* ''([[Talk:Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill#Requested Move|Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill]] → {{noredirect|1=Smokey Bones}}''' – The current article name, ''Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill'', is no longer the name used by the company. The company is currently referred to as Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill. Although I would not be opposed if the article was renamed as such, I propose the article be renamed ''Smokey Bones'' to better suit its common name and to avoid future moves.

* ''([[Talk:Perfect Strangers (TV series)#Proposal 1 |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Perfect Strangers (TV series)]] → {{noredirect|1=Perfect Strangers (ABC TV series)}}''' – I have given my thoughts about this requested name. ABC may be interpreted as the [[American Broadcasting Company]], but there is also the ABC network in Australia: [[Australian Broadcasting Company]]. Also, another show may be the same name under the same American network. Nevertheless, there's [[Wings (NBC TV series)]]. Until I vote, I'm '''abstaining''' this proposal. --[[User:George Ho|George Ho]] ([[User talk:George Ho|talk]]) 13:28, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Paris Meridian#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Paris Meridian]] → {{noredirect|1=Paris meridian}}''' – There is no basis for the capitalization. This term is overwhelmingly lower case in [http://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=the+Paris+meridian%2Cthe+Paris+Meridian&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=0&smoothing=3 sources]. <small> ''relisted'' --[[User:Mike Cline|Mike Cline]] ([[User talk:Mike Cline|talk]]) 13:11, 13 April 2012 (UTC) </small> [[User:Dicklyon|Dicklyon]] ([[User talk:Dicklyon|talk]]) 02:39, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Triskaidecagon#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Triskaidecagon]] → {{noredirect|1=Tridecagon}}''' – This is the only polygon whose article uses "kai" in the name. Since both the forms with and without "kai" are just as common, we should move this for consistency with [[tetradecagon]], [[pentadecagon]], etc. [[User:Double sharp|Double sharp]] ([[User talk:Double sharp|talk]]) 11:28, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:John Kearns#Requested move|Discuss]])'' – '''[[:John Kearns]] → {{noredirect|1=John Kearns (footballer)}}''' – The name ''John Kearns'' is ambiguous with ''John Kearns'', an MTV Europe VJ. [[User:Agalas|Agalas]] ([[User talk:Agalas|talk]]) 11:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Ninja (musician)#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Ninja (musician)]] → {{noredirect|1=Ninja (British rapper)}}''' – [[Ninja (musician)]] is far more likely to be in reference to [[Watkin Tudor Jones]], who uses the name Ninja legally and privately as well as onstage. His bio is currently viewed about 40 times more often on average than this one: 45,000 a month for him [http://stats.grok.se/en/201203/Watkin%20Tudor%20Jones] vs. 1,200 for this bio.[http://stats.grok.se/en/201203/Ninja%20%28musician%29] I propose moving this biography to [[Ninja (British rapper)]] and moving the Jones bio to [[Ninja (rapper)]], with the current [[Ninja (musician)]] redirecting to the disambiguation page [[Ninja (disambiguation)]]. Comments welcome. [[User:Jokestress|Jokestress]] ([[User talk:Jokestress|talk]]) 09:27, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem#Request move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem]] → {{noredirect|1=Montenegrin Electrical Transmission System}}''' – [http://www.tso-epcg.com/nono/eindex.php The English version of their website] calls the company "Montenegrin Electrical Transmission System". Per [[WP:UE]] ("In deciding whether and how to translate a foreign name into English, follow English-language usage") the title should be translated into English because an established English title exists.I've also done an unrelated uncontroversial move from [[Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem AD]] to [[Crnogorski elektroprenosni sistem]]. I have a feeling AD is similar to Inc., Corp., and Lld. which are not put in article titles.

* ''([[Talk:Alfredo Simón#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Alfredo Simón]] → {{noredirect|1=Alfredo Simon}}''' – Reason: His name is pronounced in the American/English manner with no emphasis on the "o" in Simon. Therefore the article on Simon should be titled "Alfredo Simon". However, [[Alfredo Simon]] redirects to [[Alfredo Simón]]. That is why I need assistance for making this move.[[User:‎BeenChanged|‎BeenChanged]] ([[User talk:‎BeenChanged|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/‎BeenChanged|contribs]]) 20:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC) <small>orig. timestamp 20:28, 12 April 2012‎ (UTC)</small>

* ''([[Talk:Russo–Polish War (1654–67)#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Russo–Polish War (1654–67)]] → {{noredirect|1=Russo-Polish War (1654–1667)}}''' – Polish War (1654–67)]] → {{no redirect|1=Russo-Polish War (1654–1667)}} – There is no en dash in "Russo-Polish War" because "Russo" is a combining form; see [[MOS:ENDASH]]. [[Special:Contributions/50.46.248.86|50.46.248.86]] ([[User talk:50.46.248.86|talk]]) 20:15, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Jessica James#Move back to Jessie James |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Jessica James]] → {{noredirect|1=Jessie James}}''' – I have no idea why this move was made considering she is still known professionally as "Jessie James" and never once as "Jessica James". Plus "[[Jessie James]]" still redirects here. '''<font color="#0000FF">[[User:QuasyBoy|QuasyBoy]]</font>''' <font color="#00BFFF">[[User talk:QuasyBoy|(talk)]]</font> 19:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[User:Gjh1588/sandbox#Requested Move|Discuss]])'' – '''[[User:Gjh1588/sandbox]] → {{noredirect|1=RF}}''' – Finished working on and editing the RF|Binder page and ready to have it published, so I not longer want it to be in the Sandbox. Would like for this to be an official Wikipedia article. [[User:Gjh1588|Gjh1588]] ([[User talk:Gjh1588|talk]]) 19:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Footloose (1984 film)#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[Footloose (1984 film)]] → {{noredirect|1=Footloose}}''' – The movie/franchise about a town that bans dancing is by far and away the [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]], this page ''alone'' getting ten times the views of the ''G.I. Joe'' character. The only thing that stops this from being uncontroversial is that the 2011 film has as many views as this one, which brings me to the second point in PRIMARYTOPIC: that usage ''and'' long-term notability both play a part. Unofficially, unless an adaptation is much more popular, we tend to give the undisambiguated title to the original, as it's indicative of long-term notability: see The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, etc...

* ''([[Talk:Billiard ball computer#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Billiard ball computer]] → {{noredirect|1=Billiard-ball computer}}''' – which was the article title before [[User:SMcCandlish|SMcCandlish]] ([[User talk:SMcCandlish|talk]]) ([[Special:Contributions/SMcCandlish|contributions]]) moved [[Billiard-ball computer]] to [[Billiard ball computer]] over redirect because "Title doesn't match article text.", on 29 October 2011‎. Per [[MOS:HYPHEN]], use a hyphen to link related terms in [[compound modifier]]s, i.e., to distinguish ''billiard ball'' computer from billiard ''ball computer''. I can update the article text to use hyphens, and more articles link to [[Billiard-ball computer]] than [[Billiard ball computer]]. Would like to have a consensus before editing Wikipedia for consistent use of the term across articles. —[[User:Wbm1058|Wbm1058]] ([[User talk:Wbm1058|talk]]) 18:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Inverter (logic gate)#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Inverter (logic gate)]] → {{noredirect|1=NOT gate}}''' – consistency with related [[AND gate]], [[OR gate]], [[NOR gate]], and [[XOR gate]]. Note also [[Negated AND gate]], for thoroughness. I would also proffer [[WP:NAMINGCRITERIA]]: use names that are precise (''inverter'' has multiple meanings); and particularly [[WP:PRECISION]] and [[WP:PRIMARY]], considering distinction from [[inverter (electrical)]], which is viewed more than 6 times as often. I should note that I previously [[Talk:Inverter_(electrical)#Requested_move|requested a move]] at [[inverter (electrical)]] (currently outstanding), and page view stats are in that discussion. Another guideline to consider is [[WP:COMMONAME]], and I believe both "NOT gate" and "inverter" are used in [[WP:RS]]s. Google hits, for what they're worth, I found as follows:<br>"not gate": About 387,000 results<br>"not gate" logic: About 713,000 results<br>inverter "logic gate": About 1,630,000 results<br>"logic gate" inverter: About 316,000 results<br>"logic gate": About 154,000 results<br>inverter "logic gate" -not: About 760,000 results<br>"logic inverter": About 98,800 results<br>"digital inverter": About 836,000 results<br>"not gate" "logic gate": About 38,300 results<br><br>I'm not sure how to interpret these, given for example how adding terms sometimes increased the result count instead of narrowing it, nor whether Google hits are decisive here, but there they are, for thoroughness. Note also, for what it's worth, discussion above on [https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=NOT_gate&oldid=238766810 merge] of [[inverter (logic gate)]] and [[NOT gate]], effected 16 September 2008.

* ''([[Talk:Gospel Music Channel#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Gospel Music Channel]] → {{noredirect|1=GMC TV}}''' – The network changed its name two years ago. 'Gospel Music Channel' isn't listed as a name on their web site,[http://www.watchgmctv.com/about-us] and 'gmc' or 'GMC TV' is used exclusively in press releases and on the web site. A google search of "GMC TV" finds many hits in trade mags (although I'm not finding quality secondary sources about this network since the name change). 'gmc' is also used, but usually for branding, but 'GMC TV' seems to be used for discussions of the business (see the press releases[http://www.watchgmctv.com/gmc-press-room]), and is also used in the URL. The network cites Nielson ratings to claim it is available in 50M households, and has 230K prime time viewers[http://tvbythenumbers.zap2it.com/2012/04/11/gmc-tv-reaches-new-ratings-heights-on-easter-holiday-week/128524/], so I think prominent enough to warrant any confusion this causes with [[General Motors Corporation]]. When I search "GMC" in google, the second item after General Motors is the network website, which beats out individual car models, etc. -[[User:LaTeeDa|LaTeeDa]] ([[User talk:LaTeeDa|talk]]) 17:12, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

* ''([[Talk:Edward of Portugal#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Edward of Portugal]] → {{noredirect|1=Edward, King of Portugal}}''' – I suggest that we move this article to ''Edward, King of Portugal'' because, as he had no regnal number, he is easily confused with other Portuguese royalty, such as [[Joan of Portugal]] or [[Isabella of Portugal]] (their article names do not contain their honorific title of ''Infante'' or ''Infanta'').

* ''([[Talk:Discrimination based on skin color#Requested move |Discuss]])'' – '''[[:Discrimination based on skin color]] → {{noredirect|1=Colorism}}''' – "Colorism" is the [[WP:COMMONNAME]] and is used repeatedly in the article, which suggests that many or most of the sources in this article are using the term. In addition to laziness having prevented an editor from removing the repeated use of "colorism" in the article post name-change, it could also be that the term is continually used in the article because it is quicker to type, and saying "Discrimination based on skin color" all the time just doesn't flow as nicely. I don't believe that "colorism" is that much of a [[neologism]] anymore. But even being a neologism, some neologisms are allowed on Wikipedia, per [[WP:NEO]]. The previous move request discussions about or related to this article and similar neologisms took place at [[Talk:Height discrimination]], but they weren't as much about the merit of using the term colorism as an article title.

  • (Discuss)Smokey Bones Barbeque and GrillSmokey Bones – The current article name, Smokey Bones Barbeque and Grill, is no longer the name used by the company. The company is currently referred to as Smokey Bones Bar & Fire Grill. Although I would not be opposed if the article was renamed as such, I propose the article be renamed Smokey Bones to better suit its common name and to avoid future moves.

  • (Discuss)User:Gjh1588/sandboxRF – Finished working on and editing the RF|Binder page and ready to have it published, so I not longer want it to be in the Sandbox. Would like for this to be an official Wikipedia article. Gjh1588 (talk) 19:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Footloose (1984 film)Footloose – The movie/franchise about a town that bans dancing is by far and away the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, this page alone getting ten times the views of the G.I. Joe character. The only thing that stops this from being uncontroversial is that the 2011 film has as many views as this one, which brings me to the second point in PRIMARYTOPIC: that usage and long-term notability both play a part. Unofficially, unless an adaptation is much more popular, we tend to give the undisambiguated title to the original, as it's indicative of long-term notability: see The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, etc... Sceptre (talk) 18:52, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Inverter (logic gate)NOT gate – consistency with related AND gate, OR gate, NOR gate, and XOR gate. Note also Negated AND gate, for thoroughness. I would also proffer WP:NAMINGCRITERIA: use names that are precise (inverter has multiple meanings); and particularly WP:PRECISION and WP:PRIMARY, considering distinction from inverter (electrical), which is viewed more than 6 times as often. I should note that I previously requested a move at inverter (electrical) (currently outstanding), and page view stats are in that discussion. Another guideline to consider is WP:COMMONAME, and I believe both "NOT gate" and "inverter" are used in WP:RSs. Google hits, for what they're worth, I found as follows:
    "not gate": About 387,000 results
    "not gate" logic: About 713,000 results
    inverter "logic gate": About 1,630,000 results
    "logic gate" inverter: About 316,000 results
    "logic gate": About 154,000 results
    inverter "logic gate" -not: About 760,000 results
    "logic inverter": About 98,800 results
    "digital inverter": About 836,000 results
    "not gate" "logic gate": About 38,300 results

    I'm not sure how to interpret these, given for example how adding terms sometimes increased the result count instead of narrowing it, nor whether Google hits are decisive here, but there they are, for thoroughness. Note also, for what it's worth, discussion above on merge of inverter (logic gate) and NOT gate, effected 16 September 2008. ENeville (talk) 17:56, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Gospel Music ChannelGMC TV – The network changed its name two years ago. 'Gospel Music Channel' isn't listed as a name on their web site,[3] and 'gmc' or 'GMC TV' is used exclusively in press releases and on the web site. A google search of "GMC TV" finds many hits in trade mags (although I'm not finding quality secondary sources about this network since the name change). 'gmc' is also used, but usually for branding, but 'GMC TV' seems to be used for discussions of the business (see the press releases[4]), and is also used in the URL. The network cites Nielson ratings to claim it is available in 50M households, and has 230K prime time viewers[5], so I think prominent enough to warrant any confusion this causes with General Motors Corporation. When I search "GMC" in google, the second item after General Motors is the network website, which beats out individual car models, etc. -LaTeeDa (talk) 17:12, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Digital Bibliography & Library ProjectDBLP Computer Science Bibliography – This is the current official title for the DBLP. The previous Wikipedia title "Digital Bibliography & Library Project" should be superseded by simply DBLP and/or DBLP Computer Science Bibliography. As the DBLP FAQ states DBLP is preferred over the outdated "DataBase systems and Logic Programming" and no mention is made of the assumed backronym "Digital Bibliography & Library Project" though this backronym description clearly fits the properties of the service.Davient (talk) 03:34, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Cisplatine WarArgentine–Brazilian War – There are 3.160 google book results for "Argentine-Brazilian War" and only 802 for "Cisplatine War". Plus, the new name may be better for readers: any reader can recognize Argentina and Brazil, and understand that this was a war between both (actually, they were the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata and the Empire of Brazil back then, predesesor states of modern Argentina and Brazil, but nobody is that technical). On the other hand, "Cisplatina" was a former province of the Empire of Brazil, and hardly anyone beyond history experts will recognize that name beforehand.Note, by the way, that I'm not requesting to undo the former move request, this is a new one. The old one was from "Argentina-Brazil War" (names of countries, not demonyms), which had just 98 results, and I'm not asking for it. Cambalachero (talk) 01:38, 12 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss)Huw DaviesHugh Davies – The title of a disambiguation page is at issue here. Currently, Hugh Davies redirects to Huw Davies. I think it should be the other way 'round. "Hugh Davies" is the only spelling with an actual article on WP (there are four articles, actually), and is the more widely-used spelling. Dohn joe (talk) 22:17, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Rajah Lakan DulaLakandula – Up to the 70s and 80s he was often erroneously referred to as Rajah Lakandula, but the terms "Rajah" and "Lakan" have the same meaning, making the use of both "Rajah" and "Lakandula" at the same time redundant. Current orthodox sources, such as William Henery Scott, Luis Camara Dery, and Ambeth Ocampo refer to him either as Lakan Dula or Lakandula. Nick Joaquin, in 1990 (Manila, My Manila: A History for the Young. Anvil Publishing) was particularly emphatic in calling attention to the redundancy. As for "Lakandula" (spelled as one word) versus "Lakan Dula" (split into two words), Lakandula had 242,000 google hits. Lakan Dula only had 66,0000. - Alternativity (talk) 10:35, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Franz Konrad (SS officer)Franz Konrad – I believe that this should be the primary page (it has far more views than "Franz Konrad (racing driver)". Right now "Franz Konrad" redirects to "Franz Konrad (racing driver)", which means that the current links on Wikipedia that link to "Franz Konrad" will have to be changed so that they link to "Franz Konrad (racing driver)". A disambiguation page should also be set up for Franz Konrad and its variations. Hoops gza (talk) 00:44, 10 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss)South Shore Line (NICTD)South Shore Line – This is a repeat of the move request from 2010. That request was closed as no consensus on the weight of DanTD's objection that this move would rob the South Shore Line of its distinctiveness, and that the Red Line in Boston is also called the South Shore Line. I believe that this was a misreading of WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, which provides a two-prong test for a primary topic:*A topic is primary for a term, with respect to usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term.*A topic is primary for a term, with respect to long-term significance, if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term.This article clearly satisfies these criteria. Furthermore, of all the articles listed at the disambiguation page, it is the only topic which is known primarily by this name. While the Chicago SouthShore and South Bend Railroad is also colloquially known as the South Shore Line, it is located at is proper name. Similarly, while there is anecdotal evidence that the MBTA Red Line is referred to as the South Shore Line, no one has proved this to be common usage, and it certainly isn't more common than Red Line. There are no doubt many other railroad routes throughout the world referred to as the "South Shore Line," as Anthony Appleyard noted in the last debate. If so, we don't have articles about them, or we do but in no case is this usage so prevalent that someone saw fit to add it to disambiguation page. Even if they had, none of these other railroads/routes/services have this exact name. This is the only topic on Wikipedia with the proper name South Shore Line. It is by far the most common usage of the term. Our article name should reflect that. Mackensen (talk) 23:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)IPad (3rd generation)iPad 3 – Neither "iPad (3rd generation)" or "iPad 3" is the official name of the device (the official name is "the new Ipad"). However, I believe that "iPad 3" is the most neutral and commonly used layman term, as per WP:COMMONNAME. A reader is probably more familiar with the name "iPad 3" than any of the other names. Many reliable sources use both names (as Apple has created massive confusion over the name), but "iPad 3" is by far the most common name used by common folk on blogs, forums, etc. A Google search for "ipad 3" returns about 133,000,000 results while a search for "ipad 3rd generation" or "3rd generation ipad" returns less than 10,000,000 hits total.

  • (Discuss)Dumbbell front raiseFront raise – The front raise exercise can be done with barbells, cables, kettlebells, stretch bands, and any other number of resistance implements. Having it specifically refer to dumbbells and having 'front raise' direct here as it currently does is overly specific. The 'dumbbell front raise' is merely a term to specify the exercise done with a specific implement and is more deserving of a section than a complete title. Y12J (talk) 23:21, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Waterdeep (city)Waterdeep – I think the fictional city -- the most important city in the most popular D&D setting -- is far more likely to be the topic sought by readers under the name "Waterdeep" than a relatively obscure band. Google results are actually pretty well split, assisted by virtue of the band holding the waterdeep.com domain name, although a Google Books search unsurprisingly favors the city and a Google Scholar search shows little sign of either entity. (It's worth noting that the Waterdeep (band) article actually has no third-party sources listed and thus appears to violate our notability guidelines, though I'm certainly not proposing deletion.) Most importantly, though, since we have only two items on the disambiguation page, the disambiguation page is really superfluous and we can get rid of it entirely by designating one topic as primary, and I think that's a strong incentive to do so if at all possible.

  • (Discuss)Murder of Oksana MakarDeath of Oksana Makar – So far we have one person dead and three arrested, accused of various things, and charged with intent to murder. Murder is pronounced by a court of law (or coroner equivalent). No such legal pronouncement has YET been made. Hence, we are currently dealing with allegations and suspicions. To name the article "murder" is not to maintain neutrality. Mootros (talk) 11:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)John BowkerJohn Bowker (theologian) – After reading the suggestions found on WP:PRIMARY TOPIC, I do not think Bowker is notable enough to be the primary topic. A Google search returns several hits first for John Bowker (baseball), despite the fact that Bowker has not been very successful in his major league career. Thus, I think that this Bowker's article should be retitled and John Bowker should become a disambiguation page. John Bowker (baseball) could be made the primary topic, but I do not know if he is notable enough for that (or if this guy is unnotable enough for that).

  • (Discuss)Timeline of the Big BangHistory of the Universe – there are a few reasons why the name should be changed to this. First of all, it is not a timeline. A timeline would be a table or chart, not a paragraph based summary split into sections. Second of all it doesn't accurately reflect the content of the article, which goes beyond the initial big bang which occurred 13.7 bya, even discussing the fate of the universe. We have to define big bang: are we to call the whole history of the universe just a continuous big bang or is it the initial inflation that occurred 13.7 bya? To me this is a more accurate name.

She has also been referred to as Maxine on FCW TV. As Maxine is therefore the most popular name the page should be named so. Starship.paint (talk) 11:29, 8 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss)Kate spade New YorkKate Spade New York – relatively new article, per WP:MOSTM the trademark owner's desire to render their name in lowercase should not be reflected in the article title. Updated the article to indicate that "kate spade" is rendered in lowercase in literature and on products, but the move bumps into an existing redirect. The fact that my signature contains a spade symbol is coincidental, no relationship to the trademark owner. Casascius♠ (talk) 23:23, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Adam's BridgeRam Setu – This page should be called "Ram Setu", Adam is not a common name in India. Rightfully as per the location the name should be used. They changed Madras to Chennai, and so it is.Chinnu.cityboy (talk) 19:04, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)UNF (disambiguation)UNF – I think with my recent additions of the United Nations Foundation and UniFirst to this page, the University of North Florida can no longer be thought of as the primary topic. The university is still undoubtedly the topic most searched for among those listed, but I don't think it can satisfy the guideline's wording of "A topic is primary for a term, with respect to usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term." For example, when I tried searching Google for "unf" (no quotes), the United Nations Foundation was result number five, and when I tried a search of "UNF" (with quotes), UniFirst's stock listing at Yahoo Finance was result number eight. — Mr. Stradivarius 18:18, 7 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss)Imera LtdImera Power – This article was originally named Imera Power. However, user:Energyman has started campaign to remove everything related to this company from Wikipedia. He moved this page to Imera Ltd by claiming that this is "incorrect title for company name" and that "Imera Power is not the correct name for this article as it was never this companies name". However, it is shown by the added references that the company has used this name; so it feels that there is other reasons for this campaign. As an alternative, it could be moved to Imera; however, this is a redirect to I Imera. Beagel (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss)Pot Luck (2002 film)L'Auberge espagnole – Disputes over which English title to move this article to has been unproductive and largely based on the national biases of the users involved.

  • (Discuss)Balfour Declaration of 1926Balfour Report of 1926 – A review of google books suggests Balfour Report of 1926 is more common than Balfour Declaration of 1926 - presumably this is because (1) scholars choose to distinguish it from the materially more well know 1917 declaration, and (2) it was a report, not a "declaration".

  • (Discuss)French invasion of RussiaNapoleon's Russian campaign – The proposed name is completely neutral and largely used by historians [13] and respect WP:NPOV. While the current title is biased and factually wrong : It gives the false impression that France led an aggressive war against Russia to conquer some territories, while Napoleon I responded to Alexander I's ultimatum about Poland. Napoleon I didn't wanted to "invade" Russia, but to win a decisive battle to force Alexander I to negociate peace. And by the way, the French were less than 50% in this so-called "French invasion".

  • (Discuss)Weather controlWeather modification – "Weather modification" is in far greater use than "Weather control", getting five times as many hits on Google Scholar, and the actual industry almost exclusively uses the term Weather Modification. The article itself used "modification" 50% more than "control", and renaming it would allow the standard form of "modification" to be used in the lede and other places for clarity.

  • (Discuss)Adele (singer)AdeleA discussion almost a year ago indicated some interest in this arrangement. Though participation was low, a slim majority favored it; only the nominator and one other editor favored what became the status quo. Since then, the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC argument for Adele (the singer) has only gotten stronger, especially as evidenced by her Grammy haul. The comparison to Madonna in that previous discussion is misleading, as that term has a broad and long historic usage having nothing to do with the singer. No one else with the given name or surname "Adele" seems to use it as a mononym, and it's reasonable to assume that users interested in the name in general will use (name), whereas the majority of users who simply type in "Adele" are indeed looking for the singer.

  • (Discuss)Celeste (colour)Sky blue – Sky blue and celeste are similar shades of light cyan or azure, but sky blue is the more common term in English. Celeste is the Italian term for...sky blue. Propose rewriting article and changing the title to favor sky blue instead of celeste. Note that sky blue has redirected to several other shades of blue in the past; it currently redirects to celeste pbp 15:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Qi (Shandong)Qi (state) – "Shandong" is not a good disambiguator. It is meant to disambiguate from the minor state Qi (Henan), but the problem is that Qi (Henan) was also later relocated to Shandong. Since Qi (Shandong) is a major state and the primary topic which Qi (state) redirects to, the disambiguation is unnecessary and it's better to just move it back to Qi (state), consistent with the names of other major Chinese states such as Qin (state) and Chu (state). --Zanhe (talk) 15:38, 5 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Fort WorthFort Worth, Texas – Per WP:USPLACE, the only US cities that do not need the state name in the article title are cities listed in the AP Stylebook. Fort Worth is not one of these cities and therefore should have the state name in the article title. Relisted. Discussion still in progress. Favonian (talk) 11:33, 5 April 2012 (UTC).

  • (Discuss)TaijiTaiji (concept)T'ai chi ch'uan, “T'ai chi”, is arguably the WP:PRIME target. The existing discussion was preempted by a confused "RfD" on certain redirects. Misspellings, pinyin and Wade-Giles renditions of a word all mean exactly the same thing. However, the objective that the “RfD closes in favour of Wade-Giles-ish → dab” over-extends the scope of the RfD, for example, to move the “martial art at the top of the dab… as it is the most likely searched for” while avoiding the WP:PRIME guideline altogether via unsubstantiated opinion regarding an admittedly fictional distinction: “Pinyin vs Wade-Giles is an unfortunate circumstance brought about by laymen, but the truth is that the (usage) ambiguity surrounds the Wade-Giles version(s), so sadly the line is actually between pinyin & WG, when there shouldn't even be one”.

  • (Discuss)The Cardinals (rock band)Ryan Adams and the CardinalsRelisted. This needs more input. The article has been at this name for a while. Now a year after Ryan leaves the group we should rename it to add him to the title when he is no longer with the band seems problematic. Is the proposed name really the WP:COMMONNAME? Vegaswikian (talk) 20:51, 1 April 2012 (UTC) This is the actual band name. All releases are credited to this group name. Post-Ryan Adams history is not notable enough (yet?).

  • (Discuss)Doug LeedsDouglas B. Leeds – Douglas B. Leeds the person is often referred to as "Douglas B. Leeds" in the references section and by external sources. Doug Leeds has almost no internal wikipedia pages linking to it. Douglas B. Leeds is not living, so a more formal name is appropriate. Douglas Leeds the person is referred to in all external sources as Doug Leeds. Several internal pages link to Douglas Leeds, though this is awkward because the person is known exclusively as Doug Leeds. SammyKobe (talk) 03:12, 1 April 2012 (UTC). I should also mention that a google search for "Doug Leeds" brings up both (with slightly more weight to Doug Leeds (born 1968), but a Google search for ""Douglas Leeds" is almost completely all Douglas B. Leeds (born 1947), lending further credibility to the argument that the page "Doug Leeds" is more appropriate for Doug Leeds (born 1968). Thanks for your consideration![reply]
  • (Discuss)Kim Hyo-yeonHyoyeon – As with the other Girls' Generation members, she is known mononymously. Her surname is rarely referred to outside of fansites. Per WP:STAGENAME and existing naming conditions, the page should be under Hyoyeon; it redirects here anyway, and there's no other use for that term. --Relisted UtherSRG (talk) 22:18, 30 March 2012 (UTC) SKS (talk) 04:45, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Yad Eliyahu ArenaNokia Arena – per WP:COMMONNAME The historic name is indeed Yad Eliyahu, but since sponsorship was purchased, the Nokia name is commonly referred to in the media, and only diehards (including yours truly) use the old name. Nonetheless, the common practice is to use the current name and there are numerous examples of American sports venues who've had legacy names but have new official commercial names and this is reflected in article names as well (e.g. Chase Field, Minute Maid Park, Progressive Field, Tropicana Field Shuki (talk) 01:40, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival TorontoCaribana – Since Caribana currently redirects here, this should be moved to that page. Except for sponsers and PR people, nobody anywhere ever refers to this festival as the "Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto", they call it "Caribana". Irregardless of the trademark dispute affecting the festival name change, this should be at the WP:COMMONNAME by which it is referred to, not the business/sponsered name it goes by on formal files. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 01:31, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)British Mandate for Palestine (legal instrument)Mandate for Palestine – The term "British" is ambiguous, since you could call it a League of Nations mandate for Britain. The parenthesis is not needed, since the proposed title is clear that the article is about the mandate and not about Palestine. The simpler title goes better with the image and the hatnote provides clarification for any confused readers. Srnec (talk) 23:05, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Murambi Technical SchoolMurambi Genocide Memorial CentreRelisted. I would like to see some data that shows this usage as WP:COMMONNAME. While WP:OFFICIAL does not prohibit using the official name, it does not mandate it either. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:53, 29 March 2012 (UTC) This building is much more famous as a genocide museum than as a technical school. If it had stayed a technical school it probably wouldn't even be notable. The article even states it's now known as the Murambi Genocide Memorial Centre. JIP | Talk 21:15, 22 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Hell's Gate, British ColumbiaHells Gate, British Columbia – A group of students in a History class at UBC has been editing this page. The majority of our academic sources have used the spelling without the apostrophe, as do government websites such as this one: "Hells Gate (canyon)". BC Geographical Names. We therefore think it is appropriate, based on the policy WP:COMMONNAME to switch the existing page to one with spelling without the apostrophe. Eye101 (talk) 21:04, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Flag of the Republic of ChinaFlag of Taiwan – Taiwan is the common name of this country, and the current flag has been the flag of this country since 1928. The recent move request decision provides that we should all stick with the common name principle, and there is no recentism issue at all. If we look at other countries, the articles are located at Flag of France or Flag of Australia, not Flag of the French Republic or Flag of the Commonwealth of Australia. 1.65.211.83 (talk) 18:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)And Yet It MovesAnd Yet It Moves (video game) – I don't believe the video game is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC of "And Yet It Moves", especially when taking into account PRIMARYTOPIC's "long-term significance/educational value" clause. I think it far more likely that people searching an encyclopedia for "And Yet It Moves" would be looking for Galileo's famous phrase, Eppur si muove (translated into English as "And Yet It Moves"). Flicking through the first few pages of gbooks and gscholar, I can't find any references to the video game, but plenty to the phrase. Jenks24 (talk) 16:22, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss)Unfulfilled religious predictionsUnfulfilled Christian religious predictions – After several years, this page still has anyno examples of non-Christian unfulfilled religious predictions. It briefly had one example, after I added a reference to the Ghost Dance, but that was (accidentally) deleted some time ago. In any case, no other editors contributed any non-Christian examples. If I had my druthers, the page would be deleted as an example of a hopeless list that can never be complete or non-arbitrary, but previous AFDs have failed. In the absence of any clear criteria for inclusion of this list, what has emerged has been exclusively a list of Christian predictions. This seems unlikely to change, so we might as well change the article title to reflect its contents. Phiwum (talk) 12:08, 29 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
