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: edit 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

Sine from Above (Lady Gaga and Elton John song) (currently a redirect to Sine from Above) → Sine from Above (move · discuss) – No need for extra disambiguation per WP:NCMDAB. AshMusique (talk) 16:58, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Noble House (disambiguation) (currently a redirect to Noble House) → Noble House (move · discuss) – Malplaced disambiguation page. Certes (talk) 14:56, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

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)[reply]

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

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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

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

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)[reply]

I don't understand why this is being contested. The relevant guideline is WP:NCPDAB (naming conventions for people including a disambiguating tag/parenthesis), which says "If possible, limit the tag to a single, recognizable and highly applicable term."

Clearly, criterion 4, "Conciseness – The title is no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish it from other subjects", applies, and arguably criteria 5 (consistency).

Also, since both subject's studied psychology not sociology, and there are two types of social psychology: social psychology, the only sub-field of psychology, and social psychology (sociology),a sub-field of sociology, the proposed titles are arguably less ambiguous as well as more concise, so criterion 3 (precision) also applies. Llew Mawr (talk) 15:43, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well I guess in that case, I can't think of any other reasons to oppose the move any more so am withdrawing my objections. Sakura Cartelet^Talk 17:25, 8 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

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)[reply]
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)[reply]
