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 information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.
Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. 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. In such cases, 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 page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.
Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. 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, or 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.
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.
If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request a technical move 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 "This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."
If you are here because you want an experienced editor to approve of your new article or proposed rename, you are in the wrong place.
Make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Even if the target page exists, you can sometimes move the page normally if the target is a redirect back to the source page and has 1 revision.
If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.
To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection or click the big blue button and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Do not edit the article's talk page, just click the button below.
To request a reversion of a recent undiscussed move: Review the guidelines at WP:RMUM of whether a reversion of an undiscussed move qualifies as uncontroversial and if so, edit the Requests to revert undiscussed moves subsection or click the big blue button and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
Note that in some cases, clerks, such as administrators or page movers may determine that your request for a reversion does not pass the criteria and may move the request to the contested section or open a formal requested move discussion for potentially controversial moves on your behalf.
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. A bot will automatically remove contested requests after 72 hours of inactivity.
Administration needed
If your request requires an administrator. Usually, do so if the page has been fully protected or move protected (see this guide to which moves need administrators).
Attawapiskat First Nation→Attawapiskat(move·discuss)– The community is most commonly just referred to as "Attawapiskat", with "Attawapiskat First Nation" referring to the political structure that governs the community. James Hyett (talk) 19:25, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
Primary topic grabs are, by definition, not uncontroversial. I've reverted recent changes to the articles in question. See WP:PCM. 162 etc. (talk) 19:33, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
I suppose you're right. And reading Wikipedia:AUTONYM again I note "The names an ethnic group or Indigenous government self-identifies should be considered. If their autonym is commonly used in English, it would be the best article title." Even if sources commonly just refer to the community as "Attawapiskat", it is more correct and follows Wikipedia practice to name the article after the FN. Thanks! James Hyett (talk) 20:16, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
That's dubious. I doubt this would pass WP:AFC. Note that we already have Bowling#History which is well-written and well-sourced; I don't see what this new stub article is supposed to achieve. 162 etc. (talk) 20:09, 19 October 2026 (UTC)
Plus, this is not how drafts are promoted to articles. Submit it through AFC like everyone else. Bgsu98(Talk) 20:13, 19 October 2026 (UTC)
Actually, it wasn't a draft at first, but then someone draftified it for the sole reason being "has no sources". Now that I have sourced it, I believe it should simply be moved back. Robloxguest3(talk) 17:54, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
It was created because the history section in bowling is pretty large, it would be better to have a shorter version without removing too much info. Robloxguest3(talk) 17:55, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
I don't think that's how it works. Thanks! —1isall(talk|contribs) 18:54, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
Then explain it to me please? Thanks, Robloxguest3(talk) 14:51, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
Large sections on notable topics may be split to a standalone article. See WP:SPLIT. Creating a new stub article which contains far less reliably-sourced information than what is already on Wikipedia is not particularlly useful. 162 etc. (talk) 16:26, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
@Robloxguest3 Per above, you could try to propose a split of the history section at the talk page instead of creating a new draft. Does that sound like a good alternative? Thanks! —1isall(talk|contribs) 14:45, 24 October 2026 (UTC)
@Robloxguest3 Contesting per above. Also, is this your first article? Thanks! —1isall(talk|contribs) 00:08, 20 October 2026 (UTC)
It's not, see . Tenshi! (Talk page) 13:46, 20 October 2026 (UTC)
Oh, thanks for that. Thanks! —1isall(talk|contribs) 14:56, 20 October 2026 (UTC)
@Paperswanflourishing We do not use ALL CAPS in titles (unless it's an acronym or something). Thanks! —1isall(talk|contribs) 00:48, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
Thanks for the note. STACKTV is the brand’s official styling, like STX Entertainment or IKEAPaperswanflourishing (talk) 04:14, 24 October 2026 (UTC)
I think this should go to RM given this would be reverting to an old title after the stable title being the same for over a decade. Tenshi! (Talk page) 15:44, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
@Ragnarvrollo: This has been moved several times and has been subject to a previous RM, so is not uncontroversial. Station1 (talk) 04:23, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

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.
To request a single page move, click on the "Add topic" (or "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|New name|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change. 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 [today's date]" and sign the post for you.
The reasons for the move can be summarized referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results.
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.
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 (this parameter can be omitted for discussions hosted on a page that is proposed to be moved)
| 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, referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. 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 with current1 set to Wikipedia and current2 set to Wiki. The discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article where the template is placed (Talk:Wikipedia). Do not sign the request with ~~~~, since the template does this automatically (so if you sign it yourself there will be two copies of your signature at the end of the request). Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of all pages that are included in your request except the one hosting the discussion, to call attention to the move discussion that is in progress and to suggest that all discussion for all of the pages included in the request should take place at that one hosting location.
For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is itself proposed to be moved, it is not necessary to include the |current1=Current title of page 1 for the page hosting the discussion, as its current title can be inferred automatically. Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace, in which case it is necessary to include |current1= to indicate the first article to be moved.
If you have to update a RM from a single move to multiple moves, you need to add the following parameters to the {{requested move/dated}} template call:
|multiple=yes
|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
|currentN=Current title of page N
|newN=New title for page N|}}
...where N represents more pages to be moved. Place a pipe ( | ) at the end just before the final set of braces ( |}} )
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)andCricket. 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:

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.
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.
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.
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. 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 appears on 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.

(Discuss) – Alternative for Germany → AfDAfD – As an English speaker, I've worked with many English-based news sources internationally doing reporting about the AfD in Germany. One example is the Frontline PBS documentary about the AfD, where they basically refer to it as "the AfD" throughout the documentary. I think "Alternative for Germany" is clunky because it's the awkward translation of a WP:COMMONNAME in another language, and I really don't think this should be the title for the English version of the article when the acronym is much more commonly used than the official translation of the name. According to the News on the Web (NOW) Corpus, from October 24 2025 to October 24 2026, the string "AfD" has been used 7041 times and the string "Alternative for Germany" has been used 1082 times.

(Discuss) – Sacred Name Movement → Sacred Name movement – I realize this is a relatively minor change but I think the capitalization of the current name could be understood as implying that this is a single denomination or organization of similar denominations. Some of the organizations more prominently associated with the Sacred Name movement have denied an association with it. I think writing "movement" in lowercase allows us to discuss it more as a general phenomenon. Theemausoliam (talk) 16:51, 24 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Galfoy → MalfoidMalfoid – This page started out at Malfoid and was moved here on 16 October with no discussion and no edit summary (log). The account that moved it has since been blocked as a sock (Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TotalTruthTeller24), so I'd treat this as restoring the original title rather than a fresh rename, but it's been sitting here for a week with an AfD running under this name, so I'm bringing it here rather than to RM/TR. On the merits "Malfoid" is plainly the WP:COMMONNAME. Of the sources cited in the article, Lifestyle.INQ, Cybernews, Indiatimes, Tuổi Trẻ and Creative Bloq have it in the headline or first line, and El Financiero and Azteca Puebla give it next to "Malfoy Girl". Know Your Meme, IBTimes and Just Jared use it as well. The only source I can find that says "Galfoy" is SlimePress, and even that one gives both. The section at Draco Malfoy is headed with both names, and the Malfoid redirect is still pulling 30–90 views a day, so it's what readers are actually typing. I expect the pushback will be that "foid" comes from incel slang. This is covered in the main section but WP:POVNAME is fairly explicit that where sources overwhelmingly use one name we follow them even if the name has a word we'd otherwise steer clear of. Tuổi Trẻ and Indiatimes both report that within the trend it's treated as a pun on the surname. "Galfoy" isn't a more encyclopedic alternative here, just a rarer one. The AfD is still open as I write this; this request is only about the title. QuillQuasar (talk) 08:17, 24 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Wenhu line → Wenhu LineWenhu Line – Per OrdinaryScarlett's statement, let start the request move to let the "L" in "line" be capitalized.

Also, New Taipei Metro's "Danhai LRT" and "Ankeng LRT" are the official LRT line name. Thus, propose renaming these pages above. Sinsyuan✍️PJTW 08:01, 24 October 2026 (UTC)

I think the relevant guideline here is WP:AUTONYM, "Any terms regarded as derogatory by members of the ethnic group in question should be avoided." The text of the article describes "Oji-Cree" as offensive and "Anisininew" as preferred. James Hyett (talk) 19:50, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – 40th Golden Globes → 40th Golden Globe Awards40th Golden Globe Awards – The article's parent article (Golden Globes) got moved by RM and rightly so due to the wide adoption of the name from 2025 onwards. However, already completed editions before then were under the former name of the "Golden Globe Awards" that have articles here, but were moved (incorrectly) by the same editor who enacted the RM on the parent article.

(Discuss) – 81st Golden Globes → 81st Golden Globe Awards81st Golden Globe Awards – This temporary account ~2026-51624-17 wants RMs enacted for some so-called "potentially controversial" but legitimate move reversals, stating that "a revert is clearly not uncontroversial", which is utterly gob-smacking! The editor (who fun fact was blocked twice for WP system gaming and disruption and has a history of barely gaining communal support for actions) enacted an RM to change the title of the parent article of the titles above to use its current name. After it closed as moved, the editor boldly (but incorrectly) moved these titles to have "Golden Globes" in them, despite the article contents, cited sources and official event posters in those articles showing otherwise. I can't fathom how controversial this is when the editor himself/herself is controversial, not to talk of his/her statements, pronunciations and actions.

(Discuss) – Substitute good → Substitute goodsSubstitute goods – These came up on a related RM of Luxury goods → Luxury good, which was not moved (discussion). These appear to be exceptions to WP:SINGULAR as they are names of a class of object, Substitute good and Club good use the plural form in the lead titles, almost all of these use the plural form in their lead images, and the main topic of Goods uses the plural form as its name. I think these should be changed to plural form to keep things consistent. Umby 🌕🐶 (talk) 05:59, 16 October 2026 (UTC) —Relisting.BilledMammal (talk) 07:25, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Bilingual Review Press → Bilingual PressBilingual Press – (Note: I am a paid editor for ASU.) Bilingual Press, a publishing house that is part of Arizona State University's Hispanic Research Center, had been inactive since 2018 but is being reactivated. This appears to be its correct name and is the one used in the 2026 ASU News article announcing its return. Its name is technically bilingual ("Bilingual Press | Editorial Bilingue"), but that won't work as a title. Melted BrieASU (onward to victory · t · c) 05:20, 23 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Coastal Wetlands of Togo → Zones Humides du Littoral du TogoZones Humides du Littoral du Togo – Moved to current title with rationale "in inglish [sic]". I can find no English-language reliable sources that use this name that show it is the WP:COMMONNAME; those referring to the Ramsar site use the French name. I would accept the argument that the topic of the article is the geographic region, not the specific protected area, in which case it should be moved to Coastal wetlands of Togo, but in any case, not stay at the current title. ~ A412talk! 03:50, 23 October 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – War on cartels (2025–present) → Pan-American Cartel War (2025–present) – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NATURAL, the article title should realistic. As far as we can see all the countries involved here are only limited to the Americas. Unlike *GWOT* , it doesn't scope the full cartels geographically, as for example Mexican drug war. The geography is ultimately added so I propose it will be pretty encyclopedically correct to add the geography for upcoming histories and analysis. Another fact that 2026 Cuban crisis is part of the SOUTHCOM operation but that doesn't give any idea about cartel but still is a part of this article. So I think it's pretty good to add geography rather than showing an international event.

(Discuss) – IT'SUGAR → It'Sugar – Wikipedia generally avoids all-caps promotional styling of article titles. This use of all-caps is purely promotional– not an indication of some abbreviation and not pronounced by spelling it out letter-by-letter. It's clearly intended to be pronounced like a word (or phrase). Several of the cited sources use "It'Sugar". Reading the Confectionery store article today, I also noticed that this source cited in that article uses the suggested styling as well. — BarrelProof (talk) 09:23, 22 October 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Homo juluensis → Xujiayao hominin – The holotype (Xujiayao hominin fossils) of the proposed species Homo juluensis has been identified as a Denisovan through a 2026 proteomic analysis. It has already been proposed as a member of the Denisovan lineage in 2025 based on morphological similarities. Given that the Xujiayao hominin fossils will most likely be considered a part of the Denisovan lineage based on the available evidence, the taxonomic status of Homo juluensis will be in a flux, just like Homo longi (the Harbin cranium). As such I propose to move the page title as "Xujiayao hominin", since this phrase has been exactly used in the original description and subsequent studies.

(Discuss) – Us Moderates → We Moderates – The current title "Us Moderates" is an ungrammatical, word-for-word translation of the Italian party name "Noi Moderati." In English, the pronoun "We" is grammatically required for a subject phrase like this. Moving the page to "We Moderates" corrects the grammar while providing a proper English translation for readers, aligning with Wikipedia's preference for accurate English styling. ALTERNATIVE PROPOSAL: If editors prefer to avoid English translation disputes altogether, I suggest moving the page to its native Italian name, **Noi Moderati**, which is widely used by international media and complies with Wikipedia's naming conventions for political parties (WP:NC-PL). Either option is vastly superior to the current ungrammatical title. Theescholar (talk) 21:53, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Confectionery store → Sweet shopSweet shop – Apparently the name "confectionery store" was thought to be a sort of compromise between American English and British (or maybe Commonwealth-minus-Canada) English. Unfortunately it completely fails at that purpose. Americans almost never use the word "confectionery" in any context, but rather have a broader definition of "candy" than the British do, one that includes almost all "sugar confectionery". There is an established principle, at WP:TITLEVAR, that a name that is less common can be used to avoid choosing between varieties, for example "soft drink" instead of "soda" or "fizzy drink", but I don't see that as the same thing because "soft drink" is highly recognizable. This name seems to be closer to using light naphtha instead of gasoline or petrol. The article currently seems to be mostly in British English anyway (for example the spelling "liquorice") so I think we should just go with the British name. -- Trovatore (talk) 20:22, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

Ryan Baker, the former football player, might have been the WP:PRIMARY at the time that page was last moved (2011), but at 40+ and with less than 30 incoming links (from the articlespace), I think that can be questioned.

(Discuss) – Fanny Hensel → Fanny Mendelssohn HenselFanny Mendelssohn Hensel – This article was summarily moved in March 2026 without discussion by Gerda Arendt from Fanny Mendelssohn to Fanny Hensel despite the fact that this was a clearly controversial move, given that there have already been two failed move requests in the past (20 Apr 2020, 17 May 2020) where no consensus was reached. The rationale was given in the edit summary as common name, per talk, more than a week without objection, that being the unPUBLICIZEd brief discussion above. Instead of reverting the title, the entirely reasonable compromise is the commonly-used double-barrelled surname (which appears in many sources as pointed out in previous discussions and therefore does not run afoul of WP:MAIDEN). This composer is recognizable to many only by her maiden name, and so it would not be proper to exclude it. 〜 Festucalex • talk 05:07, 21 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Mallorquín → Mallorquín (horse) – orCaballo Mallorquín or possibly Cavall Mallorquí. I don't believe there is a primary topic. Mallorquín means 'Mallorcan' in Spanish and is thus the name for many of the entries at Mallorca (disambiguation). I stumbled across this page looking for the article Mallorcan dialect. Source search is complicated by the overwhelming number of Spanish-language sources—mostly not referring to the horse—and people with the surname Mallorquín in Google Books and Google Scholar. Regular Google search results are mixed between the horse and the dialect. MallorcanMallorcan and MajorcanMajorcan are both redirects to Mallorca. Sentence case Caballo Mallorquín is probably justified per MOS:LIFE although it's a little unclear since the breed standard cited in the article is in Spanish, which uses sentence case. —Myceteae🍄🟫 (talk) 18:34, 5 October 2026 (UTC) —Relisting.Jeffrey34555 (talk) 20:55, 12 October 2026 (UTC) —Relisting.ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 02:01, 21 October 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Joseph Martinez (gymnast) → Joseph Martinez – Per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. The destination currently serves as a disambiguation page, however no subjects listed on it are actually named "Joseph Martinez" nor could be confused for this individual. This is supported in that the two footballers listed clarify amongst themselves, but do not point to the DAB page. As such, the DAB serves no purpose for them. Additionally, the Joseph Martinez DAB points to a separate DAB, Joe Martinez (disambiguation), of which only specifically lists "Joe"s, which additionally does not point back to the Joseph Martinez DAB as there would be no confusion. As such, it's clear that the Olympic and 10-time World Gymnastics gold medalist gymnast is the primary topic without confusion and, as such, should be listed at Joseph Martinez.

(Discuss) – UMM (União Metalo-Mecânica) → União Metalo-MecânicaUnião Metalo-Mecânica – This was moved back per a comment above in #Move discussion in progress. Procedural issues re improperly reverting the outcome aside, I disagree with the reasoning; the logic it is trying to use, that "UMM" is the actual name and "União Metalo-Mecânica" is a disambiguator, doesn't work. If that were truly the case, then the article would be titled UMM (factory) instead, however both this title and that hypothetical one run contrary to Wikipedia:Article titles#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations. And the argument proves too much - the vast majority of acronyms are ambiguous so that would apply to most of the cases in the mass RM itself; of the top 10 cases there AEC, BCR, CEB, DIPS, DOPE, FAR are all ambiguous so the title we moved away from could be viewed as having a disambiguator instead. In truth "Acronym (name)" is almost always "Name (disambiguation)", and the logic of that RM is a combination of Wikipedia:Article titles#Avoid ambiguous abbreviations, WP:NATURALDIS, and the fact that per WP:NCDAB disambiguators should be the generic class (avoiding proper nouns, as much as possible) that includes the topic, not an alternate name for the topic.

Google Scholar has 96,500 results for "nonconformist", if you remove the word "england" from search results it drops to 36,200.

(Discuss) – Social Outburst (Chile) → Estallido socialEstallido social – Had trouble finding this today because the title is not commonly used in English and instead is a rather wooden translation of the Spanish name for the period of social unrest in Chile from October 2019 to March 2020. Sufficient English language sources exist referencing the name in Spanish and then explaining what it is: , , , , , , , .The Harvard article does use the social outburst phrasing as a translation of the Spanish word, but other sources use explosion and social outbreak, showing there’s not a consistent English translation of the phrase, but that sources always use the Spanish. Under our naming conventions, since the convention in English that is most common is to use the Spanish, we should be using the Spanish with a translation to English in the first sentence, as this is what virtually all of the reliable sources do.

(Discuss) – Francis Bacon → Francis Bacon (philosopher)Francis Bacon (philosopher) – I propose reconsidering the current title in light of Wikipedia's primary topic guidelines. Francis Bacon was a highly influential figure in modern art, and Francis Bacon (artist) receives a substantial number of page views, demonstrating that readers also frequently search for him under this name. Although Francis Bacon (philosopher) receives more views, page-view statistics alone should not determine the primary topic; they should be considered alongside the subjects' relative significance and long-term notability. The previous discussion dates back to 2010, and its outcome should not be treated as immutable. Given the artist's prominence and the considerable readership of his biography, I believe there are reasonable grounds to reassess whether the unqualified title should redirect to a single individual or instead serve as a disambiguation page. The aim is to ensure that the title reflects common usage and helps readers find the subject they are looking for. ~2026-55615-43 (talk) 18:09, 18 October 2026 (UTC)

The latter has received substantial coverage in music publications, and readers searching for "Happy Mistake" may reasonably be looking for Gaga's song rather than Gualazzi's album.

(Discuss) – Issyk-Kul → Ysyk-KölYsyk-Köl – I propose renaming this article from Issyk-Kul to Ysyk-Köl, using the direct romanization of the original Kyrgyz name, Ысык-Көл. Rationale * Linguistic accuracy: "Ysyk-Köl" directly represents the Kyrgyz name Ысык-Көл, whereas "Issyk-Kul" is derived from the Russian spelling Иссык-Куль. The Russian-based spelling does not preserve the original Kyrgyz vowels, particularly Ы and Ө. * Authoritative geographical naming references: The United Kingdom's Permanent Committee on Geographical Names (PCGN), in its Kyrgyzstan Toponymic Factfile (2025), identifies "Ysyk-Köl" as the Kyrgyz romanized form, distinct from the Russian-derived "Issyk-Kul". This demonstrates that the Kyrgyz spelling is recognized by an authoritative English-language geographical naming body. * National naming conventions: Kyrgyzstan's legislation on geographical names establishes the use of the state language for naming geographical features and regulates their representation in other languages. This supports using the original Kyrgyz name as the basis for romanization. * Existing usage: "Ysyk-Köl" is already recognized in international geographical references, including GeoNames and the UK PCGN publication. The Wikipedia article itself also acknowledges the original Kyrgyz name. Wikipedia article title policy I recognize that WP:COMMONNAME generally prioritizes established usage in reliable English-language sources over official or indigenous names. Nevertheless, I believe "Ysyk-Köl" merits consideration under Wikipedia's article titling criteria, particularly naturalness, precision, and consistency with authoritative geographical naming references. The aim of this proposal is not to eliminate the familiar spelling "Issyk-Kul", but to use the original Kyrgyz-based romanization as the primary title while retaining "Issyk-Kul" as a redirect for accessibility and searchability. References * UK Permanent Committee on Geographical Names — Kyrgyzstan Toponymic Factfile (2025) * Kyrgyzstan — Law on Geographical Names * GeoNames — Ysyk-Köl I welcome input from other editors, particularly concerning the use of "Ysyk-Köl" in independent English-language sources and its suitability under Wikipedia's naming conventions.

Second, per MOS:THETITLE, "The" should be dropped since the Thing is often referred to with a lowercase "the". Due to the fact that there are two changes in the title I am proposing, I'd appreciate if we voted the following ways: Support both, Support first/second and oppose second/first, and Oppose both. EDIT: Apologies in advance to whomever closes this request, I hope I am not making determining consensus difficult. ThePoggingEditor (talk) 18:37, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Miles (disambiguation) → MilesMiles – The WP:PLURALPT argument for the current layout is fairly obvious, because mile is a common term with a primary topic. Nevertheless, Mediawiki doesn't let us distinguish uppercase Miles from lowercase miles. The lowercase miles is what qualifies for the plural primary topic, but the uppercase does not, as it is ambiguous with a common human names, Miles (given name) and Miles (surname), for which we have hundreds of biographies with a lot of usage and significance, so it stands to reason we'd want to help people reach those. Here's my analysis of some of the standard WP:DPT indicators: * A comparison of all-time page views between the Miles redirect and the hatnote destination shows a similar level of interest for both. If the primary redirect was good, we'd expect the hatnote destination to be less commonly seen by the readers. * The meta:Research:Wikipedia clickstream statistics sadly squash redirect data and anonymize, so we can't be completely sure, but WikiNav view of clickstreams at Mile does show 149 identifiable clicks last month on the Miles hatnote. With 231 total views of the redirect, that's probably ~65% readers who came to miles but then had to use the navigation aid. With a good primary redirect, we'd expect this to be much lower. * Google Books Ngrams for miles, Miles and adjoining words shows that the lowercase word is quite a bit more common than the uppercase, but far less so than historically. Also, while lowercase seems to have a primary topic, the uppercase is clearly ambiguous, with a lot of human name usage. * All-time mass views from Miles (disambiguation) show the mile article with 830 views a day on average, which seems like a lot, but it's actually less than the random Nintendo game that happens to be on the list. If we look at the all-time mass views for all items at the given name list and at the surname list, we can see that Miles Teller has over 6,300 views/day, likewise for Ken Miles over 6,300/day, Miles Davis has over 3,600/day, Miles Morales over 2,000/day, Miles Heizer over 1,300/day, Vera Miles over 1,200/day, both Ben Miles and Les Miles over 900/day, Miles Jupp over 700/day, Robert Miles, Sarah Miles, Miles Kane and Miles Caton all over 500/day, etc. Based on this, it seems likely that the average English reader does not associate this term that strongly with any single topic. The overall educational value and long-term significance of this group of topics is at least comparable with the unit, so there's no primary topic in that regard, either. This move wouldn't fix the natural issue of these lists being very crowded, but it would at least reduce the amount of clicks to reach them. It would also avoid the implication that this term is largely unambiguous. Likewise, we can check the impact on the current body of articles and the editors. Over time as this has been redirected, we've accumulated only 160+ links. This indicates that people have probably been disambiguating these naturally already. It's also possible to glean the form with which these links were made: it looks like only a few dozen were in the form of [[miles]] compared to many times more in the split form [[mile]]s, but the search engine times out on these complex queries, so this is not a reliable comparison. Either way the ceiling is definitely only 160+ so it's not a lot of work (and I volunteer to do it). So I think we should disambiguate Miles for the readers by doing this move. The list layout should remain largely the same, with mile singular being on top. If we do that, it'll be more natural for readers, and I don't think there's a big chance of surprising anyone. The following month of statistics will tell us how search engines and readers reacted to the change and provide even clearer indicators of usage. I should also note that mi, a common short form of miles, is disambiguated, and clicks on mile from there don't appear in a volume identifiable by the clickstream stats. Likewise, I didn't want to move this boldly - this has been known to be ambiguous since at least 2004, but mostly stable since the undiscussed move in 2007. --Joy (talk) 12:01, 14 October 2026 (UTC)
