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 moves 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 consensus is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will enact the request. If not, the request may be re-listed to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion 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, 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. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. - 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 been no discussion (especially no recent 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 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 move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct page if you tried to move a page, and you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:".

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

- To list a technical request: 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
- Tamm–Horsfall protein → Uromodulin (redirect to Tamm–Horsfall protein) (move · discuss) – more usual aka now - ngrams, google 3x more; name used consistently on page; suits use of UMOD infobox Iztwoz (talk) 08:30, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- Vicar hope foundation → Vicar Hope Foundation (move · discuss) – Capitalized title is creation protected due to spamming in 2017. – Thjarkur (talk) 13:11, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- North Penajam Paser Regency → Penajam North Paser Regency (move · discuss) – The regency was formed from northern part of Paser Regency, while Penajam itself is part of it. Therefore the correct term is Penajam North Paser instead of North Penajam Paser – BellaYunita (talk) 16:19, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves
The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. A move is potentially controversial if either of the following applies:
- 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, such as to correct obvious typographical errors, see Requesting technical moves. The technical moves procedure can also be used for uncontroversial moves when the requested title is occupied by an existing article.
Do not create a new move request when one is already open on the same talk page. Instead, consider contributing to the open discussion if you would like to propose another alternative. Multiple closed move requests may be on the same page, but each should have a unique section heading.
Do not create a move request to rename one or more redirects. Redirects cannot be used as current titles in requested moves.
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 12 March 2020" and sign the post for you.
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 Requests for comment, nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as Google Ngrams and pageview statistics) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our article titling policy and the guideline on disambiguation and primary topics.
WikiProjects may subscribe to Article alerts to receive RM notifications. For example, Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts/Requested moves is transcluded to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography. 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, as long as this notification is neutral.
Single page move on a different talk page
Occasionally, a move request must be made on a talk page other than the talk page of the page to be moved. For example, a request to rename Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates would need to take place at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation because the talk page of the project page to be moved, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, is a redirect to that centralized discussion page. In this type of case, the requested move should be made using the following code:
{{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}}
Note that the |1= unnamed parameter is not used, and that the |current1= and |new1= parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
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).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{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.
Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace. For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is not itself proposed to be moved, specify |current1=Current title of page 1 for the first page to move.
Request all associated moves explicitly
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to move Cricket (disambiguation) to Cricket because you do not believe the sport is the primary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, both Cricket (disambiguation) and Cricket. Thus you must list proposed titles for each page affected by your request. For example, you might propose:
If a new title is not proposed for the sport, it is more difficult to achieve consensus for a new title for that article. A move request that does not show what to do with the material at its proposed target, such as:
is incomplete. As a malformed move request, it may be subject to early closure on procedural grounds.

Commenting on a requested move
All editors are welcome to contribute to the discussion regarding a requested page move. There are a number of standards that Wikipedians should practice in such discussions:
- When editors recommend a course of action, they write Support or Oppose in bold text, which is done by surrounding the word with three single quotes on each side, e.g.
'''Support'''. - Comments or recommendations are added on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *) and signed by adding
~~~~to the end. Responses to another editor are threaded and indented using multiple bullets. - The article itself should be reviewed before any recommendation is made; do not base recommendations solely on the information supplied by other editors. It may also help to look at the article's edit history. However, please read the earlier comments and recommendations, as well as prior move requests. They may contain relevant arguments and useful information.
- Vested interests in the article should be disclosed per Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI.
When participating, please consider the following:
- Editors should make themselves familiar with the article titling policy at Wikipedia:Article titles.
- Other important guidelines that set forth community norms for article titles include Wikipedia:Disambiguation, specific naming conventions, and the manual of style.
- The debate is not a vote; please do not make recommendations that are not sustained by arguments.
- Explain how the proposed article title meets or contravenes 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, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <s> and </s> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "•
SupportOppose".
Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with 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 using a dispute resolution process.
Closing a requested move
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 a requested move
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 automatically includes the relister's signature, and which must be placed at the very end of the initial request after the move requester's signature (and subsequent relisters' 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 by notifying WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}} or {{Mdn}}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.
Notes
- ^ A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement is transcluded into the list on this page.
- ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.
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) – RMS Queen Mary 2 → Queen Mary 2 – More concise title; prefix is unnecessary disambiguation. Virtually all the sources cited refer to the ship simply as Queen Mary 2. Similar situation as Queen Elizabeth 2. Sangdeboeuf (talk) 15:35, 12 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Mad Hatter (character) → Mad Hatter (DC Comics) – Despite the disambiguator, the current title is rather ambiguous, as it could just as likely be referring to the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland character also commonly referred to by this name. I also think the current title should be redirected to either the Alice character or Mad Hatter (disambiguation). vaporgaze💬 15:13, 12 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Welcome Back, My Friends, to the Show That Never Ends ∽ Ladies and Gentlemen → Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends – Ladies and Gentlemen – This article has been moved five times before, but has never been the subject of an RM discussion. The title currently includes two commas and a "∽" and "and". I particularly dislike the "∽" per WP:TSC. According to Wikipedia "∽" is some sort of math character that is sometimes used to indicate proportionality. The album is named primarily after the opening phrase of Karn Evil 9 2nd Impression, which is also a classic opening line for a travelling carnival. On the AllMusic article title there are no commas, there is capitalization per the current article title, a colon, and an ampersand instead of "and". The cover art shown on Amazon.com has only one comma (which is oddly spaced), uses sentence case for the part before the "∽" and title case for "Ladies and Gentlemen" and uses "∽" and "and", and there is a line break after the "∽" (and there is no space before the "∽"). The cover art shown on AllMusic is very similar but is purple instead of black and omits the strange space before the comma. Amazon.com's product title uses no commas and has capitalization per the current article title, and has a hyphen and "and". Some sources use a colon or a dash. I wonder whether the full title (with the subtitle) is really necessary – see WP:SUBTITLE. In the ELP discography article, the title is simplified to Welcome Back My Friends..., which is also found (with or without the ellipsis) in off-Wikipedia sources as seen by a web search. Note that sentence case may be justifiable under MOS:INCIPIT. I also wonder about the capitalisation of "That" and MOS:CT. Sources are generally mixed. The audio of the song contains no pauses between words that would indicate the presence of commas – the words are all strung together rather rapidly. Additionally, it seems that the band name on the cover is intended to be read as part of the title, so that the full title is a sentence to introduce the band at their live performance, saying "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show That Never Ends... Ladies and Gentlemen, Emerson, Lake & Palmer!" Note that there is has been a redirect with that longer string since 2008. —BarrelProof (talk) 18:20, 4 March 2020 (UTC)—Relisted. – Ammarpad (talk) 23:39, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Ennahdha Movement → Ennahda Movement – Unfortunately, the page was moved without discussion, at the supposedly uncontroversial technical request of User:HapHaxion. The reason was that this were the "official spelling used by the party". However, the Wikipedia policy for article titles does not necessarily prefer official names. Instead, the policy is to use the most common name of the subject used in independent, reliable English-language sources. Both in news media and in academic publications, the prevalent spelling is "Ennahda", without 'h' after the 'd'. See e.g. Google News, Books, Scholar. Therefore, the move should be undone.

- (Discuss) – I Love Me → I Love Me (film) – Only other "I Love Me" with an article is a five-day-old song that is far too recent to be the primary topic. However, I feel it's still a far more likely primary topic than an Indian film that I can't find many reliable sources about via Google, and that peaked on Google Trends for a few months after its release in 2012 but has since dropped significantly in popularity and now mostly gains interest in Asia. The song can stay where it is for now, but I don't think the film should be at the basename. vaporgaze💬 18:18, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – COVID-19 vaccine → Coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine research – Current title gives the impression that there already exist a vaccine. We should be very clear that this is not the case. In addition, this article documents the research into a vaccine, so that should be in the title. See earlier discussion. The title COVID-19 vaccine research is also fine by me, the purpose of this RM is to append research to the title. ― Hebsen (talk) 17:06, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Also, here is what James Russell states in his work "Zoroastrianism in Armenia, p. 170": "In his inscription at Paikuli, Narseh refers to one Trdat, king of Armenia. Since the inscription was made in 29 3-4, it cannot refer to a Tiridates who was not yet king. Toumanoff therefore suggests that Xosrov was killed by Tiridates III, his brother, the Anak of the legend, who was made king of Armenia by the Sasanians; Xosrov's son, Tiridates IV, escaped to Rome and returned to take the throne in 298." There are lot of other sources who use the regnal number IV for this "Tiridates", such as the The Oxford Handbook of Iranian History, The Wiley Blackwell Companion to Zoroastrianism and so on.--HistoryofIran (talk) 01:40, 11 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex → Meghan Markle – It is evident that Meghan Markle remains her WP:COMMONNAME. #She has a notable career in her own right as Meghan Markle. #Reliable sources have continued to widely refer to her as Meghan Markle (often she and her husband are referred to in this way:
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle[4]
). #She and her husband have clearly indicated an intention to step back from being "senior" royals and also to markedly reduce their use of titles and styles for both themselves and their son. #The move to "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex" was contentious in the first place and based on an assumption that reliable sources would eventually start referring to her as such; however few sources refer to her using the current title "Meghan, Duchess of Sussex". #Wallis Simpson, who married a king and not someone just 6th in line, and who had no notable career in her own right as "Wallis Simpson", is still titled Wallis Simpson and not Wallis, Duchess of Windsor. #And finally, some editors would argue that the current title of the article that treats her as an appendage to her husband, is quite anti-modern and reflects outdated values, particularly for someone with their own career and who is commonly known under her original name in reliable sources. (Note, per RM guidelines RMs are not expected to be "neutral" but to make a case for moving the article). --Tataral (talk) 18:32, 2 March 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – List of European rivers with alternative names → European rivers' alternative names – As a matter of basic editing, move article to more natural name. Note that every river in Europe certainly has multiple names, while this list probably does not include every one, contrary to implication of its current title. This is a list of sets, one for each river, of the more commonly used names, indirectly sourced to coverage in the individual rivers' articles. Doncram (talk) 22:53, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Dracula (1931 English-language film) → Dracula (1931 film) – This article should be called Dracula (1931 film) or Dracula (film). The Dracula (1931 film) is an unnecessary disambiguation page created by Fortdj33 in 2014 to "To disambiguate from Spanish-language film". However, the Spanish language film is simply called Dracula (film) which makes this disambiguation page unnecessary and makes things more complicated while titles should be kept as simple as possible. Or, Dracula (1931 English-language film) could be simply moved to Dracula (film) since the article for the English-language film was created before and the English-language film is way more recognizable than the Spanish-language film, hence, people searching on Wikipedia search way more for the English-language film.

- (Discuss) – KLEA-FM (New Mexico) → ? – Recent page moves — this was previously at simply KLEA-FM — have added a parentheses disambiguator to presumably remove any ambiguity with the current KLEA (FM) — but the "new" KLEA is also located in New Mexico, so that alone might not be the best disambiguator. Not entirely sure what the correct one should be, but KLEA (defunct), the first title this article was moved to, isn't correct either; earlier RMs at other articles have deprecated "defunct" as a disambiguator, the official call sign was KLEA-FM with the "-FM" suffix (the naming conventions for North American broadcast stations have long said that article titles reflect the official call sign, but have no set standard for defunct stations' disambiguators), and there is an equally-defunct KLEA (AM). The two most logical options I can think of are KLEA-FM (Lovington, New Mexico) (the current KLEA (FM) is licensed to serve Hobbs instead) or KLEA-FM (1965–2017) (it never had any other call sign, limiting the confusion that may or may not otherwise exist with that disambiguator), but there might be other paths as well.

- (Discuss) – James Charles (Internet personality) → James Charles – Only three other people with this name, all of whom seem relatively unknown compared to the YouTuber. The Internet personality also dominates search results for just "James Charles" and when I Googled the others one by one, I didn't get many relevant results, and a few results related to the YouTuber managed to creep in. The Internet personality also has page views in the millions whereas the other three barely get any, and the fact that the dab page easily comes in second place suggests that people are ending up there while searching for the YouTuber.

- (Discuss) – Crusader states → Outremer – There has been a long debate on scope and definition of the Crusades at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Crusades.

I don't think this is part of the earlier Houthi rebellion because it marked a substantial escalation in terms of the scale of attacks and territorial gains. I also don't think this is part of a coup d'etat because the Battle of Sanaa lasted four months, and coups don't last four months, but a few days. The Saudis only intervened when the civil war was pointing towards a Houthi victory (what I mean is that the Saudis didn't start the war, they decided to intervene during a civil war).

- (Discuss) – Moritz, Landgrave of Hesse → Moritz von Hessen – The current article title gives the impression that his title is Landgrave of Hesse. In fact, like all German nobility, the Landgravate was abolished a century ago. His surname is "Prinz und Landgraf von Hessen", just like it is for everyone in his family, but this is not a title and it shouldn't be treated as such or translated into English. It's just a last name. German Wikipedia simply calls him "Moritz von Hessen", and it makes sense to follow their lead. Smurrayinchester 10:00, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Donatus, Landgrave of Hesse → Heinrich Donatus von Hessen – The current title suggests that "Landgrave of Hesse" (Landgraf von Hessen) is his title. In fact, like all German "titles", "Prinz und Landgraf von Hessen" is just a surname and carries no meaning beyond that. We wouldn't put a comma in the title of, say, "Angela, Merkel" or "Bastian, Schweinsteiger", nor would we translate their surnames into English ("Bastian, of Schweinsteig"). "Heinrich Donatus von Hessen" is the title the German Wikipedia uses, and seems like the best combination of names. Smurrayinchester 09:38, 8 March 2020 (UTC)

However, the least identifiable "Heart and Soul" main title header is "Heart and Soul" (1938 song) although it was written by two top-tier names in the history of songwriting and popular music, as depicted here, on the original music sheet.

- (Discuss) – Trials of Mana → Seiken Densetsu 3 – This article about the 1995 Famicom game, not its 2019 rerelease, or its upcoming remake, so it should have never been moved to Trials of Mana. Looking at the sourcing used in this very article, they all continue to use the name Seiken Densetsu 3 when writing about the original release, the upcoming remake, and the collection that was released. This is after all how English sourcing has referred to it for over 20 years. More recent reliable sources continue referring to the game by this name, and use Trials of Mana to refer exclusively to the rerelease/upcoming remake. Examples of this include: Nintendo Life, Gematsu, Destructoid. From this, I think it is safe to say that the WP:COMMONNAME is still Seiken Densetsu 3. Alt (talk) 06:49, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Behavioral operations research → Behavioral operations – Propose to rename the article Behavioral Operations, and refer to Behavioral Operations Research and Behavioral Operations Management only as alterantive names in the first introduction sentence. Whilst Operations Research and Operations Managment are indeed two different fields with very high overlap, the differences with respect to behavioral research are completely blurred. For instance, is behavioural research on supply chains, the knapsack problem, the newsvendor problem, human factor engineering or the bullwhip effect Behavioral Operations Research or Behavioral Operations Management? It probably depends whether one asks an OR or OM researcher; i.e. the naming is a matter of personal preferences. Therefore Behavioral Operations has been established as neutral term, for instance in the perhaps most influential theory paper on this topic by Gino & Pisano (2008),[1] as well as a recent literature review by by Dohan et al. (2020).[2] Both articles are published in Manufacturing & Service Operations Management, the third best journal in the field (Management Science and Operations Research do not publish such kind of reviews).

- (Discuss) – Alp → Alp (disambiguation) – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC to allow for making Alp a WP:PRIMARYREDIRECT to Alps. The use of "alp" as a reference to a single alp in the Alps is far more common than any other use listed on the dab page, as demonstrated by the page view stats. Also, per WP:ASTONISH. People searching with "alp" are most likely looking for the Alps article. I just did exactly that search (for "alp") and was astonished to be taken to a dab page full of obscure uses of the term. A hatnote at Alps sending the occasional searcher for one of the obscure uses back to the dab page will be quite adequate for handling those rare cases. Finally, anyone linking to alp in article text almost certainly intends the Alps connotation, so it should redirect accordingly.

#The addition of the country or other clarifying adjective can be used to further disambiguate.
This means that Channel 33 (Israel) does not follow the guideline. As it uses the country name and not the media type and not the country adjective. Instead of fighting this issue over and over, if one disagrees with how the guideline is written, they should seek consensus to change it, and not try and force WP:LOCALCONSENSUS.

That name already redirects to this page. The short title can redirect to this for now, but Goodreads lists 129 books with "The Hope of Glory" as an element of the title, including multiple books denoted by that name alone. The Hope of Glory is also a theological concept, so it is likely that a disambiguation page would eventually be required. This new book is just one in a long list of works with the title, some notable, others not. It is WP:TOSOON to assert that this book is so notable it deserves the primary use of the term.

, WP:ACRONYMTITLE:Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation [...]. One general exception to this rule deals with our strong preference for natural disambiguation.
) * Background: ETA is the abbreviation for Euskadi Ta Askatasuna. The abbreviation is overwhelmingly more used in routine press coverage both in English and Spanish, but the full name is still used in the press. In recent years, I've seen the full name increasingly present in the press, since now the press tends to do in-depth articles rather than routine coverage. * Search test: Note that a search test is futile, since the high ambiguity of the abbreviation ETA. * Note that both Spanish and Basque Wikipedias use the full name (eu, es). These Wikipedias have different policies though, so I'm just noting this as context. MarioGom (talk) 09:35, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Jordanian annexation of the West Bank → Jordanian occupation of the West Bank – This is referred to as an annexation while the Israeli annexation of the Golan is referred to as an “occupation”. Both offer full citizenship, both faced limited recognition internationally (both even were recognized by one member of the UN Security Council), and both faced push back against sovereignty from parts of their respective populations (however, both were not conquered from a previous sovereign, as the West Bank had no sovereign while Golan did; if this is relevant though, then the current Israeli occupation of east Jerusalem ought to be characterized as an annexation (wouldn’t apply to the rest of the West Bank given Israel’s lack of claim at this moment to the area). I propose the name of this article be changed to “occupation” or the Israeli occupation of the Golan henceforth be referred to as an “annexation” given the similarities between the situations. This would harmonize terminology, as behooves any encyclopedia. Zarcademan123456 (talk) 20:11, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Khanpur → Khanpur, Rahim Yar Khan – With a population of over 180,000, this Khanpur is probably the biggest of them all. However, there are just too many settlements with the name out there: leaving aside all the villages, there are at least six towns; just like the present Khanpur, most of them are also tehsil headquarters. As for the disambiguator to use, I opt for "Rahim Yar Khan" to avoid confusion with the other towns in Punjab (Indian and Pakistani), although the argument can be made that this article can be the primary topic for Khanpur, Punjab. – Uanfala (talk) 23:01, 25 February 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. —Nnadigoodluck🇳🇬 13:57, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Regional councils of Sweden → Regions of Sweden – “Regional council” as a translation of “region” seems to be made up on Wikipedia. I checked the websites of the regions, and out of the 21 regions, 9 had either no English website at all or only a machine translation, 2 still used the term “county council” (translation of the old “landsting”), and 5 used the term “region”. 3 regions (Norrbotten, Värmland and Västra Götaland) use “region” in their names, but still call themselves “county councils”. Another 2 regions (Västernorrland and Örebro) also used “region”, but since they are missing the possessive apostrophe I don’t think their translations can be relied upon. No region used “regional council” except Västra Götaland which used it as a translation of “regionfullmäktige”. This translation is also used by the Government Offices of Sweden. Based on this, I think we should use “region” and “regional council” as translations of “region” and “regionfullmäktige”, respectively. The Regions of Sweden page currently redirects to a section about a proposed merger of the current counties, I think it can be replaced by this article since someone who searches for “Regions of Sweden” is probably more likely to be looking for the current regions. 0x9fff00 (talk) 12:44, 4 March 2020 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – John and Marsha (single) → John and Marsha – Both these articles currently use disambiguators, while the proposed renamed pages without disambiguators are currently both redirects, and confusingly, both are redirects to this article, not one redirect to each article, as you might imagine. I think there's enough difference in the titles and in the subjects that a hatnote could be used to direct people looking for the other article, e.g. "For the song/sitcom, see..." or "Not to be confused with ..." (after all, an American comedy song and a Filipino sitcom are two very different things). The alternative is to make one of the current redirects a DAB page... but then which one? There's a good argument that there ought to be a DAB page for "John en Marsha" anyway, as there are articles for both the sitcom and the film John en Marsha Ngayon '91 which is based on the sitcom.

- (Discuss) – Communist rebellion in the Philippines → CPP–NPA–NDF conflict – This article should not be named "Communist rebellion in the Philippines," since that sidelines some significant movements, notably the PKP-1930, the CPLA, and the ABB-RPA. It also effectively sidelines Marxist-Leninist history in favor of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist history. This is why this insurgency is so poorly understood by the public. My proposal is that this article be renamed "CPP-NPA-NDF Rebellion," and that "Communist rebellion in the Philippines" be made a redirect to "Communism in the Philippines," which covers all the movements, from the Unión Obrera Democrática right on up to the present. CPP, NPA, and NDF should remain their own articles although they are linked, because there are key differences in the strucutre and funciton of each organization. Additionally: the WP:NPOV title for this is "conflict", not "rebellion" or "insurrecton." Unless what we want is a review of the conflict from a tactical/strategic standpoint, but that does not seem to be the intent of this article. Also, note that CPP-NPA-NDF is accepted and used Philippine Government Security Agencies such as the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process, as demonstrated on their website at https://peace.gov.ph/timeline/peace-process-cpp-npa-ndf/ .

- (Discuss) – Boney M. → Boney M – Both the proposed name (i.e. no full stop) and the current name (i.e. with full stop) are used by news articles. Books may have used either one as well, but may more likely recently omit full stop. (eBook edition of band member's autobiography uses full stop.) Even if the full stop is part of the band's official name, seems that the one without the full stop is more commonly used. Somehow, Google wouldn't exclude the name with the full stop in search results for some technical reason. Checking sources from this and last year, Billboard uses full stop. PhilStar omits full stop. (More sources listed below.) I think omitting the full stop is more beneficial for most readers, including those preferring to not using it for manual searches. Also, per WP:DIVIDEDUSE, if I'm proven wrong, and if both the proposed and current names are commonly used, then the proposed name is less surprising than the current one because, I think, many people don't expect the full stop to be there. Moreover, per WP:CRITERIA, it's consistent with articles like Melody (Japanese singer), Janet (album), and Gangsta (manga). If the article were to be moved, then other articles using the band's name should be moved as well. George Ho (talk) 21:41, 23 February 2020 (UTC)—Relisting. Jerm (talk) 19:25, 1 March 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Hindustani → Hindustani (disambiguation) – In our article Hindustan, we single out two uses of the adjective 'Hindustani' for mention: the ethnic and the linguistic. However, for only one of these, the linguistic one, do we bother with an article (Hindustani language) -- Hindustani people is just a redirect to 'Hindustan'. Thus the language article functions as the primary topic. Also, although it's a bit difficult to compare, because both uses usually are worded simply as 'Hindustani', Ngram[13] shows that 'Hindustani language' is far more common than 'Hindustani people'. Thus 'Hindustani' should redirect to 'Hindustani language' (with a hat note to the dab page, of course). — kwami (talk) 04:43, 16 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. — Amakuru (talk) 13:09, 27 January 2020 (UTC) —Relisted.

However, when the all-time view counts are compared, this film only comes in fifth, though this may be due to this article being moved to its current title literally two weeks ago (not too sure how that gadget works in regard to recently moved articles), especially since the view counts for the past twenty days tell a different story.

- (Discuss) – Dhammakaya Movement → Dhammakaya tradition – Per reasons provided by Wikiman above: "First, the article and sources define it as a Thai Buddhist tradition, so it would be perfectly accurate to call it such and would be a superior way to convey information to readers quicker. Second, it is noted by Newell[14] on pages 15–16 that the term Dhammakaya Movement is sometimes used interchangeably with Wat Phra Dhammakaya by various scholars, which can be very confusing, especially if a reader was to do further reading and read stuff about the Dhammakaya Movement when the scholar or source was really just talking about Wat Phra Dhammakaya specifically. Since this page is clearly about the wider tradition that began at Wat Paknam that just happens to include Wat Phra Dhammakaya as well as several other temples, it would be beneficial if we titled the article in a way that makes the distinction clear. Dhammakaya tradition would be good way to do this, and it would still be very much accurate, since it is a Buddhist tradition."

- (Discuss) – Rafeiro do Alentejo → ? – Per WP:USEENGLISH we should not have this at the Portuguese name when formal English ones are available and well-attested. However, in this case, we have a tough choice. While Alentejo Mastiff is used by one American kennel club, the international one, Fédération Cynologique Internationale (FCI), uses the "Portuglish" Rafeiro of Alentejo, which isn't really ideal, though FCI is a more reliable/influential/reputable source than a single national registry with no connection to the native country of the breed nor with any efforts at the breed's establishment (possibly important is that the Portuguese Kennel/Cynological Club, who developed the breed standard, is an FCI national affiliate). However, rafeiro is technically a misnomer, meaning 'mongrel' or 'mutt', and refers to the original foundation stock being landrace animals with no pedigree history. Another American registry provisionally recognizes the breed under its original Portuguese name, Rafeiro do Alentejo; but provisional recognition is basically meaningless, and breed names often change by the time they are fully accepted (if ever; given the low breeding numbers of this variety, never is actually fairly likely). At first, I leaned toward Alentejo Mastiff as more precise in a sense, as well as a bit more concise, but in the end I lean more toward FCI as simply a more important source of names, with international standardization, and because the misnomer isn't transparent in English and only matters to people fluent in Portuguese. This is obscure enough a topic that I don't think a typical WP:COMMONNAME analysis can reliably be done; there will be a lot of statistical skew due to online dog forums and so forth being pro- or anti- particular kennel clubs, etc. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 08:54, 21 February 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.

- (Discuss) – TV Nova (Czech Republic) → TV Nova (Czech TV station) – The article lead says this is a TV station. So following from WP:NCBC this would be the correct disambiguation.

- (Discuss) – A-Channel (Craig Media) → A-Channel (TV network) – The current title is uncommon disambiguation not supported by WP:NCBC. According to the article, The A-Channel is a television system. According to television system
in Canada, a television system is a group of television stations which share common ownership, branding and programming, but which for some reason does not satisfy the criteria necessary for it to be classified as a television network under Canadian law. As the term "television system" has no legal definition, and as most audiences and broadcasters usually refer to groups of stations with common branding and programming as "networks" regardless of their structure, the distinction between the two entities is often not entirely clear; indeed, the term is rarely discussed outside the Canadian broadcasting enthusiast community
. Seeing as how the article says that the definition of "television system" israrely discussed outside the Canadian broadcasting enthusiast community
, that seems like using "television system" as disambiguation would be MOS:JARGON and per WP:RECOGNIZABILITY should be avoided. So per WP:NCBC "(TV network)" is the better option. Gonnym (talk) 14:43, 19 February 2020 (UTC) —Relisting. Jerm (talk) 18:11, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – The Family Channel (American TV network) → ? – also The Family Channel (United States). These two networks/channels called "The Family Channel" are for two different networks, by two different entities that operated in the United States in different time periods. However, while I realize this is not a standard proposal, as one is an article and the other is a redirect, almost all the google search results I get when searching for "The Family Channel" are for the 1980s-1990s channel. Even when viewing the Page views one can see that the page History of Freeform (TV channel) gets much more page views. While by itself not enough, looking at how high the page views are for The Family Channel, the dab page, which even it has a higher monthly view count than this page (and the dab page doesn't even link to the history page), suggests that readers are not landing on the page they are looking for. This scenario while not standard, is causing harm that a hatnote cannot solve. Not only can readers be confused (see WP:ASTONISH), even editors are incorrectly linking articles to the wrong "The Family Channel" - Solid Gold (TV series) links here instead of to the original network, and Category:The Family Channel original programming is meant for the original network as well. All this points to me that the title "The Family Channel (American TV network)" and it's derivatives (including "The Family Channel (United States)") are ambiguous (see WP:INCDAB) and should be further disambiguated to differentiate between the two, and the title redirected to the dab page. This will allow easier finding for readers, and allow bot warnings for editors linking to the incorrect page. Regarding the proposed names, I really have no clue what the optimal names should be as Wikipedia:Naming conventions (broadcasting) does not give an example for such situations.

- (Discuss) – Catholic Diocese of Helsinki → ? – This move (and the broader, associated moves), are to deal with a small, but longstanding problem in the Catholic diocese pages. Ever since Roman Catholic Church the move has been to depreciate the naming convention from Roman Catholic to Catholic. However, most of the diocese pages remain as Roman Catholic diocese of X to reflect their identity as latin rite parishes. Thus the name has a functional, (and quite useful purpose). This has been extended to other rites, ie, Byzantine Catholic, and allows for disambiguation, ie, two dioceses that occupy the same physical area, (or city), but differ in their rites. Therefore, I propose this solution. For all Latin rite dioceses that are currently not named Roman Catholic diocese of X per the naming convention, that they will be changed back to Roman Catholic diocese of X. I am happy to do all the moves manually with the help of administrators to deal with the page histories, and with the redirects, etc. When we did this before Anthony Applewhite helped me do this. This would resolve the haphazard approach of previous requested moves that have resulted in some pages being Catholic diocese of X, while 95 percent of the 3k diocese articles are Roman Catholic diocese of X. Unlike some of the other changes which were cosmetic, the naming convention Roman Catholic conveys additional meaning that is lost from the change to Catholic diocese of X. This discussion has long been percolating over individual move discussions, so I think it's finally time to have this discussion here. Benkenobi18 (talk) 04:38, 16 February 2020 (UTC) —Relisting.
