Technical requests
[edit]Uncontroversial technical requests
[edit]- Draft:2025 Valenzuela local elections → 2025 Valenzuela local elections (currently a redirect instead to 2025 Philippine general election) (move · discuss) – move to main article namespace — JL 09 talkcontribs 15:53, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Dracunculus medinensis → Guinea worm (currently a redirect back to Dracunculus medinensis) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME. – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 01:51, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Any evidence for this? C F A 02:29, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Vial (band) → VIAL (currently a redirect instead to Vial (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – As mentioned on the talk page for the current "Vial (band)" article, it is functionally unanimous that the correct way of writing the name of the band is VIAL, not Vial. The change is currently not possible since the current article for "VIAL" is taken as a redirect to an Indian airport that seems to have no relation to the word as itself, an initialism, or an abbreviation. Tealyt (talk) 05:34, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- MOS:ALLCAPS suggests we shouldn't do this. — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Retargeted VIAL to Vial (disambiguation) for now. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 11:58, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- MOS:ALLCAPS suggests we shouldn't do this. — Amakuru (talk) 09:46, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- The recent trend of bands YELLING their names in all caps is usually a publicity tactic that causes great consternation around here. Whenever I get something in the mail my name is printed in uppercase but that doesn't mean my name is "stylized in all caps" for official purposes. Unless there is evidence that this band's name is an acronym for a longer four-word name, the article title can stay as-is. See also Flo (group) as a possible precedent. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:45, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- List of parliamentary constituencies in Hertfordshire → Parliamentary constituencies in Hertfordshire (currently a redirect back to List of parliamentary constituencies in Hertfordshire) (move · discuss) – Not a simple list article and to bring the page into line with other page titles in Category:Lists of constituencies of the Parliament of the United Kingdom in England Dgp4004 (talk) 15:26, 30 December 2024 (UTC)}}
- Royal Challengers Bangalore (WPL) → Royal Challengers Bengaluru (WPL) (currently a redirect back to Royal Challengers Bangalore (WPL)) (move · discuss) – Per consensus at Special:Permalink/1266197466#Requested move 23 December 2024. –𝐎𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐬 𝐀𝐥 𝐐𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢 ʕʘ̅͜ʘ̅ʔ 16:36, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
[edit]- Social media influencer → Influencer (currently a redirect back to Social media influencer) (move · discuss) – Please revert absolutely undiscussed move by the user InfiniteNexus. Jack Lennon Robbinson (talk) 09:38, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
[edit]- Earth religion → Earth-centered religion (currently a redirect back to Earth religion) (move · discuss) – Makes more sense as mentioned as Earth-centered religion throughout the article. AimanAbir18plus (talk) 14:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- United States amusement park accidents → Amusement park accident (move · discuss) – WP:SINGULAR, article not supposed to cover only accidents in the US and contains lists that include global incidents, Template:Globalize placed to address the potential issue –Tobias (talk) 21:28, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- It's been at its current title for almost two years which IMO is a bit late to revert a previously undiscussed WP:BOLDMOVE. Unsure a case for globalization should be made here given the article currently only covers US amusement part incidents and Incidents at European amusement parks already exists in a much more advanced state. Note there is a previous version of the article that had much more thorough coverage of US incidents here before it was gutted in 2022; perhaps that could be fixed up.Further discussion would probably help here.

- Disney Junior (Southeast Asian TV channel) → Disney Junior (Southeast Asia) (currently a redirect back to Disney Junior (Southeast Asian TV channel)) (move · discuss) – "Disney Junior/Jr." is a TV channel by definition. The "TV channel" DAB is unnecessary. Intrisit (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2024 (UTC)
- There's Disney Jr. (programming block), which is not a TV channel, so the current disambiguation tag is correct. See WP:NCBC. 162 etc. (talk) 19:12, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- The programming block is for the original American Disney Channel only! If there are other programming blocks with this name, none are as notable as this, hence/thus has its own article! This is for Southeast Asia, which may or may not have a programming block with this name, but like I stated, it'll be non-notable compared to this one. Intrisit (talk) 12:41, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Intrisit Your requested move has been contested. If you wish to proceed, you will need to click "discuss" in your original request to continue with a requested move discussion. RachelTensions (talk) 04:21, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Three (3) RMs (1, 2 & 3) have been (already) done for similar but different titles. If 162 etc. answers my question, de-list as withdrawn and I'll start an RfC on it like Gonnym stated in those RMs. Intrisit (talk) 12:49, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- Three RMs that should've been relisted for further participation or closed as "no consensus" once the arguably WP:Canvassed participant was discounted don't exactly strongly support a broad renaming of all related articles. RachelTensions (talk) 15:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- @Laerodar: please click "discuss" above to start a discussion. This article has been moved in other direction in 2022, so it is not uncontroversial and requires a full discussion. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 02:47, 27 December 2024 (UTC)

- Star Life (Latin American TV channel) → Star Life (Latin America) (currently a redirect back to Star Life (Latin American TV channel)) (move · discuss) – There's no other notable use of the "Star Life" brand in Latin America apart from the TV channel. Intrisit (talk) 14:18, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
- @Intrisit See above requests. C F A 17:34, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

- @IJohnKennady "Altaf Bukhari" appears to be the common name. Feel free to start a discussion. C F A 02:31, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Venkateswara → Venkateshwara (currently a redirect back to Venkateswara) (move · discuss) – Correct spelling as per Hunterian transliteration Tstcikhthys1 (talk) 13:04, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
