Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests[edit]

Iitoyo → Empress Iitoyo (Tsunuzashi) (move · discuss) – I added Empress as that's what she was, but she is also known as Tsunuzashi, it's like having Empress Suiko's page named "Suiko" sure its ok, but having Empress is better, and distinguishes her page from anyone or thing being called Iitoyo. I think this change is a good one, I'm trying to clean this page and the name was a good Idea in my opinion, also yes, I would move it myself, but this is my first time, I want to request it just for future reference. Camillz (talk) 20:53, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i forgot to ask, but again since it's my first time I'm not sure. Am I supposed to move the page and then put in this request? Camillz (talk) 20:56, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, you propose a move, and someone else carries it out. Google Scholar only gives me Brightwell 2020 and Brown and Ishida 1979 when I search for "Empress Iitoyo". "Iitoyo" "ruler" (to filter out papers by various scholars surnamed Iitoyo) gives around twelve results. At a skim, this includes just Iitoyo, Princess Iitoyo, and Iitoyo no Ao. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 22:41, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When you look up Iitoyo, some actor comes up more. For me anyways, Empress Iitoyo, or Empress Tsunuzashi was the most effective. Also thanks for the clarification on if I move it first or not. Camillz (talk) 22:58, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shinhanchon Incident → Sinhanch'on Incident (move · discuss) – Parent page Sinhanch'on recently passed a move discussion, so assuming this will follow. To my knowledge hardly any writing exists on this event at all in English, so I expect there is no common name for this event that would differ from its parent's. Heads up that I'm the creator of both pages and a Korean speaker. 104.232.119.107 (talk) 00:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! (song) → Sayonara, Mata Itsuka! (currently a redirect instead to Kenshi Yonezu discography) (move · discuss) – Unnecessary disambiguator. ayakanaa ( t ) 01:13, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
[[
Giant Center → GIANT Center (currently a redirect back to Giant Center) (move · discuss) – Listed as GIANT Center on the hershey website, as GIANT is the sponsor of the arena. 45BearsFan (talk) 02:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves[edit]

Contested technical requests[edit]

American open-wheel car racing → Indy car racing (currently a redirect back to American open-wheel car racing) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONTERM RegalZ8790 (talk) 18:57, 22 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Is it though? I'm not sure "indy car" really saw much use before the 1990s, retconning the entire history of American racing is at least worth a discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 05:02, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
if i can chime in, the page is an overview of Indy car racing only, which has been known by that name since the 1950s. If it was an full histort of American racing it would also discuss the other open-wheel disciplines such as sprint cars, midget cars, super modifieds and modifieds. Not to mention the non-open-wheel of NASCAR and Drag Racing. The article itself is clear that the common term is Indy car. thank you 2605:59C8:10F0:1410:396E:69B0:4005:79DF (talk) 13:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Wife ((G)I-dle song) → Wife (song) (currently a redirect instead to Wife (disambiguation)) (move · discuss) – No other articles about song titled "Wife" PepeBonus (talk) 09:04, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The song by Mitski appears to have enough coverage to make it notable and I don't think there's a PDAB primary topic. I've redirected the target to the main dab page for now. — Amakuru (talk) 11:00, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Unless and until Wife (Mitski song) gets its own article, this is unambiguous, per WP:SONGDAB. 162 etc. (talk) 19:27, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The question is whether it's notable or not, rather than whether there's an article... I see some sources giving the song coverage, therefore it might be notable. — Amakuru (talk) 22:03, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, according to WP:SONGDAB, "unless more than one article about songs of the same name exist, there is no need to disambiguate any further." This is a well-established naming convention. 162 etc. (talk) 22:09, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Per WP:PRIMARYRED if the non existent article is notable then we use the full qualifier. Crouch, Swale (talk) 17:28, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed. And the RFC which established the SONGDAB guideline was clear that it was for situations where the other songs of that name are not themselves notable. — Amakuru (talk) 17:35, 26 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Belgica metro station → Belgica (Brussels Metro) (move · discuss) – Bélgica (Madrid Metro) is formatted in this manner 65.92.244.237 (talk) 10:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
All entries at Category:Brussels metro stations are of the form X metro station, and this matches the standard for rail transport stations across the whole project so certainly the proposed move should not go ahead as specified. Arguably it's the Madrid metro stations which do not follow that format and should probably be renamed... On the specific question of whether further disambiguation is needed between the Brussel and the Madrid Belgicas, it seems like the diacritic (Belgica vs Bélgica) is sufficient here per WP:SMALLDETAILS so I'd recommend leaving the Brussels one exactly as it is. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 11:13, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Bélgica itself (with the diacritic) redirects to Belgium, and Brussels is in Belgium... -- 65.92.244.237 (talk) 11:42, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The current title meets WP:NATURAL. Maybe it's Bélgica (Madrid Metro) that needs moving? Either way, yes, this is not uncontroversial. Steel1943 (talk) 14:20, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Attempted assassination of Robert Fico → Shooting of Robert Fico (currently a redirect back to Attempted assassination of Robert Fico) (move · discuss) – Moving the article to the current title was jumping to ungrounded conclusions, and as such shouldn't happen here. The requested title was the original article's title. Now it is a redirect page with more edits in the history, so I cannot move it back. The content of the article state that the attack was not meant to kill him. IHaveBecauseOfLocks (talk) 14:29, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IHaveBecauseOfLocks, given that this was a subject of discussion on the talk page and elsewhere, an unilateral move may be contentious. Please open a RM discussion. – robertsky (talk) 16:01, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

David TC Davies → David T. C. Davies (currently a redirect back to David TC Davies) (move · discuss) – Per MOS:INITIALS. While the subject may prefer it styled this way, the reliable sources do not follow suit, which is the key point in the policy grounds for an exception style SchroCat (talk) 18:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC) - SchroCat (talk) 18:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@SchroCat: The article was moved from David T. C. Davies to its current title less than a year ago, so this would require further discussion. --Ahecht (TALK
