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.
When not to use this page
Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:
Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:
No article exists at the new target title;
There has been no 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:..."
Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
To list a technical request: 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.
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, the Requests to revert undiscussed moves 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. 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.
Why not (stunt performer)? Does anyone know if there a naming convention that allows or forbids this disambiguation? 1isall(talk|contribs) 14:42, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
Not sure that this has been formally discussed, and there are examples of both (stuntman) and (stunt performer) tags on articles currently. Note that per MOS:GNL, we "use gender-neutral language (...) if this can be done with clarity and precision." On the other hand, we use (actor) and (actress), and I don't see that changing any time soon. Might be one to bring up at WT:NCP. 162 etc. (talk) 15:11, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
I'll also note that Dave Holmes does not appear to have a particularly notable acting career and is likely best disambiguated as Dave Holmes (television personality). 162 etc. (talk) 15:13, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
Change it to (stunt performer) if you want, just as long as it gets changed. ~2026-36900-62 (talk) 18:00, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
Most of his notability is for his career as a special counsel and justice in Utah, and for most of that career his was known as Michael Zimmerman. That can be seen in some of the article's current sources, especially #3. 7, 8. He added "Mugaku" relatively late in his career after his religious conversion. My opinion is that this makes the WP:COMMONNAME question more complicated, but I have no strong objections. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:35, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
It is true that his career as a lawyer is more notable in a macro sense than his career as a Buddhist teacher. But I just found about a dozen additional recent sources (more recent than his peak legal career) that call him Michael Mugaku Zimmerman. I added three more to the article (there were already some). Just because one part of your life is more "notable" than your later life doesn't change the fact that of the name that he now seems to go by and is known by in more recent sources--aka over the last 15 years. Utahredrock (talk) 17:21, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
The four (and there are many more) I am using on the page for the name change include the two top Utah papers: Deseret News and Salt Lake Tribune, an event page for an event at Stanford, and the Soto Zen Buddhist Association site.
Additional sources are more Buddhist centric. I didn't add these to the article, but they include: 1) Two Arrows (zen center) website. 2) White Plum Asanga website 3) Soto Zen Buddhist Association — teacher page 4) Bigmind.org: https://bigmind.org/Genpo-Roshis-Successor-Teachers 5) Entrada Institute 6) Monkfish Publishing — author page .... and there are more.

Note: The Variety article you linked to actually does refer to it as "The Adventures of Cliff Booth"; the article was just abbreviating it after mentioning the full title (as it did for the Narnia movie it also discusses). Netflix' announcement article is a primary source, so that's not independent of the subject. I'm finding most reliable sources (even many linked in the article) referring to the film as "The Adventures of Cliff Booth." -- Wikipedical (talk) 16:22, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
"Netflix' announcement article is a primary source, so that's not independent of the subject."
Sorry, can you explain what this means?
What I'm presenting is that the film actually has no title and Deadline/Variety/etc are listing a title that's not been confirmed by Netflix or people on the film, but it sounds like that's not considered an issue for the purposes of this article. Iheartmylibrary22 (talk) 16:32, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
Sure, User:Iheartmylibrary22, see WP:PSTS (of WP:NOR) and WP:V. Reliable secondary sources are much preferred to primary sources. For example, because the Netflix announcement (which is a primary source because Netflix is producing the movie) didn't announce a title, you inferred that the movie is untitled, which is not the same thing. -- Wikipedical (talk) 16:34, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
Also, looking at the page's edit history again, you moved the page without a discussion, and someone reverted that move. Here you're looking to have your bold move restored, which I'm now contesting. Open a move request if you're still pursuing this. -- Wikipedical (talk) 17:29, 24 June 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.
Requesting a single page move
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 27 June 2026" 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:
{{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}}
The |1= unnamed parameter is not used. The |current1= and |new1= parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
Requesting multiple page moves
A single template may be used to request multiple related moves. On one of the talk pages of the affected pages, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for three page moves is shown here (for two page moves, omit the lines for current3 and new3). For four page moves, add lines for current4 and new4, and so on. There is no technical limit on the number of multiple move requests, but before requesting very large multi-moves, consider whether a naming convention should be changed first. Discuss that change on the talk page for the naming convention, e.g., Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (sportspeople).
To request a multiple page move, edit at the bottom of the talk page of the article you chose for your request, without adding a new header, inserting this code:
{{subst:requested move| current1 = Current title of page 1 (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
Request all associated moves explicitly
Please list every move that you wish to have made in your request. For example, if you wish to move Cricket (disambiguation) to Cricket because you do not believe the sport is the primary topic for the search term "Cricket", then you actually want to move two pages, both Cricket (disambiguation)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:
Use when the proposed new title is given. Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst:. This tag should be placed at the beginning of the section containing the relevant discussion.
Use when the proposed new title is not known. Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst:. This tag should be placed at the beginning of the section containing the relevant discussion.
This template adds subsections for survey and discussion. Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst: Click the "New Section" tab on the talk page and leave the Subject/headline blank, as the template by default automatically creates the heading.
Do not sign this template—this tag is auto-signed when substituted. Be sure to use the subst: and place this tag at the beginning of the section containing the relevant discussion. Add additional related move requests in pairs (|current3= and |new3=, |current4= and |new4=, etc.).
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.[a]
Do not make conflicting recommendations. If you change your mind, use strike-through to retract your previous statement by enclosing it between <s> and </s> after the bullets, and de-bold the struck words, as in "• SupportOppose".
Please remember that reasonable editors will sometimes disagree, but that arguments based in policy, guidelines, and evidence have more weight than unsupported statements. When an editor offers an argument that does not explain how the move request is consistent with policies and guidelines, a reminder to engage in constructive, on-topic discussion may be useful. On the other hand, a pattern of responding to requests with groundless opinion, proof by assertion, and ignoring content guidelines may become disruptive. If a pattern of disruptive behavior persists after efforts are made to correct the situation through dialogue, please consider using a dispute resolution process.
Closing a requested move
Any uninvolved editor in good standing may close a move request. Please read the closing instructions for information on how to close a move request. The simple guide to closing RM discussions details how to actually close a requested move discussion. Most requested moves should be open for seven days (168 hours) but can be withdrawn under specific circumstances as per WP:RMEC.
Alternatively, the opener of a discussion can close it only if unanimous opposition is obvious, the requested move has not had any comments yet, or the request was initiated via block evasion. As per WP:WITHDRAW, an opener of a discussion should use strikethrough on the nomination statement when it is prematurely closed through withdrawal.
Relisting a requested move
Relisting a discussion moves the request out of the backlog up to the current day in order to encourage further input. The decision to relist a discussion is best left to uninvolved experienced editors upon considering, but declining, to close the discussion. In general, discussions should not be relisted more than once before properly closing.[b] Users relisting a debate which has already been relisted, or relisting a debate with a substantial discussion, should write a short explanation on why they did not consider the debate sufficient to close. While there is no consensus forbidding participation in a requested move discussion after relisting it, many editors consider it an inadvisable form of supervote. If you want to relist a discussion and then participate in it, be prepared to explain why you think it was appropriate.
Relisting should be done using {{subst:RM relist}}, which automatically includes the relister's signature, and which must be placed at the very end of the initial request after the move requester's signature (and subsequent relisters' signatures).
When a relisted discussion reaches a resolution, it may be closed at any time according to the closing instructions; there is no required length of time to wait before closing a relisted discussion.
If discussion has become stale, or it seems that discussion would benefit from more input of editors versed in the subject area, consider more widely publicizing the discussion, such as by notifying WikiProjects of the discussion using the template {{RM notification}}. Banners placed at the top of the talk page hosting the move request can often be used to identify WikiProjects suitable for notification.
Notes
A nominator making a procedural nomination with which they may not agree is free to add a bulleted line explaining their actual position. Additional detail, such as sources, may also be provided in an additional bullet point if its inclusion in the nomination statement would make the statement unwieldy. Please remember that the entire nomination statement appears on the list on this page.
Despite this, discussions are occasionally relisted more than once.

I am open to other suggestions on a new title, but I think the current one is misleading, since "brand name" can be read as an adjective modifying "soft drink products" ("soft drink products that have brand names"), which is redundant since nearly all products on the list are branded.

(Discuss) – Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice → Big Boy (Dick Tracy) – As mentioned in the article, the name "Alphonse Caprice" is an entirely original invention for a film adaptation which does not attempt to maintain continuity with the comic strip and made fifty-nine years after the introduction of the character and five years after the death of the character's creator. If a name had to be used, it should be Gabe Famoni, as mentioned later in the article, but as this name is even newer, though arguably more "Canon" to the strip. I think Big Boy (Dick Tracy) would be better than both of these, as Caprice does not pertain to the original character and the Famoni is obscure. Paccyd33 (talk) 09:23, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Aarón Ochoa → Aaron OchoaAaron Ochoa – I propose moving this article from Aarón Ochoa to Aaron Ochoa. The player's official current spelling, as used by Málaga CF in his official player profile and contract renewal announcement, is Aaron Ochoa / Aaron Ochoa Moloney, without the accent. The accented spelling appears to have been used in some Spanish-language media, but the club's own official sources use the unaccented form. The current title with the accent can remain as a redirect, so readers searching for Aarón Ochoa will still reach the article. ~2026-36898-91 (talk) 23:36, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Kurdish rebellions during World War I → Kurds in World War IKurds in World War I – It was briefly moved via a technical request but reverted by User:Srnec because it "changes the scope". The move follows these core policies: * WP:CONCISE: The current title is longer than necessary. "Kurds in World War I" gets straight to the point. * WP:CONSISTENT: This creates a parallel naming structure with the existing article, Kurds in World War II. Also, I can expand the article to include content beyond just armed uprisings, such as civilian life, social impacts, and tribal dynamics during the war. Zemen (talk) 23:02, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Super Leaf → Raccoon MarioRaccoon Mario – While the Super Leaf transforms Mario into Raccoon Mario, it's otherwise not the notable thing here. The gameplay possible while Mario is in raccoon/tanooki form is what sources talk about. While there is the other "Raccoon Suit"/"Tanooki Suit" transformation, that can still be lumped under "Raccoon Mario" for the purposes of the article. While this might induce an overlap with Mario#Abilities, I'm primarily concerned with accuracy, so if someone feels it should be merged at that point, they're free to nominate it - I have no real opinion on that front. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 17:01, 19 June 2026 (UTC) —Relisting.⹃Maltazarianᚾparley

(Discuss) – Steam Controller (1st generation) → Steam Controller (2015)Steam Controller (2015) – The articles fall under Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games. The convention is to use disambiguator in form of "category", e.g. (video game), (console); "year", e.g. (2000); or combination, e.g. (2012 video game). There are no results for articles featuring ordinal followed by the specifier "generation". Using combination/category may be too verbose, as the device already includes the word "controller" in its name. No WP:NC covers the subject. I propose to rename this article to use distinctor of the device used by the manufacturer, developers, and media.
(Discuss) – 21 Tauri → Asterope (star)Asterope (star) – The other named stars of the Pleiades have their names as titles, since these names are commonly used. I think this page should be moved for consistency. Here is an example of a paper about the Pleiades that uses Asterope for 21 Tauri. For context: There's been some ambiguity about the name Asterope in the past – sometimes it referred only to 21 Tauri, sometimes to the pair of 21 and 22 Tauri – but it's been recognized by the IAU as the name of 21 Tauri since 2016. There used to be a page about both stars at Asterope (star), but in 2018 they were split to their own articles and the page about the pair moved to Sterope (star), which is probably the more common spelling when used for the pair.

But I'm not sure the page should be moved to Earendel (star), since it's now unclear whether this object is a star; more recent studies find that it's likely a star cluster.

(Discuss) – First Serbian Volunteer Division → Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes Volunteer CorpsSerbs, Croats, and Slovenes Volunteer Corps – It looks like the naming of this unit was a political talking point at the time. By age, the two names are vaguely tied - the first name applied between June 1916 and April 1917. The division first saw action in September '16 with the Battle of Bazargic it seems. The second name applied after April '17, during their late '17 migration to the Salonika front, and January 1918, when it was merged into the Yugoslav Division.

(Discuss) – Soda → Soda (disambiguation)Soda (disambiguation) – This was RM'd 9 years ago, but that discussion didn't touch on complete versus partial title matches (PTMs). It is true that the word "soda" is not the primary way to describe soft drinks in much of the world, but it does not flow from that that the word "soda" lacks a primary topic in global English. There are, as of this moment, 51 other entries on the disambiguation page. All of the entries in § Chemistry are not usually shortened to "soda": sodium bicarbonate is "baking soda"; soda lime is a mix of caustic soda and quicklime, so would not be shortened to just the former; etc. As far as I can tell, only sodium carbonate ("soda ash"/"washing soda") is sometimes shortened to "soda", but this does not appear to be that common and isn't even listed as an alias in the article.Of the remaining entries, almost all are topics that are clearly secondary to the sense of "soft drink" (e.g. Soda (TV series) or Soda (footballer)), with the sole exception of carbonated water, a.k.a. "soda water" or (in some dialects) "soda". So here we can look to WikiNav: In May, 71.06% of clicks went to Soft drink, compared to 7.15% to Sodium carbonate and 4.91% to Carbonated water. 10:1 relative to the second-most-clicked link, and still greater than 2:1 relative to all other links, is a pretty good case for PTOPIC in my opinion. Most people typing "Soda" in to Wikipedia are looking for soft drinks, and that's true even if "Soda" isn't the primary name for soft drinks. This should be moved, with the redirect retargeted to Soft drink. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 11:34, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – 2007 Labour Party leadership election (UK) → 2007 Labour Party leadership contest – This article was created when it was expected that an election would take place, in the end there was no viable challenger and so no election process. Sources from the time and afterwards state there was no election and refer instead to a leadership contest. Current title is misleading and implies Gordon Brown was elected as leader when he was appointed unopposed. The "(UK)" disambiguation is not neccessary.

(Discuss) – Jindabyne → Jindabyne, New South WalesJindabyne, New South Wales – This page was moved from the target on 29 April as an uncontroversial technical request with the rationale that it is WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. However, the claim of primary topic is dubious - Jindabyne (film) has accumulated 330,955 all time page views, while this article only has 29,626. In addition there are several other pages that include Jindabyne in the name, including Jindabyne Dam (60,455 all time page views). To satisfy WP:PT1 it would have to be demonstrated that a reader is more likely to be searching for the town instead of the film or the dam, which is not supported by page views that suggest the film is 10x more likely to be the intended target. As it is unclear that the town is the primary topic, using placename, state to disambiguate is required per WP:NCAUST. Additionally, if the page is moved, then Jindabyne should be re-targetted to Jindabyne (disambiguation). Dfadden (talk) 05:54, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Novopavlivka offensive → Dnipropetrovsk Oblast offensive (2025–present) – I had already expressed concerns over this article's scope at Talk:Novopavlivka offensive#Scope (I'll be pinging some users from that discussion). Essentially I expressed some doubt over the decision to focus this article on the settlement of Novopavlivka. To me it seemed back then, and still does, that this article focused more simply on Russian advances into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast than on this little settlement. The article itself currently states the following: The locality itself [Novopavlivka] is not particularly strategic, though its location just over the border of the Dnipropetrovsk region makes it significant as Russia has not entered this oblast in the first three years of their full-scale invasion. Therefore, it would mainly mark a moral blow for Ukraine, should Russia cross into the Dnipropetrovsk region and seize Novopavlivka. It puts more weight on the simple fact that Russia has reentered this oblast than on the advances towards this particular settlement, and I would argue WP:RS coverage has focused more on this too. Novopavlivka is a small settlement of 3,439 people (2001). Typically we've had articles on offensives on specific settlements for small towns, larger than this one. I Know I'm Not Alone, the author of much of this article, did make some fair defense on the use of Novopavlivka as the article's focus at the aforementioned discussion. Nonetheless, as you can see on the map (outdated by the way), most of the territory taken during the offensive covered in this article is located in a different part of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, near Velykomykhailivka. IiSmxyzXX also made some argumentation on this point and on the notion that this offensive being focused on Novopavlivka specifically might be WP:OR. I believe sources have focused more on the simple fact that Russia has achieved advances in a different oblast beyond Donetsk Oblast. This article is notable in my opinion largely due to this psychological and PR effect. Sources cited in this article seem to struggle giving this offensive a particular strategic sense, and I don't think there's many capable of doing this among the sources not already cited. Thus, I would like to propose renaming this article to better reflect its focus on, simply, Russian advances into this oblast beyond the Donbas region. It is necessary to differentiate these advances from the ones that took place in 2022 (see more at Russian occupation of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast#2022) and also to note the fact that this offensive is apparently still ongoing (though this article should be updated after the events of the 2026 Southern Ukraine counteroffensive). Such a format title is already employed in this topic area (e.g. Russo-Ukrainian war (2022–present), Dnieper campaign (2022–present)) and it suggests treating the topic in a similar fashion to other in my opinion comparable cases, such as the 2025 Sumy offensive. We could still mention Novopavlivka in some section header, it would be completely fair in my view to divide this article into two axes, one for Novopavlivka and another for Velykomykhailivka (we've already done stuff like this, see the sections at 2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive). "Dnipropetrovsk offensive (2025–present)" could also be an alternative WP:CONSISTENT with the aforementioned Sumy offensive that has taken place in the oblast and not the city, and in this particular case it would be unambiguous as the capital is not called Dnipropetrovsk but Dnipro. But then we also have Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign for example. And given the apparent lack of a strategic single focus, with this article focusing more on military engagements taking place on a specific defined area, "campaign" might be a better choice over "offensive". I invite editors to discuss all possible options. Regards, SuperΨDro 00:21, 18 June 2026 (UTC) —Relisting.Jeffrey34555 (talk) 21:02, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Woolworths Group (Australia) → Woolworths GroupWoolworths Group – Woolworths Group is one of Australia's largest companies by revenue, generating billions annually. The reason Australia is specified in the name is to prevent confusion with the former Woolworths Group in the United Kingdom. However, this Woolworths Group in the UK only existed for a few years, and mainly consisted of one retailer and a couple of distribution companies. It does not have its own Wikipedia page like this one as it does not appear to be significant enough. Whereas, Woolworths Group in Australia consists of many more public-facing entities (Woolworths supermarkets, Woolworths Metro and Big W).

Despite having significantly less content, page view statistics for that article shows 11,533 lifetime views, compared to just 5215 for this Sydney suburb. This does not align with WP:PT1 which would require proof that it is much more likely that a reader is searching for the Sydney suburb instead of the park in England, or otherwise a consensus regarding which is the primary topic.

(Discuss) – Exit tax → Exit tax (disambiguation)Exit tax (disambiguation) – I'd like to propose the above rename of Exit tax pages cluster. Currently, Expatriation tax is the largest content page, talking about personal exit taxes in different countries. But, "expatriation tax" is a very US-specific legal term, hardly used in other contexts. "Exit tax" is far more common in the context of other countries, e.g. used by the big 4 tax consultancies: PWC, KPMG, EY, and also often enough colloquially when talking about that US tax. Originally, Expatriation tax page was in fact created about the US tax, but since it has since grown a lot to cover the situation in other countries, I think a rename to a better term is in order now. After the rename, the US-specific section could later be split off to Expatriation tax again. The other content page in the cluster, Exit taxation is just a stub about corporate exit taxes (EU ATAD rules etc). Since "exit tax" and "exit taxation" are synonyms, it ought to be renamed to something unambiguous, like Exit tax (corporate) or Corporate exit tax. Ivanktw (talk) 10:17, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

There was some discussion of this in the previous 2015 move. While Old IRA is informally sometimes used to refer to the period between the revolutionary era and the troubles, that specific use is uncommon enough colloquially (and from what I've seen in academic sources, virtually absent) to not justify this change. — Knightoftheswords 07:48, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Counter-Japanese resistance volunteers in China → Anti-Japanese resistance volunteers in ChinaAnti-Japanese resistance volunteers in China – Per WP:COMMONNAME. See Google Trends, for instance. All of these pages seem to have been moved by User:Huangdan2060 on 8 April 2024 on the grounds that they are (supposedly) the "formal translation"; looking through their contributions I did not see any process by which they consulted the community on this mass movement of pages or any concrete proof that their proposed names were more common. The justification seems to be a (now-inaccessible) page trying to argue the semantics between whether the term 抗日 (a term whose literal meaning is "resistance to Japan") accurately means "anti-Japanese", contrasted with the term 反日 (a term which does quite literally mean "anti-Japanese"). See here for the precise citation that was used to justify this. Regardless of the literal meaning of these two terms, I do not find semantics or literal definitions of terms to be compelling reasons for this move, especially in the face of WP:COMMONNAME and the English-language awkwardness of "counter-X" as opposed to "anti-X" as an adjective/descriptor. ~2026-36731-51 (talk) 02:10, 25 June 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Steam Machine → Steam MachinesSteam Machines – Steam Machines is a (discontinued) family of small form factor gaming computers, and a marketing term. The concept described by the article is plural, the article body already uses plural form. As it describes multiple devices, with differing names, some not including "Steam Machine" in their name moniker, using Steam Machine does not seem appropriate. I propose renaming it to Steam Machines, which will also align with marketing logotype used on the page and by Valve Corporation. There also exists Valve Steam Machine (prototype), from 2013, that was released in only 300 units (see section in the article of this talk page). 2026 Steam Machine's current Steam Machine (computer) title is also confusing. I'm not sure what it should be renamed to, I'm open to suggestions, and myself suggest Steam Machine (2026), or Steam Machine (2026 computer). I'm against using WP:DIFFCAPS title of just Steam Machine, as steam machine redirects to steam engine. Steam Machine (capitalized) should probably redirect to steam machine (disambiguation).

(Discuss) – Internal Revenue Code section 1 → Internal Revenue Code Part I – This is a proposal for a broadening of the scope of this article that would also necessitate renaming. This article was recently the subject of a deletion discussion, where there was a solid consensus to keep, but there were also concerns expressed by the dissenting minority about the narrowness of the topic. I therefore propose to rename this article so as to expand coverage to the entirety of Part I (titled "Tax on Individuals") containing the first five sections of the statute, all of which involve or have involved imposing and defining the individual income tax. For example, section 1, though by far the most important section of the part, uses terms like "surviving spouse" and "head of household" that are formally defined in section 2.

(Discuss) – Tornado outbreak of March 13–16, 2025 → Tornado outbreak of March 14–16, 2025Tornado outbreak of March 14–16, 2025 – Most credible sources refer to this as March 14-16, and one tornado seperated by well over a day is not grounds to group in the outbreak. Such sources include ClimateCentral (NOAA spinoff from original billion dollar list after it was stopped), and the Monthly Climate Report for March 2025, also by NOAA. If the 13th had more tornado spinups in California I would certainly be more open to keeping it as it would fall under the outbreak definition, but one single tornado with a 36 hour gap before the main outbreak started? That’s just borderline WP:SYNTH/WP:OR. I would be open to still mentioning the California tornado still be mentioned in the Met synop, but instead mention that although it was spawned from the same trough, it is not associated with the outbreak. I know last year there was the whole mess of an RM that happened with this that frankly should not have been as such, especially since it was tainted by sockpuppetry, and I’m aware this RM is probably gonna attract some sockpuppets too.

(Discuss) – Model Farms → Model Farms, New South WalesModel Farms, New South Wales – This page was recently moved from the target on the grounds that it was WP:PRIMARYTOPIC with no prior discussion. However, there is already a page called Model farms (lower case "f") that redirects to Demonstration farm. This has created an issue where the search result will differ depending on whether the term is input with uppercase or lowercase letters. There are also no hat notes on either page to account for this. The lifetime pageviews for Demonstration farm is over 39,000. The lead at Demonstration farm includes "model farm" as a bolded alternative name in the first sentence (although the redirect from "model farms" itself has only a bit over 100 pageviews). Model Farms, New South Wales had only 4766 lifetime pageviews at the time of the move. Determining WP:PRIMARYTOPIC is generally determined by consensus and requires us to consider a term with respect to usage if it is highly likely—much more likely than any other single topic, and more likely than all the other topics combined—to be the topic sought when a reader searches for that term. Based on the page view numbers, it is difficult to conclude that a reader searching the term "model farms" is seeking information on a relatively obscure locality within the Sydney suburb of Winston Hills as opposed to the much more likely alternative term for demostration farms. In the absence of a consensus around primary topic, disambiguation is required per WP:NCAUST. Dfadden (talk) 09:45, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Grillz → Grillz (song) – The term grillz is a plural form of grill (i.e. the dental jewelry), as stated in the Wiktionary entry for grillz and in the lead section of the Grill (jewelry) article. The jewelry is the primary topic in terms of both usage and long-term significance. While the 2005 Nelly song is a work that describes the experience of wearing grillz, the jewelry predates the song by over two decades and also postdates the song's phase of popularity.A 2023 retrospective review of the song by Stereogum noted the song's relatively limited impact despite its #1 peak chart position in the US ("'Grillz' didn't exactly leave a seismic impact on the world, the way some of Nelly's earlier hits had done. But it's a fun song that captured a moment.") Although the Stereogum article also states that the jewelry has declined in popularity since 2005, web searches for "grillz" show that the recent reliable source coverage of grillz almost exclusively focuses on the jewelry in both news media (e.g. within the past month) and academic media (e.g. ).As such, I propose for the article for the 2005 Nelly song (currently at Grillz) to be moved to Grillz (song), and for Grillz to redirect to either Grill (jewelry) as an {{R from plural}} or to Grill as an {{R from incomplete disambiguation}}. —Newslingertalk 22:00, 23 June 2026 (UTC); fixed link, edited to add redirect target option, and struck unreliable source 07:37, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

I noticed the move because all the related categories were also moved to the non-hyphenated version in a procedural way. It was pointing to a single dictionary definition, but the hyphenated word also appears commonly in dictionaries referring to media, such as here. Ngrams also indicates that "spin-off" is used far more often in the literary corpus. There was no convincing proof given that the non-hyphenated version is the common name, beyond vague handwaving, and in my opinion a bold move was improper in the first place. Note: The page was also moved to Spin–off (media) beforehand, but, as far as I know, an endash is the proper grammar, so it may have been moved by accident. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 06:18, 24 June 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Operation Kikusui I → Operation Ten-Ichi-Go – I hate to open another move request so soon after the last one closed, but it looks like the previous move was done without reference to sources. Unfortunately, I believe the new name chosen was incorrect. The Japanese plan for resisting the American invasion of Okinawa was named Ten-Go Sakusen (Operation Heaven). In the initial planning, Ten-Go did not include a naval component. It only included ground force elements and a series of aerial kamikaze attacks designated Kikusui Sakusen (Operation Floating Chrysanthemum). After the Emperor noted the lack of the Navy's participation, the attack by the Yamato and company was added at the last minute. This was designated Ten-Ichi-Go Sakusen (Operation Heaven 1). The Japanese Wikipedia helpfully includes the actual text of the order, with source: 「航空攻撃有利なる場合、1YBは特令により出撃し敵攻略部隊を撃滅す。本作戦を天一号作戦と呼称す」 "Should conditions for an aerial offensive prove favorable, the 1st Surface Attack Unit shall sortie under special orders to annihilate the enemy invasion force. This operation shall be designated Operation Heaven 1." Source: Official Japanese war history (Senshi Sōsho), Vol 93, pg 258-259 Each of the ten Kikusui attacks was numbered one through ten, i.e. Kikusui I, Kikusui II. Note they do not include the word Sakusen (Operation). The aerial attacks are distinguished in reliable sources from the attack by the Yamato. For example, 'Chronology of the War at Sea, 1939-1945: the Naval History of World War II' mentions the two separately (pg. 407).

Unless anyone feels that Los Americanos should be treated like a distinct stable and is notable enough for its own article, I think a move is appropriate.Charles Essie (talk) 06:14, 23 June 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Kaiserreich (video game) → Kaiserreich (video game mod)Kaiserreich (video game mod) – This is a mod, not a video game, and so we should go with the disambiguation scheme (video game mod). The previous RM, which suggested a different disambiguation in order to remove the inaccurate (video game), found no consensus because it was consumed by discussion about the recommendations in WP:NCVG being stupid. A discussion occurred, and that guideline has now been changed by me. So, let's do it. pinging previous participants, @Maltazarian, Masem, Gonnym, 162 etc., Zenphia1, and Zxcvbnm:1brianm7 (talk) 01:11, 23 June 2026 (UTC)
(Discuss) – Pitaya → Dragon fruitDragon fruit – I understand this has been a recurring proposal for this article, but I think this article should be moved to Dragon Fruit. This article mainly refers to two genuses of fruit, Stenocereus, and Selenicereus. The more common fruit, Selenicereus is mentioned more in the article than Stenocereus is. This is shown with the photos in the article, and the cultivation section. This article should be split into two, Dragon fruit, and Pitaya (Stenocereus). The current name, Pitaya is imprecise (WP:PRECISE) and we could be more specific by distinguishing between the two articles. The name Dragon Fruit is the most common name for Selenicereus fruits, as shown by Google Trends, https://trends.google.com/explore?q=dragon%2520fruit%2Cpitaya%2Cpitahaya&date=today%201-y&geo=Worldwide. Furthermore, most grocery stores use Dragon Fruit to refer to Selenicereus fruits, like Walmart, Kroger, and Tesco. https://www.walmart.com/search?q=dragon+fruithttps://www.kroger.com/search?query=dragon%20fruit&searchType=default_searchhttps://www.tesco.com/shop/en-GB/search?query=dragon+fruit&inputType=free+text. For Selenicereus fruits, the most common name is Dragon fruit, and since this article is mainly about them, it should be renamed to Dragon fruit. Pitaya is an alternative name sometimes used, but it is ambiguous with Stenocereus fruits, and not the most common name for Selenicereus fruits anyways. This article also briefly mentions Stenocereus fruits as pitaya. These fruits are more often called pitaya, but that word is ambiguous. However, Wikipedia can distinguish between the two with Pitaya (Stenocereus), with this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitaya_(Stenocereus). My proposal is we have Pitaya as a disambiguation page, Dragon Fruit for varieties of Selenicereus fruits, and Pitaya (Stenocereus) for Stenocereus fruits. Thank you for your time.

(Discuss) – Little Caesars Pizza Bowl → Motor City BowlMotor City Bowl – Reverting to the non-sponsored name of this defunct college football bowl game, which was used for 12 years compared to the sponsored name's 5-year span. Defunct bowls which ended on a sponsored name are mostly uncharted territory, but there's a bit of precedent with the San Francisco Bowl, although that one was complicated by the attempt to revive the bowl under the non-sponsored name.

(Discuss) – ICON Aircraft → Icon AircraftIcon Aircraft – Icon is not an acronym, so fails WP:ACROTITLE. On top of that most of the reliable sources within the article (and the A5 article) seem to use the non-caps form. The capitalized form in the cited references seems to mostly come from primary sourced info. There are a few secondary sources that follow the companies WP:STYLIZED form, but there are always instances of that (AVWeb looked to be the only one cited multiple times using an all-caps form, but there are even more citations from there using standard form). Recommend following the predominant form used in Flying,[1]Aviation Week,[2]Plane & Pilot,[3]Wired,[4]LA Times,[5]Wall Street Journal,[6] and the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association.[7] Perhaps the WP:COMMONNAME pre-2011 was all caps, but I see more non-caps use. -2pou (talk) 22:27, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

Recent usage includes ANI, Times of India, India Today NE, NDTV and the official Government of Assam district website, all of which refer to the district as Sribhumi.

(Discuss) – Umlaut → Umlaut (disambiguation)Umlaut (disambiguation) – We have two main articles here, Umlaut (diacritic) and Umlaut (linguistics), with Umlaut (software) being the only other full title match, and that doesn't really affect the situation. Umlaut (diacritic) has the clear advantage in pageviews (monthly is 9,387 vs 1,334) and Clickstreams shows it is the place where most readers ending up at the disambiguation page are trying to go. So I think WP:PT1 is clearly in favour of Umlaut (diacritic). I can't say there is a clear winner when it comes to WP:PT2, as Umlaut (diacritic) and Umlaut (linguistics) are intimately connected topics with a largely shared historical significance. With that in mind I think the WP:PT1 advantage in favour of Umlaut (diacritic) is enough for it to be WP:PTOPIC here. ⹃Maltazarianᚾparley

(Discuss) – Northern Thai people →? – As Noktonissian's research above and many users have pointed out, Northern Thai is not a single ethnic group, but it consists of multiple groups who inhabit the northern region of Thailand.

{{#switch:Wikipedia |Category={{error| – The __NEWSECTIONLINK__ magic word can make non-talkspace pages act like talk pages (that is, it allows signed comments to be replied to, and new sections to be added by the press of a "Add topic" button), so there is no need to keep this noticeboard in Wikipedia talk: space; it and its archives can be moved to normal project space, and then anybody wanting to discuss this noticeboard could do so on the talk page of it, which is where the noticeboard itself stands today. Not sure if this will be needed or not, but the archives will likely need to be moved with redirect suppression enabled, so Lowercase sigmabot III doesn't break. (Tl;dr I wouldn't imagine a talk page of this noticeboard being very active in the future, but in the off chance that someone does want to discuss some aspect about this noticeboard somewhere, it'd be best to have this talk page be that location.) - BlueEleephant (talk · contribs) 20:54, 21 June 2026 (UTC)

(Discuss) – Wikipedia:Deletion process → Wikipedia:Deletion processesWikipedia:Deletion processes – The title "Deletion process" implies there is a single unified process for deletion, while we actually have several distinct processes that operate independently of one another. Most obviously, CSD, PROP, and XfDs are three entirely separate mechanisms with different criteria, timescales, participants or lack thereof, and outcomes. A page that qualifies for speedy deletion bypasses discussion entirely; a PROD resolves in seven days without discussion; an XfD runs a 7-day discussion and requires a closure to close. Within XfDs alone, there are six separate venues, each with their own scope and instructions. These obviously aren't stages of one process, they're alternatives. The singular "process" might make sense if this page were just a step-by-step walkthrough of one procedure, or if the procedures were remotely similar. The plural reflects that in a clearer way.

(Discuss) – Mystery box show → Mystery boxMystery box – The article title should at the very least be changed to mystery-box show. Because "mystery box" is functioning as a compound modifier before the noun "show", meaning it is should include a hyphen. I quickly checked the usage and many articles do correctly hyphenate it, though I admit there are also many that do not. However, I'm inclined to favor mystery box because I find that much of the reliable-source coverage over time has used "mystery box" (often just like that, and often in quotation marks too), as in "a mystery box" or "mystery boxes", or even "the Mystery Box".

(Discuss) – Gender-critical feminism → Trans-exclusionary radical feminismTrans-exclusionary radical feminism – I have two reasons why this should be moved; one of them is objective and the other one is more personal. The objective reason is that this subject is much better known as "trans-exclusionary radical feminism", whereas the label "gender-critical feminism" is only used by some of its adherents and quite controversially so. As such, it should be moved according to WP:COMMONNAME. The personal (and mayhaps inflamatory) reason is that calling this article "gender-critical feminism" is like calling the article on nazism "Jewish-critical socialism". Which not only would greatly undersell the importance that attacking Jews had in nazi ideology; nazism was hardly socialist in praxis, and so is "gender-critical feminism" hardly an actual feminist movement. It is no more than a neo-reactionary attempt at stablishing a made-up barrier between two ideologies that have no real reason to be devided, considering that both feminism and transgender movements sought to challenge gender roles and as such there is no reason why feminism should antagonize transgender people as TERFs wish to do. But mayhaps this comment is already getting a little too personal, so I will stop myself here. DaniPine3 (talk) 23:09, 13 June 2026 (UTC) —Relisting.⹃Maltazarianᚾparley

Per WP:NCWWW, the default is to say when, where, and what, and I don't believe there is evidence to suggest that this shooting is so well-known that it does not require a year for identifying purposes. There is also no requirement for there to be multiple shootings at the same school for the year to be included in the title, as was apparently believed in the previous requested move.

(Discuss) – Putin's recognition of the Donbas republics →? – This article is very explicitly on the topic of Vladimir Putin's speech given to announce that Russia would recognize its puppet republics in Donbas, and not on the act of Russia's recognition itself. The latter would imply a degree of scope overlap with International recognition of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic, as only three countries recognized the republics, Russia, Syria and North Korea, with Russia evidently being the most relevant one, which provoked the other ones. The current title is very unorthodox for Wikipedia as well. I don't think any other Wikipedia article with Putin on its title uses only his surname (other than the other 2022 speech's article, currently). "Donbas republics" is also uncommon, we have two articles in Wikipedia employing the statelet's full names (the aforementioned article, and 2022 evacuation of the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic). A title featuring the statelets' full names would be very long but I don't see it as much of a problem when it is WP:CONSISTENT with other articles. This is however less of a pressing issue in my own view, it is a sort of nitpick. To summarize, I think we should: 1. feature Putin's full name, in a more formal and encyclopedic practice, 2. specify that the article is on the address itself and not on the act of recognition (otherwise, rewrite the article), 3. discuss how to refer to the puppet republics. I suggest Vladimir Putin's address on recognizing the Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic, Vladimir Putin's address on recognizing the Donetsk and Luhansk people's republics, Vladimir Putin's address on recognizing the Donbas republics. They're in my order of favorability, I think "Donbas republics" could have some WP:RECOGNIZABILITY problems for some readers, ideally the names of the recognized entities would be present in the article in my view. To be honest, I didn't see much issue with the former formal title "Address concerning the events in Ukraine", I would not be opposed to a return to it in case choosing a descriptive title proves difficult. I believe these proposals would be more encyclopedic and appropriate than the current title, but do feel free to suggest other ones. There is several wording constructions that are possible here, such as using "speech" instead of "address" in consistency with the currently titled Putin's invasion of Ukraine speech. I have just started a RM there, and I'd appreciate if editors could agree on outcomes for both articles that are consistent with each other.
