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, be bold and 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: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the top of the list, 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. the - 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.

Uncontroversial technical requests
- Wyant Group Raceway → Sutherland Automotive Speedway (move · discuss) – Race track renamed under new naming rights agreement effective February 1, 2022 Toontownrick (talk) 04:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Is this the new WP:COMMONNAME? -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:07, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment. There is no any inline citations that verify the new title where as in external links only one website has mentioned this name. Fade258 (talk) 14:17, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Administrator needed
- draft:Iqos → Iqos (redirect to Heated tobacco product) (move · discuss) – Hi everyone,
I submitted a draft:iqos back in December because of my CoI. The draft has already been reviewed positively (yay!) but according to the reviewer it appears that there is a redirect in the way that prevents a simple move. I did a bit of digging around and according to WP:RFD#DELETE a page can not be moved over a redirect if the latter has a history of its own (the target page has been renamed several times, and the redirect edited accordingly).
I've asked on the AfC Help desk and they confirmed this was the place to ask. Thanks Aphis Marta (talk) 11:22, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- Comment - @Aphis Marta: this page doesn't appear to be ready for main space yet. It has an orange COI tag on it, added by Robert McClenon. Until that issue is resolved satisfactorily, it should remain in draft space IMHO. Maybe get an opinion at WP:COIN if this is incorrect. Also, the template technically still says "review waiting". — Amakuru (talk) 12:40, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Amakuru: thanks for the quick reply! I discussed this with Robert McClenon at the time - the CoI declaration had been correctly made on the article talk page and it seems he wanted it to be a little more obvious but had no other issue to address. As for your suggestion that I go ask WP:COIN, happy to do so but most discussions I see are around undisclosed paid editing, not sure what their opinion on redirects could be (and 331dot at the AfC Help Desk did point me here, not there).
- I should also make it clear that I am actually not asking for the article to be moved to mainspace by you here but the default template made it so: I only need the redirect deleted so that AfC folks without admin rights can move the page themselves if/when they see fit. Thank you, --Aphis Marta (talk) 13:33, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Aphis Marta: Thanks, and I think the main thing is that if @Robert McClenon and 331dot: are happy that the draft is free of COI issues, then there's no problem doing as you ask. But if doubts remain then they should be handled in draft space rather than in article space. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 14:33, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

Contested technical requests
- Northcote (hotel) → Northcote, Lancashire (move · discuss) – Normal to DAB buildings by where not what, also may be ambiguous with Commons:Category:Northcote Hotel, Southsea, the Devon one and the East Riding of Yorkshire one is they are notable, alternatively move to Northcote (Lancashire) if brackets are better.

- The last move was also a bold move, not sure why that makes in controversial? Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
- The convention here (I don't think it's a formal rule?) is reverting bold moves is not controversial, but if moving to another location, if it's been moved before, it should got to full RM, because the previous mover thought it should be renamed to what they renamed it. -Kj cheetham (talk) 12:05, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- The last move was also a bold move, not sure why that makes in controversial? Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:07, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

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. 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, click on the "New section" tab of the talk page of the article you want moved, without adding a new subject/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. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}}
Replace NewName
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 16 February 2022" 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
| 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.
}}
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. Such requests may be completed as a request to decide the best new title by discussion.

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}}. 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.
This list is also available in a page-link-first format and in table format. 62 discussions have been relisted, indicated by (Discuss)
February 16, 2022
- (Discuss) – Brian Houston (pastor) → Brian Houston – As per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, the pastor is the main Brian Houston. In the past 90 days, his article has never gotten less than 100 hits (averaging around 200-300), while Brian Houston (musician) has never gotten more than 10 hits on one day. https://pageviews.toolforge.org/?project=en.wikipedia.org&range=latest-90&pages=Brian_Houston_(musician)%7CBrian_Houston_(pastor) . I suggest we also delete the disambig page and add a hatnote to Brian Houston pointing to the musician. Ich (talk) 11:09, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Los Angeles FC → Los Angeles Football Club – Three reasons: # It is the club name according the MLS Clubs official page. # Ten other clubs (1/3 of the league) has FC in their name in MLS Clubs - not Los Angeles Football Club. # WP:CRITERIA: It is the recognized name (as described in #1); More natural (as described in #2); Precise given there is a better known rival named LA Galaxy. Yurmix (talk) 09:31, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kefford Corporation → CDC Victoria – Kefford was sold to ComfortDelGro Australia in 2009 and was renamed CDC Victoria. This meant that the entity pre-2009 (Kefford) and the entity post-2009 (CDC Victoria) are the same. This included operations, subsidiaries and assets; the only thing changed was the branding of the Kefford company. The rebranding of subsidiaries is a separate issue and is just a reorganisation of the CDC Victoria structure. After the move, I also propose moving content from ComfortDelGro Australia#CDC Victoria and adding them to the bottom of the CDC Victoria article. The content in ComfortDelGro Australia (CDC Victoria section) can then be simplified to summarise the post-2009 history and operations. Marcnut1996 (talk) 09:29, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Auckland Domain → Pukekawa / Auckland Domain – This reflects the official name for the park changing from 'The Domain' to its original Māori name of 'Pukekawa' in 2014, as gazetted in the New Zealand Place Names register, and follows the precedent of using a slash for the names of New Zealand places, such as Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill and Maungawhau / Mount Eden which are both Auckland volcanoes and parks. A list of about 400 official and 200 unofficial dual place names in NZ, mostly using a slash, can be found here. Most have Wikipedia articles using the slash in the title. Pukekawa is registered as the approved name on BGN. As specified in the NZ Gazetteer link above, Auckland Domain on its own is not an official name, but using a dual name is helpful in identifying which Pukekawa is being referred to, and recognises the park's recent history and New Zealand's biculturalism. The dual name is used in official communication by Auckland Council (which operates the park) Auckland War Memorial Museum (which is sited on the park)[1][2][3][4], including their Curator Lucy Mackintosh, author of Shifting Grounds book,[5] and commonly by media and publishers such as The Spinoff,[6] Stuff,[7] The New Zealand Herald,[8] Radio New Zealand,[9] Bridget Williams Books,[10] Rough Guides,[11] Massey University Press[12] and Auckland University Press.[13] Note, the 'Ngā Mana Whenua o Tāmaki Makaurau Collective Redress Deed' and the NZ Gazetteer describe 'The Domain' as a 'hill' as it does the 15 other volcanic cone public reserves/parks covered by the Deed. The volcanoes/hills/maunga are the reserves/parks. Pukekawa is The Domain. This is also explained in this Herald article and the Council website page cited.[14] The Council website page explains the governing framework for the park includes the Auckland Domain Act 1987 which states 'Domain' means the 75 hectares of land also referred to as Auckland Domain. This pre-2014 New Zealand Geographic article confirms the Domain was called Pukekawa by Māori. In 2014, the 75 hectares of land called "The Domain" was officially changed back to "Pukekawa" in a Treaty of Waitangi Settlement.

While the name gets around 2 thirds of views of things called Macdonald/McDonald, 2,047 for the name 793 for Pennsylvania, 264 for Ohio, 255 for Kansas, 66 for Manitoba, 62 for North Carolina, 22 for West Virginia, 14 for the electoral district, 6 for Missouri and 5 for the crater, the restaurant gets 139,042 and Macdonald triad gets 13,927. The surname may be the original meaning but it doesn't seem primary especially when the "D" is capitalized. There is 1 given name namely Macdonald Carey so I have used "name" per WP:APOAT but Macdonald Carey could be moved to the DAB and we instead use Macdonald (surname) for the article.

- (Discuss) – 2008 United States presidential election in Guam → 2008 United States presidential straw poll in Guam – The title is misleading when it could be more precise. Straw polls aren't in any way synonymous to actual elections. Canada, if they so wish, may hold a straw poll for US president and it will still not be the same as an election. Straw polls have no legal significance. Comparing with other states makes no sense as other states don't find themselves in this same place. 2020 United States Shadow Senator election in the District of Columbia for example clearly denotes the fact that it is an election for Shadow Senator rather than simply using Senate as it is with other states. Because Shadow Senators aren't the same as actual Senators and have no legal significance either. Titles are the first thing an user sees, and the current title gives the false impression that Guam has presidential representation when in fact it does not. All while the title could've been much more precise or even exact. ---CX Zoom(he/him) (let's talk|contribs) 13:38, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Lega per Salvini Premier → Lega (Italy) – or Lega (political party) per WP:COMMONNAME. This party is never ever mentioned in the Italian nor English media with its full name, unless the article is specifically about the creation of such party and specifies its official name (also see the results of this search versus this one). Furthermore, 99% of the the times this article is wikilinked in another page on WP, it is always as either [[Lega per Salvini Premier|Lega]] or [[Lega per Salvini Premier|League]], because nobody wants to read its full official name. I prefer Lega (Italy) or Lega (political party) over League (Italy) for disambiguation purposes, since "league" is a very generic word in English (and "Lega" is also more commonly used to refer to this party even in English media).

However, following a discussion at WT:OLYMPICS we figured that a local consensus would be a reasonable exception given that every major sporting agency refers to the country as Timor-Leste (Olympics, Asian Games, FINA, etc). However, this move was overturned (we're apparently a "little-watched WikiProject") and so I am forced to seek a wider consensus. Primefac (talk) 09:23, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

This one has bothered me for some time; I have spent many years trying to verify the two-article split we have had since these articles were created almost-simultaneously by two different editors in 2005. We still have no sources justifying the split. Having just visited the place I can confirm that there really is only one place known as Medinet Habu. I think the confusion stems from the fact that there was once a village on the grounds of the temple,[15] presumably the same one in which the Coptic church once stood, but this has not existed for a long time.

- (Discuss) – 2021–2022 Myanmar insurgency → Myanmar Civil War (2021–present) – (Reopened request with the date added to the name to provide clarity) Rebels controlling half of the country? Death toll ranging in the thousands? Most articles calling this a civil war/war? Conflict meeting every aspect of a civil war (such as the territorial control possessed by rebel groups, full-scale offensives by sides in the war, etc), i think it’s time we stop unnecessarily rejecting the idea of changing the name of this article to what it should be called as it ruins the credibility of wikipedia.

Google results seem split between Andrew Fisher (political activist) and the politician and Andrew Fisher (Shazam) is also there.

I'm not sure where to move the other page, but I can see a potential confusion (one article is a list of champions by year and the other is a list of the # of major winners).

If you think an obscure painter from the 1800s is more of a """primary topic""" than someone who has had recent coverage in the news, then I feel that you are not considering the reader, as it would be an inconvenience for readers searching for one article to get directed to another. In my previous discussion, I noted that according to Toolforge's pageviews analysis, the trainspotter's article had an average of 992 views a day and 20,833 views in total, while the article about the painter had an average of 229 views a day with 4,816 views in total, and that most of the traffic to the painter's article is likely people looking for the trainspotter (as most RM participants should know that having the undisambiguated title gives a boost in view counts), and that Toolforge also shows a daily average of 6 views to the painter's article before the trainspotter became well-known. However, the trainspotter probably also shouldn't have the undisambiguated title because of WP:RECENTISM concerns, although the article about the trainspotter is clearly the most visited for the name at this point in time. Vaticidalprophet's comments in that discussion should also be looked at as well. wizzito | say hello! 20:24, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Reunification of Jerusalem → Israeli annexation of East Jerusalem – See the discussion preceding this RM. This article, together with the Jerusalem Law article are respectively, the de facto and de jure annexation of East Jerusalem. The proposed title is a redirect to the latter. Apart from renaming, a merge of the two articles can also be considered in the alternative, with this article being the history of the other. In the past, because Israeli authorities avoided using the term officially, there were some doubts about whether it was in fact an annexation but it is not denied nowadays and is now treated as such by Israeli courts.

- (Discuss) – Pākehā settlers → 19th century settlement of New Zealand – As was largely agreed above, the article's focus is, and should be, on the fact of the country's settlement, rather than on the particularities of the settlers themselves. With this focus on the country's (secondary) settlement, we should not exclude non-pākehā/European peoples who also play a vital part of the country's history (as Pākehā settlement of New Zealand would). This also has the warm side-effect of resolving any lingering dispute about the choice of wording between pākehā and European. The primary objection will be in setting such a narrowed timeframe. My impression is that the qualitatively different nature of settlement since 1900 (well after the dissolution of the New Zealand Company, as well as the gold rushes) means that it has been covered quite separately by the histories. And of course it can be included as a sort of epilogue within this article, as it already is. As initiator, I am open to alternative equivalent phrasings. For example, Settlement of New Zealand since 1839 offers the opportunity for a much more open-ended article that touches on immigration even into the 21st century. I would choose this option second though; as many of us know, Wikipedia articles can struggle under their own weight if they are left too open-ended, with a real risk of losing focus. If necessary, an article could be created in future, or a renaming and refocussing could be done if 20th century immigration burdens this article too heavily. — HTGS (talk) 09:22, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Hegira → Hijrah – It has been a long time now since the medieval Latin transliteration of "Hegira" has been used as the standard definition, common name or principle title used in tertiary sources for this event, which is far more commonly known as either "Hijrah" or "Hijra". Sources such as Encyclopedia Britannica and recent scholarly sources tend to prefer "Hijrah", as the "h" at the end is technically correct given the presence of a Taa Marbouta. This is well corroborated by many of the principle sources in the article here (e.g.: Shamsi, Marom). "Hegira" is a version that was a dominant term historically, but no longer in modern academic literature. The decline of the term is shown clearly in Ngrams, which also clearly shows the rise in "Hijra" as the more common colloquial expression of the term. However, for the purposes of Wikipedia, it seems fitting to stick with the more academically rigorous and reliable, secondary source-supported "Hijrah" with an "h", for both the reasons above and to prevent confusion with Hijra (South Asia), which refers to a transgender identity in India.

If I were searching for the Last Glacial Period you could even argue it would be WP:SURPRISE to send me to an article about the phenomenon of ice ages in general. In the absence of a true primary topic, the disambiguation page should be moved to it, as Ice age is the only potential topic not referred to with a proper noun. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 01:44, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Margaret Gardiner (Miss Universe) → Margaret Gardiner – This nomination is tangentially related to yesterday's Talk:Leila Lopes (Angolan actress)#Requested move 8 February 2022. A glance at Category:Miss Universe winners confirms that, among the 72 entries, only two — the unilaterally moved Margaret Gardiner (Miss Universe) and the unilaterally moved Leila Lopes (Angolan actress) — had been given parenthetical qualifiers to enable the creation of two-entry disambiguation pages. This entry was created in January 2006 as "Margaret Gardiner" and remained as such for eight years until it was unilaterally moved in January 2014 to Margaret Gardiner (beauty queen) so that the Margaret Gardiner disambiguation page could be created. The other Margaret Gardiner — Margaret Gardiner (artist) — was not actually an artist, but an arts patron and art collector. Ultimately, Miss Universe is the world's best-known and most recognizable beauty title and the main title header — Margaret Gardiner (Miss Universe) — should be restored to its primary position per WP:RETAIN. A hatnote atop her entry, pointing to Margaret Gardiner (art collector) would suffice. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 00:14, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

See their official website. It appears that the name shifted not long after RIT did a big rebrand in September 2018 (per "Smirking Tiger, Hidden Dots" by Kevin Zampieron, Reporter, 2018-11-12).

- (Discuss) – Schön scandal → Jan Hendrik Schön – Restore original title of article. This article was moved to "Schön scandal" without discussion in 2010 on WP:BLP1E grounds, and probably should have been moved back after a no consensus RM in 2014 on procedural grounds. Regardless, it should be moved back anyway on the merits. BLP1E doesn't apply: there are three conditions that each must be met. Schön was covered in relation to his scientific work before fraud happened (criterion 1), this was not a low-profile individual, this was an individual appearing in mainstream magazine articles and winning awards (criterion 2), and the related fraud events was very significant and Schön's role is well-documented, so he's not an incidental figure (e.g. a murder victim notable for nothing else), criterion 3. Again, each of those should be met for BLP1E to really apply, but arguably only half of a single criterion is met (criteria 1, maybe). Finally, sometimes a title like this gets used to "spread blame" when there's a scandal with a ringleader but the article also covers the actions of collaborators in detail too. However, per the article, "All of the coauthors (including Bertram Batlogg, who was the head of the team) were exonerated of scientific misconduct." So no, this article really does focus on Schön. Of course, the system bears blame too, but that doesn't change that we have biography articles on similar academic hoaxers by name (e.g. Diederik Stapel) for whom The System failed too, and this article is the odd one out.

It also creates unnecessary confusion with the Brazilian Leila Lopes, who was actually notable for being an actress. Reverting to the previous "Leila Lopes (Miss Universe)" title is also fine with me. { [ ( jjj 1238 ) ] } 11:44, 8 February 2022 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of sites of interest in Boston → List of tourist attractions in Boston – Per WP:NOTGUIDE, Wikipedia is not a travel guide, so the existence of these pages is questionable overall. However, if they're going to exist, we should try to define as well as possible what entries they should contain. "Sites of interest" is impossibly vague and subjective, whereas "tourist attractions" is at least characterized. It's more blunt and direct about what these places have in common. Therefore, I think it's a better title structure. Additionally, almost all similar pages for other cities, such as List of tourist attractions in Philadelphia and others in Category:Lists of tourist attractions by city, already use that structure, so this move could help us to standardize. Feel free to add any additional pages that I missed. {{u|Sdkb}} talk 22:06, 13 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Natg 19 (talk) 00:58, 22 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – Cyprus conflict → Cyprus problem – The above requested move was carried out with very minimal participation so a strong consensus for the actual name is not present. The WP:COMMONNAME for this topic is clearly "Cyprus problem", as evidenced by these results: Google Books - 132,000 for "Cyprus problem" vs 66,300 for "Cyprus conflict" vs 56,300 for "Cyprus issue" vs 16,200 for "Cyprus dispute"; Google Scholar - 8,580 for "Cyprus problem" vs 6,630 for "Cyprus issue" vs 5,260 for "Cyprus conflict" vs 2,130 for "Cyprus dispute". Google Ngram Viewer confirms that "Cyprus problem" is the most popular term, far ahead of "Cyprus conflict", which comes in fourth and places behind even "Cyprus question", nowadays a somewhat antiquated term. The WP:CONSISTENCY argument above doesn't hold water. The examples given are too selective, a number of similar articles use various terminology (see Category:National questions, Falkland Islands sovereignty dispute, amongst others); and it's apples and oranges anyway - the Cyprus problem has seen an incomparably greater use of diplomacy than all of those other conflicts, not least involving referanda and EU accession talks; such that calling the whole thing a "conflict" feels somewhat awkward.

Another name came out of existence somewhere, "Day of Valor". I don't know if this was meant to be a literal translation of the Filipino name, but this one got stuck too. The only catch here is that, it's usually not used by itself (even in English sources). So, I don't know if moving this article to that name would be a good idea or not. "Day of Valor" would be a good compromise, but there's no denying the fact that "Araw ng Kagitingan" is more common than it.

That means the comics, despite inspiring the film and other media, are not the primary topic. In fact, the comics' pageviews are probably inflated because of readers searching for the film and ending up on the wrong page. I would not be opposed to making the film primary, but moving the disambiguation page to the base title is probably the safest approach for now. (I'm not sure if The Mask (comics) could be confused with Mask (DC Comics), but the latter seems a relatively obscure topic and a hatnote would suffice to deal with this, if necessary at all.)

- (Discuss) – 2006 Somali warlord offensive → Advance of the Islamic Courts Union – I'm reversing and revising some of the non-consensus edits, vandalism, and suspicious edits of the banned sockpuppet 'AmirahBreen'. This article is one of the pages he edited. The article's scope was originally the advance of the Islamic Courts Union in Somalia occurred between May and December 2006. However, as of September 2020, several strange and confusing editions disfigured the text and the scope was changed to an offensive that took place between May and July 2006 against the Union of Islamic Courts by an alliance of warlords. On 19 December 2020 the title was also changed (without consensus) to "The rise of the Islamic Courts Union", a title totally absurd and incompatible with our policies and practices. Due to unfamiliarity with the editions, in June 2021, there was a requested move and the title was changed to "2006 Somali warlord offensive". As there was no debate regarding this scope change on the talk page, I restored the original version. I propose to return the original title 'Advancement of the Union of Islamic Courts', which is supported by sources (example 1, example 2, example 3]).

- (Discuss) – 5-ji Kara 9-ji Made: Watashi ni Koi Shita Obōsan → 5→9 From Five to Nine – Articles about TV programs should be titled after what the program is tiled for an English-speaking audience.

- (Discuss) – Chandra Levy → Killing of Chandra Levy – Three years ago, it was noted above, here on this page, that the article seemed to really be about her death and the fallout from it, not her. I responded that there had been two previous RM discussions on exactly this premise, both of which did not succeed. A 2013 discussion was closed as no consensus; its 2016 sequel, prompted by my own move (which I believed would be uncontroversial) was closed as no move on the basis of "no coherent arguments supporting the move that would provide substantial benefit to WP readers." An issue in those previous discussions was the lack of clear naming policy behind the move. That is no longer the case. Since then, further discussions of the issue have led to WP:NCDEATH, the flowchart for which leads us to the more appropriate title of Killing of Chandra Levy: the medical examiner ruled her death a homicide. A suspect was convicted, but after that verdict was overturned on appeal the prosecution decided against a retrial, dropping the charges and having the suspect deported to his native El Salvador instead. So homicide - conviction="Killing of ..." Beyond that is the question, doggedly answered as "yes" by so many opponents of the move in the previous discussions, of whether Levy was notable enough apart from her disappearance and death to justify her name alone as the article title. Sentimentality prevailed, or was allowed to prevail, in 2016, even though no one arguing from that premise could really say what we might have known about her but for her demise. Similarly, in 2013, we had less of these articles about a notable event centered around a non-notable, usually dead or missing, person, and those that we had were often still titled after the person, rather than the event. There were so few of those latterly-titled articles that one participant in that debate could somewhat credibly claim at the time that this attempt to rename the article was a symptom of institutional sexism and that no article about a similarly situated straight white man would even get considered for such a rename (even though evidence to the contrary had already been introduced). Again, that no longer holds. Due to the work of myself and others, we have today many more articles about the dead and missing, regardless of gender, all of which are generally titled "Death/Murder/Disappearance of ..." without objection, save for those notable for something else during their lives that would be notable by our standards even if they had not met such an ignoble end. It is 2022. It has been more than two decades since Ms. Levy's disappearance and the intrigues it revealed captured the idle fancies of America over that last good summer before 9/11 (and made some history, I think, as the first major missing persons case where the disappeared person's Internet search results were a possible clue). It is almost that much time since her remains were found. A whole generation of Americans has grown up and reached college since then. I cannot imagine that they, looking upon this article, would not ask the same question that the 2018 poster whose remarks that I belatedly discovered last month did. And even for those of us well graced with the years to remember this affair, it is "a distant ship, smoke on the horizon". While no one would want it so, the dark clouds that hover still are her fate, not her life, and it is so that this article should be retitled.

- (Discuss) – Event of Ghadir Khumm → Sermon at Ghadir Khumm – The main reasons for this move request are for the sake of precision and consistency, as per the WP:CRITERIA guidelines. 'Event' is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a useful or precise descriptor. The event in question is a sermon following a congregational Friday prayer, as described in numerous sources, so I believe 'sermon' would be a more useful and appropriate descriptor. This would also be consistent with the titling of various other famous oratory episodes by religious and Islamic figures, including Jesus' famous "Sermon on the mount", as well as the "Sermon of Fadak", the "Sermon of Zaynab bint Ali in the court of Yazid" and the "Sermon of Ali ibn Husayn in Damascus". The best reason for keeping the existing 'Event of ...' format and descriptor, despite its vagueness, is the fact that it is the direct translation from Arabic. However, "event" has never been an essential part of the episode's common name. Many sources refer to it simply as "Ghadir Khumm". There is meanwhile plenty of precedent on Wikipedia for replacing a literal translation from the Arabic in Islamic primary sources into something a bit more encyclopedically useful on the platform. Take, for example, the article "Attack on Fatimah's house", which in the Arabic is literally "Rib fracture accident" - an extremely unhelpful title. The issue for Ghadir Khumm is not so extreme, but having "Event of ..." adds little to nothing to the title, while titling the page as Sermon at Ghadir Khumm would add considerably more precision.

Her bio page is titled and refers to her as ASR Principesa Irina or HRH Princess Irina, while elsewhere on the royal house's website she is listed as a member of the royal house of Romania under Linia de succesiune or Line of succession: "The members of the Royal House of Romania are the following: Her Majesty Margaret, Custodian of the Romanian Crown; His Royal Highness Radu, Prince of Romania; Her Royal Highness Elena, Princess of Romania; Her Royal Highness Irina, Princess of Romania; Her Royal Highness Sofia, Princess of Romania; Her Royal Highness Maria, Princess of Romania."

The official information for Onoda contradicts all those other sources by using the Hepburn romanisation Kyūsaku, but it does that for all Japanese names, not only his, so I think that it is not a valid reference for identifying the official spelling. 2A00:23C7:5485:2C00:ADC5:E535:D119:466F (talk) 07:30, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

Thus, this NBCSN version should be at the natural disambiguation "Wednesday Night Rivalry" title that it had for most of its run.
