  • SharavathiSharavati – (Discuss) – I request the name of this page be changed to "Sharavati". "th" in place of "t" is used only in a few southern districts of Karnataka and Tamilnadu state. Rest of the India uses the name Sharavati --Relisted. Armbrust The Homunculus 23:34, 10 February 2014 (UTC) PuttuHegde (talk) 19:51, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Castle of São JorgeSão Jorge Castle – (Discuss) – While the name in Portuguese directly translates to Castle of São Jorge, in English it's just not right. São Jorge Castle not only sounds right its correct by common practice of names in English (using the "X" of "X" is often awkward in English, spare names and officialities, i.e. Henry of Wales, City of San Jose). While I had originally opted for standardization amongst Portuguese castles, there is legitimate reason why this article should not follow this Castle of "X" plan, which I fully support for most other Portuguese castles, this is because the name of the castle is not toponymic. While it's completely reasoned to say the Castle of Beja, as it is the castle of the city of Beja, saying the Castle of São Jorge (saint George) makes no sense. I hope I have explained myself well and that we may change this. Apart from all this, in English its almost purely referred to as São Jorge Castle or Saint George's Castle, the former having higher popularity. Thank you.

  • Lancelot "Capability" BrownCapability Brown – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:STAGENAME. As our article says, and as the references support, this person was most commonly known as Capability Brown. STAGENAME says to avoid "adding a nickname, or a contracted version of the original first name(s) in quotes between first and last name." No, it's not an outright prohibition, but there's no need for this practice when there's a perfectly good name that hits all of the WP:CRITERIA without resorting to the nickname-in-quotes approach.

  • Los Angeles GalaxyLA Galaxy – (Discuss) – Although there was a failed requested move in September 2013 and I opposed the move at the time, I believe we have since gathered enough evidence to warrant such a move. Here are the facts:#In July 2007, after they signed David Beckham, they announced a new uniform and a new logo, where "Los Angeles" was replaced by "LA".#Since then, the team's web site was changed to lagalaxy.com.#On the team web site, the team is almost always referred to as "LA", not "Los Angeles".#On MLSSoccer.com, the team is almost always referred to as "LA" (notable exception: [1]).#Other sites still use "Los Angeles", but those numbers are fewer than those that use "LA" (see chart in previous move request).#The team's legal name is "Anschutz LA Soccer". You can verify this at the California Secretary of State web site (search for entity number C2499354). The company's registered address listed there is the same as that of Anschutz Entertainment Group.Unfortunately, because this took place so long ago, it is now impossible to find a press release or some other official statement wherein the name change is explicitly stated. However, here is some circumstantial evidence:#According to a tweet by the Galaxy marketing team, "LA Galaxy" is the official name of the club.#An interview with Alexi Lalas, who was general manager of the team in 2007 during the rebranding, states, "As the first Los Angeles based team to switch to LA officially..." (note that this is not a direct quote by Lalas, but a paraphrasing by the article author).#A blog entry from The Dallas Morning News states, "Side note: the club has been just LA Galaxy since their re-brand, not Los Angeles Galaxy."#This soccer writer's style guide: "Note: The official team name is the LA Galaxy, not the Los Angeles Galaxy. The full city name was dropped when the franchise rebranded in 2007." The style guide is written by David Agrell (see the site's WHOIS information), who is a former staff writer for MLSSoccer.com (see his LinkedIn profile and an example article: [2]). The style guide claims that "it serves as the official style guide for MLSsoccer.com."#The team's official brand assets refer to the team throughout as "LA Galaxy", although "Los Angeles Galaxy" is still noted as being acceptable. howcheng {chat} 17:29, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
  • List of 2014 Indian Premier League personnel changesIPL Auction 2014 – (Discuss) – "IPL Auction 2014" is already a redirecting page fro the the present page. But here I would like to request to change the name of the page to the proposed name as it is the more commonly used and referred term. Also a google search fro "IPL 2014 auction" does not even show the present page on 1st page of search.Althoght it does shows 2014 IPL page. This limits the reach of page. Also India being primary domain of this page proposed name would be easier for a bigger number of readers to understand than the present one. This move is also proposed for previos years IPL auction pages. Shabbygame (talk) 16:25, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Caste system among Indian ChristiansCaste system among Christians – (Discuss) – Previously, for months, it was named as "Caste system among Christians", but Casta and caste system of africa were disputed by other editor on here. Right now, there is evident caste system, among christians in Sri Lanka,[3] it can be extended, it has been discussed. And there is caste discrimination in Pakistan.[4] So this page should cover multiple countries, once again. Bladesmulti (talk) 14:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Pac (wrestler)Adrian Neville – (Discuss) – Has used the "Adrian Neville" ring name for more than a year. His greatest exposure, by far, has come from this name. None of the organizations he wrestled as "PAC" have the same worldwide outreach as WWE. GeicoHen (talk) 14:15, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Sweet Nothing (song)Sweet Nothing (Calvin Harris song) – (Discuss) – The discussion of the second RM above strongly suggests to me that the first would not succeed if proposed today, to the point that I think this should be tested. The possibility of a move review was raised with the closer of the first RM, but they have requested for what seem to me to be valid reasons that we go to a fresh RM instead, see above.

[edit]
  • Massacre at Krusha e MadheMassacre at Velika Kruša – (Discuss) – As this article relates to a period prior to Kosovo's declaration of independence, I think many editors will agree that it is important for the sake of historical accuracy to use place names as they were prior to 2008. Massacre at Velika Kruša has 45,800 results on Google while Massacre at Krusha e Madhe 41,500 results I also must point out that reports by human rights groups were compiled by interviewing Albanian eyewitnesses and by assessing official reports from the time, which is probably why the place is referred to as both Velika Kruša and Krusha e Madhe in various contemporary reports. 23 editor (talk) 20:14, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Decoupling (disambiguation)Decoupling – (Discuss) – I killed "decoupling" because is was nothing but inflated disambig page that collected totally unrelated topics. THere is nothing to write about the word "decoupling" itself beyond dicdef. - Altenmann >t 16:07, 9 February 2014 (UTC) - Altenmann >t 16:07, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Mark Read (singer)Mark Read – (Discuss) – No one else called Mark Read (apart from the criminal, whose real name isn't used in the title of his article), and therefore really no need for a disambig page either. Unreal7 (talk) 15:27, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • More! More! More!More! More! More! (Capsule album) – (Discuss) – Per WP:TITLE "Recognizability". The Japanese album gets no hits in English Google books. Although the ! ! ! aren't attached to the disco hit single+album More, More, More the current titling of the Japanese album is confusing and adding (Capsule album) to what is after all an article about a 2008 album by a Japanese electronic duo called Capsule is not in any way hurting those looking for the 2008 album by a Japanese electronic duo called Capsule rather than the disco standard. In ictu oculi (talk) 09:19, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • 3 (Britney Spears song)3 (song) – (Discuss) – This is the only song with this name that has it's own page. The other song with this page was redirected because it fails to meet criteria. I would move the article myself, but it was requested to be moved to this so I figured it warranted a discussion. Shadow (talk) 05:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Rancho San Antonio County ParkRancho San Antonio Open Space Preserve – (Discuss) – The county park is a small thing, basically just the bit east of the water tank. The article currently states that the park is 3800 acres, but this is wrong; it's really only 165 acres (see this link). Most of the land and most of the hiking is in the open-space preserve but not in the park. Many of the specific features mentioned in the article are actually in the open-space preserve but not in the park (including both the pictures, I think, though I'm not quite sure of that). Alternatively, the articles could be de-merged (they were apparently merged about four years ago), as the park and the OSP do seem to be distinct entities, but that strikes me as going overboard given that there's no obvious transition when you leave the park and go into the OSP Trovatore (talk) 03:58, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • ChimborazoChimborazo (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – The primary topic of the word "Chimborazo" in the English language is the massive mountain in Ecuador. The other possible meanings are less significant to an encyclopedia, named something else, or both. Most of them are derived from the mountain's name, not that that matters much, but I'm just saying. The disambiguation page has unfortunately been viewed 1500 times in the past 90 days, which is a lot and suggests a lot of people come here looking for some article and yet do not find it. Hmm, wonder which article that is. The mountain's article has been read 46,000 times in the past 90 days (~10% of that over a specific 2-day period). I actually recommend looking at those pageview statistics just because there's an unusually prominent mountain there--just like Chimborazo! There's also a hospital called Chimborazo Hospital--apart from partial title match issues, it only got 600 views. The province in Ecuador is doubtlessly the most significant other topic, but it only received 1400 pageviews. (By the way; if there were a Nepalese province called Everest Province, would we make Everest a disambiguation page?) The Battle of Chimborazo is basically another partial title match and got just 300 views. There's a park in Virginia (wow, we are scraping the bottom of the barrel here!) with 700 views, and another partial title match for a district near that park with 100 views. All this to say, unsurprisingly, the main thing people are looking for when they search for Chimborazo is the big honking mountain in Ecuador whose peak is farther from the center of the earth than any other mountain on the planet (even Everest). The mountain called Chimborazo is an incredibly important topic and easily the most likely target for readers. Have a wonderful day. Red Slash 03:22, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Castile-La ManchaCastilla-La Mancha – (Discuss) – This is a semi-translation that has essentially no currency in any language. Don't mistake the subject of this article as the historical Castile; this is a department/state of Spain that sees relatively little English-language coverage and almost always is called "Castilla-La Mancha" in our language. I searched Google News alongside "Spain" to weed out as many Spanish-language results as possible; several seeped through anyway, but the general point is clear; there are a ton of English-language results for that title, and four for the title we currently have. One of those four is us! Castilla-La Mancha versus our current weird title, and I would hazard a guess that those three results on that page only called the department "Castile-La Mancha" because of us. The common name for the governmental province in English in the Spanish name, Castilla-La Mancha. Red Slash 00:00, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Steve Bullock (Montana politician)Steve Bullock – (Discuss) – The governor of Montana is significantly more notable than a mayor, who is the only other person named Steve Bullock notable enough to be on the encyclopedia. (There are two other fellows who spell their names differently, but neither is particularly relevant). Google News results were almost entirely about the governor. Note that Steve Bullock has redirected here for almost a year. Red Slash 23:42, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
  • HR 4523HD 102365 – (Discuss) – This star is more commonly referred to by this designation, as seen in SIMBAD and in Google Scholar results (while the HR designation does technically show up more in GS results, many of these are about a bill named "HR 4523", and not about the star). StringTheory11 (t • c) 20:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Collapsed lungCollapsed lung (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – Of the three titles on this page, I would contend that the one people think of when they hear the phrase "collapsed lung" is Pneumothorax, the condition associated with a traumatic lung collapse due to an accident wherein the lung is punctured. The second, less prominent medical meaning, and the relatively little-known band, could even be addressed sufficiently in a redirect hatnote. However, with three topics, it is fair to keep the disambiguation page at a (disambiguation) title. Relisted. bd2412 T 17:54, 8 February 2014 (UTC) bd2412 T 17:45, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
  • Last daysLast days (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – There are two separate reasons for this move. First, most of the works mentioned on this page are "The Last Days", with both a "The" preceding and all of the words capitalized. I believe this is a pretty clear WP:DIFFCAPS case. Second, all incoming links for the lowercase phrase (and even most for the capitalized phrase) refer to the religious idea of an end time. Since none of the works on the page is well known, this would indicate that end time is the primary topic of last days, possibly at any capitalization (although definitely in the lowercase). bd2412 T 17:51, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Idea Star SingerStar Singer – (Discuss) – The show's name doesn't have Idea attached to it. It's simply Star Singer, and Idea is simply the sponsor. The new season is titled Sunfeast Delishus Star Singer. I guess it is safe to rename the page to Star Singer. ごだい (会話) 15:52, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Turkish invasion of Cyprus1974 Cyprus war – (Discuss) – Rationale for the proposed page name change:
    1. Fair Approach, Neutrality, Objectivity:
    This way of entitling the article ("1974 Cyprus war") avoids any qualifying of the war and hence results almost no conflict. Definitely, this way of titleing the article is far more fair approach towards the "invasion/interference" POVs. When one use "invasion" (or equally the "interference") to depict the war in 1974 and hence thereby the entitling in Wikipedia, there are millions of Wikipedians on both sides of the conflict who oppose this way of qualifying the war (the qualifying is rejected by one of the sides in each cases). On the other hand, the sides accepts the existing of the "war".
    2. Almost closed to objections:
    Nobody can deny anything about each of the words in "1974 Cyprus war": It happened in 1974 and the operation finished in 1974; It was in Cyprus island; It was war. Even the Turkish Cypriots entitling it as "peace operation" accept that it was war. "peace operation" is rather to qualify the nature of the war, according to them, I think.
    3. Google Search:

    NGram shows very very sharp decline after 1979 decision of Greece's court, and the usage "Turkish invasion of Cyprus" is deflating continuosly.: NGram.4. Robust proofs of the parties in discussion:
    I am giving the following not for supporting the "intervention" side, but to support each side ("invasion"ers, "intervention"ers) has robust proofs to some extent. I will not give the robust proofs of "invasion"ers since they are known to the many participants of the discussion as well. I added the followings especially for those who do not know the followings.
    The Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE): (29.07.1974, Res. 573) "Turkish military intervention was the exercise of a right emanating from an international Treaty and the fulfilment of a legal and moral obligation."
    Greece's Athens Court of Appeals (21.03.1979): "The Turkish military intervention in Cyprus, which was carried out in accordance with the Zurich and London Accords, was legal".
    5. The alternatives may not be that much satisfactory:
    Some people may suggest other alternatives ("Cyprus war in 1974" or "Cyprus war of 1974"), but "1974 Cyprus war" (as in "2013-14 Euroleague") suits better in Wikipedia practice.
    6. Counter arguements of the defenders of "Turkish invasion of Cyprus":
    I know there are people who opposes the above proposal. It would be fair and ethical to bring here based on what they objected the above proposal (I added my replies as well):Δρ.Κ.: It is the WP:COMMONNAME of the invasion. That's what's called by the majority of the reliable sources. : Alexyflemming: Non-neutral but common names https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Wikipedia:COMMONNAME#Non-neutral_but_common_names
    Notable circumstances under which Wikipedia often avoids a common name for lacking neutrality include the following:
    1. Trendy slogans and monikers that seem unlikely to be remembered or connected with a particular issue years later
    2. Colloquialisms where far more encyclopedic alternatives are obvious
    T*U: Somehow you forgot to mention the main clause: In such cases, the prevalence of the name ... generally overrides concern that Wikipedia might appear as endorsing one side of an issue. The prevalence of the name "Turkish invasion of Cyprus" for what happened in 1974 is so obvious in English language literature that it is the only possible choice for the title. : Alexyflemming: As you state: "...generally overries...", not "...always overrides..."!. Also, English language literature well metions the events of that period as "the war in 1974" as well. Hence, "Turkish invasion of Cyprus" is not the only possible choice for the title.

  • Sundarbans Reserve ForestSundarbans – (Discuss) – This article used be titled Sundarbans, which is the world's largest mangrove forest. It was mistakenly moved to Sundarbans Reserve Forest. No such thing exists. Sundarbans have 4 reserve forests within it. 3 in Bangladesh and 1 in West Bengal. The reason for the move was avoiding edit warring, where there had never been an edit war at this article. Aditya(talkcontribs) 14:22, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Outside SatanHors Satan – (Discuss) – As far as I can tell, this film has never been released under the name "Outside Satan", and was released under its French title in all English-speaking territories, theatrically and on DVD. "Outside Satan" is an informal translation used in some publications and databases, often appearing in parentheses after the French title. The awkward translation also garbles the French multiple meanings of "outside", "except" and "get out/be gone", which is presumably why the French title was retained internationally.

  • Pere MarquettePere Marquette (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – Jacques Marquette is the primary topic for this title. All of the other entries on this dab are named for him and are much less likely to be the subject of a search for "Pere Marquette". Therefore this dab should be moved over the top of Pere Marquette (disambiguation) (which does not have any significant history) and Pere Marquette should be changed to redirect to Jacques Marquette.

  • Flor de la MarFrol de la Mar – (Discuss) – Although I supported the original move from Frol de la Mar to Flor de la Mar, I am requesting a reversal of the move now. The spelling Frol de la Mar, although apparently a misspelling, is the common name of this ship. It is spelled this way in practically all Portuguese chronicles of the time (e.g. ,e.g. Albuquerque, Barros, Correia, Couto) and my research since indicates that most secondary sources spell it this way as well. Moreover, all children's books I have come across on the Portuguese discoveries insist on spelling it Frol, indicating to me this is not merely scholarly preciseness, but the affectionate and widely-accepted spelling for this famous ship. Changing it from Frol to Flor was a mistake, akin to "correcting" the spelling of "Beatles" to "Beetles". The current article title is not even a full "correction" but a bastardization of the correct and misspelled terms (the original Portuguese would have been Flor do Mar, not Flor de la Mar, "de la" is as much a spelling "mistake" as "Frol"). The original move did not have much of any discussion and really had no basis beyond a intuitive jarring discomfort with "Frol", and really just ignored the sources. So I propose a return to the common Frol de la Mar, the spelling by which this ship is commonly known and referred to. Relisted.

  • Marek ZidlickyMarek Zidlicky – (Discuss) – Two reasons: 1) the vast majority of Czech ice hockey players are at their diacriticized name variants, 2) it appears on the talkpage that the close of the previous move was not met with much enthusiasm. The discussion itself is why I post this RM instead of just boldly moving the page. I don't see why this particular player should be an exception. HandsomeFella (talk) 20:15, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Tom Cullen (actor)Tom Cullen – (Discuss) – Tom Cullen is currently a disambiguation page linking to the actor's article and identifying two characters named Tom Cullen (neither with their own article). I think any character coverage should exist at the fictional works' articles. Maybe we can mention these characters at Thomas Cullen (a disambiguation page) instead?

  • NET ActNo Electronic Theft Act – (Discuss) – I wonder if the Manual of Style dictates the primary article name by the acronym since usually the acronym is the redirect and the full name is the article. (NBA will redirect to a disamib or National Basketball Association). If this is to be the primary, then the acronym if the official name.

  • KsiolajidebtKSIOlajidebt – (Discuss) – or KsiOlajidebt. While I was copy-editing it, I noted it says the name is a mixture from the name of his Halo clan (K.S.I.) and his name (Olajidebt). If his YouTube account is pronounced /Key Es Ai Olajidebt/ this is not a stylization as capital letters are not styles, but acronyms; and WP:MOSTM is neutral to CamelCase cases. © Tbhotch (en-2.5). 01:55, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

The Jerusalem Light Rail's website and Jerusalem Municipality's website also refer to it as "Bridge of Strings"[12][13]. Additionally, "Jersualem" is not officially part of the bridge's name, and is just where the bridge is located. –Dream out loud (talk) 00:00, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

  • OctagonalOctagonal (horse) – (Discuss) – this should redirect to octagon as the primary usage of "octagonal" is as an adjective for the polygon, and this WP:ASTONISHes as the landing point.

  • Sydney Derby (A-League)Sydney Derby – (Discuss) – Other articles which once previously occupied the desired move location no longer exist, and those that did exist had been renamed to specific 'event' titles. As such there is no need for any disambiguation page at the target location and this topic is not only the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "Sydney Derby" it is now the only topic on Wiki.

Compare [14] with [15], [16], [17], [18], [19]. The tennis player had 64 times more traffic than all the other 5 Li Na's combined — even if stats were skewed last month due to her AO win, I don't think it's farfetched to declare she IS the primary topic.

  • Chow-chowChow-chow (food) – (Discuss) – The name of this dish isn't consistently written with a hyphen, so I suspect most readers looking up this title or its redirect Chowchow are actually looking for the well-known dog breed Chow Chow.

  • Joseph SchereschewskySamuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky – (Discuss) – There has been an amicable Talk Page discussion and disagreement, though a move before consensus.To summarize:One interpretation is that the title of the article should be Samuel Isaac Joseph Schereschewsky, from which it was moved, because that is the Common Name: found almost without exception in web searches (Joseph is not found in those searches); in all but one of many Wikipedia articles; in his own published books; WorldCat authority page; standard reference works and encyclopedias both online and print; and in recent scholarship, including a recent scholarly biography.The searches:* Google Search + Joseph Schereschewsky on the first three pages gets only one hits for Joseph S., the rest are SIJS.* WorldCat Search = Joseph Schereschewsky returns books by or about SIJS. The items by "Joseph" are another person, his son.* WorldCat Authority Page = Schereschewsky, S. I. J. (Samuel Isaac Joseph) 1831-1906, doesn't give Joseph. The books by or about him use SIJS or initials, not "Joseph S."* Google Search "Joseph Schereschewsky -samuel", that is, to see how many hits there are for "Joseph S." without "Samuel," does indeed return a lot of hits, but many are to some other form of the name including "Joseph," not to "Joseph S."* Calendar of saints (Episcopal Church)#Calendar (October) gives SIJS.The other interpretation is that the article should not be moved back, but should remain Joseph: in an Anglican church prayer, for which there is one citation (online), quoted in two others, that he is called Joseph, which indicates that this is his common name and that the above argument is "pedantic." To quote::"Although they also include his full name, both THIS WEBPAGE and THIS ONE, which I am assuming are based on official Episcopal Church sources, refer to him simply in the prayers as Joseph Schereschewsky. This is a very strong indication that this is how he was commonly known by those who did actually know him."And::"It is not surprising that older and more formal sources include his full name. That was once common practice in older church sources with bishops. Such sources can be misleading as they can give the false impression that this was how bishops were normally known." ch (talk) 03:53, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

  • Film projectorFilm projector (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – The motion picture version is the primary topic of film, so it makes sense that the primary topic of Film projector would be Movie projector. Frankly, I have never heard of a slide projector being called a "film projector" at all. I would either move this disambiguation page and redirect "Film projector" to "Movie projector", or turn this page into a redirect without preserving the disambiguation page, and have a hatnote at "Movie projector" pointing to Slide projector. bd2412 T 03:01, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
  • Fascist manifestoManifesto of the Italian Fasci of Combat – (Discuss) – The full name should be used as the title of this article for several reasons:1. A "fascio" was a league, and as there were more than one such organization at the time this document was published, it is important that the full name identify this particular organization. The Italian word "fascismo" later came to represent an ideology.2. This document represents a primitive form of fascism that changed significantly into Italian fascism under the leadership of Mussolini, so it should be clear that this is not actually definitive of what "fascism" has come to mean.3. The document that did formally establish the political and ideological foundations of Italian fascism is "The Manifesto of the Fascist Intellectuals." The Doctrine of Fascism also defines the ideology much more accurately than does this so-called Fascist Manifesto.Possible controversy: It is true that this document seems to be commonly referred to as the “Fascist Manifesto.” However, it doesn't ever occur in Italian, and when this simplified term is used in English, it lends credence to the simplistic impression that fascism is fundamentally a leftist ideology (see above discussion).

  • Il bidoneIl Bidone – (Discuss) – This is the way the title seems to appear most in the United States, Great Britain, etc. with capital B. It's also the way most similar Wikipedia articles and the internet in general capitalizes foreign films that are more distributed in original foreign language.

  • What's Going On (Marvin Gaye album)What's Going On – (Discuss) – I understand the thinking behind the recent move request; however, as the overwhelming amount of readers are looking for either the song or the album, by moving the primary name to a disamb page, the bulk of readers are arriving on the wrong page and are needing to click through to their desired destination after being distracted by the disamb page. It would be preferable to direct readers to either the album or the song, and then provide a hat note: "This article is about the album/song, for the song/album, click here, for other possible meanings, click here". As the album gets 30% to 40% more readers per month, that would indicate it's the more likely contender for being the primary topic, though using the song as the primary topic would also be acceptable.

  • SamarSamar Island – (Discuss) – Fails WP:PRIMARYTOPIC: A topic is primary for a term, with respect to usage, if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term.. While there was clear support for Samar->Samar (province), there was not that much for having the plain name be associated with the island. It was not at all discussed the importance of items from India or Israel. There are many people named Samar. Some links:* Samar (name)* Samar, Israel* Samar (1999 film), a Hindi/Urdu film* Samar (2013 film), an Indian Tamil film* Samar (yacht), one of longest motor yachts* Samar cobra (Naja samarensis)If until recently the province was thought of to be primary, then it probably was close in importance to the island. But if the two are close and many others exist, how can it be assured the current name does not violate WP:PRIMARYTOPIC? I will inform WikiProject India and Israel.

  • Coach Ernie PantussoErnie Pantusso – (Discuss) – I tried to rename Emmett Brown to "Doc Emmett Brown", but the result was not moved. There is Marshal Matt Dillon, but it has "Marshal" to distinguish the fictional lead character of Gunsmoke from the actor Matt Dillon. There is no other existing character/person "Ernie Pantuso". In the show, he is always called "Coach", as Emmett Brown has been called Doc. However, people prefer omitting "Doc", so "Coach" should be omitted, as well, to be consistent with titles named after Cheers characters' full names. Alternatively, you can vote for "Ernie Pantuso", which is the accurate name of the character. Per WP:COMMONNAMES, an accurate name should be used; regardless of sources, an inaccurate name should not be used. "Pantusso" is a misspelling of the Italian surname "Pantuso"; I wonder why "reliable" sources use 'Pantusso'. This character is undeniably Italian, albeit implied.

  • Common GullMew Gull – (Discuss) – Wikiproject Birds has adopted the IOC nomenclature as its naming convention. It appears that a lot of informal conversation has already occurred regarding this species (at least since August 2009).

  • Manchester capitalismManchester School of Economics – (Discuss) – "Manchester capitalism" gives 18,000 Google results, whilst "Manchester School of Economics" gives over 634,000 results. A scholarly study of the Manchester school by W. D. Grampp is titled The Manchester School of Economics (Stanford University Press, 1960). In Morley's Life of Cobden and Trevelyan's Life of Bright the phrase "Manchester school" appears many times, "Manchester capitalism" not even once. Relisted.
