Technical requests
Uncontroversial technical requests
- HD 142250 → HIP 77900 (currently a redirect back to HD 142250) (move · discuss) – WP:COMMONAME 21 Andromedae (talk) 22:07, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- Chela (organ) (currently a redirect to Chelae) → Chelae (move · discuss) – WP:NATDIS jlwoodwa (talk) 03:40, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Bonnaroo Music Festival (currently a redirect to Bonnaroo) → Bonnaroo (move · discuss) – I'm unable to move the page I believe due to too many redirects to "Bonnaroo", and that it would replace it with a page it is redirecting to. As to why it is moving uncontroversial-ly: "Bonnaroo" is the most commonly used, associated, and referenced name. The original page name did not include "and Arts Festival", so it was otherwise incorrect. The shortened name is appropriate under Wikipedia's naming conventions, does not create disambiguation confusion with other "bonnaroo's", and will appropriately conform to other major American festival pages like Lollapalooza, Coachella, South by Southwest, Burning Man, and Electric Forest. Shotgunheist 💬 03:47, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Not necessarily uncontroversial, and would likely also involve moving Category:Bonnaroo Music Festival as well as the "by year" articles (2002 Bonnaroo Music Festival et. al.) 162 etc. (talk) 04:48, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Fair enough. Thanks. Shotgunheist 💬 14:26, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

- Chŏng Sang-chin (currently a redirect to Chŏng Sang-jin) → Chŏng Sang-jin (move · discuss) – Page creator; my mistake, hyphenation should't reset romanization. 211.43.120.242 (talk) 12:03, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- Luft (surname) (currently a redirect to Luft) → Luft (move · discuss) – The surname is far better known than an obscure German chess term (I studied a bit of chess in my youth, and I'd never heard of the term until today. Clarityfiend (talk) 13:36, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Mohsin Raza Naqvi (currently a redirect to Mohsin Naqvi) → Mohsin Naqvi (move · discuss) – Undiscussed move by Titan2456 - the article was moved after a discussion on the talkpage. 2A01:E0A:3D6:D580:952B:E322:FA07:1D4D (talk) 12:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Contested technical requests
- New Brunswick Legislature → List of New Brunswick Legislative Assemblies (currently a redirect back to New Brunswick Legislature) (move · discuss) – Article pretty much covers Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, just with a list of sessions. This page should be renamed to "List of New Brunswick Legislative Assemblies" (which redirects to this article) and "New Brunswick Legislature" should serve as a redirect to the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick article. B3251(talk) 18:56, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- Overlap isn't that obvious, the New Brunswick Legislature article mentions
Today, the legislature is made of two elements: the lieutenant governor (representing the King of Canada) and the unicameral assembly called the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick.
The article also discusses the earlier history of the legislature, where the Legislative Assembly was only one half of a bicameral legislature, and the earlier items on the list include both houses. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 21:38, 29 June 2024 (UTC)

- San Lorenzo de Roma Church (Balagtas) → Balagtas Church (currently a redirect back to San Lorenzo de Roma Church (Balagtas)) (move · discuss) – The shorter name "Balagtas Church" is the more common name and not "San Lorenzo de Roma Church". Sanglahi86 (talk) 13:32, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Sanglahi86 A Google search shows this is probably not the WP:COMMONNAME. I suggest starting a WP:RM instead. C F A 💬 14:54, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Serviceton railway line → Ararat railway line (currently a redirect instead to Ballarat V/Line rail service) (move · discuss) – Revamped the article as the line has not been known as the "Serviceton railway line" since 1995, when the line past Ararat was converted to standard gauge and reopened as part of the then-new Western standard gauge line. Граймс (talk) 14:06, 28 June 2024 (UTC)
- Looking at the official V/Line maps, I can't find evidence of individual V/Lines having official names, do you have sources for "Ararat railway line" being the WP:COMMONNAME? Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 16:53, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- This article is about the physical rail line, not the V/Line service which runs on it. Both terminate at Ararat, since the rest of physical rail line was converted to standard gauge and connected to other lines to form the Western standard gauge railway line. As for V/Line, they treat their passenger service to Ararat as an extension of the Ballarat V/Line rail service (you can see that on the map you've linked, and the fact Ararat services share the Ballarat V/Line twitter account, or the fact vline.com.au only shows Ararat services after you click Ballarat, etc), so it's documented on that page instead.

- MyLek (film) → Mylek (film) (move · discuss) – name correction 49.33.196.10 (talk) 15:29, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- If Mylėk is turned into a redirect to its creator Vilija Matačiūnaitė, perhaps the film should be moved to Mylek or MyLek. (I turned the former into a dab before realizing this.) Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 16:23, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
- And if it isn't, per WP:SMALLDIFFERENCES, the film should be at MyLek (or Mylek (film)). The only question is which capitalization of the title is the most used, as the film's official material appears to use a mixed-script title that obviously can't be our article title.

- KFF Tirana AS (currently a redirect to Tirana AS) → Tirana AS (move · discuss) – I had requested this move a few weeks back but I can't seem to find the request any longer. The actual name of the football team is Tirana AS. KFF that's added to the name title is incorrect. I have in my possesion a book from author Florent Hoxha titled "Futbolli Femëror Shqiptar", the only published book of its kind covering the history of Albanian women's football. In page 41, the author gives a brief profile of the club's history. Tirana AS is known as such from 2007 until at least 2021. The club was eventually disbanded. There is speculation it merged into a new club, known as KFF Tirana. I have yet to find a source that confirms this. Throughout the club's 15 year history, they have always been known as Tirana AS. This is reflected in their logo as well. In the 2020–21 table standings, they are still referred to as Tirana AS. Kj1595 (talk) 01:55, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- Last month at RMT, Ahecht pinged Fjorilda09 to ask about their addition of Tirana AS's statistics to the KFF Tirana page. Several days passed with no response—even now, Fjorilda09 hasn't edited since 29 May 2024. Ahecht, are you still contesting this? Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 03:43, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- This article's title needs to change. Here is further proof as to why: During the 2021–22 season, both KFF Tirana and Tirana AS are listed in the table standings. So, the clubs could not possibly be one of the same. In this article published last year in the Albanian Football Federation's official website, it mentions the club being affiliated or attached to KFF Gramshi. Kj1595 (talk) 20:02, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Rotideypoc41352 It was unclear to me at the time as to whether such a change would be controversial to those that had maintained the statistics pages showing them at the same team, so I'll defer judgement to those more familiar with Albanian football. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:23, 2 July 2024 (UTC)- Thanks, Ahecht. Now that I'm looking at the article, though, it looks like there's at least one copy-paste move that happened (ComparePages for reference). I haven't the time to check further, but I am wondering if every time the article now at KFF Gramshi was moved (simplified move history: Tirana AS → KFF Tirana AS → KF Laçi Women → KFF Laçi → KFF Gramshi), if the article was completely rewritten and the old versions simply copied over the redirect from the move without proper attribution.

- I have written the Tirana AS article myself, gathering information from Florent Hoxha's book. This team has been known as Tirana AS from its foundation in 2007 until 2022. That's a span of 16 years. The name is displayed as such in the league standings for each season. This team has no affiliation with KFF Tirana, which is a separate club, part of the larger SK Tirana entity. Kj1595 (talk) 21:15, 2 July 2024 (UTC)
- Here is physical evidence showing the name of the team as Tirana AS from the 2019–20 season > https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/qzwwp3d9lrov1u12rg3m6/Photo-Jul-04-2024-1-08-31-AM.jpg?rlkey=nf8d2jc347ygx82rors0xlz9b&dl=0 Kj1595 (talk) 08:12, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- Professional Golfers' Association of America → PGA of America (currently a redirect back to Professional Golfers' Association of America) (move · discuss) – Redirect between these two pages is backwards. Should redirect from Professional Golfers' Association of America to PGA of America because PGA of America is the WP:COMMONNAME for the organization. Kevinjscott (talk) 00:11, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Kevinjscott This is definitely not uncontroversial. Please start an WP:RM for this if you want to continue. Acronyms are usually not used in page titles (see MOS:ACROTITLE) unless the topic is primarily known as the acronym (e.g. NASA). A similar move request was proposed on NBA a few months ago and did not succeed, so I doubt this one will. C F A 💬 14:55, 4 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Eurohunter: I have reverted it to Carrefour per 162 etc. and per WP:COMMONNAME. (I have also updated the current title in this request.) To move it to Carrefour Group, you will need to open a requested-move discussion, which you can do by clicking "discuss" on this request. SilverLocust 💬 04:11, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
- @SilverLocust: Actually not. These two are different things. Carrefour Group (Q3117359) is a French retail and wholesaling corporation which operates Carrefour (Q217599) a hypermarket brand of the Carrefour Group. Eurohunter (talk) 08:41, 5 July 2024 (UTC)
