Wikipedia:Requested moves
![]() | This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. This notice will be automatically removed by RMCD bot (talk) when the backlog is cleared. |
Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.
Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.
Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:
- Technical reasons may prevent a move; 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 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 to article space – Unconfirmed users: add
{{subst:submit}}
to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself. - Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
- Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, 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.
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, 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:..."
![]() 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 bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=reason for move}}
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.

Flatland: The Movie was also released in 2007. This film is also called "Flatland: The Film".

Administrator needed
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" (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 9 December 2023" 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:
![]() | A request that this page title be changed is under discussion. Please do not move this page until the discussion is closed. |
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
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.
}}
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.
- Cricket → ?
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
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 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
- ^ 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.
- This section lists all requests filed or identified as potentially controversial which are currently under discussion.
![]() | Do not attempt to edit this list manually; a bot will automatically update the page soon after the {{subst:Requested move}} template is added to the discussion on the relevant talk page. The entry is removed automatically soon after the discussion is closed. To make a change to an entry, make the change on the linked talk page. |
This list is also available in a page-link-first format and in table format. 49 discussions have been relisted.

- (Discuss) – Blue balls → Epididymal hypertension – Hello. I've recently restructured and added information on how the phenomenon manifests in women. As such I think that it is appropriate to rename the article to the official name, "Epididymal hypertension", as it is gender-neutral. Normally I don't really mind "gender neutrality", but since epididymal hypertension occurs for both women and men it seems more logical to use the gender-neutral name for it.

- (Discuss) – Mos Def → Yasiin Bey – It has been over a decade since Bey announced that he would no longer be using the Mos Def stage name. In 2012, he said "I began to fear that Mos Def was being treated as a product, not a person, so I've been going by Yasiin since '99. At first it was just for friends and family, but now I'm declaring it openly." Since then, he has exclusively used the name Yasiin Bey as his artist name, with both his acting and musical credits referring to him as Yasiin Bey since 2011. A review of recent reliable sources shows that most outlets now refer to him as Yasiin Bey and only mention Mos Def in parentheses or alongside a "formally known as". Per WP:NAMECHANGES,
If the reliable sources written after the change is announced routinely use the new name, Wikipedia should follow suit and change relevant titles to match.

Meanwhile, this band has two top 10 albums, a third with a Platinum cert, and a top-ten single in the US. Should be an easy PTOPIC for the initialism itself, and all the other articles listed in AJR which don't use the initialism in their titles can be reached via a hatnote.

- (Discuss) – Global warming controversy → List of global warming controversies – This article has now been reworked to be a list article. It's basically a landing page to show people where they can look for this kind of content. Most of the previous content has been moved to climate change denial. I think it is important to change it to plural (i.e. controversies, not controversy). My previous proposal to change it to "climate change debates" achieved no consensus. Setting this up as a basic list article is a good compromise solution, I think. EMsmile (talk) 11:16, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Ichthyosaur → Ichthyosauria – While it seems intuitive, "ichthyosaurs" is not always used as a common name for Ichthyosauria, and is sometimes used as an equivalent of Ichthyopterygia (Motani, 2005) or even Ichthyosauriformes (Moon, 2017) instead, including taxa like Utatsusaurus, Chaohusaurus, or even Cartorhynchus which fall outside of Ichthyosauria proper.

- (Discuss) – '—And He Built a Crooked House—' → "—And He Built a Crooked House—" – Outer quotation marks might be an integral part of this title, like "Heroes" (David Bowie album) (highlighted at WP:AT), but in such cases we use ordinary double quotation marks rather than single ones. Confusion over the proper formatting of the title is evident from the several bold page moves in the article history and the commentary by Heroeswithmetaphors at Talk:'—And He Built a Crooked House—'#edit wars are LAME, but there has never been an RM for this. The outer em dashes are also unusual, but for the moment I'm focused on the type of quotation marks. There is no unusual punctuation at all in the cited New York Times article. The Internet Speculative Fiction Database has no trailing em dash in its primary title, and shows six title variations in publications – including one with no punctuation at all. There are no other article titles that start with '— or "— or '– or "– on the entire English Wikipedia. See also "All You Zombies", which uses the same styling in its lead section and has similar redirects pointing to it (and was published in the same collection at least once, in 1959 and in paperback in 1961 – see The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag (collection)). — BarrelProof (talk) 16:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – In Search of → In Search of... – The first proposed renaming is a revert to a consensus RM outcome for a disambiguation page. The current title of the disambiguation page is the result of a bold move of 8 April 2023 by E-Kartoffel. It seems related to the former inclusion of an additional article that was agreed to be deleted on 23 September 2023 after a discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/In Search Of (film) (2nd nomination). All of the articles currently listed on the disambiguation page end with an ellipsis, so I think the ellipsis should also be in the title of the disambiguation page. As for the proposed lowercasing for the Fu Manchu album, the use of the ellipsis is an indication that some other words are implied to be missing. Please see the prior RM at Talk:In Search of...#Requested move 10 October 2022 and the external guidance here, which points to the Chicago Manual of Style, the AP Stylebook and the New York Times. Lowercasing would provide consistency with In Search of... (TV series) and In Search of... (N.E.R.D. album).

- (Discuss) – Blood-Horse magazine List of the Top 100 U.S. Racehorses of the 20th Century → Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century – or Blood-Horse Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century or The Blood-Horse Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century or Thoroughbred Champions: Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century. Per prior comments on the article Talk page in 2011 and 2019, the name of this "Top 100" doesn't include "U.S." We should also remove any other words that aren't really part of the name of the list. The list was first published in the magazine (see here: "The Top 100 list first appeared as a special issue of The Blood-Horse magazine, in February of 1999" and this article that says the poll result was published as a list and even republished by others – and that even included Wikipedia for a while) but I have not found a clear name for the list itself. An expanded publication was published as a book named Thoroughbred Champions: Top 100 Racehorses of the 20th Century (e.g. ISBN 9781581500240 or ISBN 1-58150-024-6). The full name of the magazine appears to be The Blood-Horse (or to have been that historically, per the quote just above, although it is published by Blood-Horse LLC, without "The", and recent cover art seems to omit "The" and the hyphen as shown here, although those are still included in some text mentions such as at that link where it says "to renew your subscription to The Blood-Horse, without interruption, ...", although on the same page it says "ONE YEAR SUBSCRIPTION // TO BLOODHORSE MAGAZINE // TABLET AND ONLINE EDITION", without "The", without hyphen). — BarrelProof (talk) 02:06, 21 November 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – 2020 City of Melbourne election → 2020 Melbourne City Council election – Like all other election pages, the general style of an election page name is YEAR/Place/election type (following a wide discussion a few years ago), eg 2007 Australian federal election instead of Australian federal election, 2007. This should apply on this page and ones listed below. Having "Melbourne" instead of "City" as the word after the year is more accurate to the above style and arguably looks better visually. I propose the following moves: Additionally, it's worth mentioning that this proposed style is used by the respective state electoral commissioners - putting the LGA name first instead of the description of City, Shire, etc VEC: https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/results/council-election-results/2020-council-election-results NSWEC: https://registers.elections.nsw.gov.au/s/registers-of-groups-of-candidates (scroll down and select "local government elections" then "council area") Totallynotarandomalt69 (talk) 02:48, 7 December 2023 (UTC)

Following the promotion to head coach, he received an expected bump due to the news cycle (with the swimmer receiving traffic looking for the other article), and now continues to receive significantly more traffic.

- (Discuss) – Fawzia Fuad of Egypt → Fawzia of Egypt – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, WP:CONSORTS, and WP:TITLECON. First of all, the current format is erroneous. "Fawzia bint Fuad" would be the correct form, but that is inconsistent with how the pages on other Egyptian princesses have been titled, none of which include a patronymic (Princess Faika of Egypt, Princess Fadia of Egypt, Princess Fawzia-Latifa of Egypt, etc.). The ideal title, thus, is "Fawzia of Egypt". The prefixes "Queen" or "Princess" should be omitted from this page's title, as per WP:CONSORTS such titles
are generally not included in article titles for deceased consorts
. The only problem is that she shares a name with Princess Fawzia of Egypt (born 1940), but as a former queen and according to page views she is clearly the primary topic so it makes sense to have this page at "Fawzia of Egypt" and have the other page disambiguated.

- (Discuss) – Russia and weapons of mass destruction → Russia and nuclear weapons – Trying to get some consistency in the naming. Regarding the articles curretly having "weapons of mass destruction" in the title, most or all of the content is about nuclear weapons, with a passing mention of non-nuclear WMDs. For example, there is a short section at France_and_weapons_of_mass_destruction#Non-nuclear_WMD. For Pakistan, there isn't even that. Of course, a separate article that covers all of the WMDs can be created, but I think it is better to move the history to the nuclear weapons article since that is most of the article's content. Non-nuclear WMDs are a notable topic, but they pale in comparison with nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons can obliterate a city of millions in seconds, and whether a country has them has enormous geopolitical implications, which can't be said for non-nuclear WMDs. I think that deserves an article of its own. I propose the naming "Country and nuclear weapons", but I am open to other suggestions. Vpab15 (talk) 00:06, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – BCX → BCX (software) – The page BCX (disambiguation) has no primary topic. The topic of the article currently at the base title, BCX, is very non-notable - I certainly had never heard of it before working on this dab page - and it's arguably even a borderline case of CSD A7. In fact, based on the pageviews, one would think that the primary topic would be Blood culture, although I think that argument is quite weak since relatively few people refer to a blood culture using the abbreviation "BCx" (and that would be a different capitalization anyways, so WP:DIFFCAPS could apply).

The term "Guayana Esequiba" is POV, only being promoted by Venezuelan claims for a state of the same name while the term "Essequibo" is not used by Guyana at all since it has six different regions in the area with separate names.

- (Discuss) – India national cricket team → India men's national cricket team – Per WP:PRECISE, WP:RNEUTRAL, and WP:CONSISTENT. Currently, there is one page called the India national cricket team and another called the India women's national cricket team. Either both teams have to be gendered or none. All the players on the men's team are men, like all players on the women's team are women. Therefore, the current article title lacks precision, neutrality, and consistency. There is clear precedent for such article naming in the field hockey teams, one for the men's team and another for the women's team. In light of the need for consistency with sporting team article titles (WP:CONSISTENT), precision (WP:PRECISE), and neutrality (WP:RNEUTRAL), I propose to move India national cricket team to India men's national cricket team. This move should probably be executed for all gendered sports teams, but the broader question might have to be addressed through CAT:WNCP and WP:NCST. At this time, the page India men's national cricket team redirects to India national cricket team. Instead, India national cricket team should be a disambiguation page with the men's and women's teams listed in it. Such naming would also be consistent with the opening sentence of the men's page, which states: The India men's national cricket team, also known as the Men in Blue or most commonly Team India, represent India in men's international cricket. -Mad Maths (talk) 13:37, 4 December 2023 (UTC)

It is therefore clear that the article encompasses more than simply gay bishops and that this is not the sole or even necessarily the primary focus of the page, as lesbian, bisexual and transgender are also primary points of focus.

I don't know if you can glean any useful information from the ngram page. The Holywell DAB page was only visited 122 times in October, but WikiNav has some statistics for it anyway.[1] 38 visitors went on to the Holywell, Flintshire article, 29 visits were filtered from the results, and none are recorded for any other destination. This does, at least, show that most of links people followed to another article from the DAB page were to the Flintshire town. September's data appears similar, but I don't know how to get a "filtered" total for it. Holywell, Flintshire is more frequently visited than the other Holywell pages, with 20,980 visits over a year compared with 7,923 for the Cornish Holywell[2] and 10,019 in total for the various other places listed on the DAB page.[3] Given how few people visit the DAB page, I don't think a hatnote would need to be more than just {{about|the town in Flintshire}} after this move.

Whether it works or not is irrelevant; the sole concern is how it fits into our naming conventions, and the shorter title is the right one.

- (Discuss) – Gestalt Practice → Gestalt practice – Suggestion to bring the article more in line with common usage, other types of practices and other Gestalt concepts. An argument could be made that "Gestalt Practice" is a proper name referring to the process developed and implemented by its author, Dick Price at Esalen. However, it seems clear that there are many practitioners developing it beyond and outside the original source material, and in my view, the project would benefit from an article that covers the concept more broadly. This would make it a common compound noun, styled "Gestalt practice" per "avoid unnecessary capitalization" WP:MOS and WP:CAPITALIZATION. Ngrams history shows "Gestalt practice" has generally been the most common styling [18]. Many publications[19] on the subject and practitioners (and the footnotes of this article) write "Gestalt practice", while practitioners closely tied to Price’s institutions (Esalen[20], for example) tend to write "Gestalt Practice". I believe styling the phrase as a common noun also invites contributions of a broader scope without deemphasizing the practice's basic principles. Wow Mollu (talk) 20:37, 2 December 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Saldus Municipality (2021–present) → Saldus Municipality – As the current form of the municipality, this is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 99% of the time, a reader searching "Saldus Municipality" would be trying to find the current version, not the old version. This is also demonstrated by the difference in pageviews, and is how the Latvian version of the articles already do it. The disambiguation page should be deleted to make room - a hatnote can be put in to clarify if there's confusion. HappyWith (talk) 23:00, 1 December 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Hermann Müller (politician, born 1876) → Hermann Müller – Noting this page was until recently Hermann Müller (politician). Müller the chancellor seems to be the clear WP:PRIMARYTOPIC here, with all other Hermann Müllers who use disambiguators only reaching single and double digit pageviews, as well as having greater long-term significance as one of the last Weimar chancellors.

- (Discuss) – Doctor Who (series 14) → ? – Per WP:WHO/MOS#Terminology, the previous seasons/series of Doctor Who have been titled "Season #" for the classic era, and "Series #" for the revived era, noting the difference from when the programme moved from Season 26 to Series 1 upon the 2005 revival. This had lead up to Series 13 in 2021. According to interviews with the showrunner, as well as entries on the official Doctor Who websites, the numbering system is to be reset, to define a new "era". That is, what has previous been referred to as Series 14, will now be referred to as Season 1. The questions are: # Should this article be retitled to reflect this change to "Season 1", or should it remain at its "Series 14" title? # If the article should be renamed, what should it be renamed to? (This is given that Doctor Who (season 1) already exists, representing the 1963–64 season, and Doctor Who (series 1) exists, representing the 2005 series.) # Upon this renaming, should (and thus, what) should the previous seasons be renamed to? Note that if this article title is changed, this should reflect upon the following entries within the programme. -- Alex_21 TALK 07:51, 1 December 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Saiō → Ise Saiō – We previously had a requested move to Saigū but @Invokingvajras: explained well how in fact we had been misunderstanding what a Saiō was. I have since changed almost all links to Saiō to Ise Saiō in preparation for this, so the disambiguation page will have very few links https://wiki.alquds.edu/?query=Special:WhatLinksHere/Sai%C5%8D Saigū now redirects to Saikū. There is a bit of Saikū vs Saigū debate brought up by @Ka-ru:, so we might want to move Saikū Palace to Saigū Palace, but I see this as a separate issue and do not know the solution.
