- (Discuss) – Aparna P Nair → Aparna P. Nair – Per WP:SPACEINITS, there should be a full stop after a middle initial. Sources are mixed on this, so the exception regarding preferred style/overwhelming majority of sources is not applicable, as this is just based on the publications' house styles, where we should be defaulting to our own house style. --woodensuperman 10:55, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – The Estée Lauder Companies → Estée Lauder Companies – WP:THE suggests omitting articles from titles by default. A quick search of unaffiliated sources brings up uses of lowercase "the" from the Washington Post, Associated Press, Wall Street Journal, New York Times, ABC, and The Guardian. While it's also not hard to find counterexamples using "The", the point remains that capitalization is not almost always used. Also: unlike examples of the Coca-Cola Company, the New York Times Company, and the Hershey Company, the Estée Lauder Companies logo omits the "The".

- (Discuss) – Wikipedia:Contents → Wikipedia:Knowledge hub – I feel like that the title of "Contents" doesn't give a good overview of what this page is about. The title of "Knowledge hub" would be a much better title so that people are more inclined to explore this page. Interstellarity (talk) 22:07, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Eramosa → Eramosa Member – The main reason is because there is a town of Eramosa, the Eramosa River as well as various companies including an Engineering Consulting firm and a Porcelain Tile company.

- (Discuss) – Maria Theresa of Austria-Este (1849–1919) → Maria Theresa of Austria-Este, Queen of Bavaria – The proposed form of disambiguation is generally preferred to parenthetical (more WP:NATURAL). Other examples of this are seen elsewhere, including Elisabeth of Bavaria, Queen of the Belgians and Maria Theresa of Austria-Este, Queen of Sardinia. estar8806 (talk) ★ 20:48, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Kerber → Kerber (band) – Not the primary topic. Spikes in pageviews (use logarithmic mode) seem correlated with views for Angelique Kerber. Additionally please comment on whether (dab option 1) Kerber should become a disambiguation page or (dab option 2) Kerber (surname) → Kerber. Hameltion (talk | contribs) 20:37, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – List of years in Georgia (country) → List of years in Georgia – English Wikipedia does not have any years articles for U.S. states. Per article title policy, specifically WP:QUALIFIER, we only disambiguate with topics covered in Wikipedia (emphasis mine), so these titles should not include parenthetical disambiguation. It does not make sense for these to be disambiguated when the base names do not exist, nor is it consistent with policy for the base name to redirect there (see WP:MISPLACED). The best we can do to address astonishment for those seeking content on the U.S. state is likely to use hatnotes to link to History of Georgia (U.S. state) or the appropriate section of it. Note that the articles for years 2018, 2019, and 2020 were previously boldly moved by Oeoi for this reason. Mdewman6 (talk) 20:23, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Jewish religious terrorism → Jewish extremist terrorism – Terrorism is not a consequence of “religious” views, but rather of extremist views. An entire religion should not be associated with terrorism, but only the extremists within it. The proposed title meets the precision test in WP:TITLE and complies with WP:NPOV much better than the current title. There seems to be strong support in an ongoing discussion on the List of Islamic terrorist attacks talk-page for changing that title to List of Islamic extremist attacks, and we should make similar move requests for Jewish religious terrorism, Christian terrorism, etc..

- (Discuss) – Temporaries → Richelieu (2023 film) – r"Richelieu" is indeed the official and primary English title for the film sometimes refered to in Europe as "Temporaries". Richelieu is used in English Canada and in the United States as the official English-language title. The English version of the film will be released theatrically by Funfilm Distribution in Canada on September 1st (source : https://www.cinemaduparc.com/en/film/richelieu). "Richelieu" is the title used by the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City for its World Premiere (source: https://tribecafilm.com/films/richelieu-2023). It is also the title used by the Fantasia Film Festival for its Canadian premiere (source: https://fantasiafestival.com/en/film/richelieu). The Calgary International Film Festival uses it as the official English title (source : https://ciff2023.eventive.org/films/64dac0dcc527c30041fa8c6a). Major publications used its official English in reviews and news article, such as The New York Times (source: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/07/movies/tribeca-festival-movie-picks.html), Screen Daily (source: https://www.screendaily.com/news/box-office-hit-talk-to-me-wins-2023-fantasia-international-feature-audience-award/5184904.article), Movie Jawn (source : https://www.moviejawn.com/home/2023/6/16/tribeca-2023-richelieu-all-you-hear-is-noise-the-last-night-of-amore-one-night-with-adela), Pop Culture Review (https://popculturereviews.com/2023/06/09/tribeca-2023-perpetrator-and-richelieu/). The page should be moved permanently to "Richelieu". "Temporaries" should be noted as an English AKA title for the European territory.

- (Discuss) – Tension (Die Antwoord album) → Ten$ion – WP:TMRULES ("
When a name is almost never written except in a particular stylized form, use that form on Wikipedia
"). Sources consistently write this with stylized s as $. Additionally, this would be WP:NATDIS (albeit of a term that is already the WP:COMMONNAME) and is an easily distinguishable WP:SMALLDETAIL. SilverLocust 💬 16:41, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Amplifier → Electronic amplifier – 1) The article opens with the hatnote: This article is about electronic amplifiers... 2) Then begins with an immediate disambiguation: An amplifier, electronic amplifier, ... 3) It is the main article of Category:Electronic amplifiers 4) The category Category:Amplifiers is subdivided into the two subcats Category:Electronic amplifiers and Category:Mechanical amplifiers, the latter of which has its own main article.

- (Discuss) – Ariznavarra → Ariznabarra – The spelling with "b" is more common, even in Spanish (it's also the only spelling in official use). For example, the main local newspaper (El Correo, published in Spanish) uses "Ariznabarra" almost exclusively, with most uses of "Ariznavarra" being more than ten years old.

- (Discuss) – Fantasy Football League → Fantasy Football League (TV series) – The WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for "fantasy football league" is certainly the general concept of the "league" grouping used by the various forms of Fantasy football. The top google results for "Fantasy Football League" are for big sites like ESPN, NFL, Yahoo Sports, etc. that offer the ability to join a "fantasy football league". This TV show is named after that concept, as is another TV show The League. Fantasy football league might deserve its own article, or should redirect to Fantasy football or to a new disambiguation page that links to "league" sections within the Fantasy football article for each sport.

- (Discuss) – Template:Infobox Christian denomination → Template:Infobox religion – This is used on numerous religion articles that aren't Christian. There's nothing in the template that is specific to Christianity anyway. The templates "Infobox religion" and "Infobox Christian denomination" were merged after a discussion: Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2013 September 15#Template:Infobox religion, but for some reason they were merged to the narrower title.

- (Discuss) – That Girl Lay Lay → That Girl Lay Lay (TV series) – First proposed last year; no consensus. The main argument against this at that time was pageviews; however, over the last 6 months, the TV series is a clear second in this respect[6]. I'll again note that it's rather nonsensical for the TV series to be primary topic ahead of the person it's named for. 162 etc. (talk) 19:38, 27 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – MaterialWorks 23:17, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Moncton shootings → 2014 Moncton shootings – Vague titles; I propose to follow the style used by many articles in Category:Spree shootings in Canada, such as 2018 Toronto shooting and 2020 Nova Scotia attacks. 162 etc. (talk) 21:00, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Modern era → Modern history – I believe that this article should be moved to Modern history to be consistent with other titles such as Ancient history and Post-classical history. The ngrams show that modern history has been used throughout the last two hundred years while it looks like that both Modern period and Modern era only gained popularity only recently and all three terms seem to be about the same now. I would suggest moving to modern history for historical purposes. Interstellarity (talk) 20:54, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 2016 Bangladesh Championship League → 2015–16 Bangladesh Championship League – To fit the apparent formal title of this league season, following the naming pattern of other seasons in the league (i.e. 2014–15 Bangladesh Championship League). The proposed title is currently a redirect to the 2014-15 season, I guess based on the dates the season was actually played, but it's the only season in this league named that way. We can add hatnotes to solve the ambiguity with these two seasons. Please see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2023 August 9#2015–16 Bangladesh Championship League for more background.

- (Discuss) – Kingdom of Israel (united monarchy) → United Monarchy – The subject of this page is a postulated political entity most prevalently referred to in scholarship as the "United Monarchy". This term's prevalence in scholarship is demonstrated in a search of "Kingdom of Israel" and "United Monarchy" together in Google Scholar - which sees "United Monarchy" almost invariably come out on top in the title. Even imagining that "United Monarchy" is not the most prevalent term for the subject, it would still be a naturally disambiguated title, which, per WP:NCDAB, is preferred over a parenthetically disambiguated one (which is unconcise by its nature, as rather effectively exemplified here). "United Kingdom of Israel" is also a frequent term in scholarship, but if we compare the general usage of the two terms, "United Monarchy" comes out clearly on top in Ngrams.

- (Discuss) – Sudanese Revolution → Sudanese revolution – Per WP:NCCAPS and MOS:CAPS, we should not capitalize “revolution” if it’s not a proper name, like the American Revolution. This Google ngram shows that “Revolution” may have higher results than “revolution”, but according to MOS:CAPS:
only words and phrases that are consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources are capitalized in Wikipedia.
So, the title should be changed. 188.25.122.194 (talk) 18:07, 3 September 2023 (UTC) 188.25.122.194 (talk) 18:06, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Anbang (room) → Anchae – Would appreciate some input. Contrary to what's implied in the lead, I'm pretty sure that "anbang" is a main room inside an "anchae". An anchae is a complex in the house for women, which may/may not have just a single room, in which case it's the same as the anbang. See first sentence under 내용 here: [7] (my translation:
As the center of the anchae, the anbang is the most isolated living space in the house, as well as the most inner part of the house.
) The dilemma: Given that "anchae" is the broader category, should we rename this article accordingly and have a redir from "anbang" to "anchae"? I don't think they should have separate articles btw, not enough info about them independently. Also some notes: * "Anbang" is more well-known than "anchae", but they're not the same thing, so not sure if WP:COMMONNAME applies. * sarangbang/sarangchae is the male counterpart of this article. I just renamed sarangchae from "sarangbang", so ignore that article's title. I may change it based on the results of this discussion. **I just rewrote this article btw; may be helpful if you want some more context. * The kowiki article is called "anbang". toobigtokale (talk) 02:22, 27 August 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:38, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Ordinariate for Catholics of Armenian Rite in Romania → Ordinariate for Armenian Catholics resident in Romania – The most recent official documentation out of the Vatican refers to the jurisdiction as the Ordinariate for Armenian Catholics resident in Romania in English. See this 2020 press release from the Holy See Press Office. Additionally, note that the Romanian-language name for the jurisdiction is Ordinariatul Armeano-Catolic, which translates roughly to "Armenian Catholic Ordinariate". Specifically, the word "rite" in the name appears to be an innovation of a user-generated website. ~ Pbritti (talk) 18:45, 25 August 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 14:29, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 2023 Syrian protests → As-Suwayda Uprising (2023) – The focus of the media is the uprising in Syrian government-held areas, not the areas outside of Syrian government control. And the only major protest that is going on in Syrian government-held areas is the one is Suweida. The other protests in Syrian government-held areas are miniscule (dozens of people) as opposed to the 2000 people that are currently protesting in Suweida, In addition, the civil disobedience (shutting down of shops and Baath party government offices), is only happening in Suweida CatmanBw (talk) 11:22, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod → Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod – or Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod. The current use of an unspaced en dash in the title seems to be sending the wrong message here. It appears to be used in the sense of MOS:ENBETWEEN, i.e. it indicates an association or relationship between the "Lutheran Church" and the "Missouri Synod" as distinct separate entities. That, of course, is not the correct indication. What should be indicated is that the Missouri Synod is a part of the Lutheran Church. So there should be spaces around the en dash, like what would be used for the volume title of a multi-volume publication or the title of a work in a series (e.g. Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace or Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 1). Or it should be an em dash. As far as I can tell, the church itself does not use the current Wikipedia article title's punctuation; the church uses an unspaced em dash. An em dash, as used by the church, would convey a more appropriate indication. The lede section (e.g. the opening sentence) and infobox of the Wikipedia article actually follow the church's style rather than using the current article title. However, my impression is that Wikipedia ordinarily uses a spaced en dash in such situations, e.g. as in a MOS:LISTDASH (I don't know of any articles that use an unspaced em dash in their titles the way the church does it). This change should ideally affect various other articles – e.g. Eastern District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, other topics found in the prior RM discussion at Talk:Eastern District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod#Requested move 26 January 2019, Lutheran Church–Canada, and Evangelical Lutheran Church - Peru, but those could involve other issues, so it may be best to try to get an agreement about one article first. Some articles already use the suggested format; see Lutheran Ministerium and Synod – USA and Evangelical Lutheran Church – Synod of France and Belgium. See also the prior discussions at Talk:Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod#Consistent name format of Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, Talk:Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod/Archive 1#Uncategorized discussion and Talk:Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod/Archive 1#Official Name and Typography. — BarrelProof (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

The fact of the matter is MOS:JOBTITLES is unambiguously clear as to how this page title should be formatted ("justices" is a common noun when it's plural). How things are written in the Constitution of Australia (or any other country's constitution for that matter) does not override Wikipedia's own manual of style. If it did, we'd have nearly 200 different style rules we'd have to conform to. For comparison, look at some similar pages that are in compliance without any major controversy: #List of justices of the Supreme Court of Canada #List of justices of the Supreme Court of Ghana #List of justices of the Supreme Court of Japan #List of justices of the Supreme Court of Pakistan #List of justices of the Supreme Court of the Philippines #List of justices of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka #List of justices of the Supreme Court of the United States #List of justices of the Supreme Court of Zimbabwe Hopefully, this discussion can settle this issue for good.

Refocusing the article on the FoodTok community, with mention of some of the most notable food trends that actually made it to reliable sources (and things like Pink Sauce, which shockingly is nowhere to be seen here), would provide badly needed focus and structure.

- (Discuss) – Grand Duchy of Moscow → Principality of Moscow – We should rename this article for the following reasons:
#Principality of Moscow
is most probably the WP:COMMONNAME. The fact thatGrand Duchy of Moscow
has seen a steep rise in popularity in recent years can probably be heavily attributed to WP:CIRCULAR: the fact that this Wikipedia page has had the title "Grand Duchy of Moscow" since the mid-2000s. Compare historical trends in Google Ngram. Without this Wikipedia article influencing the Internet for the past 20 years, it's unlikely that "(Grand) Duchy of Moscow" would have seen such a steep rise in recent years. Compare howGrand Principality of Moscow
is not nearly as popular (one reason why the Requested move 18 January 2021 was rejected) asPrincipality of Moscow
, while "Duchy of Moscow" appears entirely dependent on "Grand Duchy of Moscow". # WP:CRITERIA Naturalness: Even if it unclear what the state's commonname is, there is no dispute that the associated title Prince of Moscow is the WP:COMMONNAME, far ahead ofGrand Prince of Moscow
,Grand Duke of Moscow
, orDuke of Moscow
. Check Ngrams. Per Naturalness, people should be able to associate the title with the state:The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles.
# WP:CRITERIA Consistency: Not only is Principality of Moscow consistent with Prince of Moscow, almost all closely related states are known as Rus' principalities (see also Category:Rus' principalities) in historiography, and they all follow the Principality of Fooland convention: Principality of Tver, Principality of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal, Principality of Ryazan, Principality of Smolensk, Principality of Murom, Principality of Beloozero, Principality of Yaroslavl, etc. (as noted above). The primary sources all use the same word as well: wikt:княжество knyazhestvo (see also knyaz), so there is no reason for the inconsistent translation "duchy". The fact that relatively late into its existence the last 3 princes of Moscow started calling themselves "grand prince of Moscow" is not that relevant, because those of Tver, Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal, Ryazan etc. would eventually also do so, and yet we just call their articles "Principality of X". Even if we all agree to change "Duchy" to "Principality", there is no reason why Moscow should be the only one with "Grand" in front of it (WP:UNDUE). Note also that the title "grand prince of Moscow" should not be confused with grand prince of Vladimir, which is a separate title only later acquired by the princes of Moscow. # WP:CRITERIA Concision: There is also no need to add the word "Grand" ifPrincipality of Moscow
suffices. This is another reason why the Requested move 18 January 2021 was rejected, because it included the unnecessary word "Grand". Cheers, Nederlandse Leeuw (talk) 17:40, 19 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. Lightoil (talk) 03:59, 2 September 2023 (UTC)

As a result I am now initiating a WP:RMCM process. The reason for reverting the article title back to its original title is as per WP:COMMONNAME this is the name that the building is known by. The owners of the building, Fremantle City Council, have called this building and complex, the Fremantle Arts Centre for the last two decades.[10] All the signage on the building and directional signage to the building states 'Fremantle Arts Centre'. A google search indicates that it is the name that the building is most commonly known by.

- (Discuss) – Slovak Social Democracy → Smer – On 30 August, @Completely Random Guy moved the page to Slovak Social Democracy. While I believe this was in good faith, it was a wrong move, as it completely fails all 5 criteria of WP:CRITERIA, and with completely the wrong reasoning. And why it was moved to Slovak Social Democracy, and not the expected Direction - Slovak Social Democracy I have no idea. The page must be moved. Before it's done however, I propose the page be moved to Smer instead of Direction - Social Democracy. I believe it should be so because; * A) it's more recognizable - anyone from Slovakia or Europe will be able to recognize the name more easily than "Direction" * B) it's what is used in English-language sources: Politico, The Guardian, Washington Post, Euronews, and it's the only way it's ever referred to in Slovak-language sources * C) it is not overly specific and detailed, while still being unmistakable and precise * D) it will completely eliminate the need for the unwieldy "Social Democracy" part of the name I believe this should apply to almost all non-English political party names, as is done with Irish political parties, but that is for another conversation. If you have any objections, please do leave a comment! Thanks! PS; Guy, they refer to themselves as "Slovak Social Democracy" as part of their political campaign. Their official name remains unchanged. Even their website domain only consists of strana-smer. Political campaigns should not affect Wikipedia's content. Please do more research before making such changes again. — Soggy Pandas (talk) 23:40, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Northwest Georgia (U.S.) → Northwest Georgia – These articles have confusing and inconsistent disambiguation. These should be moved to the base name, with hatnotes used to address ambiguity between the U.S. state and the country. In the first case, in spite of the previous RM consensus above, Northwest Georgia still redirects there, which is WP:MISPLACED and defeats the attempt at disambiguation. In the second case, the disambiguator is confusing in that it suggests there is a country named "Eastern Georgia" rather than describing a region of Georgia (country), and again Eastern Georgia is a misplaced redirect there. Most analogous titles are not disambiguated: *North Georgia, article on region of U.S. state, not disambiguated *South Georgia, island as primary topic, with hatnote to South Georgia (disambiguation) *East Georgia, does not exist *West Georgia, redirect to University of West Georgia, probably needs a hatnote *Northern Georgia, does not exist *Southern Georgia, does not exist *Eastern Georgia, misplaced redirect *Western Georgia, redirect to Georgia (country), may need reconsideration at WP:RFD *Northeast Georgia, article on region of U.S. state, not disambiguated *Northwest Georgia, misplaced redirect *Southeast Georgia, article on region of U.S. state, not disambiguated *Southwest Georgia, article on region of U.S. state, not disambiguated We should be consistent with how these are treated, and add/update hatnotes.

- (Discuss) – Battle of Donbas (2022–present) → Battle of Donbas (2022) – This article started out in a pretty reasonable state, after officials on both sides of the war announced a “Battle of Donbas” in spring-summer 2022. However, since then, the article has quietly, unreasonably ballooned in scope to cover every single thing that happens in the Donbas in the war from then on, despite there being zero sources that still call ongoing activities the “battle of (the) Donbas”, or the “battle for (the) Donbas” in a more than figurative way. To the contrary, I will prove in this nomination that reliable sources actually consider the “battle” - or “offensive” or whatever you want to call it - to have ended in late summer 2022, at some point after Russia captured the twin cities Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk and before Ukraine started its twin counteroffensives in the autumn of that year. There are not many sources to draw on here - mostly because the terminology “battle of Donbas” completely fell off in usage almost immediately after the announcements - but the ones that are available are pretty clear about the scope. AXIOS wrote in late August that the 2022 Kherson counteroffensive “likely marks the start of a third phase of the war, following Russia’s initial three-pronged assault and the grinding battle in the Donbas.”[5] The “battle in the donbas” is clearly considered to have ended as a “phase” of the war with the beginning of the counteroffensives. This is, in fact, the same grouping of events Wikipedia already uses to separate sections of the war at Russian invasion of Ukraine and Timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and this very wiki article calls it the “second phase” already. Military experts and commentators also use the terminology to describe a specific phase and offensive of the war which has since ended, rather than as all activity in Donbas since summer 2022. Rob Lee and Michael Kofman, writing for the Foreign Policy Research Institute in an article titled “How the Battle for the Donbas Shaped Ukraine’s Successes”, state: “Ukraine’s successes in Kherson and Kharkiv were largely a result of the losses it inflicted on the Russian military in the Battle for the Donbas in the spring and early summer.”[6] They describe the ending of the campaign, saying “Russia’s advances in the Donbas, from April to July, proved to be a pyrrhic victory, tactical successes at the expense of strategic vision. Russia expended valuable manpower and artillery ammunition, while Ukraine pursued a defense-in-depth strategy. By September, NATO arms deliveries had reduced Russia’s critical advantage in artillery and Moscow didn’t have sufficient forces or ammunition to hold the territory occupied, which set the stage for Ukraine’s successful offensives.”[6] The Institute for the Study of War also puts the ending roughly in Summer 2022, stating: “Russia lost the initiative in summer 2022 after its offensive in Donbas culminated.”[7] These bounds are a bit rough and imprecise, I admit, but we are covering an ongoing war, and the specifics are going to be a little bit blurry. My tentative proposal is to place the end date immediately before the beginning of Ukraine’s 2022 counteroffensives, but this is something that editors can decide in further discussion threads. I think from the evidence I’ve showed, it is clear that the campaign is not ongoing and did indeed end in mid-2022, and so should be moved. I should also note: This proposal is formatted as an RM, but will also necessitate a significant downsizing and rewriting of the article, with all out-of-scope material either transferred to higher-scope articles like Eastern Ukraine campaign or deleted if it’s already covered in relevant places. There will also need to be a lot of links removed from pages that will now be out of the scope of the article. I think this is a manageable amount of refactoring.

- (Discuss) – Moses, Notre Dame → Statue of Moses – Per WP:VAMOS, which says: "For portrait sculptures of individuals in public places the forms "Statue of Fred Foo", "Equestrian statue of Fred Foo" or "Bust of Fred Foo" are recommended, unless a form such as "Fred Foo Memorial" or "Monument to Fred Foo" is the WP:COMMONNAME. If further disambiguation is needed, because there is more than one sculpture of the same person with an article, then disambiguation by location rather than the sculptor is usually better. This may be done as either "Statue of Fred Foo (Chicago)" (typically preferred for North America) or "Statue of Fred Foo, Glasgow" (typically preferred elsewhere)." If editors feel additional disambiguation is required -- see Moses (Michelangelo) -- then perhaps Statue of Moses (University of Notre Dame). I think either would be an improvement over the current title. --Another Believer (Talk) 18:18, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – TERF → TERF (acronym) – It's hard to argue that when people mention the word "TERF", they're usually thinking of the acronym itself rather than the people they're describing.

- (Discuss) – Haemin (sunim) → ? – Disambiguation needed since haemin is a redirect to primary topic hemin, but being in transliterated Korean, this isn't helpful to most readers for understanding or disambiguating the subject at a glance. Haemin (Buddhist monk) in "<Name> (profession)" format would be preferable as a more descriptive disambiguation. An alternative is Haemin Sunim which would be WP:COMMONNAME per sources; this was the original title but the page was moved with MOS:JOBTITLE as rationale – to the best of my understanding, "Sunim" comes from 스님 (seunim, "bhikkhu"), and its usage here is as a polite suffix when addressing the person. It is different from the usual word for "bhikkhu", 승려, which makes the current page title somewhat awkward, akin to "<Name> (Venerable)" instead of "Venerable <Name>". — 2406:3003:2077:1E60:A3EF:7617:2021:2DE7 (talk) 00:48, 31 August 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – Kicks after the siren in Australian rules football → List of kicks after the siren in the VFL/AFL – It's been 7 years since I last suggested modifying this page to include only instances occurring in the VFL/AFL. I now think it's time to raise the point again, and push it more strongly. I'd love to get this article up to a 'good' standard or even somewhere near a featured list, but such a mission is impossible if the scope remains as it is currently. Think about it – right now the page purports to include every single instance from every single game played in the sport. It simply isn't feasible, and I would argue that apart from exceptional circumstances (grand finals, pitch invasions etc.), that any of these instances that occurred outside of the VFL/AFL aren't even making WP:EVENT (except for those in the AFLW, which is worthy of its own page and shouldn't be lumped in with the VFL/AFL). I propose removing all instances outside the VFL/AFL, moving the page name to reflect this change in scope (and the fact that the page is list-based), and improving the page up to the standard of a similar page such as List of VFL/AFL players to have scored a goal with their first kick.

- (Discuss) – Libyan civil war (2011) → 2011 Libyan uprising – This page should move to 2011 Libyan uprising, as a both naturally disambiguated (per WP:NCDAB) and descriptive title (per WP:NCE) that also finds prevalence in scholarship. While "civil war" is one descriptor for this event, the majoritarian language for this event is as a "revolution" or "uprising". As Ngrams shows, there are more results for "revolution" and "uprising" overall than for "civil war". Of these two near synonyms, the terminology of "uprising" specifically is the most effective for disambiguating the event from the earlier revolution in the 1960s, since the terminology of "Libyan uprising" is fairly unique to this event as a specific move against a perceived dictator/Arab Spring uprising. "2011 Libyan uprising" also appears to find slightly more prevalence in scholarship, at 314 hits in google scholar to 262 hits for "2011 Libyan revolution". If all of the different names for the event are plugged in together, you will also see that uprising or revolution generally emerges on top. But ultimately it is a choice, as this source notes, different sources and authors use all of the terms
“revolution,” “civil war ‚” and “uprisings” to capture different dimensions of the events unfolding in Libya from February to October 2011
. But per the points put forward above, I would suggest that 2011 Libyan uprising is the best choice. Iskandar323 (talk) 19:26, 16 August 2023 (UTC)— Relisting. —usernamekiran (talk) 22:08, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – 1960 Cork City Council election → 1960 Cork Corporation election – Prior to 2002, under the Local Government (Ireland) Act 1898, the local authority of the county boroughs was a county borough corporation, whose elected assembly was a city council, just as the local authority of municipal boroughs was a borough corporation, whose elected assembly was a borough council. Therefore, it is not incorrect to describe these as city council elections. However, there's an inconsistency in the titles of articles, with articles for older elections generally titled with reference to the corporation, rather than the council: *1920 Cork Corporation election *1897 Belfast Corporation election *1914 Belfast Corporation election *1920 Belfast Corporation election *1955 Belfast Corporation election *1967 Belfast Corporation election *1899 Dublin Corporation election *1901 Dublin Corporation election *1902 Dublin Corporation election *1905 Dublin Corporation election *1908 Dublin Corporation election *1911 Dublin Corporation election *1914 Dublin Corporation election *1920 Dublin Corporation election *1919 Sligo Corporation election In either case, there should be a consistent article title for these elections under the 1898 Act. Renaming in this way reflects the difference in local authority name effected by the 2001 Act, but if there's a consensus not to move these, then in the alternative we should move the other pages to be titled with reference to the city council (or borough council, in the case of 1919 Sligo).

- (Discuss) – Eto'o → Eto'o (surname) – With Eto'o to redirect to Samuel Eto'o. This is quite an easy situation as all three people with this surname are brothers in the same job, and let's just say one did a lot better than the other two. Samuel could be called one of the greatest players of all time (see his honours section) while his brothers seem to have made only a handful of appearances that were ever documented. For a similar logic, Cruyff redirects to Johan Cruyff despite the existence of Jordi Cruyff, who was good but nowhere near his pop. David Eto'o played three games for Cameroon but those were in the African Nations Championship, which is only for domestic-based players and therefore excludes Africa's best players; those three caps pale to Samuel's 118 at thirteen (!) international tournaments, which have earned Samuel global recognition and numerous references in books. On pageviews, Samuel has consistently had over 2,000 a day for the last 90 days despite being retired, while his brothers are consistently in double digits. Google Books for "Eto'o football" ("Eto'o" alone shows some chemical formula for some reason) only shows results for Samuel. Unknown Temptation (talk) 21:19, 10 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting.

- (Discuss) – C. Odumegwu Ojukwu → Emeka Ojukwu – This was originally moved to "C. Odumegwu Ojukwu" in 2010, as a user was under the impression that Ojukwu's full name is not often cited. But on looking at the sources, I couldn't find any that shortened his first name to simply "C." Most seemed to use either his full name "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu" or shortened it to "Emeka Ojukwu". I looked on Google Ngrams and found that these are the two most common cases of his name, with "Emeka Ojukwu" appearing to be the most common name.[20] As such, I propose moving this page to "Emeka Ojukwu", although I would also be in favour of the full name "Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu".

- (Discuss) – Insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir → Insurgency in Indian-administered Kashmir – Multiple issues related to clarity and POV.
Calling the area "Jammu and Kashmir," the name India has designated it, in wikivoice, gives undue weight to the Indian POV in a very controversial dispute. We do not call the Pakistani part of Kashmir "Free Kashmir" for the same reason.
Neutral sources refer to the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir as "Indian-administered Kashmir."[8]
The naming is extremely vague and confusing. "Jammu and Kashmir" can refer to multiple things - either the entire greater disputed region of Kashmir, or the name India gives to the part it controls.
But this is not where the confusion ends.
After 2019, when India dismembered Indian administered Kashmir, the entirety of which was known as state of Jammu and Kashmir, India created another much smaller territory with completely different boundaries called Jammu and Kashmir (Union territory).
Sources from before late 2019 calling it the "insurgency in Jammu and Kashmir" are referring to the territory of the state that spanned the entirety of Indian-administered Kashmir, not the new union territory with different boundaries. So, you can see how when one reads "Jammu and Kashmir" it can be vague and confusing even for those well informed about the region, let alone the average Wikipedia reader.

His views account for 99.55% of total views on pages with 'Julio Rodriguez' in the title. Also Google search results are almost exclusively about the baseball player and since he was named an All-Star this season further solidifies his notability.

- (Discuss) – The Buddha → Buddha – Procedural note: Previous The Buddha to Buddha move discussion was nearly a year ago and resulted in no consensus rather than overwhelming oppose and there's more to its rationale, so I'd like to reevaluate. The definite article in the title looks like hypercorrection. Firstly, in terms of WP:THE: "If the definite or indefinite article would be capitalized in running text, then include it at the beginning of the Wikipedia article name. Otherwise, do not". Here "the" is not an inseparable capitalized part of the proper name, as in The Crown, The New York Times or The Beatles. At the same time, whenever Buddha is mentioned, Siddhartha Gautama is typically assumed, making him WP:PRIMARYTOPIC - which is apparently why Buddha currently redirects to The Buddha rather than to Buddha (disambiguation). So confusion here is negligible, it's not the issue of crown vs The Crown mentioned there. As such, the argument from the previous move discussion that "the definite article "The" is required, and justified by the guideline WP:THE, to distinguish "The Buddha" from the broader concept of buddhas or buddahood" is miscalibrated optics. Secondly, major reference works have their entries at Buddha, rather than The Buddha: Encyclopedia Britannica, Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Cambridge Dictionary, etc. All this favors dropping "the" from the title.

- (Discuss) – Proton (Swiss company) → Proton (Internet company) –
Global Presence and Perception: While Proton is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland the services it offers cater to a global audience. Naming a company on Wikipedia based on its headquarters, especially when it is an international entity, may not be the most appropriate. A globally operating company like Proton should be identified by the nature of its business rather than its geographical location.
Comprehensive Representation: Referring to Proton merely as a "Swiss company" can be misleading for readers, as they may assume that its products and services are limited to Switzerland. On the contrary, the company offers a range of internet-based international services like Proton Mail, Proton VPN, and Proton Drive.
Consistency with Other Global Companies: global companies on Wikipedia are named according to the nature of their business or the industry they are part of, rather than their location. This ensures that readers have a clear idea of the company's main focus without potential biases associated with a specific location.
Brief conclusion: renaming the page to "Proton (Internet company)" would provide readers with a more accurate representation of the company's industry, scale, and global presence. 77.179.40.156 (talk) 11:58, 15 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. – MaterialWorks 18:23, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – Battle of the Svatove–Kreminna line → Luhansk Oblast campaign (October 2022–present) – As I brought up at § Name, again, "Battle of the Svatove–Kreminna line" is not a true WP:COMMONNAME. It is only really used by Wikipedia, the Institute for the Study of War, and a handful of war-watchers - and as has been mentioned multiple times on this talk page, the ISW is not consistent with this label, making it unclear whether they actually are trying to designate it as its own distinct battle.[a] Other sources in the article, like these [23][24] Ukrainian government sources, call it the "Kupyansk-Lyman direction", since Kupiansk is the goal of Russian forces in the area. Some of the best Western mainstream media coverage of the battle doesn't make any reference to a "line" [25] [26] and avoid giving it a definitive name at all, instead vaguely referring to a "northeastern front". Almost all of the few sources making reference to a battle on the "Svatove–Kreminna line" are quoting the ISW, who, as I've established, don't treat it as a definitive name either. The point is, the current name is not a common or established name for the battle outside of a few circles. Therefore, my proposal is to move the article to the more descriptive title of Luhansk Oblast campaign (October 2022–present). I'm basing this naming standard off the one commonly seen in the articles about the Syrian civil war, as I mentioned in earlier talk page discussions. It just objectively describes where - broadly interpreted - and when the battle is taking place, and avoids using niche terminology that seems to be only consistently used by Wikipedia itself. We don't even really explain what the "Svatove–Kreminna line" is in the article. Admittedly, there's one problem I can see with my proposed title, which is that the campaign is also taking part in some far east portions of Kharkiv Oblast, not just Luhansk Oblast. But I think that's okay, and less of a problem than us calling all of this fighting part of the "Svatove-Kreminna line" when a ton of the most significant fighting is simply not on that line. After all, we have an article called 2022 Kherson counteroffensive, when some of that fighting took place in Mykolaiv Oblast, because the main push was in Kherson. I'm open to suggestions for an alternative descriptive title, but I haven't been able to think of a better one myself. HappyWith (talk) 18:19, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

- (Discuss) – History of the Jews and Judaism in the Land of Israel → History of the Jews in Israel–Palestine – This page should move to a concise, precise and consistent title in accordance with all of its sister titles viewable at Template:Jews and Judaism sidebar (under the population tab), all of which follow a "History of the Jews in [insert modern geography]" format. The current page title is inconsistent on two counts: in its ostensible presentation of a double topic, i.e. "Jews and Judaism"; and in the use of the "Land of Israel" as a geographical descriptor. The first, the dual scope, is actually a misportrayal of the contents of the page, which is overwhelmingly about Jews and the history of communities, not Judaism, which receives barely a mention on the page after the 7th century. As for "Land of Israel", this is presumably being used to avoid the choice between Israel/Palestine, but it is a failure of precision given that "Land of Israel" is religious, not geographical terminology, and as a descriptor of space is hopelessly vague and imprecise (in the Biblical definitions including not just Israel-Palestine, but parts of Lebanon and Syria, which have separate pages (see links)). In contrast to this, it is hard to think of any particular reason to avoid the hyphenated Israel-Palestine, which works just fine, has inbuilt neutrality and unambiguously encompasses the actual geography in question.

- (Discuss) – W/2016Album/ → /2016Album/ – Revert the previous move, which seems to have been based on a misunderstanding - the article previously did display the correct title using DISPLAYTITLE, and now instead has to have a hatnote, which is plainly inferior. You can see this by looking at /2016Album/, showing the proper title in the header. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:55, 14 August 2023 (UTC) — Relisting. ❯❯❯ Raydann(Talk) 22:40, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- (Discuss) – William I (disambiguation) → William I – At present "William I" redirects to William the Conqueror, I would argue that this is anglocentric bias. Firstly, the sheer number of entries on this list should make us cautious about deciding that there is a primary topic. Secondly, we also have William I, German Emperor, under who the unification of Germany took place, plus important kings of the Netherlands and Scotland.

- (Discuss) – List of leaders of Georgia (country) → List of leaders of Georgia – Parenthetical disambiguation is inappropriate here, as the base name redirects here, signifying this article as the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC and that it should be moved to the base name per WP:MISPLACED. A WP:HATNOTE may be added to List of governors of Georgia (which itself is disambiguated with a similar topic related to country via a hatnote, rather than a parenthetical qualifier) for users seeking the leaders of the U.S. state; thus employing WP:NATURAL disambiguation and hatnotes rather than the less favorable parenthethical disambiguation (see WP:NCDAB).
