Wikipedia:Requested moves

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 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 re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

• D-War (film) → D-War — Latter redirects to the former. — PC78 (talk) 02:06, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

• RZA (rapper) → RZA (hip hop artist) — Recently renamed from RZA to distinguish it from Religious Zionists of America—although he does indeed rap, RZA has a near-legendary status in the hip hop world as a producer. The effect is not quite analogous to an article entitled Elvis Presley (guitarist), but does hit rather a clanging wrong note (unlike the subject's productions). — 86.44.6.14 (talk) 02:10, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

• Cage Kennylz → Cage (hip hop artist) — Cage Kennylz is the long form of a pseudonym. it is referenced in song and in such things as his myspace URL, but is not the name he performs under, doesn't appear on his record covers, concert bills, etc. The long form is easily obscure enough not to be useful on the disamb page for Cage. See talk for URL to covers etc., and damn these move templates. Cage raps and produces, hence (hip hop artist) rather than (rapper) is preferred, but no biggie in this case. — 86.44.6.14 (talk) 02:10, 14 March 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. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

• Monster Park → Candlestick Park — Monster's sponsorship for the Park has expired, name has reverted to Candlestick — -- JT^Holla! 18:53, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Contested (on that page by User:Gateman1997), since it doesn't officially change name back to "Candlestick Park" until June. Arguably, though, the page should never have been moved from "Candlestick Park", since that is apparently what it is locally known as. Sam Staton (talk) 19:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Km3net → KM3NeT — KM3NeT currently redirects to Km3net. The official capitalization should be KM3NeT according to http://www.km3net.org/, but this is currently a redirect page. — Teply (talk) 20:17, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
  • If it's pronounced "Kay Emm Three Net" like it looks I believe the best target would be KM3Net which I can find by searching the internet ([1], [2], [3]). The suggested target does not follow Wikipedia:Manual of Style (trademarks), and I see no reason to justify the capital "T". Iamaleopard (talk) 21:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Long Island Crossing → Long Island Sound link —(Discuss)— I created Long Island Sound link being unaware that an article on this subject already existed at Long Island Crossing. My sources on Google show that "Long Island Crossing" is sometimes used, but that title seems ambiguous to me and should be replaced by Long Island Sound link (my choice), Long Island Cross Sound Link (the exact term used in the current proposal), or something similar to indicate that the Long Island Sound is being crossed (as oppposed to, say, the Cross Island Parkway, where the island itself is being crossed. —Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC) Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Martin de Goiti → Martín de Goiti -(move)—(Discuss)- Martin de Goiti is a Spanish not a Filipino, his name should be in correct Spanish name that is Martín de Goiti.--Joseph Solis in Australia (talk) 10:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Incomplete (no discussion area created). A Google Book search shows "Martin" > "Martín" (378 to 81), and History of the Philippine Islands - 1521 to the Beginning of the XVII century, the English language reference cited in article, also uses "Martin". Iamaleopard (talk) 21:53, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• 9/11 conspiracy theories → September 11, 2001 attacks conspiracy theories — Per main article. — -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 01:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I would suggest September 11, 2001 conspiracy theories 199.125.109.107 (talk) 05:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Including "attacks" is clearer. Other things happened on that day also. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:13, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Has this been discussed on the article's talk page? A rename solely for conformity's sake is not necessarily justified. "9/11 conspiracy theories" is concise and a common name, whereas the proposed rename is neither. Robert K S (talk) 17:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • lacking any hard policy conflicts, i really don't see anything wrong with the current title. --emerson7 22:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Well I can think of at least one conflict. Whatever rationale was given for naming the main article "September 11, 2001 attacks" would be the same as naming this "September 11, 2001 attacks conspiracy theories." -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 04:21, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Fes, Morocco → Fes — Fes redirects to Fes, Morocco — ANONYMOUSPUSSY 10:35, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
  • That would leave it with just capitalisation to distinguish it from FES Keith D (talk)
    • That's why there's a "other uses" template at the header. --ANONYMOUSPUSSY 17:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
      • Fes should be a redirect to FES Keith D (talk) 20:42, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
        • But most articles redirecting to "Fes" are about the city. --ANONYMOUSPUSSY 06:33, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• The Shining (novel) → The Shining - I ahve already moved the original article from The Shining to Shining (disambiguation). The novel and 1980 movie are the main use of the word shining, and the novel is the source of it, so I think the novel should be located at The Shining. I will put a redirect at Shining for the moemnt, since I cannot move the novel to the page myself. --Plasma Twa 2 (talk) 19:16, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
  • The main usage of "shining" is as the present participle and gerund of the verb "to shine": "the sun was shining."; "shining a torch round the garden scared the prowler off.". To me and likely many other people, The Shining (novel) is merely yet another routine novel and of little interest. May as well move Shining (disambiguation) back to Shining. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:28, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I think the way it is now is how it should be. "The Shining" could mean a lot of different things and should go to the dab page. While it's true the novel was first, I'm sure many more people saw the movie than read the book and thus will be looking for the movie over the book. Or not - we don't know it's not clear. Best to go to the dab page. Middle Aged (talk) 14:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
  • I have moved Shining (disambiguation) to Shining. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 14:48, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Agreed with the above as well. This issue seems to be settled. Shall we delist this proposal? Parsecboy (talk) 18:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Other proposals

13 March 2008

• Victimless crime (political philosophy) → Victimless crime —(Discuss)— There really is no usage of the term "victimless crime" except in a legal (and by extension political) context. The blurb formerly at Victimless crime which I've merged into this article had no reason to exist separately. —Wnt (talk) 20:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Treasury Board and Treasury Board Secretariat → Treasury Board of Canada Secreatriat -- solves three problems - first the duplication of the article; second, uses the official name of the department; third ensures that "Canada" appears in the title to differentiate it from Treasury Boards in other jurisdicitons (e.g. provincial).

• Slovenians → Slovenes —(Discuss)— Seems to be general consensus. See Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (Slovenian vs Slovene). —Eleassar ^{my talk} 09:13, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• WFAN (AM) → WFAN —(Discuss)— Move had already been previously discussed, agreed upon, and completed on talk page; rogue editor moved it back and created a disambiguation page due to the non-existent "women food and agriculture network". Riphamilton (talk) 02:25, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Université de La Rochelle → University of La Rochelle —(Discuss)— This is how the university refers to itself in English, and this is consistent with Wikipedia usage for other French universities. —MyPOV (talk) 02:11, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• A-train (satellite constellation) → A-train —(Discuss)— Wondering if the disambiguation is necessary..? —Sardanaphalus (talk) 01:44, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

• Umm Khulthum (singer) → Umm Kulthum (singer). Move to actual spelling (the actual surname does not include the phoneme "kh", but instead the phoneme "k," ك). The spelling "Khulthum" is never used, and "Umm Kulthum" is used in the title of the most prominent film and biography about this individual. Badagnani (talk) 00:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

12 March 2008

• A Silver Mt. Zion → Silver Mt. Zion —(Discuss)— Current article title hasn't been used as the bandname for some time OR A Silver Mt. Zion → Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band —(Discuss)— Name that's been used on their last 2 releases, and also the name that their official website uses —Lugnuts (talk) 19:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos → A.E.K —(Discuss)— I accidentaly redirected AEK with A.E.K,in wich i should have redirected the page Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos ,the reason for this is Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos means nothing to non-Greek-speaking Wikipedians who go to the article, could you delete the redirect from the page AEK and rename the page Athlitiki Enosis Konstantinoupoleos to A.E.K..?? The-Real-ZEUS (talk) 18:08, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Alawism to Alawites. See talk page.[4] Funkynusayri (talk) 12:05, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Agustín Cárdenas Alfonso → Agustín Cárdenas —(Discuss)— per WP:NC(CN) —Jfire (talk) 05:12, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

• Sir William Henry Perkin → William Henry Perkin or William Perkin or William Henry Perkin (senior) or... — Discuss — Titles such as "Sir" not meant to appear in article names? — Sardanaphalus (talk) 00:30, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

11 March 2008

• Beltrán de La Cueva, 1st Duke of Alburquerque → Beltrán de la Cueva —(move)—(Discuss)— False capitalisaion ("La") and unnecessary disambigutation. Page moved recently w/o discussion. —Srnec (talk) 23:42, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Relisting to obtain community views. Keith D (talk) 22:51, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• Talk:All Music Guide -- These websites are now (and have been for some time) known by other names. The articles should therefore be moved accordingly. --PC78 (talk) 22:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
  • All Music Guide → Allmusic
  • All Movie Guide → Allmovie
  • All Game Guide → Allgame

• Google Search → Google Web Search —(Discuss)— Looking at Google's list of products and services, they call the service "Web Search", should be moved (over the current redirect) to Google Web Search, to be consistent with other Google products like Google Book Search —ZimZalaBim ^talk 21:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• James L. Avery, Sr. → James Avery (actor) —(Discuss)— Since James L Avery Sr is typically requested as simply James Avery, I think it would be better to move this article to James Avery (actor), since his middle initial and senior really appear to be unnecessary and not-so user-friendly. Therefore I think we should move this article —EclipseSSD (talk) 20:12, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• Warner Bros. Games → Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment —(Discuss)— The official websites says WB Interactive Entertainment, and so does the corporate site of Warner Bros. There is very little, if any, products which bare the name of Warner Bros. Games —EclipseSSD (talk) 20:04, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• Gran hermano (Argentina) → Gran Hermano (Argentina) —(Discuss)— The principal reason for the move is that the official and correct name of the program is "Gran Hermano", both names with capital letters. It can be stated in the official page of the program [5], where it's named in that way, but never as "Gran hermano". Daniel dj87 (talk) 01:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

  Relisted, because of lack of community input. Deacon of Pndapetzim (Talk) 18:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• 1956 New York Giants (football) season → 1956 New York Giants season — The destination page is currently a redirect to source page; it originally redirected to the baseball team's article, but I edited it before realizing that would complicate a move. Since the football Giants currently play in New York, they shouldn't be disambiguated with "football" or "NFL". — Highway99 (talk) 18:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• Murder of Kaede Ariyama → Kaoru Kobayashi —(Discuss)— The article is written about not the victim but the killer. —ACSE (talk) 23:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Relist as no input. Keith D (talk) 18:05, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

• Socket F → Socket F(1207) —(Discuss)— "Socket F(1207)" is the real name for this socket, moving it also makes it match all of AMD's literature. —Dr unix (talk) 00:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

10 March 2008

• Rapid transit in the United Kingdom → Metro systems in the United Kingdom —(move)—(Discuss)— More common name possibly —Simply south (talk) 19:07, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

• Pakistani British → Pakistani Briton —(move)—(Discuss)— For consistency with List of Pakistani Britons; also see List of Greek Britons, List of Italian Britons, etc. It seems bizarre to me that the parent articles of these aren't consistent; is there any consensus I've missed on this? If not I'm supporting the above change. —AllynJ (talk | contribs) 18:09, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Relisting to gather some input. Keith D (talk) 11:48, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
    • There is an ongoing project to replace the "** Briton" formula with words that people actually use (see here). "Pakistani Briton" does seem to be used occasionally outside Wikipedia, but you'd need to demonstrate that it is commoner than "Pakistani British". Cop 663 (talk) 12:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

• Go (board game) → Go —(move)—(Discuss)— reason for move is that Go (board game) is a very heavily trafficked page, getting almost a third as many views as Sun and almost a quarter as many as Earth. —199.125.109.107 (talk) 04:27, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

• BloggingHeads.tv → Bloggingheads.tv - I couldn't figure out how to move it, but the move to page is just a redirect to the current page. The official name of the site is with a lower case "h", and the site operator contacted me knowing I have edited the page in the past to request that I move it to the more accurate page name. Cardsplayer4life (talk) 01:57, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

9 March 2008

• Nordic theory → Nordic race —(move)—(Discuss)— Complex merger situation, needs Administrator help. POV-issues should have cleared, but I list it here just in case. —Zara1709 (talk) 23:15, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Mobile network code → Mobile Network Code —(move)—(Discuss) — in such a way this defenition is more frequently used.--Dima1 (talk) 23:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Matyla Ghyka → Matila Ghyka —(move)—(Discuss)— more common spelling of first name —Queerudite (talk) 22:22, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Helga Meyer → Helga Bullock —(move)—(Discuss)— Married name rather than maiden name —Queerudite (talk) 21:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• BRABUS → Brabus —(move)—(Discuss)— Syllabic abbreviation, not acronym, (i.e. Bra.Bus., not B.R.A.B.U.S.) so should not be written in all caps as per WP:MOS-TM guidelines. I think this is not controversial, but has been moved back and forth more than once, so bringing to this page for discussion. —Fatsamsgrandslam (talk) 19:05, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Diamante Citron → Diamante citron —(Discuss)— CitricAsset (talk) 19:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Lakhdenpokhya → Lahdenpohja —(move)—(Discuss)— It's a Finnish name, not Russian. —<Flrn^talk> 17:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Suoyarvi → Suojärvi —(move)—(Discuss)— It's a Finnish name, not Russian. —<Flrn^talk> 17:26, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald → Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane —(move)—(Discuss)— Move back to character's married legal name used on screen. Credits also use the "Crane" last name as well as others, argument that NBC's website is the final authority is weak. —Dougie WII (talk) 15:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC) (Discuss)-- Dougie WII (talk) 15:44, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• This move is contested. KellyAna (talk) 18:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Car wash → Car wash (business) —(move)—(Discuss)— Based on the article traffic tool, Car wash (disambiguation) should be at Car wash. —TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 15:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:CHICAGO/WP:LOTD) 15:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

• Atomicity → Atomicity (database systems) —(move)—(Discuss)— To maintain consistency with the naming convention used on related pages like Durability (database systems), Consistency (database systems), and Isolation (database systems). I don't think this will be controversial, and I'd actually do the move myself, but I don't have enough experience moving things around here and I don't want to "break" something. —SqlPac (talk) 02:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (July 5 or older).

• For Your Eyes Only (disambiguation) → For Your Eyes Only —(move)—(Discuss)— Currently, For Your Eyes Only exists only as a redirect to For Your Eyes Only (disambiguation). According to the guidelines at WP:DAB#NAME, this should be the other way around: when there is no primary topic, the phrase itself should be the title of the disambiguation page, without any need for the disambiguation brackets. —23:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC)Terraxos (talk)

• Enel (energy) → Enel —(move)—(Discuss)— Proposing that the article be moved to Enel, which currently serves as a dab page, with that page moving to Enel (disambiguation). The other two uses of the term on the dab page are a character in a manga series which has previously been deemed insufficently notable to have its own page, and the borderline-crufty meaning of a word in the Lord of the Rings universe, which currently links to a page entitled Awakening of the Elves. I'd argue that the third largest energy supplier in the world is sufficiently more notable than these to be deserving of the Enel page. —Gr1st (talk) 22:28, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Novak Đoković → Novak Djokovic —(move)—(Discuss)— English convention is overwhelming in this case. I can find no source that uses Đoković--wikipedia stands embarrassingly alone on this newsworthy subject. The man's own English website uses Djokovic. Previous request to move resulted in near-unanimity in favor, but move was reverted without discussion or comment. Expansive list of evidence compiled at talk page.

• Final Destination 4 (3-D) → Final Destination 4 —(move)—(Discuss)— The film should be keeping in line with the rest of the series, and not have special treatment. It should therefore be ordered chronologically. —EclipseSSD (talk) 21:10, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Moldovan language → Moldovan (linguistics) —(move)—(Discuss)— Reason for move is that the proper name should be like in the case of other languages that are not recognized as languages.BereTuborg (talk) 17:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Battery (electricity) → Battery —(move)—(Discuss)— Reason for move is that battery is well known only as an electrical battery, witness the fact that all the battery (disambiguation) pages are stubs (or start class) other than this one —199.125.109.76 (talk) 17:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Not so fast. First, it is a false statement that all the pages listed on battery (disambiguation) are stubs. There might be some basis for claiming electrical battery as the primary topic, but it should be discussed and not done as an uncontroversial move. older ≠ wiser 15:37, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Show me one that is not a stub. The longest one, Battery (crime) is only 5kb. Battery cage is only 8 kb, barely above stub size. 199.125.109.76 (talk) 16:51, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I believe you're a bit misguided as to what constitutes a stub. Generally, articles that have only a few paragraphs are considered stubs. Much more than that, and articles are then rated as "Start class". Both of the examples you give are definitely Start class, as are several of the geographic locations mentioned on the disambig page. Parsecboy (talk) 17:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

For example Artillery battery is not a stub. - 83.254.215.235 (talk) 20:50, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Web chat site → Web chat —(move)—(Discuss)— Better match to article text, article is not a list of chatting sites rather an overview of web chat technologies and comparison with other communication tools —83.254.215.235 (talk) 15:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• UUNET/PIPEX → PIPEX —(move)—(Discuss)— article discusses PIPEX's development, including UUNET/PIPEX, title should reflect that —Hm2k (talk) 12:26, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Heaven and Earth Show → The Heaven and Earth Show —(move)—(Discuss)— Proper name of the show; although, the banners on its home page on the BBC website give abbreviation. The proper name is found by searching for the name. —Snowman (talk) 20:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

• Vector (STL) → std::vector —(move)—(Discuss)— the namespace-qualified form is more precise, and avoids the need for disambiguation in the title —Zundark (talk) 11:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

• FSView and Florida Flambeau → FSView & Florida Flambeau —(move)—(Discuss)— Contains appropriate content and is significantly independent of the entry for Florida State University, which the entry for "FSView & Florida Flambeau" currently redirects to. —Justindlc (talk) 20:10, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

• Sorghaghtani Beki → Sorqaqtani Beki —(move)—(Discuss)— More commonly-used spelling for this Mongol monarch. —Elonka 02:23, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

• Iaşi-Chişinău Offensive → Jassy-Kishinev Operation —(move)—(Discuss)— - 1."Jassy-Kishinev Operation" is preferred by English language literature (41 vs 0 Google Books hits for the current name). 2. Current name only gets search engine hits from Wikipedia, its mirrors and Romanian sites. Further argumentation and counterargumentation can be found in the proposal section of the talk page. —Illythr (talk) 22:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

• The Shadow (fictional character) → Shadow (fictional character) —(Discuss)— Despite the article having been titled "Shadow (fictional character)" in accordance with WP:NCD, some fans of the character changed it to the non-policy form "The Shadow (fictional character)" — offering no justification for why The Shadow deserves special treatment as opposed to The Joker, The Hulk, The Spirit, The Flash, The Phantom, The Phantom Lady, The Heap, The Black Widow, The Green Hornet, The Lone Ranger, etc., etc., (other than one fan's solipsistic "Because I said so". There had been no RfC or other formal procedure to justify this — basically just some talk-page discussion with a handful of fans for the change and a handful of editors against, and this non-policy change made without clear consensus. —Tenebrae (talk) 22:03, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Black-hooded Parakeet → Nanday Conure

• Lothair I, Frankish Emperor → Lothair I —(Discuss)— "Frankish Emperor" is anachronistic. "Lothair I" is unambiguous. —Srnec (talk) 03:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

• List of works portraying adult attraction to young males → List of literary works portraying pedophilia and child sexual abuse (boys) —(Discuss)— Restore original name. "Pedophila" and "child sexual abuse" are reasonably definable concepts; "attraction" and "young" are not, and the name change changes the whole tenor of the article. —Herostratus (talk) 20:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

This is a request for further assistance. Whatever the outcome of the move proposal, it needs to be combined with a resolution of the fork problem: an article List of books featuring pedophilia is a fork from the article here under discussion.

As defined in the Wikipedia article Pedophilia, "pedophilia" does not uncontroversially apply to many works currently on these and related lists. Discussion of this mismatch between title and contents has been extensive for several years, and continues on the article's Talk page. The principal editor of this and related pages concedes that what he has meant all along by "pedophilia" is "sexual attraction to children", a plain English description of the topic of the lists that comes much closer than "pedophilia" to describing what is actually to be found on them. He has also agreed that "child sexual abuse" is unneeded in the title (many of the works do not focus on abuse). SocJan (talk) 17:11, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

• Jean-Frédéric Oberlin → J. F. Oberlin —(Discuss)— Oberlin has been known by a wide variety of names in English. Using his initials in the title and then listing the various names within the article would be the most neutral solution. —Olessi (talk) 21:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• Budapest Defence → Budapest Gambit —(Discuss)— The specialised works on the subject calls it "Budapest Gambit" and not "Budapest Defence", as can be seen from the references in the article. The new name is also more precise and focused than the current one. The move has been discussed in the Talk page of the article, in this paragraph. —SyG (talk) 17:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• Sailor Moon SuperS → Sailor Moon Supers —(Discuss)— Since this title obviously violates WP:MOS-TM and WP:MOSCAPS, I originally listed it in the uncontroversial moves section of WP:RM where it was moved to the non-emphatic title; but, soon was moved back. The article, and the section immediately above this notice on the talk page, both state that the capital S is only for emphasis, and is not pronounced separately. The Manual of Style trumps common usage, per many examples cited in those manuals, as well as overwhelming prior consensus. As far as I'm concerned, this discussion is a formality, and a waste of time; but, the article title will probably get changed back and forth again without the discussion.

• Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat → Bumblebee bat —(Discuss)— Someone did a cut-and-paste move, deleting all of "Bumblebee bat" and pasting it into "Kitti's Hog-nosed Bat" (which used to be a redirect). The previous history of "Bumblebee bat" was thus lost. Would it be possible to undo the damage? It does not matter which page is the real article and which one is the redirect, but the real article should keep its full history. Jorge Stolfi (talk) 23:25, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

• Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden → Gustavus Adolphus —(Discuss)— The current title already avoids using his regnal ordinal and his Swedish name (Gustav Adolf), so there is hardly a reason to enforce consistency with other Swedish monarchs by the redundant "of Sweden". —Srnec (talk) 18:02, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Relisted per request and active discussion.

• NoLIta, Manhattan → Nolita —(Discuss)—"Nolita" already redirects here; the disambiguator ("Manhattan") not needed.

• VSS Spirit of Steve Fossett → VSS Voyager —(Discuss)— As noted now on the talk page the original move was based on an editor misinterpreting an article by Branson.

Arvind wanted to move it back, but he is busy in RL now, so that I request another admin move this page. —Jasy jatere (talk) 13:44, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

• Reva Lucian → ? —(Discuss)— I'm not too familiar with the subject, but this article should probably be using her real name, Heather MacAllister. However, that name is already used as the title of another article, so I'm not sure what the preferred disambiguating term should be. Perhaps Heather MacAllister (performer)? —PC78 (talk) 18:39, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

• International style (architecture) → International Style —(Discuss)— The term is a proper noun, coined in 1932 by Phillip Johnston and Henry-Russel Hitchcock for their exhibition and book, and it is clear that it was intended as a title for a particular bounded body of architecture rather than as a mere descriptive. Moreover, is invariably rendered as "International Style" in architectural literature. If the new capitalisation is agreed upon, the "(architecture)" suffix becomes redundant and can also be removed. —FrFintonStack (talk) 23:02, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I feel that that senior and junior ice hockey teams which existed over a span 50 years, are more notable than the junior football team which existed for six years.
