Focused Ultrasound Foundation

Hi, I am requesting a page to be renamed/moved. I am requesting it to be moved here rather than moving myself per the Wiki:MovingAPage guidelines that first suggest it be requested here before attempting. The reason is this organization is no longer called "Foundation for Ultrasound Research" it is now called "Focused Ultrasound Foundation". The Wiki page is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundation_for_Focused_Ultrasound_Research Voila34228 (talk) 21:56, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

WikiData errors

-snip- (I moved this over to Wikipedia talk:Page mover#Wikidata errors, I think that's a better place to ask, but since this page has significantly more watchers, if you might have an answer to why page moves are breaking wikidata interwiki links, please check the discussion over there, thanks!)

Move Utsav Naik (Gujarati actor) page to top-level

I have created the page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Utsav_Naik . I am a Gujarati movie actor with 2 upcoming movies. I have added all the credible sources required from popular news publications Utsavnaik12 (talk) 21:12, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you have already noticed, WP:AFC is the process for new users wanting to move pages from Draft to mainspace. Your submission is in the queue and it will be reviewed by a reviewer, hopefully in the next 1 or 2 months. Iffy★Chat -- 21:27, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Amhara genocide - time for a close?

Keeping in mind that I'm the proposer, the best arguments from all sides seem to have been presented at Talk:Amhara genocide#Requested move 13 January 2023, with quite a bit of constructive engagement; now discussion has petered out (no more comments since 5 days ago). Seems time for someone uninvolved and familiar with Wikipedia policy and guidelines to consider a close. Whatever the decision is, a close would stop more energy going into the title debate. Not a trivial close: there's quite a bit of discussion to read. Boud (talk) 02:25, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Move JVMoneyMan:/sandbox to Cobra Maltase

I have created a sandbox for the rapper Cobra Maltase with the sandbox of JVMoneyMan and saw that people have the "Move" section on their sandbox and I don't have the Move section, I'm not blocked from editing and this account has been around for almost 2 months. I have added all the credible sources required from popular news publications. I want to move Cobra Maltase to an Article because James Antonio Vasquez (born June 7, 2005), known by his stage name Cobra Maltase (pronounced "Cobra Maal·tays) is an American rapper, songwriter and record producer from Brooklyn, New York JVMoneyMan (talk) 03:43, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't why you don't have a "move" button, but since the current page in your sandbox doesn't demonstrate the notability of the subject, it would be deleted or draftified if moved to the title you requested. (Actually, there are not any sources cited on the current page.) You may be able to get more feedback or information at Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Further, your username indicates that you may be associated with the topic of the article, in which case I suggest that you take a look at WP:YOURSELF. Best, Dekimasuよ! 04:15, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

the notability of the subject is rapping, hip hop music and trap music JVMoneyMan (talk) 22:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It has References and Categories JVMoneyMan (talk) 18:01, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, but Instagram, Spotify & Apple Music aren't considered as encyclopedic references, alongside IMDB, etc. or any user-generated content like blogs. News media (website, magazines, newspapers), reputable journals, or research books count towards encyclopedic references. Further, sources you cite should be reliable & preferably a secondary source. Secondly, any article about any person should meet the minimum criteria set at Wikipedia's notability guidelines. —CX Zoom[he/him] ^{(let's talk • {C•X})} 18:12, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:NMUSIC for the notability requirements for musicians. - UtherSRG (talk) 18:14, 1 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Why is the article keep getting deleted? JVMoneyMan (talk) 02:55, 4 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

hatnote

@Eejit43: The problem with that hatnote is that when we hit the "clear all" button, the hatnote will get wiped away. I don't know how to update the button. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:23, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Already updated

~ Eejit43 (talk) 13:24, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For future references though @UtherSRG it is found at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests/Instructions ~ Eejit43 (talk) 13:25, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... based on the oldid! Got it. Ok. Now I can make the other corrections I want, such as removing spaces from between the sections headers and the hatnotes.... And correct your typo. :) - UtherSRG (talk) 13:27, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops- thanks for catching that!! :) ~ Eejit43 (talk) 13:30, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

YW! And OMG... that finally clears that OCD itch! :D - UtherSRG (talk) 13:31, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
