Wikipedia:Requested moves
| This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators. This notice is automatically updated by RMCD bot (talk) and will no longer be displayed when the backlog is cleared. |
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: 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 move process is not mandatory, and sometimes, an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
- Unregistered users and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are generally processed after seven days. If a consensus is reached after this time, a mover will enact the request. If not, the request may be re-listed to allow more time for consensus to develop, or be 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 request closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of a move discussion to determine whether or not the close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.
Contents
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, 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 – (new/unconfirmed users only) add
{{subst:submit}}to the top of the article. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, 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 not been discussion (especially recent discussion) about the title of the page that expresses any objection to the new title; and
- It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.
If you disagree with such a move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move. 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.
Requesting technical moves
If you are unable to complete a technical move, request it below. If this is your first article and you want your draft article published, please submit it for review at Articles for Creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
- To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist| current page title | new page 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 ~~~~.
- 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.
Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Clarence Harry Willcock → Harry Willcock (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, see, for example, the ODNB entry here, The Scotsman article here. DuncanHill (talk) 00:03, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. The move is potentially controversial if any of the following apply:
- There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
- There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
- Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. In particular, use this process before moving any existing page with incoming links to create a disambiguation page at that title. For technical move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see Requesting technical moves.
Do not put more than one open move request on the same article talk page, because this is not supported by the bot that handles updates to this page. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Requesting a single page move
To request a single page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move|NewName|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. Do not sign this.}}
Replace NewName with the requested new name of the page (or with a question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 19 November 2018" and sign the post for you.
Use the code |talk=yes to add separate locations for survey and discussion.
There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the article:
Note: Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as RfC, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topic.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article alerts to receive RM notifications, e.g. this page is transcluded to here. RMCD bot notifies many of the other Wikiprojects listed on the talk page of the article to be moved to invite project members to participate in the RM discussion. Requesters should feel free to notify any other Wikiproject or Noticeboard that might be interested in the move request.
Requesting multiple page moves
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
{{subst:requested move
| new1 = New title for page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| current3 = Current title of page 3
| new3 = New title for page 3
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. Do not sign this.}}
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia and Wiki, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia, and replace current2 with Wiki. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at page 1 (Talk:Wikipedia). Do not sign a request with ~~~~ as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.

Commenting in a requested move
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. It is a place for rational discussion of whether an article should be renamed.
There are a number of practices that most Wikipedians use in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they usually do so in bold text, e. g., Support or Oppose, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.
'''Support'''. - Start comments or recommendations on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *), and sign them by adding
~~~~to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs, making sure it is indented (using multiple *s). - Please disclose whether you have a vested interest in the article, per WP:AVOIDCOI.
- Please have a look at the article before making a recommendation. Do not base your recommendation solely on the information supplied by the nominator or other editors. To understand the situation, it may also help to look at the history of the article. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior Requested Moves. They may contain relevant arguments and further useful information.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Ideally editors should be familiar with WP:Article titles, WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, and WP:MOS (among others) which sets forth community norms for article titles.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations on the course of action to be taken that are not sustained by arguments.
- When making your case or responding to others, explain how the proposed article title meets/violates policy and guidelines rather than merely stating that it does so.
- Nomination already implies that the nominator supports the name change, and nominators should refrain from repeating this recommendation on a separate bulleted line.[a]
- Do not make conflicting recommendations; if you change your mind, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one. The recommended way of doing this is to use strike-through by enclosing a retracted statement between <s> and </s> after the *, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Also, just a reminder that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but valid arguments will be given more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers arguments or evidence that do not explain how the proposed article title meets/violates policy, they may only need a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion. But a pattern of groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider a dispute resolution process outside the current Requested Move process.
Closing instructions
Any uninvolved editor in good standing may close a move request. Please read the closing instructions for information on how to close a move request. The Simple guide to closing RM discussions details how to actually close a requested move discussion.
Relisting
Relisting a discussion moves the request out of the backlog up to the current day in order to encourage further input. The decision to relist a discussion is best left to uninvolved experienced editors upon considering, but declining, to close the discussion. In general, discussions should not be relisted more than once before properly closing.[b] Users relisting a debate which has already been relisted, or relisting a debate with a substantial discussion, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient to close. While there is no consensus forbidding participation in a requested move discussion after relisting it, many editors consider it an inadvisable form of supervote. If you want to relist a discussion and then participate in it, be prepared to explain why you think it was appropriate.
Relisting can be done using {{subst:relisting}}, which also signs it automatically, and is placed at the very end of the initial request (after their signature, and subsequent re-listers signatures). When a discussion has been relisted a bot partially underlines the "Discuss" link in the lists of debates: (Discuss).
When a relisted discussion reaches a resolution, it may be closed at any time according to the closing instructions; there is no required length of time to wait before closing a relisted discussion.
If discussion has become stale, or it seems that discussion would benefit from more input of editors versed in the subject area, consider more widely publicizing the discussion, such as to notify relevant WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}} or {{Mdn}}. Applicable WikiProjects can often be determined by means of the banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request.
Notes
- ^ A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. This is also often done (without an additional "Support" intro) to provide additional detail, such as sources, that would be unwieldy in the nomination statement (remember that the entire nomination statement is transcluded into the list at this requested moves page).
- ^ Despite this, discussions are often relisted up to three times or almost a month.
Current discussions
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
| Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page. |

- (Discuss) – AMBER Alert → Amber Alert – Per WP:UCN. Reliable sources almost never capitalize the "AMBER" part. See search results pages on New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN. BBC articles that refer to the American usage (as opposed to being a weather alert level) also don't put it in all caps (you may need to click "more" a couple times to get more examples). — pythoncoder (talk | contribs) 19:55, 10 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Skins (North American TV series) → Skins (U.S. TV series) – Article was moved in Dec. 2015 by Necrothesp based on "talk page discussion", but none of that dealt specifically with the article titling itself. The infobox still has "United States" as the "country of origin, not "United States" and "Canada". So this needs to be fully discussed – the current title may be correctly disambiguated, or it may not be, but it needs a wider discussion. Note that, for the purposes of things like the "country of origin" (and, thus, the "by country" disambiguation), who supplies the bulk of the $$$$ for the production is what determines it, not where it was filmed, or even what nationality the cast and crew predominantly were (e.g. see Smallville, as just one of many such examples...). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 15:29, 11 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Norman Josiffe → Norman Scott (Thorpe affair) – There is no doubt that this person is considerably better known as Norman Scott. It has been suggested that it could be awkward to move him since Norman Scott is a dab page. However, I suggest that the move should be made providing we can find a suitable disambiguator, this could be the best one. PatGallacher (talk) 18:18, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Death of Elaine Herzberg → Uber developmental self-driving car pedestrian death – Per WP:TITLE: "Generally, article titles are based on what the subject is called in reliable sources." In the list of sources in the article, roughly 90% are about uber and or driverless and 5% are about the victim. A note about using "developmental" in the title. I think it is important to note this wasn't a driverless car. It was a driverless car being developed. Had known limitations and required a driver to oversee it. We have cars now that allow you to take hands off the steering wheel, but few would call them driverless. Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 18:13, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – He → He (pronoun) – If wikipedia were a dictionary, then the English pronoun would undoubtedly be the primaryt topic. But it isn't.

- (Discuss) – Phoresis (disambiguation) → -phoresis – Following the discussion in the RM above, this page is (other than in respect of the Phoresis primary topic entry), simply a list of partial title matches not known as simply "phoresis". I propose moving it (over the redirect) to -phoresis as an article not a disambiguation page (like -bacter and -graphy). Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:11, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Foreign relations of the Republic of Ireland → Foreign relations of Ireland – Guidance on the use of "Ireland"/"Republic of Ireland" is at WP:Manual of Style/Ireland-related articles##Use_of_Ireland_and_Republic_of_Ireland (shortcut: WP:IRE-IRL). (Note that this guidance has been stable for 9 years, having been agreed in a massive structured discussion in 2009 and survived several challenges since.) The guidance says: Use "Ireland" for the state except where the island of Ireland or Northern Ireland is being discussed in the same context. In such circumstances use "Republic of Ireland" (e.g. "Strabane is at the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland"). An exception is where the state forms a major component of the topic (e.g. on articles relating to states, politics or governance) where "Ireland" should be preferred and the island should be referred to as the "island of Ireland" or similar (e.g. "Ireland is a state in Europe occupying most of the island of Ireland")."This is clearly one of the exceptions set out in the second of the two paragraphs above from WP:IRE-IRL. In international relations, the country is known by its constitutional name "Ireland", rather than by the description "Republic of Ireland": the United Nations and the European Union (EU) both use "Ireland", as does the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU), etc etc. There is no ambiguity here with Northern Ireland, because Northern Ireland is a part of the United Kingdom. As such Northern Ireland is not a sovereign state and like Texas or Bavaria or Queensland it does not conduct its own diplomatic relations or hold its own membership of international organisations.

- (Discuss) – Global Force Wrestling → Global Wrestling Entertainment – Jeff Jarrett stopped calling the promotion "Global Force Wrestling" months ago, and now has been using the name "Global Wrestling Entertainment" or "GWE" for a few months, including co-producing the NWA 70th Anniversary Show. It would help keep the article up-to-date and it would also help to avoid confusion with Impact Wrestling.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Epicneter (talk • contribs) 03:50, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – E. I. Cole → E. J. Cole – Although subject's full name was Edward Irham Cole, his professional name was E. J. Cole, not E. I. Cole, according to these references, which indicate his name as Edwin J. Cole [2]. The 42 contemporary publication inline cites appended to the article, however, refer to subject as E. I. Cole, suggesting the existence of two separate individuals, one named E. I. Cole and the other E. J. Cole. The most likely possibility is that it is the same individual known by and using somewhat different names. IMDb lists him as E.J. Cole, with no indication at the bottom of his entry specifying that his alternative professional name was E.I. Cole, while the BFI does not appear to have a listing for either form of the name.

- (Discuss) – German Army (Wehrmacht) → German Army (1935–1946) – As per the section immediately above and the concerns I raised in the last RM, the current title is confusing, since the lay reader who knows little about WWII or Nazi Germany may assume that the German Army and the Wehrmacht are equivalent, which they are not. The current disambiguator is meant to indicate that this is about the German Army while it was a part of the Wehrmacht. I propose a return to dates: 1935, the formation of the Wehrmacht, to 1945, its formal dissolution by the Allies. I could live with 1945 (unconditional surrender of the Wehrmacht) as an end date. It would still be less confusing than the current title. Srnec (talk) 21:17, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Metro (Indonesia) → Metro, Lampung – It was the original title of this page, which was moved with no valid reason. "Metro (Indonesia)" is still very ambiguous as a title. In Indonesia, "metro" could mean a lot of things, from department store, television channel, to urban agglomeration. The natural disambiguation should be "City, Province" or "City, State", like Ambon, Maluku or Nashville, Tennessee. Bluesatellite (talk) 10:23, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

"there is no need to specify the year since there is no other JoJo's TV series."
But, in fact, that is not the case – JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 anime series) also exists, so this article needs to be moved back to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (2012 TV series) to provide necessary disambiguation from the 1993 anime TV series article. The latter article is, however, also incorrectly named as the term "anime" was deprecated as a disambiguator by this early 2018 RM, and so it needs to be moved as well, to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (1993 TV series). --IJBall (contribs • talk) 04:42, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Operation Hope Not → Funeral of Winston Churchill – Second nomination. WP:CONTENTFORKING issue raised in previous move proposal has now been tackled, as per discussion at Talk:Later life of Winston Churchill#Merger proposal, so full discussion of the article's name can now take place. Article is now (even more) substantially about the funeral itself, not merely its planning. It is already linked as such in at Template:Winston Churchill. Discussions indicate that this is the preferred structure for Churchill's pages, and I would argue that "Funeral of Winston Churchill" encompasses both the plan ('Operation Hope Not') and the event itself, whereas "Operation Hope Not" only indicates the former. This is misleading, as (considering the plan was enacted as intended) it is impossible (and not desirable) to talk about the plan without discussing the event itself. Additionally, more detailed references are currently included for the day of the funeral itself than the plan. If the move goes ahead, the opening lines of the current lead section would be moved down to the 'Plan' section. U-Mos (talk) 02:21, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

In addition, to not being WP:RECOGNIZABLE, the current disambiguation also fails to follow WP:NCTV.

Note also that "Pencarrow Heads" was a redirect until yesterday that got some daily views, too; this is an article as of earlier today. I am aware that there is a further Pencarrow Heads in Cornwall (no idea whether it's well-known). Either way, the analysis as is has "Pencarrow" at 10 of a total of 23 views of all the Pencarrows. I thought that all this is rather uncontroversial and hence I moved the article without discussion but User:DuncanHill does not concur.

In this case, (1) is met because there are at least three smaller Antilles other than the greater one. Antilles by itself is very confusing.

There is a sequel in the works, and while this does not warrant an article yet, the trade papers Variety and The Hollywood Reporter have used xXx when discussing the franchise. Furthermore, "XXX" is commonly associated with pornography, so having xXx for these non-pornographic films would be a clearer distinction. (As an example of the confusion, XXX (film series) is unusually high on article traffic statistics for this reason.) And lastly, having all these articles use xXx would be WP:CONSISTENT.

- (Discuss) – Wrestling at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Women's freestyle 72 kg → Wrestling at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Women's freestyle heavyweight – I suggest that the Olympic wrestling article names are in need of an overhaul to achieve consistent, meaningful and unambiguous naming. We have a complete set of articles up until 1936 and the naming convention is as follows: "Wrestling at the <yyyy> Summer Olympics – Men's <style> <weight class name>". We then have articles from 1968 onwards and they follow the following convention: "Wrestling at the <yyyy> Summer Olympics – Men's <style> <weight limit> kg". *Firstly, I suggest that "Men's" can be dropped from the article title as prior to 2004, as only men competed. *Secondly, "Men's" and "Women's" should be consistently part of the article names from 2004 onwards to avoid confusion. *Thirdly, it's very confusing to list the weight limit in the article name given that the limits have been adjusted over the years. It's much easier to follow what is going on when the weight class name is used. This also makes it simpler to cross-reference to the main reference database, Sports Reference, as they use the weight class name with their bios and not the weight limit. I might add that if adopted, this would bring the naming conventions in line with those for boxing. To test whether there is support for these suggestions I'll put a few select articles up for formal discussion. If this turns out to be uncontentious, we can simply move the remaining articles. If consensus isn't clear we can put all the articles through a formal move proposal. Schwede66 19:56, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

Although a Google search returns 6,350 results for "Linga Holm" v 11,100 for Midgarth, this could be because it appears to be a dictionary word. Gazetteer for Scotland also uses Linga Holm.

WP does not capitalize (aside from included proper names) any animal types, populations, or other groupings, with the sole (sometimes controversial, and uncodified) exception of standardized breeds. Mustang groups (feral horse populations in particular areas), broad classifications of horses as being of Spanish ancestry, and a grouping of unrelated ponies by what activity they're intended for or what overall stature they have, clearly do not qualify. None of these are breeds themselves. There are probably more such articles that need moving. One edge case is a separate RM, at Talk:Kiger Mustang. It's a feral population like the other mustang groups (thus "Kiger mustang"), but there is a breed-establishment effort under way from stock taken from this herd, under a different name, Kiger Musteño. Spanish Mustang is not included in either RM, because that is an actual standardized breed, named for the feral Colonial Spanish horse-descended mustangs which were part of its foundation stock. — AReaderOutThataway t/c 07:03, 7 November 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Multielectrode array → Microelectrode array – Both microelectrode array and multielectrode array are commonly used. However, microelectrode array is more appropriate: micro is an important characteristic of the electrodes. A multielectrode array with larger-than-micro electrodes would not achieve the function of recording single cell activity. Furthermore, multi and array together are redundant.

(1) is not met because there is no other major meaning of "Maritimes", and Maritimes has always redirected to The Martimes. And (2) from a search for "the maritimes is" and [a search for "the maritimes are" (search terms designed to analyse usage in running text), we see that virtually no websites capitalise "the". Note: I initially moved this in August, because the evidence seems strong enough to make this uncontroversial.

- (Discuss) – Kiger Mustang → Kiger mustang – Per MOS:LIFE. WP does not capitalize any general animal type, population, or other grouping, with the (sometimes controversial and still uncodified) single exception of the names of standardized breeds. "Kiger mustang" is not one; it's just a term for a population of feral horses in a particular area. A particular standardized-breed effort has started with some specific horses from this population, and the purebred result is called Kiger Musteño, also covered in this article. That qualifies for capitalization, but is not the primary topic of the article, and not independently notable. After the move, the article text should be adjusted to use "Kiger mustang" throughout, like the main Mustang horse article and "mustang" in its text. — AReaderOutThataway t/c 04:45, 7 November 2018 (UTC)--Relisting. –Ammarpad (talk) 06:15, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Queen Street West → Queen Street (Toronto) – I request this page be moved to Queen Street (Toronto) and merged with this revison of Queen Street East (particularly the route description part). All other east-west streets have one article (rather than two divided the street by east and west), some examples are Eglinton Avenue, Lawrence Avenue and King Street (Toronto). Although the lead says the name also describes the neighbourhoods in the article, the article is mostly written about the street, making a rename easy todo without rewittenign much of the article. It should also be noted that Queen Street East doesn't have an article, leavign that section of Queen Street without an article, even though less notable streets in Toronto have articles. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 23:36, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – James Bond (literary character) → James Bond (character) – Over-precise disambiguation. The current title is a relic of when we had a separate James Bond (film character), which now redirects to James Bond filmography. But the idea that they were somehow two different characters has always been WP:OR. Bond is far from the only fictional character whose portrayals differ in different media (one could easily argue that all characters do!). And the filmography isn't even linked in the hatnote, nor does it need to be. There's little to be gained by this longer title.

- (Discuss) – Wellington High School (New Zealand) → Wellington High School, New Zealand – According to our naming conventions, we use a comma rather than ellipses for disambiguation, and we use the city that the school is located in rather than "New Zealand". Problem is that there are a number of towns and cities around the world called Wellington so the city name by itself isn't sufficient and further disambiguation is needed. It doesn't seem logical to have "Wellington" as both the school's name and as part of the disambiguation (e.g. "Wellington High School, Wellington, New Zealand"). We can't use the name of the region either as it's the same as the city. I think the most sensible way around this problem is to simply drop the city name from the dab and use the country name for disambiguation only (in contravention of our naming conventions) but use a comma instead of ellipses.

- (Discuss) – Lincoln High School (New Zealand) → Lincoln High School, Selwyn – According to our naming conventions, we use a comma rather than ellipses for disambiguation, and we use the city or town that the school is located in rather than "New Zealand". The school is located in Lincoln, New Zealand and it doesn't seem quite right to use "Lincoln" as a dab as there are dozens of American schools of this name that commemorate the American president Abraham Lincoln. There are a number of options here and I tend to favour the use of the district name as that is closest (as it were) to our convention of using the town's name: "Selwyn".

- (Discuss) – FC Steaua București → FCSB – I am now proposing this move of the article to the correct title FCSB according to policies because it has been protected so that only certain users can move it and because there was a moratorium, so it could not be done before. The result of the last discussion was "no consensus" and all our arguments (and therefore policies) were ignored. The COMMONNAME policy states that we give greater weight to sources published after the name change, so we give greater weight to sources published after May 4 2018, when Steaua Bucharest officially changed name to FCSB. We presented arguments that after that date the Romanian Football Federation, the Romanian Professional Football League, UEFA, FIFA and the club itself use FSCB on their websites and other channels, both in Romanian and in English. Also the vast majority of media in English language uses the new name after that date, as we presented examples. Wikipedia is not a soapbox, so it is irrelevant if some English speaking editors hold some emotional attachment to the old name of the once European champions, we must follow the reliable sources after the name change and the opposing camp presented not one proof that the common name has somehow miraculously stayed at FC Steaua București.

I deleted the redirect Yeni Mosque, Mytilene[20]. It was moved from New Mosque, Mytilene back to Yeni Mosque, Mytilene as I was preparing this request for posting. Google news search: "Yeni Mosque" 45 results [21] "New Mosque Mytilene" 0 results [22] Yeni Mosque is a dab page and shows other example article names containing Yeni Mosque. I think it will help if there is a consensus on the name of this article to help put an end to these moves. I listed New Mosque, Mytilene in this request only because that is where it previously was. Yeni Mosque, Mytilene appears to be the appropriate name as against all other names listed above, so I oppose the move as to all other possible new names (e.g., the article should be named Yeni Mosque, Mytilene).

- (Discuss) – Samuel Lightfoot Flournoy (West Virginia senator) → Samuel Lightfoot Flournoy (politician, born 1846) – The "West Virginia" seems unnecessary for both articles, since they are the only two Samuel Lightfoot Flournoy topics discussed on Wikipedia. Both of them were West Virginia lawyers, so the article about the one who was born in 1886 has an ambiguous title. The current title of the article about the elder Flournoy is confusing as to whether he was a U.S. senator from West Virginia or a member of the West Virginia state senate. My understanding is that Wikipedia generally prefers "politician" rather than a role-specific title. But both of them are described as being politicians too, so there could also be some ambiguity with using just "(politician)" for the elder Flournoy (although his son's political career does not seem as substantial). —BarrelProof (talk) 20:10, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Reptilians → Reptilian humanoid – Current name is confusing; see discussion at the bottom of [23]. The animals in class Reptilia are reptilians; surely they're more significant than a concept that appears only in fantasy, science fiction, ufology, and conspiracy theories? Given the nature of the Internet, I don't think we can trust Google results here, since topics appearing in fantasy etc. are likely to get lots of hits on forums, personal websites, etc. Instead, I ran searches on JSTOR (from home, so it's not searching what my institution has access to) for reptilian and reptilians. Data: Reptilians by subject, out of 308 total: *Biological Sciences: 87 *Ecology & Evolutionary Biology: 42 *Film Studies: 1 *Folklore: 0 *General Science: 33 *Language & Literature: 11 *Performing Arts: 0 *Sociology: 13 *Zoology: 27 Reptilian by subject, out of 23,312 total: *Biological Sciences: 7,565 *Ecology & Evolutionary Biology: 2,339 *Film Studies: 115 *Folklore: 29 *General Science: 1,989 *Language & Literature: 1,318 *Performing Arts: 107 *Sociology: 231 *Zoology: 3,658 Note that these searches found 172 and 3,658 documents respectively, so many or most results have been assigned multiple subjects. Remember that JSTOR is more of a social sciences/humanities resource than a hard-sciences resource; if every item in JSTOR used these two terms, JSTOR would return fewer hard sciences results merely because of its scope. Therefore, when the hard-sciences usage vastly outnumbers the disciplines that might be studying this article's subject, it's clear that the animals are more significant than reptilian humanoids. [I expect that a large share of the Language and Literature people, in particular, are studying something other than this article's subject; among the top results are items on the Divine Comedy, Quetzalcoatl, bird evolution (how did that get into literature?), wyverns, alligators, and an Edgar Allen Poe poem.] Whether they're the primary topic I don't know, and I'm not arguing for moving the disambiguation page, but as they and reptilian humanoids are the only items on the disambiguation page that could reasonably get pluralized, it seems best to me that we move this article and make its title a redirect to Reptile. Final note, if we move this article, I'm not clear the best place; I got the proposed title from List of reptilian humanoids, but if you can propose a better title, that's great.

- (Discuss) – Studio One (UAE TV program) → Studio One (Emirati TV program) – Per WP:NCTV we use the list at List of adjectival and demonymic forms for countries and nations as the guideline for the correct country adjectivals, both to keep a common standard and also to minimize WP:OR. For United Arab Emirates, the options listed are "Emirati", "Emirian" and "Emiri" - with no option for "UAE". In addition to that, Emiratis is the article for the name of the people, with Emirati as the singular form. The relevant television categories (and others as well) are named in the style of Category:Emirati television series. Other Wikipedia stats when searching: # Searching for: intitle:"(UAE " - gives 1 result, this. # Searching for: intitle:"(Emirati " - gives 15 results (example articles: Mohammad Iqbal (Emirati cricketer), Ahmed Raza (Emirati cricketer), Al-Ittihad (Emirati newspaper)). # Searching for: intitle:"(Emirian " - gives no results. # Searching for: intitle:"(Emiri " - gives no results.
