Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

• To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

  {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the 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 the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
• If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

• Count on My Love (currently a redirect to Count On My Love) → Count On My Love (move · discuss) – A technical move request is necessary in this case because the move is blocked by an existing redirect. The reason for moving is to be consistent with the move of Count on Me to Count On Me, and other "count on" examples. — Jaydiem (talk) 20:26, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

• You Can't Count on Me (currently a redirect to You Can't Count On Me) → You Can't Count On Me (move · discuss) – A technical move request is necessary in this case because the move is blocked by an existing redirect. The reason for moving is to be consistent with the move of Count on Me to Count On Me, and other "count on" examples. — Jaydiem (talk) 20:19, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

• Sirimongkol Singwangcha (currently a redirect to Sirimongkol Singmanasak) → Sirimongkol Singwancha (currently a redirect instead to Sirimongkol Singmanasak) (move · discuss) – Has always been referred to as Sirimongkol Singwancha 綏靖天皇 (talk) 14:41, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

• Maybe I'm half blind, but it took me a while to find the difference; the proposal is to change the end of the second word from "wangcha" to "wancha". Nyttend (talk) 22:46, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

• Jpsorts (talk) 21:02, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

This is not an uncontroversial technical request: redirected Star Suvarna has an edit history back to 2017 including sockpuppetry. I've tagged the draft for a history merge, though it might not be eligible. Flapjacktastic (talk) 21:20, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

• Fan death → Fan death theory (move · discuss) – The original Korean name for the subject of the page is "선풍기 사망설", literally meaning "Fan Death Theory". Changing the page name to "Fan death theory" would more accurately reflect what the subject is actually known in South Korea. Aceus0shrifter (talk) 14:47, 25 February 2019 (UTC)

The term "fan death" is quite common in English, with an estimated 210,000 Google hits, and the majority of top hits pertain to this topic, while "fan death theory" gets 51 Ghits. Ghits aren't always a good indicator, especially with historical topics ignored by popular culture, such as ancient Estonian gods (see WP:AADP#Google test), but for something in current popular culture, Google's a good deal more reliable for determining what's the most common name. In other words, I oppose moving, since "fan death" is the normal name in English. Nyttend (talk) 22:45, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
