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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place. If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here. Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself. If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

• List of May Bukas Pa episodes, chapters, and specials (currently a redirect to List of May Bukas Pa episodes and chapters) → List of May Bukas Pa episodes and chapters (move · discuss) – Only list the episodes from the series proper and not including other media (trailers, specials).

• List of May Bukas Pa episodes (currently a redirect to List of May Bukas Pa episodes and chapters) → List of May Bukas Pa episodes and chapters (move · discuss) – So that there will be only one name of an article containing the list of the show's episodes and chapters.

• Pulp fiction → Pulp fiction (disambiguation) (currently a redirect back to Pulp fiction) (move · discuss) – Disambiguation page missing a disambiguation tag, plus the current title is almost identical to the page title for Pulp Fiction, the film. Smileyissleepy (talk) 03:17, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This seems like a pretty clear WP:DIFFCAPS situation. Retarget Pulp fiction to Pulp magazine, and move the dabpage to Pulp Fiction (disambiguation). 162 etc. (talk) 03:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Smileyissleepy disambiguation pages do not require "(disambiguation)" in the title C F A 💬 03:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leave as is. It's quite likely lots of people coming to that page will be looking for Pulp Fiction the movie, and the page also provides a Wiktionary link. Not broken so don't "fix" please.  — Amakuru (talk) 08:49, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Hartpury College → Hartpury University and Hartpury College (currently a redirect back to Hartpury College) (move · discuss) – Ofsted, the government, the BBC and the local press all refer to this subject as Hartpury University and Hartpury College and Google lists it as Hartpury University and Hartpury College 𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 16:00, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The same suggestion was considered in an RM four years ago that did not succeed, so an RM discussion seems necessary. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:35, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• TLC (TV network) → TLC (TV channel) (currently a redirect back to TLC (TV network)) (move · discuss) – This is a TV channel, not a TV network, even though/although there are multiple international TLC TV feeds. Intrisit (talk) 08:08, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Moved back in 2013 by @Netoholic (sorry for the ping, I know it's been a decade, but I don't like mentioning somebody w/o pinging them), it has been a while but there was an argument made back then that it's a network, and if others are likely to agree a discussion may be the best choice. ASUKITE 14:36, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Since you mentioned him and have provided the link, I've pinged @Netoholic: to reiterate his stance back then about this – only then will I be convinced to remove this and start an RM/a fresh RM for this. Intrisit (talk) 19:15, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I'll note that User:Netoholic made a number of edits to WP:NCBC in 2013 [1], and that the naming convention looks markedly different today. 162 etc. (talk) 22:38, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Pointing out that this has multiple and varied international feeds (aka channels) is an admission that the article covers a network as an umbrella over those channels. This clearly needs an RM unless requester wants to withdraw it. -- Netoholic @ 05:43, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Illinois–Indiana College Sports Rivalry (currently a redirect to Illinois–Indiana college sports rivalry) → Illinois–Indiana rivalry (currently a redirect instead to Illinois–Indiana college sports rivalry) (move · discuss) – per WP:CONSISTENT with other similar college sports rivalry articles KingSkyLord (talk | contribs) 17:26, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Oppose. This makes it sound like a rivalry between the two states, rather than a sporting one between two colleges. Should probably downcase to college sports rivalry though.  — Amakuru (talk) 18:48, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Um, why? Is it because the "college sports" in the title is no official name/proper noun for this?! Intrisit (talk) 19:17, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I think the context is an important part of this title, per the precision bullet in WP:CRITERIA a decent argument could be made that "college sports" is necessary (although I don't know why its capitalized) After a little digging through our search, I'm not seeing any other examples to meet the WP:CONSISTENT argument, instead a lot of "Team-Team rivalry" (which is fine) and then examples like Michigan–Ohio State football rivalry (and the convention applies to state v state, country v country and etc. ASUKITE 20:16, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  For the record, I did move this to Illinois–Indiana college sports rivalry (just fixed the case), but that shouldn't affect any future move requests or discussions ASUKITE 21:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Perhaps I should have used WP:TITLECON instead. "Team-Team rivalry" is what I was genuinely referring to (e.g. Florida–Kentucky, Houston–Rice) when I meant consistent title standards. It is a rivalry article about two different college athletics teams and historically they have always been named "Team-Team rivalry", "Team-Team football rivalry", etc. Though some schools are named after places, it is not genuinely assumed that articles such as Cincinnati–Memphis for example, is between the two cities as a whole and not the two college sports teams.

• Bono state → Bonoman (currently a redirect back to Bono state) (move · discuss) – Native name is Bonoman, Bono state is the english translation, they fluctuate between commonality per ngrams [2] Alexanderkowal (talk) 12:01, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  The common name appears to be "Bono state" - [3]  — Amakuru (talk) 13:58, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Geodesic manifold (currently a redirect to Complete manifold) → Complete manifold (move · discuss) – "Geodesic manifold" is an extremely unusual term. The correct term would be either "Complete manifold" or "Geodesically complete manifold". Mathwriter2718 (talk) 11:53, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Mathwriter2718 This could be controversial so please start a WP:RM for this. Per WP:TITLECON this seems to be a consistent naming style across titles (see Category:Geodesic (mathematics) C F A 💬 14:16, 27 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
