Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

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, go to the bottom of this section that you are reading right now; edit the subsection Uncontroversial technical requests; insert the following code at the top:

{{subst:RMassist|<!--old page name, without brackets-->|<!--requested name, without brackets-->|reason= <!--reason for move-->}}

This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please 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 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|<!--page to be moved here-->|<!--reason for 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.

Contested technical requests

• Taitung City → Taitung (move · discuss) – it redirect to article there is no ambiguity as the county is always known as Taitung County not Taitung alone. – — ASDFGH =] ^talk? 00:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Object to RMTR speedy move the target was a disambiguation page for 8 years, until the nominator changed this into a redirect in 2015, and the topic's Chinese name uses "市" (city); as it was a bold conversion without discussion, this hasn't been determined to be a primary topic either. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

• Hualien City → Hualien (move · discuss) – it redirect to article there is no ambiguity as the county is always known as Hualien County not Hualien alone. – — ASDFGH =] ^talk? 00:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Object to RMTR speedy move the target was a disambiguation page for 4 years, until the nominator changed this into a redirect in 2015, and the topic's Chinese name uses "市" (city); as it was a bold conversion without discussion, this hasn't been determined to be a primary topic either. This used to redirect to the county for 3 years before becoming a disambiguation page. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

• Miaoli City → Miaoli (move · discuss) – it redirect to article there is no ambiguity as the county is always known as Miaoli County not Miaoli alone. – — ASDFGH =] ^talk? 00:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Object to RMTR speedy move the target was a disambiguation page for 7 years, until the nominator moved the disambiguation page in 2015, and the topic's Chinese name uses "市" (city); as it was a bold conversion without discussion, this hasn't been determined to be a primary topic either. This is a multimove request as the disambiguation page was displaced by the nominator earlier. The disambiguation page should be returned to the base name. -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

• Pingtung City → Taitung (move · discuss) – it redirect to article there is no ambiguity as the county is always known as Pingtung County not Pingtung alone. – — ASDFGH =] ^talk? 00:47, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
  • Object to RMTR speedy move the target makes no sense. Further, if the nominator meant Pingtung then this is effectively a multimove, since the nominator displaced the disambiguation page that existed there; and should have been proposed that way. And the topic's Chinese name uses "市" (city); -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 05:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
