Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- Kiraa TV (company) is invalid. Must create Kiraa TV (company) before requesting that it be moved to Kiraa TV.– no disambiguation needed 2A00:23EE:11E0:97D9:B40A:4AFF:FEE4:8D53 (talk) 08:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Eliminating illiteracy in China (currently a redirect to Literacy in China) → Literacy in China (move · discuss) – even shorter, better title similar to literacy in India and others Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:04, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- George Daniel (musician) (currently a redirect to George Daniel) → George Daniel (move · discuss) – Ambiguation page consists of one dead person, one known with a middle initial, and all of them get less than 10 views and are sparsely linked to other pages Maxen Embry (talk) 05:21, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Vaccine-preventable diseases (currently a redirect to Vaccine-preventable disease) → Vaccine-preventable disease (move · discuss) – WP:PLURAL states that the title should not be in plural form in this case. aaronneallucas (talk) 05:13, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- History of Sino-Russian relations → History of Sino–Russian relations (currently a redirect back to History of Sino-Russian relations) (move · discuss) – Use an en dash between the names of nations or nationalities when referring to an association between them (MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES). Hey man im josh (talk) 19:38, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Hey man im josh: Do you have any comments on this original rationale? (I'm not smart enough in this area to know.) -2pou (talk) 22:05, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- @2pou I think he's right here for sure in his request, the original rationale is wrong, as "Sino" should not be a modifier of "Russia", as we are not talking about groups of Chinese Russians; the thing that's tripping me up is that it makes more sense to move the title to "history of China–Russia relations". aaronneallucas (talk) 05:22, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Sino- is the same as the Franco- example in MOS:DUALNATIONALITIES ("Wrong: Franco–British rivalry; Franco- is a combining form, not an independent word, so use a hyphen: Franco-British rivalry"). @User:Aplucas0703 (aaronneallucas): I just want to mention that there was a related but different case at Talk:Sino-Soviet relations last year, which suggests that other wording might run into controversy as well.

- North Yorkshire County Council (currently a redirect to North Yorkshire Council) → North Yorkshire Council (move · discuss) – Essentially the same as above. The two articles can be combined into one, but I don't have the permissions needed to sort out their names. I don't know if a HISTMERGE is needed, sorry. A.D.Hope (talk) 00:35, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Jamsrangiin Tseveen (currently a redirect to Tsyben Zhamtsarano) → Tsyben Zhamtsarano (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME in scholarly sources. — Goszei (talk) 02:21, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- Four room house (currently a redirect to Four-room house) → Four-room house (move · discuss) – Per MOS:HYPHEN, hyphens are used for compound modifiers—in this case, "four-room." Jprg1966 (talk) 01:30, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Frankie Jonas → Franklin Jonas (currently a redirect back to Frankie Jonas) (move · discuss) – The subject of the article recently launched a music career under the latter name (their birth name). "Frankie Jonas" can be kept as a redirect. SaltieChips (talk) 2:05, 22 June 2023 (UTC)
- Tropical Storm Epsilon (currently a redirect to List of storms named Epsilon) → List of storms named Epsilon (move · discuss) – Discussed at WT:WPWX that all set indexes should be moved. 📖 (💬/📜) 07:41, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Contested technical requests
- Child sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers (currently a redirect to Sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers) → Sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers (move · discuss) – The sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers also includes cases of rapes on adults. Geysirhead (talk) 07:14, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- @Geysirhead: The article centers on the child sexual abuses. If you would like to have the subject moved, shouldn't a rewrite or expansion of the article comes first? – robertsky (talk) 10:48, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- +1 to @Robertsky ─ The Aafī (talk) 07:48, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- Ok, you mean to change the article first and then move, not the other way around Geysirhead (talk) 19:47, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
- yes – robertsky (talk) 17:29, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
- Slightly confused by this... If a change of scope is warranted, shouldn't the name change take place first? Otherwise you're writing stuff into the article that isn't supported by the title. Since we don't have an article covering sexual abuse by UN peacekeepers in general, and the current page is hardly overlong, I'd imagine this generalisation is fine to carry out now. — Amakuru (talk) 05:54, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- I would think that move will be done the moment the additional content is written in. It seems that there is nothing is stopping @Geysirhead from moving the article by themselves technically? – robertsky (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Geysirhead Is anything stopping you from doing the move yourself? This isn't really the place to discuss content, that's better suited on the article's talk page. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:02, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

- Draft:Sovereign, Tsar and Grand Prince of all Russia (currently a redirect to Tsar of all Russia) → Tsar of Russia (currently a redirect instead to Tsar of all Russia) (move · discuss) – Moving draft to mainspace. Target is currently a redirect to the section Tsar#Russia. Mellk (talk) 05:58, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Contesting - the draft article in question covers the period up to 1721, but Tsars existed through to 1917,at least in common usage. I'd suggest either expand to cover all Tsars of Russia, or move it to article space under its current more specific title. — Amakuru (talk) 06:09, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- The official title from 1721 to 1917 was Emperor of Russia so the list for emperors (also referred to as tsars) during this period is in that article. Mellk (talk) 06:30, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- OK, but that doesn't automatically make the draft for the Sovereign, Tsar and Grand Prince of all Russia title, limited to the period up to 1721, a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the whole term Tsar of Russia. The current redirect seems the best fit right now, assuming the draft article isn't expanded to include all Tsars. — Amakuru (talk) 10:34, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- OK, understandable. What if the draft article incorporates more details about the usage of the title "tsar" after 1721 specifically (a section on this)? Yes, "tsar" is also used to refer to the emperor but I would want to avoid duplication with Emperor of Russia. Mellk (talk) 11:05, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

- Rutul people → Rutulians (currently a redirect instead to Rutuli) (move) – The name (Rutulians) is correct name for this people. Rutul is one of the villages where these people live. Digitalberry (talk) 14:32, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Noting Talk:Rutul people#Rename. -Kj cheetham (talk) 15:21, 20 June 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose Rutulians gives me mixed results about the Rutuls and the ancient Rutuli in Google Scholar [1]. The page should become a disambiguation page. Consider "Rutuls" instead. This name has 281 GS results and is three times more common than "Rutulians" (91 results, I included word "Caucasus" in the search) and far more common than "Rutul people" with 8 results.

- Digitalberry, please open a full WP:RM discussion by clicking on the "discuss" link, as this can't be processed as a technical request. Thanks. -Kj cheetham (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

- Valley of the Fallen → Valley of Cuelgamuros (currently a redirect back to Valley of the Fallen) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, the official name has changed. — DaddyCell (talk) 18:07, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
- This is probably not uncontroversial, especially given there's been a previous RM. -Kj cheetham (talk) 18:19, 21 June 2023 (UTC)
