Shortcuts

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

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

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Theo van Gogh (art dealer) → Theo van Gogh (move · discuss) – Clearly the primary topic. Additionally, the two Theo van Goghs don't share a first name, only a nickname, so a natural disambiguation could be used for either or both. Marisauna (talk) 20:57, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think this request needs more evidence that the art dealer is really the primary topic, given the article on Theo van Gogh (film director). Without that evidence, the present arrangement with the basic Theo van Gogh disambig page is sufficient. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 23:00, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Dance of the Vampires (musical) → Tanz der Vampire (currently a redirect back to Dance of the Vampires (musical)) (move · discuss) – Swap the two pages (WP:SWAP): Tanz der Vampire is the WP:COMMONNAME for the successful worldwide musical, the english "Dance of the Vampires" production failed and is not renown Raladic (talk) 17:38, 21 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to see some more evidence of common usage here, than just the assertion that the German title is the more common. Given that the musical was released in English under an English name, and this article covers both the international run and that, I'd expect that to be the default title, even if it is the opinion that "production failed and is not renown"... — Amakuru (talk) 11:02, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Per https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=Tanz%20der%20Vampire,Dance%20of%20the%20Vampires&hl=en "Tanz der Vampire" has a constant search Worldwide, whereas "Dance of the Vampires" is near zero, thus "Tanz der Vampire" is the WP:COMMONNAME, even in English speaking countries of the United States and UK.

So I'd suggest that "Tanz der Vampire" be the default title, whereas "Dance of the Vampires (musical)" redirect there and be listed as alternative English name in the lead per WP:DONTUSEENGLISH.

In fact per the talk page many even argue that the English production should be split out, as it was an entirely different show (which is also why it failed) [1] [2], often referring to the "good" show by the German title "Tanz" to differentiate from the bad English one (as seen in the Vulture article linked).

So hence my suggestion to rename the existing article into Tanz der Vampire as common name of the successful musical. On further reflection, I think splitting out the failed US production may be a follow up from that. Raladic (talk) 02:27, 23 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
