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:..."
If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- DYXL-FM → DYXL (move · discuss) – Disruptive edit from Jimmygwapo95. As of 2022, there is only one station that carries the call letters based on recent NTC listing. ASTIG😎🙃 07:27, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Svyatoslav Vakarchuk (currently a redirect to Sviatoslav Vakarchuk) → Sviatoslav Vakarchuk (move · discuss) – official Ukrainian transliteration Saksapoiss (talk) 07:24, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Trinity: Souls of Zill Ơll (currently a redirect to Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll) → Trinity: Souls of Zill O'll (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move to nonstandard formatting ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:09, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Zill Ơll Infinite (currently a redirect to Zill O'll) → Zill O'll Infinite (currently a redirect instead to Zill O'll) (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move to nonstandard formatting ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:09, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Zill Ơll (currently a redirect to Zill O'll) → Zill O'll (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move to nonstandard formatting ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 07:09, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Bakasuran → Bakasuran (2023 film) (move · discuss) – To avoid confusion with Bakasura and with another film Buckasura. 122.178.74.157 (talk) 17:56, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- 122.178.74.157, what happens with Bakasuran if this page is moved to the disambiguated title? If you want Bakasuran to be moved to disambiguated title, why not the other two as well? In my opinion, a good hatnote works very well in clarifying this confusion. ─ The Aafī (talk) 18:16, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- I agree. This move creates unnecessary disambiguation, where a hatnote would do just fine.
- @TheAafi, pings don't work with IP editors, so I've added a TB to their talk page. Silikonz💬 18:20, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Silikonz, thanks for that. I wasn't sure about the ping stuff. ;) new addition to my knowledge. I just logged off from my system and I'm moving this discussion to contested ones ─ The Aafī on Mobile (talk) 18:23, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- This is a recent low-budget local movie made only in Tamil language. 122.178.74.157 (talk) 18:27, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- The question remains: If the 2023 film isn't the primary topic, what should Bakasuran be? A disambiguation page? A primary redirect? 162 etc. (talk) 18:57, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please redirect. Only this movie is named as "Bakasuran". Other movies like Master (2021 film), Beast (2022 Indian film) also named in this way. 122.178.74.157 (talk) 01:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- This is because there is no primary topic for Master and Beast and Bakasuran appears to be the primary topic here. ─ The Aafī (talk) 07:33, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- Please redirect. Only this movie is named as "Bakasuran". Other movies like Master (2021 film), Beast (2022 Indian film) also named in this way. 122.178.74.157 (talk) 01:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)

- Chatswood railway station → Chatswood station (currently a redirect back to Chatswood railway station) (move · discuss) – Precedent suggests that stations served by both metro and mainline trains, use simply "station" in the title, see West Brompton station --- Tbf69 P • T 18:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- I don't disagree with the sentiment here, but is this in line with Australian station naming convention? West Brompton station is in England. I note that a number of station articles have been recently moved by OP with no discussion. 162 etc. (talk) 19:02, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Senator Ellis (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Senator Ellis) → Senator Ellis (move · discuss) – Powhatan Ellis is the only US senator, but there are lots of state senators. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:40, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Clarityfiend: It looks like Powhatan is the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, though, so this would be a WP:PCM. - UtherSRG (talk) 19:37, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
- Kakegurui – Compulsive Gambler (currently a redirect to Kakegurui) → Kakegurui (move · discuss) – Per WP:CONCISE. Xexerss (talk) 01:14, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Xexerss: This appears to be the actual title of the manga, so WP:CONCISE doesn't seem to apply. - UtherSRG (talk) 02:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- @UtherSRG: Could WP:COMMONNAME apply? "Compulsive Gambler" seems rather a subtitle, like "Nobody wins, but I!" in One Outs; "Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story" in Rurouni Kenshin, or "Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy" in Bastard!!. Xexerss (talk) 02:39, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Xexerss: I think you should create a requested move at the article's talk page, and when consensus is reached, that's only when you could make a technical request here. Harushiga (talk) 06:25, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
- @Xexerss: This appears to be the actual title of the manga, so WP:CONCISE doesn't seem to apply. - UtherSRG (talk) 02:07, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
Administrator needed
- Kanika Mann (actress) (currently a redirect to Kanika Mann) → Kanika Mann (move · discuss) – Disambiguation not necessary. Article is published via WP:AFC — DaxServer (t · m · c) 09:15, 22 February 2023 (UTC)
