- Objecting as programming on streaming platforms is considered television for disambiguator purposes. See the titles of The Crown (TV series), The Family Man (Indian TV series), and many others. The proposed titles do not conform to topic standards. The inclusion of OTT in the title is sufficient to distinguish from the non-OTT versions. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 07:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Sammi Brie, Fair enough. Then the below listed articles don't follow the naming conventions and recently implemented RfC on TV season article titles. Let me know your thoughts on the same.
- Bigg Boss OTT Kannada season 1 → Bigg Boss OTT (Kannada TV series) season 1
- Bigg Boss Ultimate season 1 → Bigg Boss Ultimate (Tamil TV series) season 1
- Bigg Boss Non-Stop season 1 → Bigg Boss Non-Stop (Telugu TV series) season 1

- 2024 northeastern Ukraine offensive (currently a redirect to 2024 Kharkiv offensive) → 2024 Kharkiv offensive (move · discuss) – Reverting undiscussed move. The page was moved without any discussion [1] because at the time it seemed the offensive had extended beyond Kharkiv Oblast. That has turned out to be an unconfirmed less-than-one-day-long (is that how hyphens are used in English?) adventure. Super Ψ Dro 11:02, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

- Darracq and Company London → STD Motors (currently a redirect back to Darracq and Company London) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME, was the company's name for nearly half of its life, including its last 15 years. Mpw008 (talk) 01:49, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- The page was at Darracq until an undiscussed move in 2016,and I think reverting to that might be a good idea as a simple concise name. Probably worth an RM anyway. — Amakuru (talk) 06:55, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Muhammad Maharvi (currently a redirect to Noor Muhammad Maharvi) → Khawaja Noor Muhammad Maharvi (currently a redirect instead to Noor Muhammad Maharvi) (move · discuss) – That is the correct name for that person Alragon1 (talk) 07:40, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Alragon1, I do not see any instances of titles prefixed "Khawaja", and not all titles have to be the accurate name of people. ToadetteEdit! 11:01, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Hi, I think its necessary for a person to have a correct name to stop it from being controversial, The prefix Khawaja is used in many instances even though Maharvi is not even a name its a suffix.
- The Correct Name would be Khawaja (prefix) + Noor Muhmmad (name) + Maharvi (suffix) and moreover its a very common name in this region so there should be no problem for anyone to change it. Alragon1 (talk) 05:45, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- We only need to disambiguate names if there are other notable people that have the name. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 18:37, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- It is just an honrific prefix and I'd just decline it but I guess Noor Muhammad Maharvi is more close to their common name than just Muhammad Maharvi. ─ Aafī (talk) 05:44, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

- Blackpool North railway station → Blackpool North station (currently a redirect back to Blackpool North railway station) (move · discuss) – Connected tram stop has opened and changing the suffix to station is common practice for UK rail pages. Unsure of why Wikipedia is refusing to let me move it. Bobster1001 (talk) 15:14, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at other similar articles "railway station" seems to be more common. Bensci54 (talk) 16:09, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- But that is only because almost all UK railway stations only serve National Rail mainline services. Meanwhile, the railway station of Blackpool North connects to the tram network, so that is why 'railway' is removed. See Manchester Victoria station and East Croydon station. See WP:UKSTATION. JuniperChill (talk) 19:13, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
- It depends whether we treat the tram stop and train station as one facility or two. Currently the list of tram stops implies that they're separate ("connected by an underpass"), the railway station states in the Facilities section that it's half a mile from the tramway (which it was pre-extension) and in the "Tram interchange" states it has "a new terminal opposite the station" which also implies the two are separate. If the two are separate then the current title is correct. Thryduulf (talk) 07:57, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- There is a bit of a ramble at talk:Haymarket railway station about the same thing. I could argue that East Croydon station and Stratford International station should be renamed but I still prefer the current title. I never plan to start an RM there but I am not stopping people from doing so JuniperChill (talk) 08:55, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
- I agree that Stratford International is two separate stations that happen to be near each other and share a name (like the two Hammersmith tube stations). I'm not familiar enough with Haymarket to have a pre-formed opinion. Thryduulf (talk) 09:25, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

- Liège (Chamber of Representatives constituency) → Liège (former Chamber of Representatives constituency) (move · discuss) – Split article into two - one that existed until 2003 and covered the Arrondissement of Liège and another that has existed since 2003 and covers Liège Province Obi2canibe (talk) 22:18, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
- Note that this is not the correct place to propose a split. See WP:PROSPLIT for the proper procedure. Also, I'm not sure why this requires a move? Can't you just move the historical content over to the "former" article, creating that article off of the redirect? Bensci54 (talk) 16:42, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- The bulk of the content relates to the former constituency. I wanted to preserve the edit history rather than cut and paste as you've suggested.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:56, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
- Do the two have significantly different borders? If not, I think it's standard practice to leave them as one page. — Amakuru (talk) 07:21, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, the two constituencies are significantly different. This map shows the arrondissement (old constituency) within the province (new constituency). The area of the constituency increased from 797 km2 to 3,857 km2. The electorate increased from 400,000 to 725,000.--Obi2canibe (talk) 18:22, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
- Chandrakanta (2017 TV series) → Chandrakanta – Ek Mayavi Prem Gaatha (move · discuss) – Moving page per WP:HYPHEN 2409:40E0:3C:F575:8C4C:DFFF:FE47:A417 (talk) 06:16, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- ip, I do not think it is uncontroversial because the generic term "Chandrakanta" is used in reliable sources more than the full name. Could you elaborate more on the reasoning of this move? ToadetteEdit! 11:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Blanco (British rapper) → Blanco (rapper) (currently a redirect instead to Blanco) (move · discuss) – no other rappers named Blanco have a Wikipedia article. Can be shortened RoaSted (🗣️🗣️🗣️ 19:05, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- May require discussion, as Blanco (singer)'s article refers to him as a "singer, rapper and songwriter". 162 etc. (talk) 22:44, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Yeah, the Italian is a rapper. @Roastedbeanz1: This request is contested. SilverLocust 💬 01:30, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- But his disambiguator (singer). Nor is "(Italian rapper)" a current redirect to his page. Roasted (talk) 01:33, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- The main consideration is, as you correctly identified, whether there are any "
other rappers named Blanco [that] have a Wikipedia article
" (such that this is WP:INCDAB), not whether that other article has a title with "rapper" as a disambiguator. It doesn't matter that Blanco (Italian rapper) hasn't (yet) been created. (Creating it would be fine.) Also note that Blanco (rapper) was a redirect to Blanco (singer) until last month. SilverLocust 💬 02:05, 20 June 2024 (UTC)

- JPMorgan Chase → JPMorganChase (currently a redirect back to JPMorgan Chase) (move · discuss) – Company name changed from “JPMorgan Chase & Co.” to “JPMorganChase;” former short name for company now all one word, no space between “JPMorgan” and “Chase” Artystyk386 (talk) 07:07, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Company website at [2] still says "© 2024 JPMorgan Chase & Co." This is definitely not uncontroversial. — Amakuru (talk) 18:06, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
