Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

The discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. If any of the following apply to a desired move, treat it as potentially controversial:

There is an existing article (not just a redirect) at the target title;
There has been any past debate about the best title for the page;
Someone could reasonably disagree with the move.

If a desired move is uncontroversial and technical in nature (e.g. spelling), please feel free to move the page yourself. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, you may revert the move and initiate a discussion on its talk page. In either case, if you are unable to complete the move, request it below.

To list a technical request, add the following code at the top of the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests below:

{{subst:RMassist|||}}

This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Do not edit the article's talk page.

If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move it to the Contested technical requests section.

If your technical request is contested by another editor, please remove it from the contested technical requests section and follow the instructions at Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Alternatively, if the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is another page in the way, you can ask for the deletion of the other page. This may apply, for example, if the other page is currently a redirect to the article to be moved, a redirect with no incoming links, or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history. To request the other page be deleted, add the following code to the top of the page that is in the way:

{{db-move||}}

This will list the undesired page for deletion under criterion for speedy deletion G6. If the page is a redirect, place the code above the redirection. For a list of articles being considered for uncontroversial speedy deletion, see Category:Candidates for uncontroversial speedy deletion.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Paul Keegan (footballer born 1984) → Paul Keegan (footballer, born 1984) (move · discuss) – WP:NCDAB – Jmorrison230582 (talk) 06:22, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Sega Sports R&D → Sega Sports R&D (move · discuss) – Wrong namespace. – Mika1h (talk) 00:16, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia:Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium → Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium (move · discuss) – A user moved this article and completely changed the content. I reverted the changes, and tried to move it back but it wouldn't let me so for now it's at the Wikipedia namespace – I-miss-carm (talk) 02:41, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
El Generico → Sami Zayn (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONNAME - As per a Google search for both results, Sami Zayn is approximately twice as popular as El Generico. – RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 03:42, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Eddy Hall → Eddie Hall (move · discuss) – Spelling correction. Previous article using new page name has been moved to Eddie Hall (racing driver). The 'old page name' article has 10x the traffic, even with a spelling mistake. – Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 23:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC) Gaia Octavia Agrippa^Talk 23:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- objection to speedy move The nominator moved Eddie Hall (racing driver) off "Eddie Hall" prior to nominating this. This is clearly what "WP:RM" is meant for, since it is not a move that can be done by a regular user as it usurps a current usage with another. So it should have a regular discussion. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:39, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Dalton (wrestler) → Tyler Breeze (move · discuss) – As per consensus at his talk page, and as per WP:COMMONNAME – RealDealBillMcNeal (talk) 03:47, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong oppose to speedy move This failed as a regular move request 3 times in 2014, therefore does not qualify for a speedy move request. -- 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:46, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Eddie Hall (racing driver) → Eddie Hall (move · discuss) – revert undiscussed move, per objection above about Eddy Hall. This should have been opened as a multimove, not a speedy move, so this page should be returned to the status quo page it occupied for 7 years – 67.70.35.44 (talk) 05:42, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
