Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

• To list a technical request: the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:

  {{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}

  This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
• If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
• If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Technical requests

Edit this section if you want to move a request from Uncontroversial to Contested.

Uncontroversial technical requests

• Noble House (book) (currently a redirect to Noble House (novel)) → Noble House (novel) (move · discuss) – Standard disambiguation. Opera hat (talk) 06:44, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
• – A faulty user page redirect issue. Flyer22 Frozen (talk) 22:05, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

Contested technical requests

• Characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe → List of Marvel Cinematic Universe characters (currently a redirect back to Characters of the Marvel Cinematic Universe) (move · discuss) – Correct article titles for list articles. Gonnym (talk) 20:30, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
  • This seems like it'd be very confusing for both List of Marvel Cinematic Universe members (current Characters of...) and Lists of Marvel Cinematic Universe cast members to be separate articles. The distinction is much clearer with the current set - Characters is obviously in-universe, cast member is obviously real-life. SnowFire (talk) 22:31, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
• John Drury (social psychologist) (currently a redirect to John Drury (psychologist)) → John Drury (psychologist) (move · discuss) – Further disambiguation not required. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 04:03, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

See below. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 04:10, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

• Wendy Wood (social psychologist) (currently a redirect to Wendy Wood (psychologist)) → Wendy Wood (psychologist) (move · discuss) – Further disambiguation not required. 207.161.86.162 (talk) 04:01, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Maybe, but there's no real need to move to article to new title as the current ones seem stable and (presumably) easy to find. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 04:10, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

@Sakura Cartelet: Is this view rooted in any of the five WP:CRITERIA?

207.161.86.162 (talk) 06:39, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

The same page says that the criteria are goals and not rules (my emphasis added). Which one of the criteria do you feel isn't being met and how much better would it be with the new name? Sakura Cartelet^Talk 14:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

• Indrajeet Patel → Indrajeet Patel (athlete) (currently a redirect instead to Indrajeet Patel (runner)) (move · discuss) – To remove confusion between him and a dead politician/minster of same name 2409:4063:4EA4:A2B9:5375:F793:223:4C27 (talk) 13:48, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

There's only one person with that name on Wikipedia currently so I'm not sure we really need to disambiguate him. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 14:08, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

• Indonesian Railway Company (currently a redirect to Kereta Api Indonesia) → Kereta Api Indonesia (move · discuss) – Redundant, without discussion, is not necessary corporate name in English, like Keretapi Tanah Melayu. Thanks in advance. 115.178.205.239 (talk) 13:22, 7 June 2020 (UTC)

  It was moved over 2 years ago so I don't think this qualifies as a Request to revert an undiscussed move but I have no opinion on the move. Note that this is not an objection just a note that it probably shouldn't be in this section. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:13, 8 June 2020 (UTC)
