  • (Discuss)Southport Australian Football ClubSouthport SharksSouthport Sharks – While the current name is the club's official name, both the club and secondary sources (here) very commonly refer to it as the "Southport Sharks" in full and thus this move would fit WP:COMMONNAME. The club's football and business departments both use the "Southport Sharks" name in full regularly (1, 2, 3) and even their monogram is "SS" instead of "SAFC" (here). The AFL's list of VFL/VFLW teams also uses the "Southport Sharks" name (here) and mostly only uses name+nickname for other teams that have their Wikipedia page named in that style (Box Hill Hawks and Casey Demons are VFL examples of this; this move would match those pages); Austadiums is very similar with this (here). Although I generally support club pages being "[NAME] Football Club/Australian Football Club", this seems to be far more similar to the Gold Coast Suns or the Greater Western Sydney Giants as it relates to what the common name is.

  • (Discuss)2016 Nice truck attack2016 Bastille Day truck attack – I propose moving this article to “2016 Bastille Day truck attack” because many readers have misunderstood the current title and thought the word “Nice” was being used as the English adjective rather than referring to the French city. The proposed title would reduce the confusion by making the context clearer while still accurately describing the event and preserving key details such as the year, the nature of the attack, and its association with Bastille Day.

  • (Discuss)WavesWaves (disambiguation)Waves (disambiguation) – Per WP:PTOPIC, that's because the article on 'wave', a propagating dynamic disturbance (change from equilibrium) of one or more quantities, is overwhelmingly considered to be the primary topic with the word 'wave' in its title over other works and terms combined, as a plural term, including the human hand gesture 'waving', as a third-person singular simple present indicative term, and per WP:RPRIMARY and WP:PLURAL, because base names aren't normally used for disambiguation pages with one primary topic.

  • (Discuss)Template:ReflistTM:Reference listTM:Reference list – This template is a holdout to the general trend towards expanding template names for clarity per Wikipedia:Template namespace § Template names:

    Template names should be made of one or more words, and describe the template clearly, as in {{Math topics sidebar}}. Template names are easiest to remember if they follow standard English spelling, spacing, and capitalization. Avoid having templates whose names differ only in case, spacing, or punctuation.

    Of course, the old title will still remain a redirect so people can keep using it as a shortcut. FaviFake (talk) 11:11, 20 June 2026 (UTC)  Relisting. 1isall (talk | contribs) 18:26, 27 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Iorrie IsaacsIorwerth IsaacIorwerth Isaac – This person's name is spelled many different ways across various sources, but I have proposed moving this page to what I believe is the most accurate one, and is how his name appears in his obituary. The British Newspaper Archive and Newspapers.com show more results for the person in question when searching for "Iorwerth" instead of "Iorrie", and "Isaacs" appears to be a misspelling taken from database sources.

  • (Discuss)List of brand name soft drink productsList of soft drink products by brand name – proposed title makes it clear that this article lists types of soft drinks, grouped by the brands that sell them. 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" CapriceBig 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 OchoaAaron 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)Super LeafRaccoon 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 () 17:01, 19 June 2026 (UTC)  Relisting. Maltazarian parley ∨ {\displaystyle \lor } {\displaystyle \lor }investigate 22:07, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)21 TauriAsterope (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.

  • (Discuss)WHL0137-LSEarendel (star)Earendel (star) – Since the 2022 move request, the name "Earendel" has continued to be used and is clearly the WP:COMMONNAME in research papers (see e.g. ADS query). 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. Should a different disambiguator be used, or should the page remain at its current (less commonly used) title?

  • (Discuss)AutismAutism Spectrum DisorderAutism Spectrum Disorder – According to WP:COMMONNAME, “Wikipedia generally prefers the name that is most commonly used (as determined by its prevalence in a significant majority of independent, reliable, English-language sources)”. Majority of the reliable sources, especially medical ones, refer to this as Autism Spectrum Disorder. TyphoonHurricaneCyclone 16:04, 26 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)SodaSoda (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)JindabyneJindabyne, 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 offensiveDnipropetrovsk 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, Super Ψ Dro 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). I think based on the scale in terms of revenue and public-facing entities that Woolworths Group in Australia meets WP:PRIMARYTOPIC Icaldonta (talk) 18:56, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Colt International ? – I work on Marketing for Colt. The company is officially rebranding from "Colt Group" to "Colt International" alongside an upcoming global website migration. The parent operating entity and its regional subsidiaries (such as Colt International Ltd in the UK) are unifying under the "Colt International". Changing the title reflects the current, accurate corporate branding in line with Wikipedia's naming conventions for organisations. Colt International Ltd (talk) 14:43, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Stanhope GardensStanhope Gardens, New South WalesStanhope Gardens, New South Wales – This page was recently moved from the target on the grounds that it was WP:PRIMARYTOPIC with no prior discussion. However, the claim of primary topic is disputed - there is a page titled Stanhope Gardens, Kensington, a park in the United Kingdom. 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. If there is no clear primary topic, then the naming convention of place, state is required per WP:NCAUST. Dfadden (talk) 11:35, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Nitro ProNitro Software – The article covers Nitro Software, Inc. broadly, including its company history, products, and corporate information. The current title reflects an older product name. The company's flagship PDF product has been renamed Nitro PDF Pro, and the legal trading name is Nitro Software, Inc. The article title should reflect the actual scope of the article rather than a discontinued product name. No content changes are proposed in this request. Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:ARTICLENAME, article titles should reflect the subject actually covered. Nominator discloses a conflict of interest per WP:COI. CPG2026 (talk) 09:34, 25 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)2025 Sumy offensiveSumy offensive (2025–present) – Russian invaders are still in the oblast, so the offensive is still ongoing. Per the RM started here and the title at Northeast Donetsk Oblast campaign, I also invite users to discuss including "Oblast" into the title ("Sumy Oblast offensive (2025–present)", as the offensive hasn't taken place in the city of Sumy nor has it had the aim to capture it) and the use of "campaign" over "offensive". I'd personally favor including "Oblast" while I have no opinion on the second issue (I honestly kind of don't know when should each word be used).

  • (Discuss)AceraceaeAcereae – Aceraceae has not been rejected as a clade; only its status as a family has been denied, and the same circumscription remains as the tribe Acereae. Rather than simply treating this article as pertaining to a taxon from the past, it is considered preferable to change the name to that of a currently valid taxon. コロネン (talk) 22:32, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Internal Revenue Code section 1Internal 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, 2025Tornado 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. Let’s just have a nice clean RM that follows suit to what RSs and official data say. MarioProtIV (talk/contribs) 18:52, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)The Deep (character)The Deep (The Boys) – I think it makes sense to have the DB be the franchise where this character comes from instead of (character). The current DB was probably done to match what most DBs are for pages on comic book characters, but characters from The Boys were written specifically for The Boys and not for the publisher to use in other works (a counter-example of this would be Kingpin (character) from Marvel Comics). ThePoggingEditor (talk) 17:11, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Soldier BoySoldier Boy (The Boys) – Per WP:RECENTISM, I do not think Soldier Boy from The Boys should be WP:PRIMARY as the idea of a "Soldier Boy" dates back long before The Boys was ever created, and is probably how the character got his name in the first place. Soldier Boy from The Boys might currently be what most people think of when they hear "Soldier Boy", but this may not be the case in the future (again going back to how "Soldier Boy" is a historical term/phrase/idea/something).

  • (Discuss)Model FarmsModel 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)GrillzGrillz (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}}. — Newslinger talk 22:00, 23 June 2026 (UTC); fixed link, edited to add redirect target option, and struck unreliable source 07:37, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Spinoff (media)Spin-off (media)Spin-off (media) – The page was unilaterally moved by User:2pou in 2024 without discussion, claiming that the word is used more often without the hyphen in a media context. 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 () 06:18, 24 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Operation Kikusui IOperation 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).

  • (Discuss)MitochondrionMitochondriaMitochondria – According to WP:Singular, irregular plurals should be used as the article title when they vastly outpace the usage of the singular form, and this is one of those cases. Google Ngram and Google Trends show how much the plural outpaces the singular form in usage, to the point that the singular form is almost negligible in the statistics. This is more or less on par with bacteria/bacterium, so I don't think it makes much sense to keep it at its singular form when it's basically mirroring the example given in the policy for when its appropriate to use a plural title.

  • (Discuss)New Catch RepublicLos AmericanosLos Americanos – I think Los Americanos could be described as a continuation of the New Catch Republic and it appears to be a more commonly used name at this point. 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.

  • (Discuss)Little Caesars Pizza BowlMotor 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.

On his own article, every source capitalizes his name as "JPEGMAFIA" except three-ish that say "Jpegmafia". This "JPEGMafia" capitalization appears to have been made up by someone who decided that his name should be capitalized the way they wish it could be capitalized. theMainLogan (tc) 07:36, 6 June 2026 (UTC) This is a contested technical request (permalink). 1isall (talk | contribs) 03:47, 7 June 2026 (UTC)  Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 03:39, 14 June 2026 (UTC)  Relisting. Jeffrey34555 (talk) 14:26, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Karimganj districtSribhumi districtSribhumi district – Since the previous move discussion in November 2024, substantial evidence has emerged showing widespread use of "Sribhumi district" in reliable sources and official government publications. 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. Per WP:NAMECHANGES and WP:COMMONNAME, a fresh review of the title may be appropriate. Rajen09 (talk) 12:20, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (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. Therefore, I think the best terms to call people in these 2 articles should either be "Lanna people" and "Lanna language" or "Tai Yuan people" and "Tai Yuan language". Personally I'm leaning toward "Lanna" Tree2563 (talk) 08:41, 22 June 2026 (UTC)
  • (Discuss)Wikipedia:Not editing because of Wikipedia restriction ? – When I came across the current title, I initially assumed that the essay would be about users being prohibited from editing in certain areas due to topic bans or being unable to edit at all due to blocks, but the essay is actually only about how all users should refrain from adding information about certain topics. If you agree that the current title gives the wrong impression about this essay and are able to come up with an idea for a better title, please suggest it below. – MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 15:38, 13 June 2026 (UTC)  Relisting.  MrPersonHumanGuy (talk) 01:13, 22 June 2026 (UTC)

{{#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 processWikipedia: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 showMystery 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 feminismTrans-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.

  • (Discuss)Joscelin IIIJoscelin III, Count of EdessaJoscelin III, Count of Edessa – Joscelin was and is, generally known, as Joscelin III, Count of Edessa. He was referred to as count by contemporaries: in a charter from 1176, he is Comes Joscelinus, and in another one from 1179, he is Comes Ioscelinus senescalcus (963 & 1034, The Crusades Regesta) Secondary scholarship refers to him as such, based on indexes: Joscelyn III, Count of Edessa (Joscelyn III and the Fall of the Crusader States)[8] Joscelin III, titular count of Edessa, seneschal of Jerusalem (The Crusader States)[9] Joscelin III of Courtenay, count of Edessa (The Counts of Tripoli and Lebanon in the Twelfth Century)[10] Joscelin III de Courtenay, titular count of Edessa (Sybil, Queen of Jerusalem)[11] Joscelin III of Courtenay (his father and grandfather being named Joscelin II and I of Courtenay; The Routledge Companion to the Crusades)[12] Joscelin III de Courtenay of Edessa (Feudal Monarchy in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, 1100 to 1291) [13] Joscelin III of Courtenay, titular count of Edessa (The Crusades)[14] Joscelin of Courtenay, C Edessa (his father and grandfather are absent; The Feudal Nobility and the Kingdom of Jerusalem, 1174–1277)[15] His status as count of Edessa is usually recognized and explicit. In only one of these examples is his countship not explicit, and there it is not unique to him in his family.
