  • Wikipedia:WikiProject Seychelles → Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Seychelles work group – (Discuss) – Defunct WikiProject. Small scope, better off as a task force. 48JCLTALK 16:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Jagged Alliance → Jagged Alliance (video game) – (Discuss) – Now that Jagged Alliance 3 has been released, there are 6 articles for other games in the series beyond the first game, I think this series page is now the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. Also, both have low page views but the series page has over twice the views of the first game: [1]. --Mika1h (talk) 14:23, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Examples from other languages of Iberia: Aragonese literature, Asturian literature, Catalan literature, Basque literature, Spanish literature, Portuguese literature.

  • WCML → WCML (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – Ok, I know there was another discussion on this six years ago, but things have changed since then and its more than reasonable enough. this chart over here (linked below since It wont work on the RM discussion) clearly tells the story. The West Coast Main Line is the clear primary topic for WCML. The rest of the WCMLs are quite obscure and most people searching for WCML are likely looking for the railway line.

  • Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao district → NTR district – (Discuss) – The actual name of the district. The expanded title is not and of course not used by RS. I've reverted an earlier move, but it is again moved to the incorrect title. I did not want to get into a move war, thus this RM. — DaxServer (t·m·e·c) 08:47, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Khanqah → Sufi lodge – (Discuss) – Per WP:USEENGLISH and for a more inclusive title that reduces confusion. Recapping what was discussed in the thread above:
    Until now, this article has been the main overview article for Sufi religious institutions/venues. There are various terms used in Arabic/Persian/Turkish/etc for this type of institution, with the choice varying roughly by region. This is explained in the article already ("Etymology" section) and also conveniently in the equivalent entry of the Encyclopedia of Islam, Three ([2]):  ::

    Khānaqāh (or khānqāh) is a Persian word for the place where Muslim mystics gather. It was, and still is, used mainly in Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia, western China, and the Indian subcontinent. Other terms were more common elsewhere, such as zāwiya in Arab lands, Africa, and Indonesia, and tekke in Turkey and the Balkans. All these terms are often interchangeable. Usually translated as “Ṣūfī lodge” (rather than “convent”) in English, the khānaqāh is a room or an establishment where Ṣūfīs assemble around a spiritual master to perform rituals (often by night or in darkness) and to share meals, to communicate with one another, and to follow spiritual teachings.

    While the term "khanqah" is one of the most common terms for this type of place, it is not used in all regions, and in some regions the different terms may also have slightly different meanings. This has led to confusion on more than one occasion over this article's scope, over which title editors should link in other articles, etc. Changing to an English term, which is more generic, would avoid this problem and make the title a little more neutral, in addition to being easier for unfamiliar English readers. As the source above indicates, "Sufi lodge" is the favored English term. An ngram of the most common English variants seems to confirm this. The various non-English terms should redirect here (as most already do) or, where appropriate, can be turned into subtopic articles for more specific types of Sufi institutions or for specific regions (e.g. like Zawiya (institution), Dargah).

  • Srebrenica massacre → Srebrenica genocide – (Discuss) – I suggest that we rename this article to "Srebrenica genocide" now that the UN has issued its resolution on the matter today, designating July 11 as the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the 1995 Genocide in Srebrenica Please also check the discussion above.

  • Sapphic → Sapphic (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – Now, sapphism already exists and explains the meaning of sapphic as the primary topic, as it's directly derived from Sappho. I propose renaming it and retargeting Sapphic to sapphism. --MikutoH talk! 21:14, 2 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 02:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 17:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:43, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Timeline of the Donald Trump presidency → Timeline of the presidency of Donald Trump – (Discuss) – Please correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I've found, there was never a discussion for the 2018 moves of countless timeline pages regarding the presidencies of US presidents. Based on this, I would like to discuss whether it might be more useful to move those pages so that they follow the format "Timeline of the presidency of ..." rather than having the presidency as a "attachment" to the president's name as it is now. –Tobias (talk) 16:07, 26 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • 2023 Perth City Council election → 2023 City of Perth council election – (Discuss) – "Perth City Council" is a colloquial and informal name, which is not in official use anywhere.

  • Too Many Humans..... → Too Many Humans – (Discuss) – The article title contains five consecutive dots, which is a phenomenon that is basically never used in ordinary English – I found only four articles like that on all of Wikipedia. MOS:TM says to try to use ordinary English formatting. Although this (self-released, apparently not very notable) album does indeed have five dots on its cover art, this typographical embellishment is not supported by the cited sources. The article cites three independent (non-user-generated) sources: Louder, Vinyl District, and Strauss Media. All three of them use no dots at all when referring to this topic. One non-independent source is also cited (Drag City), and it doesn't use any dots either. The proposed title already redirects to this topic. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 07:35, 17 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 12:59, 26 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • Tungipara Sheikh family → Family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman – (Discuss) – The current name of the article is Tungipara Sheikh family which is WP:OR. The name is originated from original research and no historical book or news article call this family by Tungipara Sheikh Family. This family, unlike Suhrawardy family, wasn’t part of publication or scholarly research before the creation of Bangladesh and before Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and that's why people didn’t give any specific name for the family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. There are many books and research papers mention the family as "Family of Bangabandhu" or "Family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman". Bangabandhu is his title so it is reasonable to name this article Family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. There are sources to verify my claim. For example, see this article where it says "8 Bangabandhu family members, relatives to contest polls". The Daily Star states "Bangabandhu family to get more security, free utility, foreign treatment" (see here). Now some sources also call this family as Sheikh family. See this Bengali source where it says in title "শেখ পরিবার থেকে নেতৃত্বে যারা" (lit. 'Those led from the Sheikh family'), but if you read the content then you will get "...দশম জাতীয় সংসদে বঙ্গবন্ধু পরিবারের সাত সদস্য ছিলেন। একাদশ জাতীয় সংসদ নির্বাচনে অংশ নেওয়া বঙ্গবন্ধু শেখ মুজিবুর রহমানের পরিবারের ৯ সদস্যই প্রতিনিধিত্ব করছেন.." (lit. '...There were seven members of the Bangabandhu family in the 10th National Parliament. 9 members of the family of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman who participated in the 11th National Parliament election are represented...'). Now the question is if the nine members are really from the direct bloodline of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman or not. * Sheikh Hasina : Daughter of Mujib * Sheikh Selim : Son of Mujib's sister * Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh : Son of Mujib's nephew * Sheikh Helal Uddin : Son of Mujib's brother * Noor-E-Alam Chowdhury Liton : Son of Hasina's cousins * Abul Hasanat Abdullah : Son of Mujib's brother-in-law * Sheikh Tonmoy son of Hasina's cousin * Sheikh Salahuddin Jewel : Son of Mujib's younger brother. * Mujibur Rahman Chowdhury : Son of Hasina's cousins. So it is not important if they are directly from Mujib's bloodline or not, the sources still call the family as Mujib's family and that family includes relatives and even distant relatives of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. Naming this family as Sheikh family or Sheikh–Wazed family or Sheikh–Kazi family is original research, and we should name it as Family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman because we know the family because Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, father of the nation, came from the family. And the most important fact is reliable sources call the family by the family of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman.

  • Mokai Tramway → Taupo Totara Timber Company Railway – (Discuss) – The proposed title makes this article easier to find. Many readers will have heard of the "TTT", the tourist town of Taupo, or Lake Taupo. Few people will be familiar with the sawmilling village of Mokai, which today has only a few houses and a marae. The name also distinguishes the main Putaruru to Mokai line from the bush tramways radiating from Mokai. Many of these tramways were accessible only to selected TTT Railway rolling stock. In contrast, all TTT locomotives including the Mallet and the four-wheeled locos were able to run through to Mokai, where the company had its main mechanical workshop. The proposed new title also distinguishes the TTT Railway from the Kinleith Branch, which covered only part of the route and was built on formation that was largely new. (The original TTT formation north of Tokoroa is still visible in some places). I have a large collection of source material on the railway and the company and I hope to add more info and true primary citations as time permits. I will also propose that a separate page be set up covering the TTT company itself Kbwc56 (talk) 00:09, 26 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 00:45, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unified list of Indigenous minority peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East of Russia → Unified list of indigenous minority peoples of the North, Siberia, and the Far East of Russia – (Discuss) – Here "indigenous" is a common adjectivre, not the proper name - Altenmann >talk 00:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC). - Altenmann >talk 00:42, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Protestant Church in Germany → Evangelical Church in Germany – (Discuss) – Both terms (in English) are used by the EKD itself, but Evangelical is the more common, more accurate term. Etymologically, evangelical/evangelische refers to the gospel (εὐαγγέλιον), while Protestant refers to the Protestation at Speyer. It is not true that "Evangelical" is the former name (see EKD en homepage), and it is also untrue that the term "Evangelical" strictly or primarily refers to the Evangelical/Mainline divide among American denominations. The onus must be on those preferring "Protestant" to demonstrate such a shift in meaning, and I do not feel that prior discussion participants have succeeded. If we are worried that the reader would make this false association, it could easily be cleared up in the body of the article. Survey of use: Ngram, World Council of Churches, Britannica. The lead could read, for example: "the Evangelical Church in Germany, (also called the Protestant Church in Germany)" Dirkwillems (talk) 17:10, 25 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • Words of estimative probability → Verbal probability – (Discuss) – Given that this has been here for a decade and a half now, I didn't want to move it unilaterally without giving people a chance to object beforehand, but verbal probability seems to be a much more concise way of defining the same topic, see for example a PLOS article.[1] I don't think "words of estimative probability" is used that much more often in literature, for all that Kent used it in their 1962 work, from what I can see, it's actually the other way around, even though we do have some that use it like van Tiel et al.[2] Of course, most literature does seem to tack on "word" or "phrase" or "expression" or something else like that, but they also seem to drop it easily enough when concision is desired, so I don't think it's necessary for our title here. I suppose probability phrase is another plausible alternate title if we want to stick to proper grammar, and it does seem to see some use in RS as well, but it seems overall less common, which is why I've opted for "verbal probability" instead. Should probably be a redirect though!

  • 1918 Irish general election → 1918 United Kingdom general election in Ireland – (Discuss) – This article is about the portion of the 1918 UK general election which was held in Ireland, similar to December 1910 United Kingdom general election in Ireland. It was not an election to the Dáil Éireann like 1922 Irish general election, as the Dáil Éireann did not exist at the time of the election, but was formed in the aftermath of the election.

These topics are all titled "Wannabe", with two exceptions: this song, and Wanna Be (single album), which receives essentially no traffic.[23] Wannabe is not known in any reliable sources as "Wanna Be."

  • Hoani Nahi → Hoani Nahe – (Discuss) – While 'Nahi' appears in some sources, and sometimes both 'Nahe' and 'Nahi' appear in the same source, it seems that 'Nahe' is the correct spelling. 'Nahe' is the only spelling used in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography article, the Cyclopedia of New Zealand article, and the numerous articles about him in the Journal of the Polynesian Society. In Papers Past magazines and journals, 'Hoani Nahe' occurs 78 times and 'Hoani Nahi' never. In Papers Past newspapers 'Hoani Nahe' occurs 696 times and 'Hoani Nahi' 47 times. All 47 times were articles about him, not by him; the letters that he wrote to newspapers were always singed 'Nahe'. We did once had an article called Hoani Nahe – it was merged into this one, rather than the reverse merge, for reasons I don't understand. Nurg (talk) 09:59, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • Sloboda → Sloboda (settlement) – (Discuss) – This word means "freedom" in the original Slavic languages, and while there is a significant usage in Russian and Ukrainian history as well as some usage in modern-day Russian administrative divisions, described at this presumed primary topic, its usage and long-term significance does not actually overshadow the ambiguity over the other uses of the word for the average English reader. In preparation for this move, I went through the list of ~200 incoming links to preemptively disambiguate them. The usage is typically clerical, to explain the strange term, which is most commonly placed in italics. This indicates that the fact that the explanation was directly at "sloboda" was a very easy way to get the etymological explanation. However, that's a possible description of editor behavior, which is not necessarily the reader behavior (WP:RF). It should also be noted that Russian toponymy lists are quite weird from the perspective of a navigation purpose for set indices, with an apparent habit of linking these kinds of terms contrary to what MOS:DABONE would advise. It's not that I'm opposed to having a link somewhere in such a set index to explain the term, but the volume of this skews the statistics. After going through the list, I was left with 19 links (~10%) where I couldn't identify a clear connection to this particular subject. Mostly they seemed to be generic references to the Slavic word for "freedom". This also extended to Russian topics. Some were references to specific places named Sloboda, not the concept. I had also disambiguated numerous others by linking Foobar Svoboda instead of keeping a largely useless partial link (sadly I didn't keep a count of these to be able to note the percentage). A search in Google Books for me does not identify this meaning to be primary - I get more references to people named this way. Likewise for Google Scholar. I don't have reason to believe that this would differ for the average English reader. WikiNav for Sloboda and meta:Research:Wikipedia clickstream archive indicate that the hatnote is consistently one of the most commonly clicked links on the page - even in months where we see a larger readership, it's still among the most commonly clicked links (for example in March '24, with 162 clickstreams to 9 identified destinations, the hatnote was #3 with 17). This is typically indicative of a navigation issue. Another editor reverted the initial preparatory move, thinking this broke links (it did not) and saying this changes a 'long established' status quo - I don't see an actual rationale there. Just because this grew organically as is - doesn't mean it's not subject to evaluation and adjustment. In addition, similar terms like svoboda and swoboda are not short-circuiting here and are indeed disambiguated, so this change would seem to make things more consistent.

  • Genocide of Indigenous peoples → Genocide of indigenous peoples – (Discuss) – "Indigenous" is only a proper name when adopted as conventional for a particular ethnic group, and when applied to the specific groups who have done so. As a general, global adjective it is not and cannot be a proper name (any more than the opposite, "colonial"), so should not be capitalized. See in particular the lead paragraph of MOS:CAPS: WP does not capitalize that which is not capitalized consistently across nearly all independent reliable sources, and "indigenous peoples" is not so capitalized (indeed, it is overwhelmingly lowercase [24][25], except in highly retrictive contexts that refer to specific populations who have adopted the term self-referentially as a name in English). This same situation is true of all such terms such as "native" and "aboriginal". "Aboriginal" is capitalized in reference to autochthonous Australians, and "Native" is capitalized in "Native Americans" in reference to the autochthonous peoples of what is now the US and sometimes (in mostly US usage) all of the Americas. But "native" is not capitalized (by the preponderance of modern reliable sources) in reference to Australians, nor "aboriginal" in reference to Americans, and neither is capitalized in "the native (aboriginal) peoples and languages of Siberia and Central Asia before the Soviet Union", etc. PS: There may be other over-capitalized articles of this sort, but perhaps take them one at a time, since some might pertain more narrowly to groups that have taken on "Indigenous" as a self-referential name/label.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  04:42, 25 May 2024 (UTC); revised 06:03, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Karma (2024 song) → Karma's a Bitch – (Discuss) – This page keeps getting moved. The previous rationale was "The song was originally called that in the Miley Cyrus demo, and the Brit Smith demo. It also takes away the disambiguating, so it more succinct." I’m unsure, however. The article is about the song as an entity, but that 'entity' hasn’t got a name, but it’s clear that there are two versions of the same song, and that they are not covers of each other. I don’t think this has ever happened before. Plus the proposed title is already a redirect to the page, so seems like the most logical title. This is a case of 'what came first, the chicken or the egg?' Another suggestion is Karma and Karma's a Bitch. 109.235.247.80 (talk) 01:57, 17 April 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:27, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • September 2022 Armenia–Azerbaijan clashes → 2022 аttack of Azerbaijan on Armenia – (Discuss) – I have not seen a single reliable source saying that Armenia attacked Azerbaijan. But multiple reliable sources say the opposite. Various sources describe the events as an “invasion”, “offensive”, “attack”, or “assault.” There is consensus that Azerbaijan was the one who initiated the hostilities. Some talk about “Azerbaijan’s Invasion of Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Offensive on Armenia”, “Azerbaijan’s Attack on Armenia”, but they all agree on one thing: Azerbaijan was the initiator of the clash, and it was Azerbaijan who attacked. Therefore, the title “Attack of Azerbaijan on Armenia” perfectly reflects the vast majority of reliable sources and is the least ambiguous. I will provide the overwhelming evidence below: * Human Rights Watch:  :“The killings took place during fighting between Armenian and Azerbaijani forces that broke out in mid-September, when Azerbaijan made incursions into Armenia...” * Genocide Watch:  :“Azerbaijani military attacks on Armenian territory show Azerbaijani disregard for Armenian sovereignty.” * Freedom House:  :“Freedom House Condemns Azerbaijani Attacks on Armenia”  :“The Azerbaijani armed forces must immediately cease their deadly attacks on Armenian territory” * Axel Gehring, Ph.D., political scientist and expert in the field of foreign and security policy and researcher at the Institute for Critical Social Analysis of the Rosa Luxemburg Foundation in Berlin:  :“On September 13, regular Azerbaijani troops launched a large-scale attack on Armenian territory. This attack took tensions between the countries to a new level.” * Laurence Broers is a specialist in conflicts in the Transcaucasus, founder of the scientific journal Caucasus Survey:  :"Azerbaijan's recent attack seeks to enforce terms in negotiations with Armenia" “ The recent large-scale cross-border attacks inside Armenia by Azerbaijan...” * Maximilian Hess, Research Fellow for Central Asia at the Foreign Policy Institute, in Foreign Policy magazine:  :“Azerbaijani forces who marched into Armenia continue to occupy part of its territory, in particular heights around the town of Jermuk.” * David L. Phillips, conflict analyst in The National Interest:  :“The United States criticized Azerbaijan's recent attacks on Armenia proper” * European Parliament Resolution:  :“Strongly condemns the latest military aggression by Azerbaijan on September 12, 2022 on the sovereign territory of Armenia”  :“calls on the Azerbaijani authorities, therefore, to immediately withdraw from all parts of the territory of Armenia “ * Wojciech Gorecki, senior researcher at the Department of Turkey, Caucasus and Central Asia:  :“in September 2022 Azerbaijan attacked targets located on Armenian territory.” * The Guardian:  : “This week, with attention focused across the Black Sea in Ukraine, fighting on the border between Azerbaijan and Armenia killed about 100 troops after Azerbaijan shelled a number of towns in Armenia, with both sides accusing each other of “provocations”.” * Der Spiegel:  : “Peace negotiations mediated by the European Union have been at an impasse since Baku also attacked territory in the Republic of Armenia in September 2022.” * TIME:  : “...democratic nation that was recently invaded by its authoritarian neighbor”  : “...but also Armenia, which has been suffering from Azerbaijan's invasion for almost three weeks now.” * BBC:  : “I don’t think anyone doubts that Azerbaijan started this operation on the territory of Armenia. Even Azerbaijani commentators admit this. Armenia is currently weak, has little interest in disrupting the status quo.” * Eurasianet  :"Azerbaijan launches large-scale attacks on Armenia"  :“Azerbaijan launched a large-scale attack on targets in Armenia, an unprecedented expansion of the long-running conflict into Armenian territory.” * Michael Rubin, senior researcher at AIP:  :“Last week, Azerbaijan attacked Armenia proper. (Last week Azerbaijan attacked Armenia directly)” * Paul Stronski is a senior fellow in the Carnegie Russia and Eurasia Programs, specializing in Russia and the South Caucasus:  : “..the fact that Russia is preoccupied, certainly led to what looks like an Azerbaijani offensive at this time”  : “And what we even saw just in the last few days is actually attacks inside and shelling inside cities inside Armenia, not just along the border." * Kapil Komireddy, political columnist for The Telegraph:  : “But so little about Azerbaijan's attack, which goes beyond the disputed territory of Karabakh and targets Armenia proper.” *Seth Franzman, Middle East analyst for The Jerusalem Post , contributor to Defense News, The National Interest and Digest of Middle East Studies:  :“Attacks on Armenia represent dangerous escalation” *Carnegie Europe:  :“Nearly 300 soldiers died in a large-scale Azerbaijani incursion into the territory of Armenia on September 13-14.” Vanezi (talk) 21:23, 5 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:19, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bhavana (actress) → Bhavana (actress, born 1986) – (Discuss) – WP:PDAB versus Bhavana (Kannada actress) not justified. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:01, 1 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. ToadetteEdit! 11:43, 9 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:16, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Heptanese school (painting) → Ionian school (painting) – (Discuss) – The term Ionian seems to be more than 10X more common than Heptanese for these topics.

  • Volodarsk, Ukraine → Vedmezhe – (Discuss) – Due to the modern name of the settlement, since 2016. See: https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/1351-19#Text Yuriy Kvach (talk) 09:19, 21 May 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:00, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • 1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners → 1988 Iran prison massacre – (Discuss) – Massacre is the WP:COMMONNAME by academics, journalists, and by human rights organizations, more than 30 years after the event, with plenty of time for the dust to settle on a name. It's also a WP:EUPHEMISM for an event in which up to 30,000 people were killed for apparently their political views, in what Amnesty International described as crimes against humanity in 2018. See Amnesty International, Abdorrahman Boroumand Center, Human Rights Watch, Geneva International Centre for Justice, BBC, France24, UPI, group of senior United Nations officials and Nobel prize winners, Telegraph; scholar Nasser Mohajer, report of the inquiry by academic Geoffrey Robertson, scholar Reza Afshari; more than enough WP:RS.

  • Philip of Sweden → Philip, King of Sweden – (Discuss) – Per consistency with other Swedish kings who were without a regnal number, such as Birger, King of Sweden, Valdemar, King of Sweden, and Albert, King of Sweden. 2601:249:9301:D570:940A:52B5:CCA9:A4A3 (talk) 04:43, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Majority favorite criterion → majority criterion – (Discuss) – To stay consistent with the names at Wikipedia, I recommend that this page should be moved to "majority criterion" or "majority winner criterion". There are already the Condorcet winner criterion, the Condorcet loser criterion, and the majority loser criterion. Who uses the term "majority favorite criterion" anyway?

  • Israel–Hamas war → Gaza War (2023–present) – (Discuss) – The previous discussion has concluded that WP:COMMONNAME does not stand as other names are also in common use. In such case, WP:COMMONNAME states that When there is no single, obvious name that is demonstrably the most frequently used for the topic by these sources, editors should reach a consensus as to which title is best by considering these criteria directly. I believe the proposed title is better in consistency; previous wars involving Gaza, Gaza War (2008–2009) and 2014 Gaza War, use Gaza War in the title, so this article should also follow suit.
