - I attempted to move this article from Tara Wilson myself, but mucked it up, and now I can't figure out how to fix it. There're also several actresses with this name, and I was attempting to add one of them, as her notability rose upon the birth of her child by Chris Noth. Alan (talk) 21:12, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- This is not controversial but, if another Tara Wilson is not created soon, it should be moved back to its original location. — AjaxSmack 01:30, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
- Avery Russell House, Farragut → Avery Russell House — There were two articles about this one house. Since there seems to be only one house by this name, the name of the town is not needed. — Orlady (talk) 03:37, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Incomplete and contested proposals
With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below.
- Blogger (service) → Blogger — Tried for hours, and i just cant, please help me? — Request made by Gaogier (Talk | contribs) 06:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Shouldn't Blogger redirect to Blog? People who keep a blog are usually called bloggers, so I think that would be more common than 1 particular Blog site. TJ Spyke 08:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have made page Blogger into a disambig. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Eh? I'm with User:TJ Spyke on this. Redirect Blogger to Blog, and use {{redirect}} at the top of the article for those looking for Blogger (service). No need to disambiguate when there's only two pages. Currently everyone looking for either page must make two clicks to reach their target. TJ's proposal means at least some folks will get there in one click. --DeLarge (talk) 10:47, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think it's uncontested that most people searching for "Blogger" are looking for "Blog" in the first place, but in either case the correct approach is definitely a hatnote rather than a dambig page. Chris Cunningham (talk) 11:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

- University of Wisconsin-Madison → University of Wisconsin–Madison — Added endash to title, just as in the first sentence of the article –Dream out loud (talk) 21:16, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I thought that the rule was not to use unexpected characters such as en-dashes instead of hyphens in standard article names. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, using endashes in article titles are perfectly fine as long as there is a redirect page with a hyphen available. See WP:DASH. –Dream out loud (talk) 05:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
- I thought that the rule was not to use unexpected characters such as en-dashes instead of hyphens in standard article names. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sweet Home Alabama (song) → Sweet Home Alabama — Unnecessary dab, latter redirects to former — -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 21:08, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Was originally a dab page to film & song, is the song the primary usage or should the dab be restored? Keith D (talk) 21:58, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Dab Certainly the song is the more common usage of the name. Either way, it is nonsense to have Sweet Home Alabama redirect to Sweet Home Alabama (song). -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 23:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have reverted page Sweet Home Alabama to the disambig. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:53, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Dab Certainly the song is the more common usage of the name. Either way, it is nonsense to have Sweet Home Alabama redirect to Sweet Home Alabama (song). -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 23:31, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

- Viceroys of Nova Scotia → List of Lieutenant Governors of Nova Scotia - Article was improperly moved by cut and paste in April 2007, with loss of edit history. A move back to former title has been under discussion here since July 2007. Three editors support the move back to the original title, one is opposed (the editor who undertook the cut and paste move) and one editor supports replacing the article with a succession box (which is a different issue). Posting an WP:RM tag on the article talk page has not generated additional discussion. I would suggest there is consensus to move the article, but at a minimum the edit history should be fixed. Skeezix1000 (talk) 19:10, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Harry Robertson (composer) → Harry Robertson — Harry Robertson currently redirects to Harry Robertson (composer). There is no need for the qualifier "(composer)" in the title of the article. The composer is already recognized as the main use of the word as shown by the fact that Harry Robertson redirects to Harry Robertson (composer) and not to any other article that could be known as "Harry Robertson". Neelix (talk) 02:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have changed page Harry Robertson from a redirect to a disambig. How specially notable was he? I had never heard of him. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:24, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike → 2007–08 Writers Guild of America strike — nonconsensus move based on previous discussion in Talk — Twigboy (talk) 05:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Orlando, Florida → Orlando —(Discuss)— The city is better known as Orlando , people don't say Florida at the end because everyone knows where it is . Even if you don't move it , I think that everytime someone types Orlando on Wikipedia it should automatically redirect to the city's page .—Lilgunner94 (talk) 6:15 PM, 10 January 2008 (EST)
- Invalid nomination. No discussion set up. Vegaswikian (talk) 23:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Validity of the nom aside, it goes against naming conventions so should fail. The redirect seems reasonable, along with an otheruses or such at Orlando, Florida.
- I have placed this under incomplete, because there is no discussion on the talk page, and it appears unlikely to pass anyway, due to WP:NC. If there is no discussion on the talk page within a week or so, I suggest removing from this section. The Evil Spartan (talk) 18:05, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions#RfC: Should titles of article on units of the form "X per Y" be singular or plural? - applies to several articles who cannot be moved without admin assistance.
- Note: Moved due to lack of clearly illustrated consensus at [Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions#RfC: Should titles of article on units of the form "X per Y" be singular or plural?]--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 21:50, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hmm, 4 independent editors vs. 1 (I know it's not a vote) indicated consensus to me. Ditto to the similar items below...Oli Filth(talk) 21:54, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Combined into a multi-page move request. Oli Filth(talk) 22:15, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Object in particular to Pounds per square inch which should be moved back to its earlier Pound-force per square inch version to distinguish these lbf/in² from the lb/in², also pounds per square inch but a different unit entirely, used in other contexts such as in ballistic coefficient with the normal pounds as units of mass. Gene Nygaard (talk)

- WYSK-FM → WWVB-FM — Page WWVB-FM was simply created and it's former location, WYSK-FM, was redirected. This, of course, was not a standard page move. The page history for WYSK-FM remains. If the histories could be "merged" (for lack of a better term) correctly is the only thing necessary here. Thanks. — NeutralHomer T:C 18:13, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- I.e. a cut-and-paste needs a histmerge. But, was radio station WYSK-FM renamed as WWVB-FM, or not? WWVB-FM's right-side info box says that WYSK is a sister station of WWVB. Someone please edit in full details of the relationships between radio stations WYSK and WYSK-FM and WWVB-FM. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- There is no licensed station currently called "WWVB-FM" (or, "WWVB" for that matter). A format change is evident from the station's website, but I can't find any proof of a callsign change. JPG-GR (talk) 02:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- I better leave this to someone who knows more than me about the history of USA local radio stations. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- The FCC database shows a callsign change here so the page histories should be merged. RobDe68 (talk) 06:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- I requested a speedy delete history merge to take care of this obvious cut/paste move.RobDe68 (talk) 21:25, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Done- History merge was completed by an administrator. RobDe68 (talk) 02:00, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

- M. J. Cole → MJ Cole — All music by the artist was released using the form "MJ Cole" (e.g. the album Sincere) — robwingfield «T•C» 00:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Is this valid? I thought that the rule is to write names in normal format and not in unusual formats chosen for advertizing. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:11, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- MVK ZRt. → MVK Zrt. —(Discuss)— When I created the page, the company was officially called MVK ZRt. which was grammatically incorrect but since it was registered by this name, I couldn't change it. Now it was changed to the grammatically correct version and it would be good to rename the article. (I couldn't do it because there is a redirect.) —– Alensha talk 14:32, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
- Du’a Khalil Aswad → 2007 stoning of Du'a Kahil Aswad —(Discuss)— Article is not a biographical article about Aswad herself, but is about the circumstances surrounding her death. —— pd_THOR | =/\= | 20:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Hirohito → Emperor Shōwa —(Discuss)— The move proposal has been initiated as a RFC, just notifying here. --Francis Schonken (talk) 09:35, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- Religion in ancient Rome → Roman polytheism —(Discuss)— Roman polytheism is more accurate and not overly generic —71.105.241.177 (talk) 17:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Sudden Ionospheric Disturbance to Sudden ionospheric disturbance, to reflect capitalisation in the article text itself. I am fairly certain that I am responsible for it being at the wrong title, but I am not sure how, and I know I can't do anything about it. Jdcooper (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- If this page is about a particular type of event in the ionosphere, rather than all sorts of sudden ionospheric disturbance, leave the name as capitals? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- The beginning uses "a sudden ionospheric disturbance" and shows why this should not be capitalised. It never is in carefully edited texts. --Espoo (talk) 09:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- If this page is about a particular type of event in the ionosphere, rather than all sorts of sudden ionospheric disturbance, leave the name as capitals? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Random access memory → Random Access Memory — Capitalization. RAM, the abbreviation of "Random Access Memory" remains capitalized at all times. — CZMQFRG (talk) 18:34, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Google search found many uses with all lowercase. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- It is never capitalised in carefully edited texts nor in dictionaries (see here, but most computer experts are not experts on spelling and many are confused by the capitals in the acronym. There is only one Internet (that spans the globe), but not only one RAM or kind of RAM, which means it's a common noun, not a proper noun. --Espoo (talk) 09:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
- Republic of Lakotah → Lakotah —(Discuss)— Supporters of the state have split into two factions; "Republic of Lakotah" refers to only one faction. The other calls itself "Lakotah Oyate". "Lakotah" is currently a redirect to "Lakota", which is a DAB. —Stlemur (talk) 14:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Lakotah Oyate was a redirect to Lakota: I have redirected it to Republic of Lakotah. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Comment': I created Lakotah Oyate in anticipation of the move being approved
- Lakotah Oyate was a redirect to Lakota: I have redirected it to Republic of Lakotah. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 19:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Tarja Turunen → Tarja — The singer Tarja Turunen refers to herself as Tarja. Tarja is her universally recognized stage name (see her logo, which says only Tarja, entry on musicbrainz, which lists her albums under name "Tarja"). The only obstacle to move is the redirect page with two edits. — Monk (talk) 20:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
- Is she much more noteworthy than the other meanings listed under Tarja (disambiguation)? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- Are there any cases of WP articles using only a very common first name as the article name? There are thousands of people called "Tarja" in Finland. The only way i could imagine accepting this RM is a move to Tarja (singer). --Espoo (talk) 14:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know how common this name is, but she uses only her first name as address, and most non-Finnish people recognize "Tarja" as being only her first name. As I see, the move is contested, so I have created place for discussion at Talk:Tarja Turunen page. You're welcome there. --Monk (talk) 21:34, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Why did you ignore the complete opposition on Talk:Tarja_Turunen#Requested_move and the open state of this move request here by making Tarja redirect to what no one else but you wants?! --Espoo (talk) 07:50, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know how common this name is, but she uses only her first name as address, and most non-Finnish people recognize "Tarja" as being only her first name.

- Early Modern Irish → Classical Gaelic —(Discuss)— Both names seem to be frequently used in literature and by major relevant institutions. However only one of them is appropriate for the subject matter and is not crippled by an inappropriate nationalistic/ethnic association. Early Modern Irish is not an appropriate name for a form of language which was used extensively by non-Irish Gaels. Gaelic is the correct English rendering of the native name used by both Scots(Gàidhlig) and Irish(Gaeilge) to refer to their languages and is the correct English rendering of "Gaoidhealg" the contemporary, native, term used within Classical Gaelic/Early Modern Irish to refer to itself. Classical Gaelic is, unlike Early Modern Irish, unambiguous and ethnically, geographically and politically neutral and covers both Scottish and Irish languages. ——Angr If you've written a quality article... 13:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC) (Actually requested by —siarach (talk) 12:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

- Jaime Sommers (The Bionic Woman) → Jamie Sommers (The Bionic Woman) —(Discuss)— name is apparently misspelled —18:17, 18 January 2008 (UTC)Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions ·
- Kenneth I of Scotland → Kenneth MacAlpin —(Discuss)— Current name is technically inaccurate and outdated. There appears to be support for the move and the figure is famous enough by the suggested name to warrant an exception to WP's conventions. —Srnec (talk) 16:57, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Stow, Scottish Borders → Stow of Wedale —(Discuss)— As someone who encounters this place a lot in history books, I only ever come across it as Stow of Wedale, though I'm sure locals probably just call it Stow. Current name is a slightly clumsy way to disambiguate a place that doesn't need disambiguating, as there is only one Stow of Wedale. —Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 11:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC) Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 11:25, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Las Vegas, Nevada → Las Vegas —(Discuss)— Las Vegas is too big and too well known for any need to add Nevada to the title. —199.125.109.135 (talk) 07:09, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Girl Guides → Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting —(Discuss)— The new title would more accurately reflect the article's subject. The current title, Girl Guides, is too similar to the article Girl Guide and is confusing. I additionally propose that the page Girl Guides redirects to Girl Guide and Girl Scout and that pages are created called Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting respectively, that redirect to this article. —Kingbird (talk) 05:58, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- List of Mangalore people → List of people from Dakshina Kannada and Udupi —(Discuss)— The list of people in the article are from the Tulunadu region comprising Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts of Karnataka, India and are not necessarily from Mangalore City —Hari (talk) 05:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Watt-hour → Kilowatt hour —(Discuss)— Watt-hour is not a normally used unit, kilowatt hour is however the normally used unit (kWh), along with Megawatt hour (MWh) and other larger prefixes. —199.125.109.135 (talk) 05:23, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Levon V Lusignan of Armenia → Leo V of Armenia —(Discuss)— "Levon" is not typical English. "Lusignan" is not typical form for monarchs at Wikipedia. —Srnec (talk) 04:38, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- New Aeon English Qabala → Cipher 6 —(Discuss)— Every part of the current title seems POV or false. "New Aeon" endorses a disputed interpretation of the Book of the Law (more than one, in fact, and people who care might check what Cipher 6 says about this part of the name). You can use it for any Latin alphabet language, not just English. (It has no values for accents and the like, but then Hebrew Gematria has no vowels.) And as the article notes, "Qabala" includes more than a method of assigning numeric values to letters (technically called gematria or a cipher). —Dan (talk) 03:31, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Lamba (tribe) → Lamba —(Discuss)— The term "tribe" as used by Westerners to describe African ethnic groups is inappropriate. It connotes "primitive" and other pejorative racial ideas. This is true in spite of the fact that some Africans continue to use the word "tribe" when communicating in English, which is not their mother tongue. They are using it in their own context without the "pejorative" baggage that the word has when used by Westerners. The complete explanation is at: 'Talking About Tribe," <http://www.africaaction.org/bp/ethall.htm>. —Kjmorris (talk) 00:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Football in the Republic of Ireland → Soccer in the Republic of Ireland —(Discuss)— Gnevin says that the use of "football" is ambigious and it should be moved. —hbdragon88 (talk) 00:14, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Serb clans → Plemena —(Discuss)— Both politically and grammatically more correct name. —Rasho 22:34, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Speak My Mind (album) → Speak My Mind —(Discuss)— The latter is a protected redirect to Beyoncé Knowles, a result of the article's deletion in last February as unsourced. The former is the current version, created less than a month ago, and does have a source. I think that it is acceptable, and that it should be moved to its proper name, as the disambiguation in the title is redundant. —Waltham, The Duke of 16:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories → Tuktoyaktuk —(Discuss)— This community is the only Tuktoyaktuk in the world. Tuktoyaktuk already redirects here. The move is supported by the Canadian naming conventions, and is in keeping with recent moves of other small Canadian settlements with unquestionably unique names (e.g. Flin Flon, Iqaluit) to undisambiguated titles. —Skeezix1000 (talk) 15:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Pyotr Semenov-Tyan-Shansky → Pyotr Semyonov-Tyan-Shansky —(Discuss)— Translitteration of Пётр Семёнов-Тян-Шанский —Fransvannes (talk) 14:30, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- ?uestlove → Questlove —(Discuss)— This person's name is not prounced as "Question mark estlove", it's prounced as "Questlove". The current name violates WP:MOS, which says not to do odd spellings just because that is what the subject prefers (henc why we have Pink (singer)), not "P!nk", or Korn instead of "KoЯn". "Questlove" is both how his stagename is pronounced anyways and complies with our naming policies. —TJ Spyke 06:04, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- Chiang Nan → Henry Liu —(Discuss)— In English, commonly known by real name, not Chinese pen name. Dab page Henry Liu now has only two items remaining due to recent AfD, and he is much more prominent than the other one, Henry Liu (civil engineer). —cab (talk) 02:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- The Gambia → Gambia —(Discuss)— See talk page. —Snocrates 00:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- 300-page iPhone bill → iPhone bill video —(Discuss)— The current title is really misleading and, well, quite dull, but my requested one is just an example, somebody will surely come up with something better ... but "300-page iPhone bill" is really strange name. —Have a nice day.

- Hyde Park → Hyde Park (disambiguation) & Hyde Park, London → Hyde Park —(Discuss)— the London park of this name is by far the most commonly referred to thing. Golden Graham (talk) 22:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- Ahmed Arabi → ? —(Discuss)— As discussed above; this may well be controversial, but I have no opinion between this and Arabi Pasha, there being a balance between simplicity and commonness. There are also other possibilities. Please discuss. —Septentrionalis PMAnderson 21:50, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
- List of professional athletes convicted of crimes → List of professional sportspeople convicted of crimes —(Discuss)— Requesting move as sportspeople are more of a wider term and it would be more easier for others to add other people from other non-athletic sport in —Willirennen (talk) 18:41, 1 January 2008 (UTC). Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached --Lox (t,c) 19:59, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

- Hutchinson Island, Florida → Hutchinson Island —(Discuss)— There is no need to add Florida and it has caused questions whether Florida should be set off by commas or put in parentheses. There are intervening redirects, so it must be done by an administrator. clariosophic (talk) 19:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Does the settlement naming convention apply? If so, then this needs a full discussion. If this is renamed, then Hutchinson Island South, Florida probably needs to be considered for renaming. Vegaswikian (talk) 03:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

- Japanophile → Japanophilia —(Discuss)— We name the article after the topic that it discusses. And what it discusses is Japanophilia. Because that's what all of the sources that it is based upon are discussing. They aren't discussing a Japanophile. They are discussing the phenomenon of Japanophilia.The previous is a quote from User:Jonathan de Boyne Pollard, who wishes the article moved to "Japanophilia". —Endroit (talk) 03:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- Note: The status quo was at Japanophile, but somebody moved it unilaterally to Japanophilia already.--Endroit (talk) 04:15, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
- ELFA (Electronics) → ELFA AB —(Discuss)— ELFA AB is the correct name of the electronics company, but ELFA AB currently redirects to ELFA, which is a disambiguation page. Current page Elfa should be renamed Elfa International AB (correct name of the shelving company), while moving disambiguation page ELFA to Elfa. In short:
- i105FM → i102-104FM — the radio station i105FM has changed its name to i102-104FM — Donegal92 (talk) 18:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Rapid transit → Metro —(Discuss)— Metro is the more commonly used term for this subject —Kildor (talk) 12:46, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Pasqualina Lehnert → Pascalina Lehnert- The alleged name of the Lady: "Pasqualina" is wrong, which may confuse future Wikipedia searches. In English, German and Italian her name is: Pascalina not Pasqualina. Three sources:
- Her own authobiography reads: Pascalina Lehnert, Ich durfte Ihm Dienen, Naumann, Würzburg, Germany, 1982;
- The source in the material itself has the name misspelled. It should read: Murphy, Paul I. and Arlington, R. Rene Arlington (1983) La Popessa: The Controversial Biography of Sister Pascalina, the Most Powerful Woman in Vatican History. New York: Warner Books Inc. ISBN 0-446-51258-3.

- Alchfrith of Deira → Alhfrith of Deira —(Discuss)— This is the usual spelling in secondary sources; see talk page. —Mike Christie (talk) 02:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Taking Tiger Mountain By Strategy (album) → Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) — Discuss — Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) is the correct album title. Moving the article to this title would also eliminate the need to use the "(album)" parenthetical. — Pele Merengue (talk) 23:59, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Religious violence in India → Communal violence in India —(Discuss)— I suggest a move to Communal violence in India, which is a more accurate descriptions. Many of these conflicts are not really religious in character, but clashes between communities. Religious/ethnic/caste lines often intersect, and many communal conflicts are have both religious and other aspects. —Soman (talk) 21:38, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Matilda (character) → Matilda Wormwood —(Discuss)— Avoid using parenthesis in the title when possible and in this case the use of parenthesis is not needed. Chantessy 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC) — Chantessy 18:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

- Stratford Festival of Canada → Stratford Shakespeare Festival —(Discuss)— The festival has officially adopted a new name —Dhodges (talk) 14:57, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Therion (band) → Therion —(Discuss)— I request for this move and for move Therion→Therion (disambiguation). The major topic of Therion, now DAB page, is article about band. Visor (talk) 14:06, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Move navigational lists to portal namespace (sorry for unusual format of entry on this page, but since this proposal discusses multiple page moves (cross-namespace) I thought best to notify here; I suppose discussion would be centered at Wikipedia talk:Move navigational lists to portal namespace) --Francis Schonken (talk) 13:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Best: The Greatest Hits of S Club 7 → Best - The Greatest Hits of S Club 7 — Discuss — Album cover doesn't contain a colon or a hyphen, so I think the proper naming conventions would be to use a hyphen. — - ǀ Mikay ǀ 10:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Steve Smith pages:
- Steve Smith (ice hockey) → Steve Smith (Canadian-born ice hockey player) —(Discuss)— Shorten disambiguation. See talk page. —Snocrates 06:40, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- James Stephen Smith → Steve Smith (British-born ice hockey player) —(Discuss)— Shorten disambiguation. See talk page. —Snocrates 06:33, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- I think the "Steve Smith" proposals above may require some sort of admin attention. Someone has moved the talk pages around during the formal proposal discussion, and now the talk pages for each have been reversed, I think. The talk pages therefore propose the incorrect name change, because the proposals for each have been reversed. If you get confused navigating these, don't be surprised. It would be helpful if an admin could move them back to where they were at the start of the proposal. Snocrates 21:56, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

- Buddha (general) → any of the options listed at Buddha (general)#Table of options — Discuss — This article has been posted here last fall, and just after the article was moved to "Buddha (general)", I found the listing here and brought up some reasons against the move. Subsequently, we gathered many more facts in a a long constructive process, and we feel we're ready now to ask everyone to vote on this again. —— Sebastian 05:07, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- PFC Metalurg Zaporozhye → FC Metalurh Zaporizhya —(Discuss)— According to WP:NC#Sports_team, the name is found to be ambiguous, and therefore "the name most commonly used by the English-language media should be used" —Riurik(discuss) 01:15, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

- Lewis → Lewis, Outer Hebrides —(Discuss)— The northern part of the largest island of the Outer Hebrides should not be the primary for this name. The same reason for Harris too, the southern part of the same island. – Axman (☏) 15:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Burness → Burness (Orkney) — To allow for the creation of disambiguation page for Burness and new article regarding the Scottish law firm with this name — Johnymildew (talk) 11:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Current naming conventions would place article at Burness, Orkney. Keith D (talk) 11:22, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Moving in order to comply with the naming convention is fine, but Johnny Mildew's aim can be achieved by creating Burness (disambiguation) and adding otheruses to the existing page. Until there's an article for the law firm he mentions, it's all rather moot. --AndrewHowse (talk) 14:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino Mancini → Mancini (Brazilian footballer) —(Discuss)— His real name is Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino, but his artist name is Mancini, likes Pato, Kaka, Dida, sometimes they would incorrectly became Nelson Dida, Alexandre Pato and Ricky Kaka, thus Alessandro Mancini and Amantino Mancini were "common" name, but actually wrong. So i suggest to move to Mancini (Brazilian footballer). —Matthew_hk tc 10:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
- Chief Minister of Sabah → List of Chief Ministers of Sabah —(Discuss)— This is just a table of names and years. This article either needs to be rewritten in prose or needs to be moved to a list instead of an article. —- Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 09:42, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

- In My Wildest Dreams (Kenny Chesney album) → In My Wildest Dreams —(Discuss)— The album is the only article using this title, so it should be at the plain title, which is currently an unnecessary disambiguation page. —ShelfSkewed Talk 15:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- John Glover Roberts, Jr. → ? —(Discuss)— I have no opinion of this matter. The only opinion that I hold is using Roberts' full name with the junior status and his middle name is a textbook violation of WP:NC(CN). I've never ever heard this name before. Newspapers and such always call him "John Roberts" and back before the Chief Justice time this article was titled John G. Roberts to disambiguate; then it was changed back to John Roberts with a (disambiguation) page for other Roberts. So. I'm proposing John Roberts (judge), John G. Roberts, or back to the old John Roberts. You decide! —hbdragon88 (talk) 03:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

- Voluntary caregiver → carer —(Discuss)— Carer is the term used and chosen by carers themselves and is used in national and international carers organisations e.g. 'Carers UK' 'Eurocarers'. Carers have a right to call themselves the name they prefer. Voluntary caregiver is a serious misnomer, as many unpaid carers became so on an involuntary basis due to the illness or disability of a close relative, not by choice. Voluntary caregiver is a clumsy modern coinage. Carer has the benefit of being simple clear english. The word 'carer' is used in legislation. The word carer goes back to at least the sixteenth century. It is accepted by US dictionaries such as Encarta® World English Dictionary [North American Edition]. Its' use reduces confusion as in the US a number of terms are in regular use including caregiver, caretaker, carer etc. —Excalibur (talk) 09:56, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
- List of municipalities in Wallonia → List of municipalities of the Walloon Region —(Discuss)— More correct name. Wallonia and Walloon Region are two different things, much like Flanders and Flemish Region, but there is some walloon POV pushing here —Bradipus (talk) 12:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
