Uncontroversial technical requests
- Barney Circle → Hill East (currently a redirect instead to Neighborhoods in Washington, D.C.#Ward 7) (move · discuss) – Barney Circle is just the name of a specific traffic circle within the Hill East neighborhood in Washington, D.C. According to the Washington Post, Hill East is bordered between C Street NE to the north, the Anacostia River to the east and the south, and 13th Street NE and SE to the west, which the current Barney Circle article encompasses. ~ Dissident93 (talk) 02:17, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Cartoon Network (French TV channel) (currently a redirect to Cartoon Network (France)) → Cartoon Network (France) (move · discuss) – Per naming conventions Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:20, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Mvcg66b3r - which conventions? - the current naming scheme for each of these already appears to meet WP:NCTV, while I haven't checked all of these the top two appear to have been moved by you back in 2019 - has convention changed or is there another policy/guideline I'm missing? (The MTV channels appear to meet WP:NATDIS at least) ASUKITE 14:40, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- WP:NCBC you mean! WP:NCTV is for articles related to TV – and TV only – including TV seasons, TV series (as in series 1, series 2, etc... for British TV) and TV episodes. Yes, you're absolutely right when you stated that
This nominator used this same NCTV guideline to move the titles you're seeing to how they are now!
Until Number 57, Sammi Brie and by extension, Amakuru sought some specificity in the guideline, especially with "Disney Channel" articles, maybe it was the norm here until I forced the issue. So, the short of it is that realization which you're seeing in these title change nominations! Intrisit (talk) 18:41, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

- Cartoon Network (German TV channel) (currently a redirect to Cartoon Network (Germany)) → Cartoon Network (Germany) (move · discuss) – Per naming conventions Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:21, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Cartoon Network (Polish TV channel) (currently a redirect to Cartoon Network (Poland)) → Cartoon Network (Poland) (move · discuss) – Per naming conventions Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:22, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Cartoon Network (Portuguese TV channel) (currently a redirect to Cartoon Network (Portugal)) → Cartoon Network (Portugal) (move · discuss) – Per naming conventions Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- MTV Hits (Latin American TV channel) (currently a redirect to MTV Hits Latin America) → MTV Hits Latin America (move · discuss) – Per naming conventions Mvcg66b3r (talk) 20:44, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Artisanal fishing → Subsistence fishing (currently a redirect back to Artisanal fishing) (move · discuss) – More common name. Mast303 (talk) 00:31, 14 May 2025 (UTC) Mast303 (talk) 00:31, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- I'm attempting to verify this - ngram had a historical lead but has balanced out over time, clickstream was inconclusive & so are our pageviews ("Artisanal" has a strong-ish lead there) - not sure if it can be easily assessed as a common name ASUKITE 14:59, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Template:TV Stations Alaska (currently a redirect to Template:Alaska TV) → Template:Alaska TV (move · discuss) – Consistency with other templates Mvcg66b3r (talk) 03:46, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Chao Ratchabut Wongtawan Na Chiang Mai → Chao Ratchabut (Wongtawan Na Chiang Mai) (currently a redirect back to Chao Ratchabut Wongtawan Na Chiang Mai) (move · discuss) – "Chao Ratchabut" is an honorific title, and Wongtawan Na Chiang Mai is the individual's name. The use of parentheses helps clarify this distinction, aligning with naming conventions used for other historical figures in similar contexts. Inner789 (talk) 08:54, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Wikipedia does not, in general, use honorifics in page titles. Shouldn't the page title just be Wongtawan Na Chaing Mai? Bensci54 (talk) 17:39, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- It's not an honorific, but a royal/noble title. It is customary to refer to historical members of the Thai nobility by the form Noble Title (Personal Name), as the noble title is the name they are best known by. Compare with the existing article Chao Ratchabut (Mokfa Na Nan), or other nobility articles e.g. Phraya Rachasetthi (Chen Lian), Chaophraya Yommarat (Pan Sukhum), Chaophraya Bodindechanuchit (Arun Chatrakul). --Paul_012 (talk) 18:05, 14 May 2025 (UTC)
- Also, the page was created in 2013 at the requested title. It was moved without discussion in 2019 to Wongtawan na Chiengmai. It was only renamed to the current title today. Moving as requested will reverse all the undiscussed moves and bring the page back to its original title. --Paul_012 (talk) 18:09, 14 May 2025 (UTC)

Contested technical requests
- Nickelodeon (Pakistani TV channel) → Nickelodeon (Pakistan) (currently a redirect back to Nickelodeon (Pakistani TV channel)) (move · discuss) – Mvcg66b3r (talk) 19:37, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Oppose per WP:NCTV. 162 etc. (talk) 22:58, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Observations and explorations of Venus → Exploration of Venus (currently a redirect back to Observations and explorations of Venus) (move · discuss) – simpler, and for consistency with other "Exploration of <planet>" articles Artem.G (talk) 18:51, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- It's not just about exploration though, which would imply actually going there or sending a probe, it includes detail on purely Earth-based observation. I would change it to singular myself, Observation and exploration of Venus, but otherwise it's good, and if other planetary articles which include observation detail aren't of this format they probably should be. Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 21:52, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Well, I doubt it should include details on observation - it's not the same thing as spacecraft exploration, and it doesn't make a lot of sense to bundle it together. Observation is covered in the main Venus article, and if something is not there it can easily be moved. I think it's worth having a smaller, more focused article strictly on space probes. What do you think? Artem.G (talk) 06:39, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- @Artem.G If you want to do that, please propose a split on the talk page. Toadspike [Talk] 12:24, 13 May 2025 (UTC)

Cheers — Amakuru (talk) 21:52, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Further discussion should happen at talk, but I would support the move in RM. All similar articles include both exploration (space probes/landers) and observations (i.e. telescopes). The proposed title is consistent and concise, unless we want to reevaluate the titles of all such articles. Mdewman6 (talk) 19:46, 13 May 2025 (UTC)
- Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019 film) → Godzilla: King of the Monsters (move · discuss) – Godzilla, King of the Monsters! (1956 film) was moved to Godzilla, King of the Monsters!, therefore nullifying any excuse to have the term "2019 film" in the article title, so I've moved the disambiguation content to its own disambiguation page to make way for the film article to be moved to that spot. GojiraFan1954 (talk) 10:54, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Whether that distinctive punctuation is sufficient WP:SMALLDETAILS is debatable. Oppose. 162 etc. (talk) 16:08, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Double or Nothing (2025) → AEW Double or Nothing (2025) (move · discuss) – Move similar to TNA Lockdown or AEW Dynasty (2025). The number don't help with disambiguation, since there are also novels and movies called Double or Nothing. Also asking for the other events. Double or Nothing (2019) to AEW Double or Nothing (2019), Double or Nothing (2020) to AEW Double or Nothing (2020) , Double or Nothing (2021) to AEW Double or Nothing (2021) ,Double or Nothing (2022) to AEW Double or Nothing (2022) ,Double or Nothing (2023) to AEW Double or Nothing (2023) and Double or Nothing (2024) to AEW Double or Nothing (2024) HHH Pedrigree (talk) 11:00, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- I think 2025 AEW Double or Nothing might be a better title, in line with the usual format for annual sporting events. — Amakuru (talk) 09:42, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- I agree, WP:NATDIS as well. I think that's sufficient - @HHH Pedrigree -
both targets are redlinks, you should be able to move this yourself(missed that this was a list, I'm sure there are some swaps needed here aand I'm back - all are redlinks, you can in fact process all of them, so we shouldn't need to) ASUKITE 14:33, 7 May 2025 (UTC)- Oppose 2025 AEW Double or Nothing; as OP mentions, the date in parentheses is the format used for similar wrestling events. 162 etc. (talk) 18:35, 7 May 2025 (UTC)

- @HHH Pedrigree although it looks like anybody could move these, a discussion may still be ideal as such moves are now at risk of being reverted. ASUKITE 13:59, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- GGICO (Dubai Metro) → Al Garhoud (Dubai Metro) (currently a redirect instead to City Centre Deira (Dubai Metro)) (move · discuss) – Change of the metro station name to Al Garhoud from GGICO Bestgamer 229 (talk) 18:06, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Please cite sources.
- Also note that GGICO is unambiguous. Many of the articles at Category:Dubai Metro stations appear to have unnecessary disambiguation in their current titles. 162 etc. (talk) 21:14, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- DXAM-FM → DXAM (currently a redirect back to DXAM-FM) (move · discuss) – Callsign is held by only an FM station. It is not held by either AM or TV station. See FM listing and AM listing from NTC. SBKSPP (talk) 00:55, 6 May 2025 (UTC)
- Two things - firstly, DXAM has quite an extensive history and I think maybe needs a history merge with DXRR-AM. Secondly, the PDF for AM stations linked above mentions an AM station DXAM on the 1278 frequency. Overall I think the status quo may be fine. — Amakuru (talk) 09:48, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
- Sitaare Zameen Par (film) (currently a redirect to Sitaare Zameen Par) → Sitaare Zameen Par (move · discuss) – Sitaare Zameen Par is currently a redirect to List of programs broadcast by Sony Entertainment Television because there was a show by that name. However, the article about the show failed to meet WP:GNG, so an editor redirected it. I believe Sitaare Zameen Par (film) should be moved to Sitaare Zameen Par, since the TV series did not meet the notability guidelines. Media Mender 📬✍🏻 09:00, 8 May 2025 (UTC)
- I did a quick check and found there are two television series (special broadcast), one on Sony TV and the other one on Colors TV. Kindly see the links here 1, 2. Thanks for your consideration C1K98V (💬 ✒️ 📂) 09:37, 8 May 2025 (UTC)

- Gender-affirming surgery → Gender confirmation surgery (currently a redirect back to Gender-affirming surgery) (move · discuss) – This title reflects the terminology used both colloquially and in scholarly discourse. It is also the preferred language within the community and is consistently used in research publications and by major healthcare organizations. Elantrisadjusts (talk) 13:18, 9 May 2025 (UTC)
- This has previously went through 3 RMs in the past and thus would be controversial. Tenshi! (Talk page) 13:26, 9 May 2025 (UTC)

- Seicho-no-Ie (currently a redirect to Seicho-No-Ie) → Seicho-No-Ie (move · discuss) – The organization's official name in English, as seen on all of its websites, is Seicho-No-Ie rather than Seicho-no-Ie. Yenistardom (talk) 04:11, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
- I am contesting this. Article titles are based on treatment in reliable independent sources, and from a cursory search on Google Books, there appears to be lowercase treatment in reliable books. Left guide (talk) 06:08, 11 May 2025 (UTC)
