Administrator instructions

For requested mergers, see Wikipedia:Proposed mergers. For removals, see Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. For page history mergers, see Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.

Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.

Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

10 October 2008

  • Aravane Rezai → Aravane Rezaï —(Discuss)— The move will re-instate the diacritic, which is accurate, appropriate, and in accordance with naming conventions and all other articles where diacritics are used. --Maedin\talk 18:26, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Contested: WP:PRIMARYUSAGE. I think a blockbuster that grossed $112m is more important than erotica. 87.113.103.202 (talk) 17:20, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
WP:PRIMARYUSAGE does not apply here because Twins (film) is already Not a primary page. See Talk:Twins (film) for more discussion. --Neo-Jay (talk) 17:55, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

9 October 2008

  • American Association of Blood Banks → AABB —(Discuss)— article was moved inappropriately to expand an acronym, but the name is no longer an acronym as explicitly cited in the article from the organization's own web page. It is now just a four letter name in capitals. The current location should obviously redirect to the correct location instead of being a disambiguation page. The article was formerly hatnoted for the other definition, which is an acronym. --SDY (talk) 01:41, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) — These are not lists of the asteroids, but of all numbered minor planets. 'Minor planet' is the technical term used by the International Astronomical Union. Not all minor planets are asteroids, and which are asteroids is a contentious issue, as the term is poorly defined. JPL/NASA say on their websites that the Kuiper Belt Objects, among others, are better called "minor planets" than "asteroids", and no-one would call Pluto an asteroid, despite the fact that it has been issued a minor-planet number and is on the list. The only reason I bring it up for discussion is because there are hundreds of sub-articles to be moved, which will require a bot. (Oh, and "SSSB" will not work either, as it excludes the dwarf planets, which are on the list, but includes the comets, which are not.) —kwami (talk) 03:16, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Azerbaijani people → Azeri people —(Discuss)— The subject of this Featured Article is the Azeri ethnic group, but the title refers to inhabitants of Azerbaijan, some of whom are not Azeri. Also, half of Azeris live not in Azerbaijan but in Iran. --kwami (talk) 01:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC) kwami (talk) 01:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

8 October 2008

  • D-Day → D-Day (military term) —(Discuss)— Judging from the titles of the articles that link to D-Day (hundreds of them), nearly all of them mean the day of the Normandy Landings. It would make sense for the link to D-Day to take them directly to where they expect to go, not to an article on the generic meaning of the term "D-Day". I therefore propose renaming this article to "D-Day (military term)", making [[D-Day]] a redirect to Normandy Landings and adding a link back to [[D-Day (military term)]] from a hatnote on [[Normandy Landings]]. --Colonies Chris (talk) 22:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have made another proposal to rename this "natural born citizen", to reflect how it is written in the U.S. Constitution. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 01:06, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • List of Canadians of Asian ancestry → Asian Canadian —(Discuss)— I am requesting a full move. I want the article to be about Asian Canadians in general just like the Asian American Article and the Asian Australian Article. I also want to remove the list of asian names and put them in a separate article. --Sonic99 (talk) 02:14, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

7 October 2008

  • SS Komagata Maru → Komagata Maru —(Discuss)— The move is necessary to eliminate duplication of pages and to provide for the proper nomenclature for the ship's name. At present the details concerning the ship, Komagata Maru, are under "SS Komagata Maru." As has been noted on that page, the proper nomenclature should be "Komagata Maru." (See also Japanese ship naming conventions.) A "Komagata Maru" page already exists, which is a redirect to the "SS Komagata Maru" page. The move would eliminate the duplication of pages. --Macman1956 (talk) 04:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Ambitionz az a Ridah → Ambitionz Az a Ridah —(Discuss)— Normally, "as" or any variation thereof is not capitalized, but, as incorrect as it may be, it is capitalized for the title of this song. Everytime I try to change the page, Sesshomaru acuses me of vandalising the page, a page I created myself, without attempting to discuss the topic on the talk page. --Wakamusha (talk) 00:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

6 October 2008

  • Right → Rights — (Discuss) — target name is currently a redirect to current name; very old consensus on talk page suggested this move, but it never happened — Pfhorrest (talk) 08:12, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion has resumed. — Twas Now ( talk • contribs • e-mail ) 20:00, 4 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
1 - Controversial. Use of Soviet nomenclature has been the subject of at least six lengthy Milhist debates raising POV and OR issues.
4 - Needs discussion about new proposed name.
--ROGER DAVIES talk 05:33, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Backlog

Move dated sections here after five days have passed (May 18 or older).

  • Israeli navy → Israel Navy —(Discuss)— See talk page (#Name of this article) - no objections for move for a month. Also in line with other major Israeli security forces units like Israel Defense Forces, Israel Police and Israel Prison Service. --Ynhockey (Talk) 17:27, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
