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
- RC Donau → Rugby Union Donau Wien (move · discuss) – Name of club changed, as evident by the page itself Kaihacker (talk) 10:35, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Kaihacker, do you have any sources for this name change? They need to be reliable sources that are independent of the subject (so the main page isn't sufficient), that article has no sources as of now and could use them anyways. You can read WP:NAMECHANGES for info on what to look for. ASUKITE 15:44, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Sinomeganeura (currently a redirect to Oligotypus) → Oligotypus (move · discuss) – Synonymized according to Li et al. (2013).[1] Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Cryptomartus hindi (currently a redirect to Anthracomartus) → Anthracomartus (move · discuss) – Synonymized according to Garwood and Dunlop (2011).[2] Probably enough to be genus article. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- National Security Commission of the Chinese Communist Party → National Security Commission (currently a redirect back to National Security Commission of the Chinese Communist Party) (move · discuss) – Make shorter (WP:CONCISE, WP:PRECISE) Cfls (talk) 03:56, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Just for posterity, we have National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence but I doubt that would be confused with this as it's specific to a subtopic. This was moved several times over the years which may necessitate a discussion, but it does seem that the trend is for the name to get shorter, so that may be okay. ASUKITE 15:58, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- You Should Be Here (Cole Swindell album) (currently a redirect to You Should Be Here (album)) → You Should Be Here (album) (move · discuss) – Target currently redirects to a dab page, which lists another record, but that one is at "(mixtape)", so having this one at "(album)" makes more sense to me. Distinguish by artist or by type, not by both, yes? 89.183.221.75 (talk) 14:48, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Screams without Words (currently a redirect to Screams Without Words) → Screams Without Words (move · discuss) – MOS:TITLECAPS--MOS:5 ("without" is a word that is capitalized in our title case title format, because, despite being a preposition, it is a non-short preposition; the same is true for NYT's title casing) —Alalch E. 15:11, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Hankook Tire (currently a redirect to Hankook) → Hankook (move · discuss) – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC per consensus reached here. B4081 (talk) 01:53, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- The consensus was to keep the primary redirect, not to move the article. 162 etc. (talk) 05:41, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- Guy_de_Téramond (currently a redirect to Guy de Téramond Peralta) → Guy de Téramond Peralta (move · discuss) – to avoid confusion of this biographical page with identical name of French writer in the French Wikipedia https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Téramond 81.111.130.118 (talk) 12:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Unless and until the French writer has an article on the English Wikipedia, this article title is unambiguous. Adding "Peralta" simply for the sake of disambiguation also violates WP:COMMONNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Influencer (currently a redirect to Influencer) → Influencer (move · discuss) – Correcting the conflation of Internet celebrity and Influencer. Currently influencer redirects to the other term. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Has this gone through WP:AFC? 162 etc. (talk) 22:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- This should go through AFC in my opinion. I have my doubts of whether it would survive a deletion discussion. EggRoll97 (talk) 23:14, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have never gone through AFC unless a WP:COI. On what grounds would this be deleted. It should be clear that an influencer is different than an Internet celebrity, which is the point. Some internet celebrities are not influencers and some influencers are not internet celebrities. Thus, we need a new article. This is stub/start territory, but not AFD territory.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @TonyTheTiger The place to discuss this would be the talk page for Internet celebrity. I see you tried and got no response, but you didn't use WP:PROPSPLIT, which would help. You could also let various related wikiprojects know about the discussion. -- asilvering (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- TonyTheTiger is well past the autoconfirmed threshhold and unlikely to have a CoI here. I fail to see why this would need to go through AfC, as AfC encourages established editors to create articles on their own. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)- Three editors have already expressed WP:N concerns, so this should definitely be discussed somewhere, and WP:RMT is not the best place for that. I see OP has opened a thread at Talk:Internet celebrity#Splitting article, but no discussion ensued. 162 etc. (talk) 16:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Understood, but AFC isn't the best place for that either. --Ahecht (TALK

- Main issue I see here is that content from Internet celebrity would need to be moved to the new article as well, rather than just a new page. As asilvering put it, proposing through PROPSPLIT would make most sense here, as I don't doubt there is enough content that already exists on IC to move to Inlufencer. Best of luck with it.

- Nicholas Nelson (Jamaican footballer) (currently a redirect to Nicholas Nelson (footballer)) → Nicholas Nelson (currently a redirect instead to Nick Nelson) (move · discuss) – Current page for "Nicholas Nelson" is a redirect to a character from the movie and graphic novel Heartstopper. While the character is more popular than the soccer player, it makes sense for the person with the name "Nicholas Nelson" to have the base, non-disambiguated page name with a hat note to the character. Happy to discuss further. Debartolo2917 (talk) 04:40, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- It would make more sense IMO for "Nicholas Nelson" to go to the dab page Nick Nelson listing two other people who could be called Nicholas Nelson. * Pppery * it has begun... 05:05, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'll note that all incoming links to Nicholas Nelson appear to be soccer-related. 162 etc. (talk) 05:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)

- SkyDrive (eVTOL) (currently a redirect to SkyDrive (company)) → SkyDrive (move · discuss) – There is only one article titled SkyDrive, so the disambiguator is unnecessary. SkyDrive is currently a dab page, but the only other page it points to is OneDrive, which was formerly named SkyDrive. Once moved, there should be a hatnote at the top of SkyDrive directing readers to OneDrive. voorts (talk/contributions) 22:41, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- With SkyDrive being the former name of OneDrive until 10 years ago, discussion is needed for usurping the SkyDrive title. GTrang (talk) 04:58, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- SkyDrive (company)? That's the best I can think of. Mseingth2133444 (talk/contribs) 00:23, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

- Travel requirements for Polish citizens (currently a redirect to Visa requirements for Polish citizens) → Visa requirements for Polish citizens (move · discuss) – To make the title of the article consistent with all other "Visa requirements for ... citizens", see that discussion for context. Thearones (talk) 19:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- This was posted here and contested just last week. User:Thearones, this isn't uncontroversial and you know it. 162 etc. (talk) 20:05, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hmmm, it seems I hadn't seen Amakuru's reply. You're right. It was contested. Thearones (talk) 21:17, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

- Cupra (marque) → Cupra (move · discuss) – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Andra Febrian (talk) 12:34, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
- A primary topic grab, especially when your proposed topic isn't even listed on the disambiguation page, is potentially controversial. Please discuss on the talk page of Cupra and notify the talk pages of Cupra (marque) and other contenders such as Talk:Cupra (goddess). --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:27, 7 March 2024 (UTC)- Forgot to ping @Andra Febrian. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:01, 7 March 2024 (UTC)- The DAB page conveniently avoided to mention the marque despite listing its products. I'll add it later. Andra Febrian (talk) 06:52, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Forgot to ping @Andra Febrian. --Ahecht (TALK
- I have added a link to Cupra (marque) at the disambiguation page. Regardless, I agree that primary topic changes are often controversial and need to be discussed. GTrang (talk) 16:12, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- OGUsers → FLIPD (move · discuss) – OGUsers was renamed to FLIPD in mid-2022 and thus it's page is outdated and should be moved. My account is too new to move this page, hence the post here. Emilyisoffline (talk) 01:36, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
- There's no mention of FLIPD in the article's prose or sourcing... and as far as I can see, [3] is still a webpage for OGUsers. Unless that's a diffferent thing? I think a much stronger case is needed her, with evidence of why the WP:NAMECHANGES stipulations are met. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 14:28, 6 March 2024 (UTC)
