January 18, 2022

• Harrah's Entertainment → ? – (Discuss) – It appears this page should be renamed to something along the lines of Caesars Entertainment, as that was the name of the company that was acquired by Eldorado. I am not sure what the exact naming should be, but this was brought up on the talk page. Astros4477 (Talk) 01:45, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
• Sexual orientation and gender identity in military service → LGBT and military service – (Discuss) – In order to make the title more concise, without losing any precision. There isn't a huge amount of consistency among LGBT articles, but the use of LGBT for concision would align with a number of similar articles (e.g. religion and LGBT, Healthcare and the LGBT community). Xurizuri (talk) 00:12, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

January 17, 2022

• Alimineti Madhava Reddy Project → Srisailam Left Bank Canal – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME - Srisailam Left Bank Canal (widely used as recently as this week) vs Alimineti Madhava Reddy Project. I've preserved the capitalization as used in WP:RS — DaxServer (talk) 19:03, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Monkey Island (series) → Monkey Island – (Discuss) – The VG series is the far-and-away primary topic by pageviews (permalink). It's not even close, and is indisputably the page that most people are looking for when they type in "Monkey Island" to search. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC) _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:16, 10 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:57, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Monkey Island → Monkey Island (disambiguation)
• Bektashi Order → Bektashism – (Discuss) – Bektashism is much more suitable for this article as it is the WP:COMMONNAME now. See [Ngrams] QKIMK (talk) 15:08, 10 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 18:56, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• I Love NY (2015 film) → I Love New Year – (Discuss) – I am first requesting a move unprotection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection/Decrease#I Love NY (2015 film). I Love New Year is definitely the WP:COMMONNAME per the CBFC certificate and many sources and per Born2cycle's advice at Wikipedia:Move review/Log/2021 June#Konchem Ishtam Konchem Kashtam, and I Love N.Y. (1987 film) should simply be at I Love N.Y. (film). Neel.arunabh (talk) 18:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• October 2010 Arizona tornado outbreak → October 2010 Arizona tornado outbreak and hailstorm – (Discuss) – Article focuses relatively equally on these two events, plus the hailstorm was also very destructive. 108.58.9.194 (talk) 17:02, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• PFR → PFR (band) – (Discuss) – three letter acronyms require a high benchmark to make a PT. In this case running a "PFR is" test in Gbooks doesn't even register a blip for the Minneapolis Christian rock band. In ictu oculi (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
  • PFR (disambiguation) → PFR
• 2022 Abu Dhabi attack → 2022 drone attack on Abu Dhabi airport – (Discuss) – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. 103.95.80.173 (talk) 16:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• ClayFighter → ClayFighter (video game) – (Discuss) – Per WP:NCVGDAB guidelines. There is no obvious primary game in the series so the series article should be primary. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:48, 17 January 2022 (UTC) _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 14:48, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
  • ClayFighter (series) → ClayFighter
• 2021 Myanmar protests → 2021–2022 Myanmar conflict – (Discuss) – Are we still calling these massive clashes, airstrikes and military offensives simply “protests”? Jesus the date isn’t even up to date. 88.238.121.128 (talk) 13:29, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Intelcom Express → Intelcom – (Discuss) – Company name has changed to Intelcom Courier Canada Inc, as mentioned in the existing Wikipedia article. Considering the naming convention guidelines found on Wikipedia, the name should be shortened to Intelcom as a page name. Dbsanterre (talk) 12:58, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• The Boys (2019 TV series) → The Boys (TV series) – (Discuss) – WP:INCDAB states that In individual cases consensus may determine that a parenthetically disambiguated title that is still ambiguous has a primary topic, but the threshold for identifying a primary topic for such titles is higher than for a title without parenthetical disambiguation. I believe that this threshold is in this case easily met. The 2019 series is a critically acclaimed hit series, whereas The Boys (1993 TV series) is an obscure sitcom cancelled after 5 episodes which had no lasting cultural impact; sufficiently obscure that one of the first results when searching for it is a website called TV Obscurities. Yes, the 2019 series is ongoing so there is certainly some recency bias, but pageviews show that even at its lowest offseason pageviews dip it dominates with roughly a 1000:1 ratio. There is no chance that the 1993 series could ever come close to the 2019 series' popularity or significance, even long after the latter series ends.

• Charles McGee (Tuskegee Airman) → Charles McGee (pilot) – (Discuss) – As per WP:NCPDAB: The disambiguator is usually a noun indicating what the person is noted for being in their own right. In most cases, these nouns are standard, commonly used tags such as "(musician)" and "(politician)"... If possible, limit the tag to a single, recognizable and highly applicable term. Pilot is a standard tag that is more recognizable than Tuskeegee Airmen. Mozzie (talk) 10:25, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Janakpur → Janakpurdham – (Discuss) – Janakpur has officially been renamed as Janakpurdham. This is printed in Nepal Gazzate which makes the name official.[1] It's been so long that this name has not been endorsed by Wikipedia.[2][3] I request all of you to add your perception here. JayMithila (talk) 10:24, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Umpire Decision Review System → Decision Review System – (Discuss) – Decision Review System, or DRS, is the clear WP:COMMONNAME, nobody refers to it as UDRS anymore. It's also the name used by the ICC. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:16, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Diospyros discolor → Diospyros blancoi – (Discuss) – As previously discussed in Talk:Diospyros blancoi, the correct name is Diospyros blancoi A.DC.; Also see:Hung, Sheng-Feng; Roan, Su-Feng; Chang, Tsu-Liang; King, Hen-Biau; Chen, Iou-Zen (January 2016). "Analysis of aroma compounds and nutrient contents of mabolo (Diospyros blancoi A. DC.), an ethnobotanical fruit of Austronesian Taiwan". Journal of Food and Drug Analysis. 24 (1): 83–89. doi:10.1016/j.jfda.2015.08.004. and Morton, Julia F. (1987). Fruits of Warm Climates. Creative Resources Systems. ISBN 9780961018412.  OBSIDIAN†SOUL 09:30, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Bangalore Underworld → Bengaluru Underworld – (Discuss) – Official name as shown by CBFC certificate on trailer. The Times of India review uses the same name. DareshMohan (talk) 07:25, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• The Man Who Knew Infinity (film) → The Man Who Knew Infinity – (Discuss) – As shown by statistics of last 90 days, the film is viewed more than the novel. The novel must be disambiguated. If the film can't be primary, then perhaps create a dabpage using the base title. No opinions on each of their long-term significance. George Ho (talk) 05:21, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
  • The Man Who Knew Infinity → The Man Who Knew Infinity (novel)
• Quadriceps femoris muscle → Quadriceps – (Discuss) – Per WP:COMMONNAME, WP:CONCISE, and WP:CONSISTENT for consistency with similar articles that are titled by their common name such as Biceps and Triceps. Rreagan007 (talk) 02:50, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
• Kriti (disambiguation) → Kriti – (Discuss) – "Kriti" is also the Modern Greek name for the island of Crete, and that exact form is not infrequently used in English (in the botanical literature, for example, it appears to be ubiquitous). It is difficult to see a primary topic between the Carnatic musical form, the island, and the dozen or so other, less notable, entries on the dab page. I would like to note that Kriti is well-linked, so if this move request is successful, there will be around 140 links to fix [4]. – Uanfala (talk) 01:11, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Kriti → Kriti (musical composition)

January 16, 2022

• William & Mary Tribe → William & Mary Athletics – (Discuss) – This is the name indicated by William & Mary's editorial guide, which can be accessed at https://brand.wm.edu/index.php/editorial/ . 2600:8805:3800:1880:0:0:0:BA0A (talk) 22:59, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Event of Ghadir Khumm → Sermon at Ghadir Khumm – (Discuss) – The main reasons for this move request are for the sake of precision and consistency, as per the WP:CRITERIA guidelines. 'Event' is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a useful or precise descriptor. The event in question is a sermon following a congregational Friday prayer, as described in numerous sources, so I believe 'sermon' would be a more useful and appropriate descriptor. This would also be consistent with the titling of various other famous oratory episodes by religious and Islamic figures, including Jesus' famous "Sermon on the mount", as well as the "Sermon of Fadak", the "Sermon of Zaynab bint Ali in the court of Yazid" and the "Sermon of Ali ibn Husayn in Damascus". The best reason for keeping the existing 'Event of ...' format and descriptor, despite its vagueness, is the fact that it is the direct translation from Arabic. However, "event" has never been an essential part of the episode's common name. Many sources refer to it simply as "Ghadir Khumm". There is meanwhile plenty of precedent on Wikipedia for replacing a literal translation from the Arabic in Islamic primary sources into something a bit more encyclopedically useful on the platform. Take, for example, the article "Attack on Fatimah's house", which in the Arabic is literally "Rib fracture accident" - an extremely unhelpful title. The issue for Ghadir Khumm is not so extreme, but having "Event of ..." adds little to nothing to the title, while titling the page as Sermon at Ghadir Khumm would add considerably more precision.

• March 2010 Carolinas tornado outbreak → Tornado outbreak of March 28–29, 2010 – (Discuss) – The most destructive tornado touched down in the Bahamas, and it’s kinda split on impact, this is a better title as it doesn’t give one precedent as ir discusses them equally. 160.72.80.50 (talk) 21:02, 9 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:55, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Street Lights → Street Lights (film) – (Discuss) – Street Lights (the name of this page) should be a redirect to street light because it is the plural form (Street Lights → street light). Most people would want to be redirected there. This page should be renamed with (film). DareshMohan (talk) 22:54, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Pure (radio) → Pure (Belgian radio station) – (Discuss) – Ambiguous disambiguator with other items at Pure#Companies and products that are manufacturers of radio or radio stations (especially Pure FM (Portsmouth). The title Pure (radio) should probably point to the dabpage. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 22:39, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• CSS Governor Moore → Louisiana gunboat Governor Moore – (Discuss) – The CSS prefix is incorrect here, as the vessel never directly served under Confederate control, but was actually part of the military forces of the state of Louisiana. RS seem to most commonly refer to this as "Louisiana gunboat Governor Moore", "LSNS Governor Moore", and "Louisiana State Navy Ship Governor Moore". I'm somewhat indifferent as to which of those three is used, but the CSS prefix is not accurate. Hog Farm _Talk 19:39, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Yellowjackets → Yellowjackets (band) – (Discuss) – This band is not the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC for the term. "Yellowjackets" should redirect to Yellowjacket (disambiguation) – Muboshgu (talk) 17:34, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• 2021 United States Capitol attack → January 6 United States Capitol attack – (Discuss) – Per this discussion, which asked to hold a new vote on this move. The previous vote that proposed the change found that there was no consensus to move from 2021 to January 6, but did not preclude any further changes to that effect if something changed in the meantime, and anyway it tried to change two aspects of the title "storming -> attack; 2021 -> January 6". Another discussion was held in November, but it advocated a much shorter title. Szmenderowiecki (talk) 17:06, 8 January 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. -- Aervanath (talk) 16:38, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• The Amazing Spider-Man (1990 video game) → The Amazing Spider-Man (1990 Amiga video game) – (Discuss) – Proper disambiguation scheme per WP:NCVGDAB, due to the existence of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012 video game). The first game should be disambiguated by either Amiga or Commodore 64, I admit not knowing which to use so if anyone has a better suggestion I am all ears. _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:05, 1 January 2022 (UTC) _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 10:05, 1 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:08, 9 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Megan B.... ^{It’s all coming to me} till the end of time 15:11, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
  • The Amazing Spider-Man (handheld video game) → The Amazing Spider-Man (1990 Game Boy video game)
• Kats, Noord-Beveland → Kats – (Discuss) – The pages were moved without discussion by 162 etc. claiming WP:NOPRIMARY. Kats in Noord-Beveland is clearly a primary WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, because of point 2: longevity. Even a small village has long-term significance. All the other Kats are not particularly important, and have limited long-term significance KittenKlub (talk) 14:32, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
  • Kats → Kats (disambiguation)
• Rajasthani languages → Rajasthani language – (Discuss) – Rajasthani is considered as language by Govt of India and used in census of India in 2011 it's dialects like Marwari or Mewari don't have written form. Rajasthani is taught as a language at Universities and not it's dialects Marwari or Mewari Bharat0078 (talk) 11:54, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Template:Image-Poor-Quality → Template:ia-poor-quality – (Discuss) – Per the four similarly titled templates at Category:Image quality templates. ~~~~

• Danilo Pereira (footballer) → Danilo Pereira – (Discuss) – WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. There is no one else with the exact common name Danilo Pereira anyways, so Danilo Pereira (footballer) can be moved to Danilo Pereira, and Danilo Pereira can be changed to Danilo Pereira (disambiguation).

• Sardinia Nation → Sardigna Natzione Indipendentzia – (Discuss) – Translation not used in English language sources. Given the particular Sardinian connotation of the name (which is "Sardigna Natzione Indipendentzia", not just "Sardigna Natzione"), this should be reported in the original language. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 10:03, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• To the Left for Independence → A Manca pro s'Indipendèntzia – (Discuss) – Translation not used in English language sources. Given the particular Sardinian connotation of the name, this should be reported in the original language. Scia Della Cometa (talk) 09:44, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Labor Party Philippines → Workers and Peasants Party (Philippines) – (Discuss) – This is the preferred name of the party. Showiecz (talk) 03:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. — Coffee // have a ☕️ // beans // 09:43, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

• Volodymyr Zelensky → Volodymyr Zelenskyy – (Discuss) – This is the official spelling per the article's opening sentence.

• Bleiburg repatriations → Yugoslav Partisan pursuit of Nazi collaborators – (Discuss) – As discussed in multiple talk page sections above, this article title is accurate for a portion of the events described here, but it's not the most commonly referenced portion. What happened at the border at the hands of the British was not the most relevant aspect of the matter (and this was a documented talking point, that there was 'Western betrayal', but it's long been documented as meaningless), and the repatriations were merely the trigger for the next phase of the Partisan pursuit, which was the most notable aspect of the matter because of its brutality. I submit this descriptive title (per WP:NDESC) because it combines multiple aspects of the story while focusing on the most generic parts in order to inform a neutral reader (as opposed to various biased parties who like to soapbox about this) - that the Partisans and the Nazi collaborators were the two main protagonists (the British and the Red Army each played a role but a secondary one), and using the word pursuit (in Croatian this would be potjera) which focuses on the fact that there was a mass pursuit from around Zagreb to the northern borders of Yugoslavia, where the repatriations happened and then back into the latter (in some cases way further south than around Zagreb). I didn't find a concise way to describe the pursuit further because it was a complex evacuation including military and civilians and then a combination of a series of extrajudicial death marches, apprehensions into custody of a judicial system, and seemingly arbitrary releases as well as massacres in a large number of locations and large numbers of diverse people. I also didn't find a meaningful way to maintain the keyword Bleiburg, which is popular, but at the same time means very little to a neutral English reader. In preparation for this, I've gone over most if not all references in other articles to this one, and based my findings on the context found there. Most articles refer to the assorted killings in the death march back. In turn a fewer but significant number primarily talk about the mass flight of the NDH at the end of the war - some of these talk about cases where this was actually successful (cf. Pavelić, ratlines etc), and in turn some talk about cases where it wasn't and the subjects were later formally prosecuted (i.e. they weren't subject to summary executions that are the most popular topic). In turn a fewer number of articles refer specifically to the legacy in the controversial commemoration, and then some specifically discuss the repatriation aspect, or specifically the surrender, etc. -- Joy [shallot] (talk) 08:40, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
• Mya Thwin → Mother Sayamagyi – (Discuss) – Based on WP:NC, Mother Sayamagyi is the most common recognizable name and is quoted in all the reference sources in this article. In fact out of all of the source references, Mya Thwin was quoted in only one of the sources (Truth Must Triumph), and even in this source the name Mya Thwin was quoted only 12 times vs. more than 300 times for the name Sayamagyi when references were made to her). Mother Sayamagyi also fulfills all 5 criterias stipulated in WP:NC, whereas Mya Thwin only fulfills 2 criteria of Precision and Concision.

• VO language → VO word order – (Discuss) – As per user:Mike Cline's suggestion in Talk:Verb-initial word order#Requested move 26 December 2021, I propose this renaming for the sake of WP:TITLECON. I see that this exact move has been discussed on this talk page before; see the discussion Talk:VO language#Title from last year. user:Austronesier proposed moving all the word order-related pages in this manner. Nothing was done at last year's discussion because it wasn't formatted as a proper move request, so I am doing so now. ZeegoTheDeer (talk) 03:00, 16 January 2022 (UTC)

• Nijemo Kolo → Nijemo kolo – (Discuss) – This is the only remaining "Intangible Heritage of Croatia" article title with a capitalized common noun, namely "kolo", which should not be capitalized as can be seen in its own article.

• Prima (locomotive) → Alstom Prima – (Discuss) – As with the Bombardier TRAXX I feel like this page needs the manufacturer included within its name because otherwise people would be confused. Edgar Searle (talk) 23:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC) --Edgar Searle (talk) 23:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• The Local Church (affiliation) → Local churches (affiliation) – (Discuss) – The title of this page has been discussed at length[6], and a consensus developed around the title "Local churches (affiliation). The last move was made without discussion, but I'm unable to revert because the past page is now a redirect. Bfih24 (talk) 22:55, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• EAOP → Early Academic Outreach Program – (Discuss) – The official name of the program, "Early Academic Outreach Program", is not abbreviated. I can't move the page directly because "Early Academic Outreach Program" already redirects to EAOP. SimLibrarian (talk) 22:51, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Benjamin M. Flowers → Ben Flowers – (Discuss) – This is how the subject is more often referred to in public sources, in contrast to legal documents. See, for example, https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/ohio-solicitor-general-makes-anti-vax-case-supreme-court-remotely-n1287158 or https://legalnewsline.com/stories/511719193-jones-day-jones-day-s-ben-flowers-named-ohio-state-solicitor M$3yzG4E (talk) 18:52, 8 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:49, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Universal power → Universal power (Middle Ages) – (Discuss) – The expression "universal power" is vague. I feel giving the title a precision would not hurt and could avoid some erroneous hyperlinks in the long term. Moreover, a search on Google Scholar (see the search with the term 'emperor' added) and on Google Books indicate the expression "Universal power" is not WP:PRIMARYTOPIC at all. Veverve (talk) 19:57, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• 21 (Hunter Hayes EP) → 21 (EP) – (Discuss) – This page should be moved as the name disambiguation is not required. Yeehaw45 (talk) 18:03, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Natalie Sims → Natalie Lauren – (Discuss) – I suggest this page be moved and a disambig hatnote is provided for the one swimmer who also goes by "Natalie Sims" because of the evident difference in popularity. more people will be Google searching for the terms "Natalie Sims" and "Natalie Lauren" and will not be getting any hits because the singer is very rarely referred to by "Natalie Lauren".

• 14th Army involvement in Transnistria → Russian military presence in Transnistria – (Discuss) – As the article says, the 14th Army is disbanded since 1995. Therefore, the scope of this article would only be from 1990/1 to 1995. However, there is a big part of the article dedicated to the 14th Army's successor in Transnistria, the Operational Group of Russian Forces (OGRF), so this title is somewhat problematic. I don't think we need an article exclusively for the presence of the 14th Army in Transnistria anyway, I don't see it as notable enough, and it could also imply that the presence of the OGRF should be covered in a separate article. I think it would be better if we renamed this article to "Russian military presence in Transnistria" and expand its scope. However, from what I've seen, there are no similarly named articles on Wikipedia, so I am not sure what would the most appropriate name of this article be. By the way, I pretend to restrict this article's scope mainly to post-war presence, since Russian troops present in Transnistria during the war should be covered along Romanian advisors and Romanian and Ukrainian volunteers in Moldova and Transnistria in a separate article that for now is titled Foreign involvement in the Transnistria War in the conflict's navigation box. Noting this in the case that it is deemed important during the move discussion or for potential new move proposals. Super Ψ Dro 14:40, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Avengers (comics) → Avengers – (Discuss) – It is the primary topic and has the most long term significance. From the page views below you can see that it is the primary topic for "Avengers".
  Page Views
  *https://archive.today/ApHd4, includes all the links from the Avengers (disambiguation) page. A lot of these such as GAU-8 Avenger, Grumman TBF Avenger and Dodge Avenger don’t really count because of WP:PARTIAL. *https://archive.today/bEMyG, excludes most of the WP:PARTIAL matches apart from pages titled "The Avengers" such as The Avengers (TV series), "The Avenger" such as The Avenger (album) and "Avenger" such as Avenger (film). *https://archive.today/bl3uk, only includes pages titled "Avengers" such as Avengers (Marvel Cinematic Universe), Avengers (band) and Avengers (album). Note: Although The Avengers (2012 film) gets more views (possibly due to WP:RECENTISM), it doesn’t have as much long term significance as Avengers (comics).

• Tribune Media → Tribune Company – (Discuss) – I beleive this is the greater common name.

• Vučitrn → Vushtrri – (Discuss) – I propose that this article be renamed to 'Vushtrri' due to the fact that, not only is 'Vushtrri' the preferred and official name used by the government and the vast majority of people in Kosovo, but it is also the common name. Here are some Google Scholar results that prove this: * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Vushtrri%22&btnG= - "Vushtrri" 881 results. * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Vu%C4%8Ditrn%22&btnG= - "Vučitrn" 572 results. * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Vushtrri%22+%22Kosovo%22&oq=%22Vushtrri%22 - "Vushtrri" + "Kosovo" 874 results. * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Vu%C4%8Ditrn%22+%22Kosovo%22&btnG= - "Vučitrn" + "Kosovo" 476 results. Additionally, recent trends are also important in choosing the name of an article. Therefore, looking for searches since 2018 yields the following results: * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2018&q=%22Vushtrri%22&btnG= - "Vushtrri" 297 results. * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2018&q=%22Vu%C4%8Ditrn%22&btnG= - "Vučitrn" 132 results. * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2018&q=%22Vushtrri%22+%22Kosovo%22&btnG= - "Vushtrri" + "Kosovo" 295 results. * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2018&q=%22Vu%C4%8Ditrn%22+%22Kosovo%22&btnG= - "Vučitrn" + "Kosovo" 114 results. As can be observed, in recent trends, the form 'Vushtrri' has more than doubled 'Vučitrn'. It should also be noted that Vushtrri is more English-friendly, as the 'č' letter does not exist in the English alphabet. A variety of sources can also be cited that display a trend of governments and international organisations labelling it as 'Vushtrri', but in this case, the search results should be enough. Botushali (talk) 07:09, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
• Lipljan → Lipjan – (Discuss) – I am proposing that the current name of the article be changed to 'Lipjan' - despite the fact that the government of Kosovo and the vast majority of Kosovo's people refer to it as 'Lipjan', 'Lipjan' is also the common name. See the Google Scholar results below: * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=Lipjan&btnG= - "Lipjan" 1,400 results * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Lipljan%22&btnG= - "Lipljan" 988 results * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Lipjan%22+%22Kosovo%22&btnG= - "Lipjan" + "Kosovo" 1,320 results * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22Lipljan%22+%22Kosovo%22&btnG= - "Lipljan" + "Kosovo" 677 results Furthermore, an analysis of the Google Scholar results for the years since 2018 indicates the fact that 'Lipjan' is, by far, the common name: * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2018&q=%22Lipjan%22&btnG= - "Lipjan" 773 results * https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&as_ylo=2018&q=%22Lipljan%22&btnG= - "Lipljan" 153 results It is evidently clear that 'Lipjan' is the more suitable name as it is the most common. Arguments could also obviously be made based on the government and international organisations' use of 'Lipjan' over 'Lipljan', but when the Google Scholar results are so heavily skewed towards 'Lipjan' it really isn't that necessary.

• Mbombela → Nelspruit – (Discuss) – The WP:COMMONNAME appears to still be Nelspruit despite the 2009 renaming, per ngrams which shows that Nelspruit is used three times more than Mbombela, and per Google Scholar, which shows twice as many uses for Nelspruit since 2021 than it does for Mbombela.

• Ladyhawke (musician) → Ladyhawke – (Discuss) – I believe the musician is far more likely to be the primary topic over the disambiguation page. Looking at the pageviews, the musician received 4,405 pageviews over the last three weeks, which is an average of 210 a day (as seen here), compared to the disambiguation page, which received 656 pageviews during the same time period, an average of 31 a day (as seen here). Naturally, pageviews aren't the only thing which determine primary topics, but the comprehensive coverage of the subject within the article is indicative of her lasting influence and legacy when compared to other articles by this name.

Uprising is used by several major mainstream media sources: Reuters 6 Jan; CNN 6 Jan and the connotation is a bit more neutral than revolt.

• Mossi language → Mooré – (Discuss) – The language is not referred to as "Mossi" by any academic or scholarly source, nor is it referred to as "Mossi" by the native speakers of the language. There is no good reason to have the page named "Mossi" when its name is Mooré. This only adds to confusion when the only commonly used name for the language is Mooré. The argument that a language name in English should just match the ethnic group that speaks it is weak when the name is already commonly used. See the language of the Akan people for example, it is commonly referred to as "Twi" and it's wikipedia page is aptly named "Twi." The same should also be the case for the language of the Mossi people. By the Wiki naming guidelines articles should use the most commonly recognized name, and in this case it is "Mooré." No one who has even heard of the language would refer to it as "Mossi". 65sugg (talk) 22:18, 14 January 2022 (UTC)
• Execution of the Romanov family → Death of the Romanov family – (Discuss) – This nomination carries with it some of the experience gained from recent successful nominations Death of Osama bin Laden → Killing of Osama bin Laden at Talk:Killing of Osama bin Laden/Archive 5#Requested move 6 September 2020 and Death of Muammar Gaddafi → Killing of Muammar Gaddafi at Talk:Killing of Muammar Gaddafi#Requested move 18 September 2021 as well as the unsuccessful Death of Benito Mussolini → Killing of Benito Mussolini at Talk:Death of Benito Mussolini#Requested move 18 September 2021. The nominated header "Execution of..." is obviously unsatisfactory to a number of users, as evidenced by previous discussions on this talk page. There is clearly a difference between what happened at Trial of Saddam Hussein / Execution of Saddam Hussein and what happened to bin Laden, Gaddafi, Mussolini and the Romanov family. Based upon the discussion at Talk:Death of Benito Mussolini#Requested move 18 September 2021, Death of the Romanov family may have a greater probability of replacing the disliked Execution of the Romanov family than such other options as Assassination of the Romanov family, Killing of the Romanov family or Murder of the Romanov family. Having stated that, it should be noted that if consensus can be obtained for any among the latter three options, I would support each one. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 06:19, 6 January 2022 (UTC)— Relisting. -- Aervanath (talk) 20:37, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

Well, fast forward to today, and I think it's pretty clear that the 2019 film is the rightful primary topic, especially given the fact that it received 90,334 pageviews in the past 30 days while the 1956 film only received 7,723. While some editors in the previous RM argued that the exclamation point is not enough to distinguish the latter from the former, they seem to have overlooked the fact that there is a comma instead of a colon. If anything, the disambiguation page should be located at Godzilla King of the Monsters, without any punctuation marks. InfiniteNexus (talk) 05:16, 14 January 2022 (UTC)

• List of sites of interest in Boston → List of tourist attractions in Boston – (Discuss) – Per WP:NOTGUIDE, Wikipedia is not a travel guide, so the existence of these pages is questionable overall. However, if they're going to exist, we should try to define as well as possible what entries they should contain. "Sites of interest" is impossibly vague and subjective, whereas "tourist attractions" is at least characterized. It's more blunt and direct about what these places have in common. Therefore, I think it's a better title structure. Additionally, almost all similar pages for other cities, such as List of tourist attractions in Philadelphia and others in Category:Lists of tourist attractions by city, already use that structure, so this move could help us to standardize.

• 10 cm houfnice vz. 30 (howitzer) → 10 cm houfnice vz. 30 – (Discuss) – "Houfnice" means howitzer in Czech, so there's no possibility for existence of articles named "10 cm houfnice vz. 30 (cannon)" or "10 cm houfnice vz. 30 (anti-tank gun)". Also, articles about other Czechoslovak howitzers are just "[Calibre] cm houfnice vz. [Year]" (as they were designated in Czechoslovakia), without (howitzer). Same with articles about other Czechoslovak artillery. Also, there's no other article with "10 cm houfnice vz. 30" name (e.g. "10 cm houfnice vz. 30 (Czech rapper)"). Original title was "10 cm houfnice vz. 30", but in 2010 Petebutt moved it to "10 cm houfnice vz. 30 (Howitzer)" with the reason that "this is English wikipedia not Czech":[13]. I can't agree with such a reason, because if we'll apply such "English-centrist" standards to other artillery article, we'll move all articles about, for example, German artillery to names like "15 cm sFH 18 (heavy field howitzer)" or even "2.8 cm sPzB 41 (light anti-tank gun, for some reason designated as heavy anti-tank rifle)".

  Besides the fact that this particular character is from an objective POV, relatively obscure or borderline notable within the international pop culture zeitgeist, the title of this page being "Pudding (character)" is an incomplete disambiguation and does not follow the same convention as another character from the same video game franchise, Ulala (Space Channel 5).

However, "online game" does not seem like the best disambiguator, versus just "game" which succinctly distinguishes from the other Wordle (another name for a word cloud). It is also usually called a "word game", if we feel that simply "game" does not work for some reason. Cerebral726 (talk) 15:50, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

• Mohamed Sherif (footballer, born 1996) → Mohamed Sherif – (Discuss) – We have two football players from Egypt called Mohamed Sherif: *One born in 1993 and currently plays in a second-tier club in the Egyptian Second Division *Another one born in 1996 and plays for Al Ahly in the Egyptian Premier League The latter has gained huge notoriety and popularity during the last few years, for representing the Egypt national football team in the 2021 FIFA Arab Cup and the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, and for winning multiple competitions and earning more than one top goalscorer award with Al Ahly, including the domestic league and the CAF Champions League, and also for winning the bronze medal with the club at the 2020 FIFA Club World Cup, while the first one is now playing in the second-tier league in Egypt and has far less notoriety and popularity than the one born in 1996. As a result, and per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, I strongly suggest that Mohamed Sherif (footballer, born 1996) should be moved to Mohamed Sherif, while the current content located at Mohamed Sherif should be moved to Mohamed Sherif (footballer, born 1993).

• Hibiscus Coast Busway Station → Hibiscus Coast busway station – (Discuss) – There is a longstanding convention to use lower case for the "railway station" part of New Zealand railway stations. See, for example, Category:Railway stations in New Zealand. For that reason, Constellation Busway Station was moved to Constellation busway station with this diff, where the edit summary states: "lowercase per other New Zealand stations". The other stations on the Northern Busway remained untouched, though, and retain their upper cases. I've tried to get an informal discussion going to have this straightened out but the only comment received was that we have Britomart Transport Centre using upper case and the railway stations should be brought in line accordingly. While I agree with the upper case for Britomart (nothing wrong with a main station being an outlier, as a WP:COMMONNAME may well be different for it), I certainly do not agree that there is a realistic chance of changing the naming convention for New Zealand railway stations. This leaves us with the issue at heart – should there be consistency between railway stations and busway stations? I say yes. What do others think?

The common name is not Steelhead trout or Steelhead Trout which is supported by overwhelming google search, and ngram evidence. Additionally, the seminal work on Trout and Salmon of North America (2002), Robert Behnke uses Steelhead exclusively and makes no mention of Steelhead Trout or Steelhead trout Ngrams (Steelhead – trout), Steelhead Trout .

Even then many users had opposed the move. (See Talk:The Wire/Archive 1) The TV series was broadcasted then. Since then many new articles were created on this location and I believe a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC should be reassessed after 14 years. For now it should be redirected to the Disambiguation page Wire (disambiguation). The Wire (India) may also be a candidate for the Primary Topic, but I have not checked all the contenders.

• Annette Kellermann → Annette Kellerman – (Discuss) – per WP:COMMONNAME. This article was created in October 2004 as "Annette Kellerman" and remained under that main title header for 11 years until it was unilaterally moved in November 2015 to "Annette Kellermann". The original title should be restored, per WP:RETAIN, unless there is consensus for a move to "Kellermann" and such consensus is extremely unlikely to be obtained because the use of "Kellerman" is completely overwhelming. A hundred years ago, she was referenced as either "Kellermann" or "Kellerman" but, since then, it is entirely "Kellerman". Her father was violinist Frederick Kellerman, not Kellermann and her birth certificate lists her as "Kellerman", not "Kellermann". Furthermore, two biographies — 2005's The Original Million Dollar Mermaid: The Annette Kellerman Story and 2009's Mermaid Queen: The Spectacular True Story Of Annette Kellerman, Who Swam Her Way To Fame, Fortune & Swimsuit History! — both use "Kellerman" as does the 1952 biopic, Million Dollar Mermaid, with Esther Williams as Kellerman, as well as the 2016 documentary, The Original Mermaid The Amazing Story of ANNETTE KELLERMAN SUPERSTAR SUPERWOMAN. In her native Australia, there is the Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre. Her entries in all the reference books and databases use "Kellerman" — Encyclopedia Britannica, Encyclopedia Americana, Compton's Encyclopedia, World Book Encyclopedia, Encarta Encyclopedia and every other encyclopedia I've checked, along with British Film Institute, American Film Institute Catalog, Women Film Pioneers Project, IMDb, Turner Classic Movies, AllMovie, TVGuide, Find a Grave, etc. Finally, all the modern-day media references use "Kellerman" — her 1975 obituary in The New York Times, 2010 rediscovery of her 1913 starring film, a detailed BBC article in 2016 and many more. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 10:34, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
• Homosexuality and Judaism → Jewish views on homosexuality – (Discuss) – More precise title that matches the content of the article. The article does not cover the comparison of Jews with homosexuals (or homophobia with antisemitism), a common frame of reference since the nineteenth century, eg.: [18][19][20][21][22] connections between queer theory and Judaism([23][24] or various books by Daniel Boyarin), sociological research of people who are both gay and Jewish[25], the role of homosexuality in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (see pinkwashing), antisemitism in LGBT movements (for example, [26]), or other interconnections between homosexuality and Judaism. I do not think it would be possible or desirable to write an article that attempts to cover all these topics, only related in a very vague sense. "And" is discouraged in article titles especially when ambiguous, and the proposed title matches similar articles (see All pages with titles containing Jewish views).

• Transport for Wales Rail Limited → Transport for Wales Rail – (Discuss) – Transport for Wales Rail Limited is the current train operating company (ToC) for Wales. Transport for Wales Rail Services was the ToC operating from 2018 to 2021. Transport for Wales Rail redirects to the current ToC. It in turn has over 500 links from other articles, and most of them having taken a look are rightly intended to point to the current ToC. So my first reason is the first page move would help fix around 500 double re-directs. My second reason is that the second page move would align the name with that chosen for other former ToC's, e.g. Southeastern (train operating company 2006–2021). My third reason is it's just a whole lot neater - disambiguation isn't currently used or needed for the first page, so the page move isn't going to cause confusion, and the second page move will make things less confusing as it will be more obvious from the name what the article is about. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:30, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

• Dent, Cumbria → Dent, South Lakeland – (Discuss) – Per WP:PRECISE, Dent (fell) is also in Cumbria and I don't think this qualifies for WP:Partial disambiguation which is only rarely used as its use has been controversial. apart from a spike on 4 January the village appears to get less that 10x the views as the hill[[27]] which is likely to mean it doesn't qualify for partial disambiguation. Yes I agree readers are unlikely to know the district but firstly every place that is duplicated in a county has this issue such as Hutton Roof, South Lakeland v Hutton Roof, Eden, secondly WP:UKPLACE says to use ceremonial county such as Halling, Kent but then says "When further disambiguation is required, districts should be used" like Belmont, Sutton. Further disambiguation is needed in this case because there are multiple places in Cumbria called "Dent". When moved readers were taken to Dent#United Kingdom so readers could fine the right one quickly especially given the location of both places such as nearby towns were given. Note this article was originally at Dent (Lonsdale) until it was moved in 2008. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

• Utada Hikaru → Hikaru Utada – (Discuss) – As per WP:JTITLE. While "Utada Hikaru" was previously standard use in English, "Hikaru Utada" has become standard use in a number of contexts: *Professional usage on official websites, platforms and stores: Official website, Instagram, Spotify, iTunes, YouTube (宇多田ヒカル on Twitter but staff twitter mentions use "Hikaru Utada") *Professional usage in titles of works and performances: Hikaru Utada Laughter in the Dark Tour 2018, HIKARU UTADA Live TOP FAN PICKS2021, HIKARU UTADA EXHIBITION 2021 in Sony Store Hikaru Utada Live Sessions from Air Studios (this usage is consistent in Japanese language romaji and English language references, whereas "Utada Hikaru" was consistent in English and Japanese use 10-20 years ago) *Predominant use in English language news publications. A brief survey of English language articles between 2020 and 2022 18 sources using "Hikaru Utada" ([28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]), while seven used "Utada Hikaru" ([46][47][48][49][50][51][52]). Major sources that used "Hikaru Utada" include The Asahi Shimbun, The Japan Times, Paper, Billboard, and Forbes, while The Washington Post was the only major publication to use Utada Hikaru. This also remedies the consistency issue User:Hijiri88 raised last year on the talk page, where surname use on this page among the Utada family members is inconsistent (Utada Hikaru and Teruzane Utada). -- Prosperosity (talk) 05:57, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
• Alcatraz (disambiguation) → Alcatraz – (Discuss) – I believe in reading recent discussions (see RM 3 Jan 2022, RfD 20/27 Dec 2021), that there is no primary for the term "Alcatraz", mostly because it is alternately used to mean either the famous prison, the fort that predates it, the island they were built upon, or other topics. Editors should be avoiding use of this unclear shortcut, as evidenced by quite a few incoming links to the primary term which do not agree with the destination of the current redirect now pointing to the island article. Putting the disambiguation at primary will require some long overdue cleanup, but will prevent (via bot notifications) future use of this link as a lazy shortcut - ensuring readers get to the proper destination immediately. -- Netoholic @ 04:15, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

That title also lacks a colon where it should grammatically have one; 5→9: From Five to Nine makes more sense, but it isn't what any of those pages use. 2A00:23C7:5485:2C00:604A:E3ED:DF43:D48D (talk) 03:45, 12 January 2022 (UTC)
• Kanak Sprak → Kiezdeutsch – (Discuss) – Per the original article in German (and personal experience as a German speaker), Kanak Sprak has become less common. Kiezdeutsch is the more widely accepted term today. This is due to Kanak's history as an ethnic pejorative as well as the fact that this variety of German is sometimes spoken by individuals who would not be considered "Kanake." The German article is already titled Kiezdeutsch, reflecting this change in terminology. 73.208.165.57 (talk) 03:28, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

Google mainly appears to return the game but the programming language is the 1st result, Images appears to be split between the game and chimp and Books is split between the game and various uses. It seems likely that the game is the most common usage in terms of PT#1 if the chimp is known more often by his full name, by PT#2 the game may be the most significant usage but as a 3 word acronym its not clear it the game would be primary for the 3 word acronym when some of them may also have more long-term significance.

• Shooting of Amadou Diallo → Killing of Amadou Diallo – (Discuss) – Per WP:DEATHS. Diallo was fatally shot; the officers involved were found not guilty of murder, ruling out the "Murder of" title. Recent consensus at other RMs involving fatal shootings by police (Killing of Akai Gurley, Killing of Alex Nieto, Killing of Alton Sterling) has been to use "Killing of". 162 etc. (talk) 17:36, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

• War crimes during the final stages of the Sri Lankan Civil War → War crimes in the Sri Lankan Civil War – (Discuss) – Although much of the discussion of war crimes relates to the last months of the war, in fact war crimes were committed throughout the war (for example, the use of child soldiers by the LTTE). Some of this article's content, notably the Permanent Peoples' Tribunal section, already discusses war crimes that were committed earlier in the war, so the change in title would better fit the article's current scope. Use of "in" is consistent with other articles such as War crimes in the Tigray War or War crimes in the Kosovo War (t · c) buidhe 13:33, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
• Marvel Tales → Marvel Tales (comics) – (Discuss) – There are two other magazines that Marvel Tales can refer to, currently at Marvel Science Stories (which was titled Marvel Tales for part of its run) and Marvel Tales and Unusual Stories. I think there should be a dab page, and as none of these is clearly the primary topic the dab should be at Marvel Tales, not Marvel Tales (disambiguation), which is where it would have to go now.

• Prince Aimone, Duke of Apulia → Prince Aimone, Duke of Aosta (born 1967) – (Discuss) – Let's try this again because the current title of this article is surely unacceptable to both sides. Since the death of his father in June 2021, he has been styled as Duke of Aosta. He is listed on the page for that article and is referred to as such in major publications independent of him such as The Telegraph. We also refer to virtually all other pretenders with their titles in the article title. Richiepip (talk) 04:53, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
• 2006 Somali warlord offensive → Advance of the Islamic Courts Union – (Discuss) – I'm reversing and revising some of the non-consensus edits, vandalism, and suspicious edits of the banned sockpuppet 'AmirahBreen'. This article is one of the pages he edited. The article's scope was originally the advance of the Islamic Courts Union in Somalia occurred between May and December 2006. However, as of September 2020, several strange and confusing editions disfigured the text and the scope was changed to an offensive that took place between May and July 2006 against the Union of Islamic Courts by an alliance of warlords. On 19 December 2020 the title was also changed (without consensus) to "The rise of the Islamic Courts Union", a title totally absurd and incompatible with our policies and practices. Due to unfamiliarity with the editions, in June 2021, there was a requested move and the title was changed to "2006 Somali warlord offensive". As there was no debate regarding this scope change on the talk page, I restored the original version. I propose to return the original title 'Advancement of the Union of Islamic Courts', which is supported by sources (example 1, example 2, example 3]).

• King William's Town → Qonce – (Discuss) – It has been almost one year since South Africa renamed King William's Town to Qonce. Despite the fact that this name is in use by both media and local government, Wikipedia has not updated the listing. South African towns and cities have been renamed in the past and the Wikipedia article has changed without issue. https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/opinionista/2021-05-17-demolition-of-victoria-grounds-in-qonce-another-assault-on-the-eastern-capes-rich-history/ https://www.airbnb.com/qonce-south-africa/stays https://www.artefacts.co.za/main/Buildings/towndetframes.php?townid=49 https://www.news24.com/news24/southafrica/news/mans-death-sparks-fears-of-werewolf-stalking-eastern-cape-village-20211112 https://www.dispatchlive.co.za/news/2021-11-26-bail-bid-postponed-for-qonce-church-leader-accused-of-sexual-assault-human-trafficking/ https://www.goexpress.co.za/2021/11/26/blood-drive-to-help-two-youths/ https://www.foodformzansi.co.za/eastern-cape-horse-owners-in-dire-straits/ https://www.thesouthafrican.com/news/naked-body-of-woman-found-outside-qonce-with-bruises-and-stab-wounds/ https://www.heraldlive.co.za/news/2021-09-29-qonce-bank-evacuated-after-bomb-scare/ I have included a ton of sources to show that this name is in use throughout South African media. Saying "African media isn't trustworthy" is a bad argument. There is a wholehearted denial in response to these name changes by a certain section of the population. I'm writing this to defend against many bad faith arguments that are often raised to discredit these name changes. This article highlights why some people are angered by these name changes and why many of these names are rooted in colonialism and racism. This process is very similar to denazification or decommunization. https://mg.co.za/article/2018-09-21-00-change-the-names-to-rid-sa-of-its-colonial-apartheid-past/ Some South African cities and towns were renamed decades ago and still have the old names in article titles. It's time for Wikipedia to catch up to modern day South Africa and the people that live in the country. Apartheid ended in 1994 and the people of the country want names that reflect local languages or simply the names that were always used rather than embrace the names imposed by the apartheid regime.

• PATH (global health organization) → PATH (health organization) – (Discuss) – I feel as if the word "global" is unnecessary and makes the name too long, it would be better to shorten the article name a bit.

• Metro Transit (St. Louis) → Bi-State Development Agency – (Discuss) – Bi-State Development is the official operating name of the Metro Transit system. The current page's title is similar to Metrolink (St. Louis) which could be cause for confusion in finding information between the Metrolink service and the business that runs it. Bi-State is already referenced in the Metrolink page and re-directs here. Likewise, Bi-State administers other services in St. Louis like the Gateway Arch and the St. Louis Downtown Airport, both of which are separate from Bi-State's transit operations.

• Jackie (Elisa Fiorillo song) → Jackie (Billy Steinberg and Tom Kelly song) – (Discuss) – The original version by Elisa Fiorillo neither was successful nor did chart nor was released as a single. Should use songwriters' names instead if no one minds the length of the proposed title. Alternatively, Jackie (Blue Zone song) can be used, but the version also was less successful than later versions in Australasia.

• Garuda Indonesia Flight 708 → Garuda Indonesian Airways Flight 708 – (Discuss) – The name of the airline at the time was Garuda Indonesian Airways and not Garuda Indonesia.

• African-American candidates for President of the United States → African-American candidates for president of the United States – (Discuss) – I've already nominated the relevant categories a few weeks ago as seen here. My basic premise is that while the capitalization could be permissible within the scope of MOS:JOBTITLES (the noun phrase is not modified with an article), I contend that candidates inherently run for offices, not for titles. As the manual of style points out, titles may be capitalized, but offices are common nouns and should be lowercase. So in keeping with the spirit of MOS:JOBTITLES, I would recommend moving these pages accordingly. Woko Sapien (talk) 18:19, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• WWE Cruiserweight Championship (1996–2007) → WWE Cruiserweight Championship – (Discuss) – The other title has been deactivated and the name changed to NXT Cruiserweight Championship. The 1997-2007 disambiguator isn't needed. Just a note "for the other Cruiserweight title, see NXT CW title" works. --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 09:50, 10 January 2022 (UTC)

• 1912 World Hard Court Championships – Mixed Doubles → 1912 World Hard Court Championships – Mixed doubles – (Discuss) – These are a random sample of about 5000 page titles with over-capitalized sub-event subtitles, all of which are included by extension. To make tennis events internally consistent, and consistent with other sports (e.g. table tennis, badminton, bowls, etc.), and consistent with title and style guidelines, these subtitles should be changed from title case to sentence case, since things like "men's singles" and "women's doubles" are overwhelmingly more often lowercase in sources, in sentence context (most capped uses are in title and heading contexts).

The title should reflect that. The current title misleadingly equalises Karabakh (which includes Nagorno-Karabakh, Lowland Karabakh between the Kura and Aras rivers and Syunik) to Nagorno-Karabakh (which is geographical and political entity ) terms, making an impression as if Azerbaijan is restructuring "the whole thing", whereas in reality most of the former NKAO remains under Republic of Artsakh's control and Syunik is a current province of Republic of Armenia, hence Azerbaijan simply cannot restructure these. --Armatura (talk) 01:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC) --Armatura (talk) 01:52, 30 December 2021 (UTC) — Relisting. Colonestarrice (talk) 21:52, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
