- Sharda University → Sharda University, Greater Noida (move · discuss) – a new university by same name is opened in Agra, so remove the confusion by adding location in the name. Third party refrance for establishment of a university with same name at Agra - https://lntedutech.com/newsroom/collegeconnect/lnt-edutech-partners-with-sharda-university-agra-for-integrated-engineering-programs/ & https://facultytick.com/2024/06/10/sharda-university-agra-invited-applications-from-eligible-candidates-for-the-following-post-of-teaching-faculty-recruitment/ Note - Both universities are by same management, but different entities. 14.139.183.119 (talk) 20:51, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

- Vasai Virar Municipal Corporation Marathon → Vasai-Virar Municipal Corporation Marathon (move · discuss) – needed 49.32.182.115 (talk) 16:53, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

- Moon Ga-young → Mun Ka-young (move · discuss) – List of reliable sources (per WP:RSPSOURCES and WP:KO/RS#R) using the name "Mun Ka-young": 1.(www.chosun.com) 2.(www.koreatimes.co.kr) 3.(www.voguehk.com) 4.(www.koreaherald.com) 5.(en.yna.co.kr) 27.125.245.54 (talk) 09:16, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I'm seeing several sources in the article which seem to support the name Moon Ga-young. I'd recommend opening a full requested move discussion for this. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:33, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- All the sources above used the name Mun Ka-young, what is "support the name Moon Ga-young" mean? 27.125.245.189 (talk) 16:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I was simply looking through the references in the article and checking which name pops up more in sources at a glance. I'm not making a statement about which title would be more appropriate, just that a full discussion may be beneficial to establish a consensus on the topic. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 16:55, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

- Canada Permanent Trust Building → Canada Permanent Building (currently a redirect back to Canada Permanent Trust Building) (move · discuss) – This is not the correct name of the building. The name is visible on the front entrance. Tsc9i8 (talk) 18:18, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- @Tsc9i8 Sources use both names so this is not necessarily uncontroversial. There is also a semi-notable "Canada Permanent Building" in Edmonton which complicates things. C F A 💬 18:51, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- Given this was the company's head office, I would give it the title, and disambiguate any future "Canada Permanent Building" pages for offices in other cities. In any case, Canada Permanent Trust was a subsidiary of the larger parent company, the Canada Permanent Mortgage Corporation. This building was the head office of both companies, hence why it is called "Canada Permanent" without the added "Trust" or "Mortgage." Tsc9i8 (talk) 12:36, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- You are clearly much more knowledgeable about the topic than I am so I won't dispute this, but because sources use both names (ex: [1][2], [3][4]), I suggest starting a requested move discussion on the talk page in case it is contested. C F A 💬 16:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- You need to cite sources. The references at the article all use "Canada Permanent Trust Building". 162 etc. (talk) 22:20, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

- @LucasBrown: See health care and Talk:Health care/Archive 2#Requested move 2 December 2018. This is potentially controversial and would require a requested-move discussion. SilverLocust 💬 02:55, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
- Third intifada → Third Intifada (currently a redirect back to Third intifada) (move · Kinsio]]'''+('''''[[User+talk:Kinsio|talk]]'''''+★+'''''[[Special:Contributions/Kinsio|contribs]]'''''+★+'''''[[Special:UserRights/Kinsio|rights]]''''')+23:44,+11+July+2024+(UTC)&preloadparams[]=1234160502">discuss) – Term is a proper name, so should be capitalized per WP:NCCAPS. Target currently exists and redirects to current title, needs to be the other way around. Would also appreciate carrying out my request for an editnotice placed at the current title at the new title if it still hasn't been done (or moving it if it has). Kinsio (talk ★ contribs ★ rights) 23:44, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
- This isn't Uncontroversial. Ngrams suggest sentence case is the most common for this term. Since there isn't a clearly-defined concept of what the third intifada even means, there doesn't seem to be a case for it being a proper name. — Amakuru (talk) 14:02, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

- @Hemant Dabral: "Jail" and "Prison" have separate meanings. The majority of sources in that article use the term "Prison", and per http://prisons.tn.gov.in/history.htm, Tamil Nadu has "Central Prison"s and "District Jail"s. --Ahecht (TALK

- @Hemant Dabral: Per https://apprisons.gov.in/district-jails.htm, Andhra Pradesh uses "prison" to refer to central facilities and "jail" to refer to district facilities, so Rajahumundry would be a "Central Prison" but the facility in Vijayawada would be a "District Jail". --Ahecht (TALK
