Uncontroversial technical requests
Most requests should be placed below this heading.
- Salvador Dalí House Museum → Salvador Dalí House-Museum (currently a redirect back to Salvador Dalí House Museum) (move · discuss) – This is the correct form in English, like it can be seen by other house-museums in Wikipedia. Mistico Dois (talk) 16:41, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The main article on house museums is historic house museum. Wikipedia articles don't currently show a preference for "house-museum". SilverLocust 💬 18:59, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Matthew Chizhov → Matvey Chizhov (currently a redirect back to Matthew Chizhov) (move · discuss) – Unlike the contemporaneous master Fyodor Kamensky, Matvey Chizhov never worked in the US or the UK, so anglicizing his first name is certainly incorrect. Gleb95 (talk) 12:57, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The request is valid, but I wanted to point out that a search of modern web content on the artist shows predominant use of "Matthew" by not-so-reliable commentators. A more thorough Google Books search shows that "Matvey" is used more often by experts and historians. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:48, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Datu Patinggi Abang Haji Abdillah College → Kolej Abdillah (currently a redirect back to Datu Patinggi Abang Haji Abdillah College) (move · discuss) – Kolej Abdillah is the common name of the subject and should be used per WP:COMMONNAME, plus, the current title is too precise per WP:PRECISION 2001:448A:5063:3D40:6453:22C9:E842:2FFD (talk) 03:43, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I could be on board with changing to the native language version Kolej, since the English proper name appears to be made up by Wikipedia. But I'm not seeing very many sources calling it Kolej Abdillah. Where it's shortened in Web results and news sources, it looks like Kolej DPAH Abdillah is what's typically used. So suggest we maybe change to that. — Amakuru (talk) 06:08, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Inner West & Leppington Line → Leppington & Inner West Line (currently a redirect back to Inner West & Leppington Line) (move · discuss) – Line has been renamed per article and Transport for NSW Mounstreip (talk) 21:42, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- That's all well and good, but the conditions of WP:NAMECHANGES need to be met, in that a majority of sources should use the new name. In this case, it's not even clear that the official name has changed yet - TFNSW still use the present title in their main planning page for this line - [1] — Amakuru (talk) 06:37, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Auyl People's Democratic Patriotic Party → Auyl (currently a redirect back to Auyl People's Democratic Patriotic Party) (move · discuss) – The party has rebranded and is now simply called Auyl or Auyl Party. Also WP:COMMONNAME, since the party has been known simply as Auyl since its founding. PLATEL (talk) 08:42, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Shunga empire → Sunga dynasty (currently a redirect instead to Shunga Empire) (move · discuss) – "Sunga dynasty" is by far the WP:COMMONNAME rather than "empire"; see ngram. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 20:30, 5 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The New Revolution (roller coaster) → The New Revolution (currently a redirect instead to Layzie Bone) (move · discuss) – The article formerly occupying The New Revolution page has been recently changed to a redirect; additionally, the roller coaster page gets over 1,000 monthly pageviews while the old "The New Revolution" page got less than 200 average views monthly.

Contested technical requests
Do not insert new requests in this section. Only move requests here if the requested move has been contested.
- The Gulch, Nashville, Tennessee → The Gulch (Nashville) (currently a redirect back to The Gulch, Nashville, Tennessee) (move · discuss) – Consistency with The Gulch (Atlanta), both referring to neighborhoods in their respective cities. Technical because, I think, "The Gulch (Nashville)" already exists as a redirect page to "The Gulch, Nashville, Tennessee". ZLump (talk) 15:08, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Neighbourhoods in American cities should use comma disambiguation, not parentheses. See Alphabet City, Manhattan or SoDo, Seattle (or even Fairlie–Poplar, Atlanta.) The Gulch (Atlanta) is incorrect. 162 etc. (talk) 16:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Fair enough. Then they should probably both be changed, to "The Gulch, Nashville" and "The Gulch, Atlanta", respectively. ZLump (talk) 23:07, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Sanjna → Samjna (goddess) (currently a redirect back to Sanjna) (move · discuss) – more common transliteration of the name, evident by the usage in various sources of the article Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 06:06, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree that the title of the article should be fixed as requested, but I wonder if "goddess" is the proper disambiguator. The suggestion seems fine but there might be a guideline that I can't find. Meanwhile, this goddess could possibly receive the main Samjna namespace, which currently redirects to Samjna (concept), if the goddess is considered the primary topic. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:29, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Doomsdayer520, I did quick search on google books, and yeah, majority of results were about the goddess [2], though I don't know to determine primary in this case Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 17:54, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Rn, it would be best to move the article, turn the page Samjna into a disam Seyamar(245CMR)💬📜 18:22, 2 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I notice that the spelling in opening sentence of the article does not match the article title and was just changed by the nominator. What is the need for disambiguation? Is it for disambiguation with Samjna (concept)? There don't seem to be many other topics known by this name, and the spellings don't seem the same, and this topic has clear long-term notability. Examples of other topics are Vishnu and Shiva. We don't seem to feel the need to disambiguate those. — BarrelProof (talk) 16:50, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- If Samjna is the most common spelling of her name, I recommend that she get the main namespace with no need for disambiguation. Thanks to millennia of religious scripture she is clearly the primary topic, notwithstanding the spelling question. After a move, we can simply add a "see also Samjna (concept)" hatnote to the top of her article and a similar one in the other direction. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 18:53, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- @Seyamar Sounds like this needs further discussion. Please click on the discuss link in your request above to open a discussion on the article's talk page, and make sure to notify Talk:Samjna (concept). --Ahecht (TALK

- Keerikkadan Jose → Mohan Raj (currently a redirect back to Keerikkadan Jose) (move · discuss) – Mohan Raj is the official stage name. Keerikkadan Jose is a character name by which he is popularly referred by Malayalam audience, but he has also acted in other language films. Sources: [3], [4], [5], [6]. 117.230.50.67 (talk) 09:44, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Since this is in line with our WP:COMMONNAME rule, this isn't uncontroversial, so it's moved down here unless its evidence is are abound and revealed to us for proof! Intrisit (talk) 20:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Kadvi Square metro station → Kadbi Square metro station (move · discuss) – name correction 103.185.174.134 (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Gaddi Godam Square metro station → Gaddigodam Square metro station (move · discuss) – single word name 103.185.174.134 (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Zero Mile metro station → Zero Mile Freedom Park metro station (currently a redirect back to Zero Mile metro station) (move · discuss) – name correction 103.185.174.134 (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Chitar Oli Square metro station → Chitaroli Square metro station (move · discuss) – single word name 103.185.174.134 (talk) 14:15, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Is the "metro station" natural disambiguator truly necessary here? Zero Mile Freedom Park would be more WP:CONCISE. Bensci54 (talk) 16:05, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- The "metro station" suffix is consistent with other articles at Category:Nagpur Metro stations. 162 etc. (talk) 19:51, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- These aren't uncontroversial, so they're moved over here unless evidence for these are abound and revealed to us for proof! Intrisit (talk) 20:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- 4-way → Fourway (currently a redirect back to 4-way) (move · discuss) – As part of an uncontested merge proposal with Fourway, Virginia, a similarly tiny disambiguation page Mia a data witch! talk · contribs 09:44, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Oppose. Nothing at 4-way is known as "Fourway", and Fourway, Virginia is not known as "4-way". 162 etc. (talk) 16:32, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
