Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help 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 "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection 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. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Hangzhou–Haining Intercity Rail → Hangzhou–Haining intercity railway (currently a redirect back to Hangzhou–Haining Intercity Rail) (move · discuss) – As per WP:COMMONNAME, it seems that most sources use this name. It also matches the naming format of other Chinese rail lines on Wikipedia. Félix An (talk) 09:03, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also note the fancy-looking dash. Make sure you use the same dash that other rail line names use. I'm editing on mobile right now, so I have a hard time typing special characters. Félix An (talk) 09:06, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delano Las Vegas → W Las Vegas (move · discuss) – Hotel's name has changed, but a redirect is preventing the move. AJFU (talk) 16:17, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Note that someone has tried to do a cut-paste move, so W Las Vegas is currently not a redirect. I thought this was worth mentioning in case there's confusion. I would undo the changes to W Las Vegas, but I assume they'll be deleted anyway once the pages are properly moved. AJFU (talk) 16:50, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

Khudafarin Bridges → Khoda Afarin Bridges (currently a redirect back to Khudafarin Bridges) (move · discuss) – Correct and more common spelling Persian. Consistent with similar articles such as Khoda Afarin County, Khoda Afarin Dam, Khoda Afarin District. 116.71.186.202 (talk • contribs) 14:34, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was a discussion at Talk:Khodaafarin Bridges#Common name in February 2023 which led to the current name. Although that wasn't a formal RM, it had a small consensus amongst two participants and was almost two years ago, so I'd probably label this one as potentially controversial. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 19:53, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Asian Team Squash Championships → Asian Squash Team Championships (currently a redirect back to Asian Team Squash Championships) (move · discuss) – The correct order as per official tournament name OCDD (talk)
I'm not particularly seeing evidence that that is the official name, still less the common name. It actually seems like simply Asian Team Championships is the name generally used, without mentioning squash in the title at all, so I'd probably favour a move to that since it's not ambiguous with anything else of that name. — Amakuru (talk) 19:57, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Welfare (disambiguation) → Welfare (currently a redirect instead to Welfare spending) (move · discuss) – Not at all clear to me that "welfare spending" is the primary topic for "welfare". – Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 19:04, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This deserves a full discussion. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:49, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Titanes del Distrito → Titanes del Distrito Nacional (currently a redirect back to Titanes del Distrito) (move) – HanTsî (talk) 13:57, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@HanTsî What is the reason for this move? --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 03:22, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
full name. HanTsî (talk) 03:24, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There is no particular reason to use the full name. The policies of WP:CONCISE and WP:COMMONNAME apply here and as far as I can see many sources simply use "Titanes del Distrito". Suggest this be declined unless further evidence presented. Or HanTsî you could start a WP:RM discussion if you wish to proceed. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 11:35, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Clark Kent (Superman & Lois) → Clark Kent (Arrowverse) (currently a redirect instead to List of Supergirl characters) (move · discuss) – This article is about the whole of the Arrowverse. Yeah, Superman and Lois is the main parts but not the whole thing. EEfamilytrees (talk)
This request is not a technical request. --Gonnym (talk) 17:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lois Lane (Superman & Lois) → Lois Lane (Arrowverse) (currently a redirect instead to Lois Lane in other media) (move · discuss) – This article is about the whole of the Arrowverse. Yeah, Superman and Lois is the main parts but not the whole thing. EEfamilytrees (talk)
This request is not a technical request. --Gonnym (talk) 17:19, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Chiang Ching (dancer) → Chiang Ching (currently a redirect instead to Jiang Qing (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – An old redirect to a disambiguation page. - The9Man ^Talk 11:29, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
With Jiang Qing (a similar name under different Romanization) and Chiang Ching-kuo also in the mix, I don't think the dancer is the primary topic. Needs much better evidence and rationale if we're to go ahead. — Amakuru (talk) 12:43, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, Jiang Qing is probably the primary topic here. 162 etc. (talk) 17:04, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Chiang Ching and Jiang Qing are the exact same name (江青), just romanized under different systems. I believe precedent in the past is to consider two differently romanized versions of the same name to be, for all intents and purposes, fully ambiguous.
In this case, Jiang Qing would be the primary topic for both "Chiang Ching" and "Jiang Qing". Article on the dancer was just created 2 days ago, so I'd suggest leaving everybody where they're at for a few months and re-evaluating once we have pageview data for the newly created article.

@The9Man Not primary topic RachelTensions (talk) 18:50, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pimpari → Pimpri, Mawal (move · discuss) – name correction 103.185.174.245 (talk) 15:18, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Appears to be unambiguous. 162 etc. (talk) 17:05, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Syria TV → Syrian TV (currently a redirect back to Syria TV) (move · discuss) – official name Panam2014 (talk) 22:50, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OFFICIALNAMES is not a valid reason to move this article. Please could we have some actual evidence? I'm a little confused what "Syria(n) TV" actually is, anyway. The article says it's a channel, but it seems like it might be more of a network. Also conscious that "Syrian TV" could be a wider term referencing TV in the country generally. — Amakuru (talk) 11:51, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Amakuru: sure: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5] Panam2014 (talk) 23:31, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Lagardère Group → Lagardère (company) (move · discuss) – The company simply is known as "Lagardère" VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 20:24, 16 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 natural disambiguation is preferred over parenthesis. '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 01:49, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

John the Baptist in Islam → Yahya ibn Zakariya (currently a redirect back to John the Baptist in Islam) (move · discuss) – He has a name in Arabic and it should be used. Nobody knows him by "John the Baptist" in Islam. I would argue that "John the Baptist in Islam" violates WP:NPOV Abo Yemen ✉ 12:06, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I object to this move for two reasons:
1. You have not established that this fulfills our requirement to use the most common names from English-language sources,
2. It appears to violate WP:CONSISTENT, since we also have God in Islam, Jesus in Islam, Zechariah in Islam, etc.

Hlemmur (terminal) → Hlemmur (move · discuss) – This bus terminal is now no longer a 'terminal', evoloved into a city square. Disambiguation page Hlemmur refers to films and music referring to the town square. Drumstick21 (talk) 01:11, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Drumstick21 Do you have sources that show the station is a the primary topic? '''[[User:CanonNi]]''' (talk • contribs) 09:18, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dealbatros/Zac Poonen → Zac Poonen (move · discuss) – I made a mistake by translate the page from Dutch to English Dealbatros (talk) 21:04, 17 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dealbatros The draft as it is will not survive a NPP review. Please add sources as references first before requesting for a move. If moved now, it would simply be kicked down to the draft space. – robertsky (talk) 13:49, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

City Line (Merseytravel) → City line (Merseytravel) (currently a redirect back to City Line (Merseytravel)) (move · discuss) – To match the sentence case of the other Merseyrail lines, e.g. Wirral line, and also to follow how every Transport for London underground and overground line is named, e.g. Victoria line, Elizabeth line 10mmsocket (talk) 07:59, 18 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@10mmsocket Per the comment on this move, this should have a full move discussion given the history of the page. Please click the "discuss" link in your request above to open the discussion. --Ahecht (TALK
