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; for example, 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 and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be 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

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

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 previous 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 a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. 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

Shortcuts

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

  • To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

    {subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=reason for move}

    This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
  • If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
  • If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves

Shortcuts

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. 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

Shortcut

To request a single page move, click on the "New section" (or "Add topic") tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/header, inserting this code: 

{subst:requested move|New name|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. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}

Replace New name with the requested new name of the page (or with a simple question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move 12 February 2024" 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 affected page:

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)}

The |1= unnamed parameter is not used. The |current1= and |new1= parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.

Requesting multiple page moves

Shortcut

A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected pages, 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
| current1 = Current title of page 1
| 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. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.
}
See also: Template:Requested move/extended blank

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

Shortcut

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. Such requests may be completed as a request to decide the best new title by discussion.

If a disambiguation page is in the way of a move, the request may be completed as proposing to add (disambiguation).

Commenting on a requested move

Shortcut

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 "• Support Oppose".

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

Shortcut

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 should be done using {subst:RM relist}, 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 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}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.

Notes

  1. ^ 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.
  2. ^ Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.

February 11, 2024

  • (Discuss) – Hoysala Empire → Hoysala Kingdom – Modyfying my earlier request. This Appears to be WP:COMMONNAME based on This Search. The Hoysalas were a regional power in Southern India so calling them an Empire is inaccurate. SKAG123 (talk) 23:46, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Flint (disambiguation) → Flint – Although the rock is probably primary by long-term significance it doesn't appear to be by usage. The rock has 15,744 views but the Michigan one has 16,866, G.I. Joe has 1,586, the band has 1,315, the Flintshire one has 1,217, the film has 783, the Texas one has 467, the automobile has 202, the railway station has 121, the Marvel Comics has 92, the given name has 91, the surname has 86, the Ohio one has 57, the Indiana one has 23, the Georgia one has 23, the Washington one has 23, the theatre has 18, the Kentucky one has 17, the Mother 3 has 5, the Pokémon has 5 and the West Virginia one has 4. Flint water crisis has 20,453 and Captain Flint has 9,151[[1]]. Google returns the rock and Flintshire one probably partly due to my location. Neither the Michigan nor Flintshire one make reference to their name coming from the rock and the Michigan one is important because of the motor industry and the Flintshire one is important due to giving its name to a county. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:13, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Scania Regional Council → Region Skåne – The move discussion above is dated and confused. According to their own webpage, the preferred term in Englosh is "Region Skåne".[2] Same goes for other regions like Västra Götaland[3] and by SALAR, the collaborative organization representing all Swedish municipalities and regions.[4] The term "regional council" is something that seems to have been simply made up by Wikipedians. No sources appear to have ever been provided to back up the term "regional council". Peter Isotalo 17:57, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Queer art → LGBT art – "LGBT art" is more commonly used than "queer art" and more inclusive. LGBT is also the standard naming pattern for LGBT/Q topics on Wikipedia. Bohemian Baltimore (talk) 14:38, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Bicameral mentality → Bicameralism (psychology) – The term 'bicameral mentality' is not common usage. For an article solely about Julian Jayne's theory, 'Bicameral mind' was the term he used. But this article professes a broader scope. Bicameralism is the most applicable term and Bicameralism (psychology) is used elsewhere and would seem to be the most applicable disambiguation. Skyerise (talk) 14:09, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Backstreet Boys (1996 album) → Backstreet Boys (international album) – WP:ALBUMDAB advises readers to use year when same performer has two albums or more with similar name, but it isn't absolute. My proposal should have clearer disambiguation than year ones, even when they would make the title somewhat longer. Also, albums are one year apart, and I don't know whether most readers know or care when those albums were released. George Ho (talk) 08:14, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – 2023 Marrakesh–Safi earthquake → 2023 Al Haouz earthquake – I haven't come across any web page title that uses "Marrakesh Safi" when describing this earthquake besides some mirror sites. "Al Haouz earthquake" and "Morocco earthquake" are the two most common names circulating; I'm requesting to move to the former title as Morocco is a very large country and this earthquake only affected a limited area of the country. Al Haouz follows the ISC OEB event code, USGS event page and a number of scientific/local publications. Dora the Axe-plorer (explore) 00:51, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Night Swim (film) → Night Swim – Seems to be the clear primary topic, grossing $44 million and all-in-all being a pretty big phenomena. 600k+ monthly views after release (down from its peak), the two-entry dab is at 2k monthly views, and the album is at 200 monthly. (Not sure why the film is listed secondly on the dab page, but ah well.) Utopes (talk / cont) 00:23, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

February 10, 2024

  • (Discuss) – Ehlers–Danlos syndromes → Ehlers–Danlos Syndrome – This may be the wrong place for this, but I was unable to move this page to a page with the correct title. An editor misunderstood the action of a consortium that met in 2017 and mistakenly thought the consortium undertook to rename the disorder. That particular consortium did not undertake to rename it, its mission was completely different. Consortiums have no authority to name or rename medical disorders. This disorder is and has always been called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, as it is referred to by the American Medical Association (AMA), the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the New England Journal of Medicine, and the European Health Union. What a consortium - any consortium - chooses to call it is irrelevant. Also, the redirect of "Ehlers-Danlos syndrome" is inaccurate. Please see the Talk page for a full, in-depth explanation. MarydaleEd (talk) 02:18, 3 February 2024 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). – robertsky (talk) 22:45, 3 February 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – Hilst [talk] 23:00, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Hypoxia (environmental) → Hypoxic waters – Alternative solution to merging this article into Eutrophication. Also, the current name of this article is somewhat ambiguous and the article mainly talks about hypoxia in water anyways. Also, the new title will better match up with the Anoxic waters. Enoryt nwased lamaj (talk) 21:32, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – The Royal Hotel (film) → The Royal Hotel – This film article is one of two topics specifically called "The Royal Hotel", the other being the hotel article The Royal Hotel (South Africa). (There are other topics called just "Royal Hotel" without "The", see disambiguation page Royal Hotel.) Comparing the two articles' specific title, the film is far more significant in terms of page views (see link and reliably-sourced coverage. If moved, the film article can directly refer to the hotel article and also point to the disambiguation page in case any reader really types "The Royal Hotel" in reference to any of the topics that don't actually have "The" in front of it. Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 16:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Doner kebab → Döner – Kebab and Döner are different things. A döner is not a kebab and a kebab is not a döner. Döner is a shorter and more known name for the döner. I get way more hits with döner anyways. It is also desirable for the page name to be Doner. Either way, both Döner and Doner are accurate titles. Youprayteas (talk to me? | contribs) 13:22, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Belarusian and Russian partisan movement (2022–present) → Russian partisan movement (2022–present) – Considering that there already is an article for the Belarusian partisan movement, I think this article should soley focus on the Russian partisan movement. We can then merge content about events in Belarus to the above-mentioned article. Charles Essie (talk) 18:14, 28 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 12:59, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Carson–Newman University → Carson-Newman University – Per WP:COMMONNAME, Carson-Newman and outside sources use a hyphen rather than a dash when referring to the school. Per MOS:ENBETWEEN we should "use a hyphen in compounded proper names of single entities.", which fits the history and name of C-N. I see no compelling reason to use an endash rather than a hyphen. glman (talk) 21:12, 21 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 20:26, 29 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 12:21, 10 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Royal standards of Canada → Royal flags of Canada – The previous RM (21 Nov 2023) shows that there is a consensus to move the article from its current title, the issue is finding an acceptable new title. This proposal simply replaces the word 'standards' with the word 'flags', which better reflects the sources used in the article. For example, the Government of Canada refer to the Canadian flags of the Royal Family and the Canadian Heraldic Authority to the Sovereign's Flag for Canada.

  • (Discuss) – Attribution of recent climate change → Causes of climate change – A lengthy discussion on this proposal has become stuck for some time now with some editors supporting this move and others opposing it. The people who support it feel that the new title would be clearer and would be what users are looking for (NB, the current article "causes of climate change" is a redirect to this article). Content about "attribution" (i.e. to know WHY something is the cause) could be reasonably included in an article called "causes of climate change". Those opposing the move feel that the article should for now remain under this title (or be moved to "Detection and attribution of climate change" (or similar) and that it should not be mainly about the causes but rather about "scientific attribution of climate change and its effects". I hope I have summarised the discussion from the talk page correctly. Looking for uninvolved editors to help get this discussion unstuck and to move forward. I think all the editors involved so far feel that the current status quo is not good, i.e. the current version of the article is not good / there is a mismatch with the title versus its content.

  • (Discuss) – 3100 W. Big Beaver Road → Kmart headquarters – WP:COMMONNAME, Most people refer this as "Kmart HQ" or a variation of that because it's well-known as Kmart's old headquarters. It is a well-known structure in Troy.

  • (Discuss) – Kurdish languages → ? – The title of this article could be either "Kurdish Language," aligning with the naming convention of other Wikipedia articles discussing "macro" languages or languages forming a dialect continuum, such as "Norwegian Language" or "Chinese Language," which are in a similar situation to Kurdish. Alternatively, we may consider simplifying it to just "Kurdish," similar to the "Arabic" Wikipedia article, thereby sidestepping any contentious debates and maintaining a neutral stance. It seems unjustified for Kurdish to be the only article labeled with "Languages" when there is no consensus on whether it comprises multiple related languages or a single language with various dialects.

  • (Discuss) – 2021 MPBL Finals → ? – A: 2020–21 MPBL Finals or B: 2020 MPBL Finals
    This is so that the Finals can remain connected with the league's 2019–20 season. In addition, the MPBL previously announced the cancellation of the 2020–21 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the same reason why the Finals was postponed from 2020 to 2021 in the first place.

  • (Discuss) – Onimai: I'm Now Your Sister! → Onimai – The official short name of the series in Japan is simply "Onimai" and is commonly referred to as just that by both Japanese and English fans. There has also been a move lately from including subtitles in article titles in anime articles per MOS:TITLE and WP:CONCISE (see Re:Zero as an example). There are also over a million hits on Google for just plain "Onimai" compared to around less than 400,000 with the full title.

  • (Discuss) – Overtime (sports) → Extra time – Per WP:NCDAB Natural disambiguation that is unambiguous, commonly used, and clear is generally preferable to parenthetical disambiguation.

  • (Discuss) – Weaponization of antisemitism → ? – There are (at least) two distinct meanings of the phrase "Weaponization of antisemitism"/"instrumentalization of antisemitism" as used in sources. One is the subject of this article, the potentially bad faith use of charges of antisemitism. Notably, none of the scholarly sources in this article use the word "weaponization" except in the context of advocacy. It is mostly WP:BIASED sources here that prefer the charged term "weaponization" in the meaing we write about here, so this title as it stands is arguably a POVNAME. The second meaning is the use of antisemitism by regimes such as the Soviet Union to undermine political opponents. Indeed, it is in this latter context that the phrase "weaponization of antisemitism" has a longer and more mainstream basis in scholarly literature ([6], [7], [8], [9], [10], among others). Thus when saying "weaponization of antisemitism", the current article fails WP:COMMONNAME. For NPOV, we must present a reader, scholar, or observer looking for "weaponization of antisemitism" with both options and not default to this much weaker case. Thus it is important, and more accurate, that this title is more focused to reflect the specific context the article refers to, with a second page on the other context. Simply put, it defies RS and is flat incorrect to say "weaponization of antisemitism" only refers to the use of the charge of antisemitism. Open to other ideas such as Bad faith charges of antisemitism, but the current title cannot stand for NPOV and accuracy reasons.

  • (Discuss) – 2024 Cicalengka station railway collision → 2024 Cicalengka railway collision – While the accident happened close to the Cicalengka Station, it didn't happened at the station area itself and thus the title should be "2024 Cicalengka railway collision". The article for the Indonesian Wikipedia also didn't mentioned "station" in its title. Jauhsekali (talk) 16:13, 9 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Breuil-Cervinia → Le Breuil, Aosta Valley – The autonomous region of Aosta Valley has changed the official name of this frazione (hamlet) to Le Breuil through a regional decree (Decreto 21 settembre 2023, n. 479, p.3433) in September 2023, bringing it back to its pre-fascist spelling. Since the name Le Breuil is shared between other francophone municipalities (in France), Aosta Valley at the end of the article title seems to be compliant with WP:PLACE and WP:CONSISTENT with similar locations (i.e. Châtillon, Aosta Valley). This doesn't affect the commercial name of the ski station, which will remain Cervinia, and which could theoretically be split from the article, given that Cervinia (the ski station) is not a CFORK of the article about the village of Le Breuil.

  • (Discuss) – Algos → Algea (mythology) – Hesiod does not refer to "Algos", but rather to the plural Ἄλγεα. See Most's Greek and translation, as well as Caldwell's translation and note. I have no opinion as to whether the mythological Algea or the company (currently at Algea) is the primary topic; if people feel that this page is the primary topic, then we could instead move the company to Algea (company), and this page to Algea. – Michael Aurel (talk) 23:06, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think → Factfulness – As MaxEnt already emphasized above, the title of this article is excessively long. The article is the primary (and only) topic for 'Factfulness'. The subtitle disambiguator is unnecessary and contradicts the guidance at WP:SUBTITLE and WP:CONCISE. I am not sure why the original discussion attempted to devalue these guidances. The 2018 RM was very flawed given the entire discussion revolved around citing WP:COMMONNAME without providing basic evidence unto that assertion. That discussion was essentially only initiated to undo a controversial move by an IP editor, which seemingly served as credibility for the move but distracted from the nominator's actual rationale (or lack thereof). One user described the current title as unambiguous, which is interesting considering 'Factfulness' is a neologism which exclusively refers to this book. The discussion concluded with a complaint regarding false assumptions, which was ironic given the stated rationale was readily accepted as true without proof (aka an assumption). I realize that I have belabored the point, but I do not believe we should accept for users to assert (without proof) that an extended, 95-character-long version of a title for which there is no other topic is the more commonly recognized name.
    Investigating its usage in the majority of reliable English-language publications, we can find no shortage[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] of the title referred to as simply Factfulness. Which is not to say the subtitle is never published, but it is no outweighing mountain. There is no prevalent usage that determines Factfulness: Ten Reasons We're Wrong About the World – and Why Things Are Better Than You Think to be the common name. Taking all of this into consideration, this article (a singular topic requiring no disambiguation) should be moved back to the book's more commonly recognized title proper. It precisely identifies the subject; it is short, natural, distinguishable and recognizable. Οἶδα (talk) 09:05, 8 February 2024 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Microchess → Microchess (software) – Microchess as a chess variant is mentioned in several books, including the Oxford History of Board Games, The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, and others. There's no real reason that just because the sources are offline, an actual type of chess should be supplanted entirely by a software program of the same name. As not all versions of it are actually video games, I used (software) as the disambiguation instead, but am open to alternate ones. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:46, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Erebus Ice Tongue → Erebus Glacier Tongue – "Erebus Glacier Tongue" is the official name, and the most common. Thus Alberts (1995) published by the published by the United States Board on Geographic Names on page 224 says  :Erebus Glacier 77°41'S, 167 A °00'E glacier draining the lower S slopes of Mount Erebus, Ross Island, and flowing W to Erebus Bay where it forms the floating Erebus Glacier Tongue. Named in association with Mount Erebus by the BrNAE, 1901-04, under Scott.  :Erebus Glacier Tongue 77°42'S, 166°40'E The seaward extension of Erebus Glacier from Ross Island, projecting into Erebus Bay where part of it is floating. Charted and named by the BrNAE under Scott, 1901-04. Search results are heavily polluted by Wikipedia clones, but a search on Google books for "Erebus Ice Tongue" shows the name last displayed in a snippet on results page 8, while "Erebus Glacier Tongue" is displayed in a snippet on results page 15.

  • (Discuss) – Bostock (disambiguation) → Bostock – Yet another dab page without a primary topic. Based on views alone, Bostock v. Clayton County would seem to be the primary topic, but trying duckduckgo and google also gives me tons of hits about some pastry called "Bostock" (which we don't seem to have an article on yet), and also this is another instance where everything on the dab page is super obscure, so I think giving the court case primary topic status would not be a good decision. (The suggested title of Bostock, Cheshire is per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (geographic names)#England, though I could have wanted Bostock, England as a title instead.)

  • (Discuss) – Blood Vessel → Blood vessel (disambiguation) – Given the occasional practice of body part names being capitalized (particularly in things like chapter headers and section titles of works), I don't think WP:DIFFCAPS applies strongly here, and I believe that the clear primary topic of Blood Vessel at this capitalization is the body part. The films are comparatively vanishingly obscure. BD2412 T 04:08, 7 February 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Castlevania (1986 video game) → Castlevania (video game) – Definitely the most-known game titled simply 'Castlevania'. A google search of "Castlevania" "video game" produces only series articles or articles about this game (It might eventually produce a non-NES article, but I haven't seen it). The video game disambig isn't even used for another game, so it's a bit of a waste, and people can be easily directed to the other entries with a disambignote at the top.

  • (Discuss) – Saks Fifth Avenue store building (Beverly Hills) → 9600 Wilshire Boulevard – 9600 and 9570 Wilshire Boulevard could be reasonably be considered "Saks Fifth Avenue store building (Beverly Hills)" at this point, and favoring this article for that title would contribute to confusion for readers who are unfamiliar with the minutia of this redevelopment project. Renaming this article by its street address and creating a disambiguation page of the original title (if need be) would rectify the incompleteness that this existing configuration suggests, and hatnotes could reasonably direct readers if they land on the wrong article. I might also suggest "Original Saks Beverly Hills" or something of the sort as an alternative. WikiRedactor (talk) 01:05, 7 February 2024 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Dazhou protests of 2007 → 2007 Dazhou protests – I'm still a newbie editor, but from what I've seen, the general title format for protests nearly always puts the year first, if the year is even specified at all.

  • (Discuss) – Grigore Antipa National Museum of Natural History → "Grigore Antipa" National Museum of Natural History – The text "Grigore Antipa" tends to be given in quote marks in renditions of the English name for the museum, just as in Romanian and French etc. E.g. File:1, Șoseaua Pavel D. Kiseleff, Bucharest (Romania) 3.jpg (a monument sign for the museum in Bucharest itself), the current website for a scientific journal published by the museum (here). Annoyingly though, it appears the official website for the museum itself no longer has English language translations, so unfortunately I can't get anything helpful from there.

Per WP:GENDER, I am still suggesting the article be moved away from "man-eater" (we don't have spaceman or waiter either).

  • (Discuss) – Shrovetide → Pre-Lent – This article was originally named 'Pre-Lenten Season' and this is what it describes. It was renamed 'Shrovetide' in 2016, based on a single reference that gives an incorrect definition (Gardner 2008). Shrovetide is however only the final three days of this period: the Oxford English Dictionary defines it as 'The period comprising Quinquagesima Sunday and the two following days, ‘Shrove’ Monday and Tuesday'. Shrovetide is identical to Carnival, which already has its own article. The pre-Lenten period is variously called 'pre-Lent', 'pre-Lenten period', 'pre-Lenten season', 'Septuagesima—Sexagesima—Quinquagesima', 'Septuagesima', 'Gesimatide', 'weeks before Lent' and probably other things – since it isn't a proper season, it doesn't have a formal name. (Cf. 'Vorpassionszeit' in German, 'Domenica di Settuagesima' in Italian.) 'Pre-Lent' is the most descriptive and neutral name that I can find in current scholarship, but I can see arguments for some of the other labels.

  • (Discuss) – Empire of Great Fulo → Denianke Kingdom – 'Empire of Great Fulo' is a name that was given by external observers (Europeans) to an African political unit, and not one that the Fula used themselves. In fact, contemporary Europeans seem to refer to the state more commonly as the land or empire of the Great Fulo (or some such variant) rather than an empire that is called 'Great Fulo'. Calling this state the 'Empire of Great Fulo' would be equivalent to calling the British Empire the 'Empire of Big British' or 'Empire of Queen.' While many articles and books talk about the 'Great Fulo' when quoting Portuguese sources, they generally do not refer to it as such in their own prose. Terms such as the "Denianke Kingdom' or the 'Denyankoobe' are more common. This is particularly true for Senegalese authors. Different spellings are possible, but I think any name that reflects local nomenclature is better than 'Empire of Great Fulo'. Catjacket (talk) 21:02, 4 February 2024 (UTC)

  • (Discuss) – Were → Were (word) – (other dab modifier suggestions welcome) Sure, this is part of the etymology of werewolf, but I can't imagine this is the primary topic readers expect to see at this title.

  • (Discuss) – 2024 missile strikes in Yemen → ? – There seems to be a good bit of discussion about the page title, and there have been a good number of bold moves as new information comes in. I think having a formal RM here to generate new titles would be helpful in keeping this organized, so I'm opening an open-ended one here. — Red-tailed hawk (nest) 14:39, 12 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 05:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Joga → Joga (disambiguation) – Move to make an "R from title without diacritics" primary redirect to Jóga. The only other topics at the dabpage are a barely-notable village and two PTMs. Jóga gets the quasi-totality of the pageviews.[68] 162 etc. (talk) 17:22, 13 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 20:32, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – NBA Conference Finals → NBA conference finals – Per MOS:CAPS, WP:NCCAPS, etc.; the only part of this that's consistently capped in sources, in sentence context, is the acronym NBA. "NBA Conference Finals", "NBA Conference Final", "NBA Conference", "Conference Finals", and plain "Conference" are not proper names, and are not close to consistently capped in sources. See discussion in section above. Dicklyon (talk) 16:43, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Holit massacre → Holit attack – The term "massacre" is loaded and thus WP:POVNAME. That would be ok if there was a "significant majority" of sources that called it that, but there aren't. Of the sources that were quoted for SIGCOV at the article's AfD, most used the word "attack" (emphasis mine): *The Guardian: "Shachar and Shlomi Matias, who died in the Hamas attack on Holit kibbutz" *New York Times: "was killed while at home in Kibbutz Holit during the Hamas-led terror attack on southern Israel." *Al-Jazeera: "Al Jazeera visited Holit, a kibbutz near Gaza which was attacked by Hamas fighters on October 7." *Politifact: "Vach was explaining the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Holit kibbutz". *Haaretz: "The tank operators who came with their tanks actually broke the attack [referring to the attack on Holit]" VR talk 04:26, 10 January 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. – robertsky (talk) 05:06, 17 January 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – 2024 Erbil attack → ? – It appears that they were coordinated attacks on targets in Syria and Iraq aimed at responding to the Kerman bombing and killing resistance leaders, as stated in the Iranian statement. Sakiv (talk) 00:28, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Frederik IX of Denmark → Frederik IX – He's the only monarch with this exact name, so we should move per WP:PRECISE, and the move will make the article title consistent with his daughter and now his grandson, whose name is spelled without the C. Векочел (talk) 01:56, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
    Note: A mistake on my part in saying Frederik IX was the only monarch with this name. He is the only king with this exact name. Векочел (talk) 09:21, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
  • (Discuss) – Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israeli attack on Gaza → Allegations of genocide by Israel in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war – See below. Aside from the above discussion of merging this article with Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, the title of this article is just weird. Yes, I assume that some editor(s) with a particular viewpoint/POV chose to name this article as a parallel with that one. However, as many folks have invoked in the aforementioned discussion, that's just a false parallel. The common name for Israel's action is a "war" (Gaza War, Israel-Hamas War, whichever) rather than an "attack". Wikipedia refers to 7 Oct as the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel (and frankly, that genocide allegation Wikipedia article title should be amended to match this "Hamas-led" usage, to maintain consistent terminology across Wikipedia) while it refers to the events encompassing the Israeli response as the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. If this article ends up merged, the proper title would likely be "Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war" or, for accuracy and completeness, "Allegations of genocide in the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel and Israel–Hamas war" (a bit long, but more precise and clear). For now, though, as a separate article, calling it the "Israeli attack on Gaza" is inconsistent with the terminology for this event in use elsewhere on Wikipedia and, more significantly, in widespread media coverage and public discourse.

  • (Discuss) – Azerbaijani-Mongolian cultural relations → Mongolian–Turkic cultural relations – In the AFD there seemed to be a least a somewhat of a consensus that this article is in need of drastic changes, including the removal of "Azerbaijani", which is WP:OR and historical revisionism/negationism as explained in the thread. Both the current article name and the suggested one are essentially Wiki names, I've not seen this being the actual title of a subject, which is what this article is making it out to be, but it's a start I guess.
