Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For information on retitling files, categories, and other items, see § When not to use this page.

Before moving a page or requesting a move, please review the article titling policy and the guidelines on primary topics.

Any autoconfirmed user can move a page using the "Move" option in the editing toolbar; see how to move a page for more information. If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. In such cases, see § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are typically processed after seven days. If consensus supports the move at or after this time, a reviewer will perform it. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time, or closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

Uncontroversial requests

If there has been any past debate about the best title for the page, or if anyone could reasonably disagree with the move, then treat it as controversial. Otherwise, post your request in the sub-section Current requests immediately below this section. If the page has recently been moved without discussion, then you may revert the move (although this is not necessary) and initiate a discussion of the move on the talk page of the article. (See also: Wikipedia:BOLD, revert, discuss cycle.) If this reversion requires administrator assistance, it is also eligible to be listed here. When listing this kind of request, please include a link showing that you have attempted to discuss the page move first.

If the move you are suggesting is uncontroversial (e.g. spelling and capitalization), please feel free to move the page yourself. If you cannot move the page yourself, then request it below. Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require assistance from an administrator or confirmed user.

If the only obstacle to an uncontroversial move is a navigation aid (e.g., a redirect or an unnecessary disambiguation page with a minor edit history), the template {{db-move}} can be used instead to have that page deleted under criterion for speedy deletion G6. Note that this template requires two parameters: {{db-move|page to be moved here|reason for move}}.

Otherwise list new uncontroversial requests at the bottom of the the sub-section "Current requests" immediately below this section using {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} (rather than copying other entries). The template will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed in Current requests, please re-list it in the Contested requests section below.

  • (Discuss) – Lee Chae-yeon → Chae Yeon – The article currently titled "Lee Chae-yeon" refers to Lee Jin-sook, better known as Chae Yeon (not Lee Chae-yeon). The current title can cause confusion with another singer named Lee Chae-yeon (born 2000). Moving the page to "Chae Yeon" would better reflect reliable sources and naming conventions.

  • (Discuss) – Genderism → Genderism (disambiguation) – Move Genderism to Genderism (disambiguation) so that Genderism can be redirected (as a tagged non-neutral term redirect) to Anti-gender movement#Terminology as a WP:PTOPIC primary redirect for most commonly used application of the term per WP:PT1 on usage, that is predominantly used as a pejorative used by the Anti-gender movement, alongside "gender ideology" and other dog-whistle terms. Note that there are no incoming links to Genderism, given its non-neutral nature to begin with, which only serves as a search term. Most people looking for Genderism are looking for the reference to the anti-gender movement. Refer to Wikinav: Genderism, which shows most people searching for Genderism and landing on the DAB page are looking for the anti-gender movement and go there at > 65%. No one in the past two months actually went to the other alternative term of Cisgenderism or Sexism, which is the 3rd term listed at the DAB page, (which used to have a hatnote for "distinguish from", so it is a bit of a contradiction for the DAB page to then point back to right there), so it arguably seems to have no disambiguating value seeking by users either, but we could keep it on the parenthetical DAB page just for the historic context, or alternatively if we say that that usage of the term is even farther away than the gender binary 1970s-2000 use of the term, we may otherwise have a WP:2DAB situation, and would just have a hat note at the new redirect target at Anti-gender movement#Terminology to point to the second older historic application of Cisgenderism use of the term. Some sources on the history context on how the term evolved from its neutral origin used in science, to the now predominant use linked to the anti-gender movement and general discussion of the topic (there are of course tons more sources, but I figured picking out at least some for users who may come here without context, it may be helpful).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] Small sidenote:[a][b] Raladic (talk) 05:29, 30 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 06:15, 6 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Charles "Charlie" White → Charles White (entertainer) – Per WP:NICKNAME avoid adding [...] a contracted version of the original given name(s), in quotes or parentheses between first and last name. Further, there is no obvious commonname here, as the article lead provided two variants of Charles: "Charlie" or "Charley", thus we should simply use his given name.

  • (Discuss) – Russian invasion of Ukraine → Russia–Ukraine war – Sources almost universally describe the current conflict as a war. The word "invasion" is used only in reference to Russia's initial 24 February act of invasion, and is not used to describe the current war, three years long. [8][9][10][11] are all from just today; all describe the current conflict as a war. To those sources that call it a three-year-long invasion, we must consider Wikipedia's influence on the matter, which artificially inflates the percentage of sources using such framework. This article calls the conflict a war consistently (e.g. The direct cost of the war for Russia has been over US$450 billion.) This distinction between an invasion and a war has historical precedent. German invasion of the Soviet Union redirects to Operation Barbarossa, not to Eastern Front (World War II), even though Germany was still advancing for almost a year after the German invasion of Russia occurred.
    The main obstacle in moving this article to a page with "war" in it is the existence of the article Russo-Ukrainian War. However, it is hardly community consensus that keeps the page at that title. The article remained at the title Russian military intervention in Ukraine (2014–present) for six years before an RM, opened by a blocked sock and with low participation, found consensus to move in June 2020. Immediately after it was closed, a large number of editors voiced salient concerns about the new title that, had they commented in the discussion, would have resulted in the page not being moved. These include I suppose this (and even previous) title is wrong. If to refer to Google search, then Russo-Ukrainian conflict has 100x more hits than both. from Infovarius, followed by agreement below from other editors.
    Sources almost universally refer to the state of affairs since 2014 as a conflict – even many that describe a three-year invasion. The archives of Talk:Russo-Ukrainian War are full of editors complaining about how the title is wrong, and though the ECR means they have no voice on this topic, the complaint should be heard. We have spent three years ignoring sources and misleading readers. Let's get back on track with our policies.
    On "Russo-Ukrainian" vs. "Russia–Ukraine", the former is consistent with names entrenched in historical literature (e.g. Franco-Prussian War) while the second is consistent with contemporary names for conflicts (e.g. Iran–Israel war). The absolute common name is "Ukraine war" or "war in Ukraine", but both are ambiguous, and per WP:NATDIS, this still-common name (used in the Al Jazeera header among other news outlets) should prevail, outnumbering "Russo-Ukrainian war" by upwards of an order of magnitude.
    On "War" vs. "war", the word is not consistently capitalized in sources, per NCCAPS. It is not usually capitalized in sources, per MILTERMS. It is, in fact, very rarely capitalized in sources, as it doesn't yet represent a proper name, but a descriptive name for the conflict.
    TL;DR: Let's do what Wikipedia does best and choose the common name for these two articles.

  • (Discuss) – Villawood → Villawood, New South Wales – The previous discussion noted that there is an existing disambiguation page for Villawood, however it was determined that the suburb is the WP:PTOPIC. However, this is not reflected in the page view statistics. These indicate the Villawood Immigration Detention Centre (IDC) receives significantly more traffic.[12][13] Furthermore, searches of Trove (since 1990) indicate that the facility has been frequently referred to as just "Villawood" by many National publications for several decades. [14][15][16][17]. Searching the term in Google news also returns many articles that are referring to happenings in the suburb "Villawood", however these are overwhelmingly from Sydney-based media oulets. It also returns many articles about the IDC from national and international sources. Given the above, WP:PT1 would suggest as that name recognition of Villawood is much higher for the detention centre over the suburb to readers outside of Sydney, so the disambiguation page is a more appropriate target and this page should be moved back to Villawood, New South Wales.

  • (Discuss) – Devin Moore (murderer) → ? – Fairly clear case of WP:BIO1E. The shooting was more impactful, with no notability for Moore after his conviction. I'd be in favor of rendering the page either a more detailed event article on the three murders (something like "Murders of Arnold Strickland, James Crump and Leslie Mealer" or "2003 murders of Fayette police employees" or just "2003 Fayette shooting", in line with other police killing articles) or simply merging it into the existing Strickland v. Sony, which currently lacks details on the killings themselves, not even containing the victims' names.

  • (Discuss) – Michael Andregg → Michael Murphy Andregg – The current title “Michael Andregg” risks conflation with a different individual named Michael Andregg, who does not have a Wikipedia article but appears in search engine results and AI-generated knowledge panels. Google’s AI summaries are already merging content from both individuals due to the ambiguous title. The subject of this article is cited in multiple reliable sources as “Michael Murphy Andregg,” his full legal name. Using the full name in the article title would: * Align with published usage in academic and governmental references * Preserve clear disambiguation from others with similar names * Reduce misattribution and confusion caused by AI tools that scrape Wikipedia Wikipedia’s policy favors common names, but not at the expense of ambiguity. This is a case where omitting the middle name causes significant, demonstrable confusion. I propose renaming the article to “Michael Murphy Andregg” to correct this and maintain factual clarity.

  • (Discuss) – Suicide by pilot → Aircraft-assisted suicide – Based on the previous move request that reached no concensus, this title should best balance the opinions provided as follows: (1) everybody agreed on that the title should contain suicide (2) regarding aircraft-assisted vs by aircraft, the former is supported by the research literature as the scientific term and best fulfills WP:PRECISION requirements, and (3) not including by pilot, the title allows to include also suicides by hijackers etc. IlkkaP (talk) 16:27, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Challenge League (Switzerland) → Swiss Challenge League – Although the official title of the league is simply "Challenge League", the previous title "Swiss Challenge League" aligns better with Wikipedia's naming conventions like WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NCDAB. * The top-tier league remains titled Swiss Super League, making "Swiss Challenge League" more consistent within the national football context. * Many secondary or less internationally prominent leagues use country disambiguation (e.g., Belgian Pro League, Malaysian Super League) to avoid confusion. * "Challenge League (Switzerland)" is awkward and overly formal — this format is typically reserved for topics that require parenthetical disambiguation. This page was moved in May 2025 via a request, but I believe consensus should be revisited in light of broader naming patterns and recognizability. Oberyn42 (talk) 14:43, 4 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Meghna Division → Comilla Division – I propose that the page. On 17 December 2024, the Public Administration Reform Commission of the interim government officially recommended naming the new administrative division “Comilla Division,” page 191 and this has become the de facto designation. Sheikh Hasina’s original proposal to name the division “Meghna Division” is no longer under consideration following her ouster. Since “Meghna Division” no longer reflects the current official nomenclature, retitling the article will ensure accuracy and consistency with government usage.

  • (Discuss) – On conducting a special military operation → Speech by Vladimir Putin regarding the start of the invasion of Ukraine – The background to this is in the section above, but here is an account of the issue. The question of making the move was raised by NikitaIsNext05, and on checking I found that I agreed with their concerns. Freedoxm has stated that he disagrees, but has so far not said why. There are, it seems to me, two issues: the title has no official status, apparently having been invented for this Wikipedia article, and it is not a helpful or informative title. I shall deal with each of those points. * "On conducting a special military operation" is not used as a title for the speech in any significant or reliable source, including the official Russian government publication of the speech. The speech on the Russian government website is titled "Обращение Президента Российской Федерации"; the English version on the Russian government web site is titled "Address by the President of the Russian Federation", which is also how Google translates the Russian title. (Those two versions are respectively at http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67843 and http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/67843.) "On conducting a special military operation" is a quote from the speech, but I have searched extensively, and the use of it as a title for the speech has, as far as I can see, been invented by a Wikipedia editor. I have not found any example anywhere of use of the Russian version as a title, and its use in English is largely restricted to wikis and similar sites, all of which have either certainly or probably derived it from this Wikipedia article. * The title "On conducting a special military operation" is not helpful to the reader, as it does nothing to convey what the article is about. * Since the title of this article is neither an official title nor a title in use in reliable sources, and since it does not indicate the subject matter of the article, it would be much better replaced by something which does indicate what the article is about. NikitaIsNext05 mentioned that the Russian Wikipedia article has the title (in translation) "Speech by Vladimir Putin regarding the start of the invasion of Ukraine", and I have accepted that, as it clearly indicates what the article is about, but I am not wedded to that form of words if anyone has a better suggestion. Certainly I see that as far better than the current title. JBW (talk) 19:54, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Hyunjin → Hyunjin (rapper) – Both individuals are consistently referred to in reliable secondary sources by the mononym "Hyunjin" (Korean: 현진), not their full names.[18][19][20][21][22][23]. While both could be described as singers in general and perform vocals (as is typical for K-pop idols), the former (Stray Kids member) is primarily notable as a rapper, as reflected by the order of roles in the article lead and consistent with coverage in reliable sources, while the latter (Loona/Loossemble member) is primarily notable as a singer, providing clear grounds for disambiguation per WP:SINGERDAB and MOS:ROLEBIO. While ROLEBIO does not strictly dictate article titles, it helps identify the role for which each subject is best known. Other disambiguation options are unsuitable: "(singer, born 2000)" isn't applicable since both were born in 2000, and "(entertainer)" is discouraged per SINGERDAB, which recommends that disambiguator only "if the person is also well-known in other non-musical entertainment fields", both individuals are primarily known for musical performance and idol activities, not broader entertainment roles. Likewise, a hyphenated or full-name version for the latter (Loona/Loossemble member) is also not appropriate. A WP:BEFORE search for "Kim Hyun-jin" in Google, Bing, Naver, and Daum returns Kim Hyun-jin (the actor), rather than the Loona/Loossemble member. A search for "Kim Hyunjin" returns results referring to the Loona/Loossemble member as simply "Hyunjin", rather than under her full name. If the former (Stray Kids member) is determined to be the primary topic, that's acceptable and reasonable. However, the latter (Loona/Loossemble member) should not remain at Kim Hyunjin, which is an unnatural, obscure, and unused form, contrary to WP:COMMONNAME and WP:NATURALDAB. Her article should be moved to Hyunjin (singer), the most accurate and policy-compliant title. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 12:34, 18 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 13:08, 25 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 13:15, 25 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans, Duke of Rivia 14:26, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Burns Clubs → Burns club – These should be named consistently. In neither case is this the proper name of a particular organisation; each of the two subjects is a general class of organisation type that rarely has any affilition with another of the same type. Per WP:SINGULAR, these must be given in singular form, since they are not "naturally plural" like scissors nor something only encyclopedically addressable as a set/collective, like the Rocky Mountains. Per MOS:CAPS, the closing word "clubs" or "societies" should not be capitalised, because these plural forms are not proper names; only the proper-name elements in these titles should be capitalised ("Burns" and "Saint Andrew"). None of them are actually named either of these things, but have longer names like "[Place] Burns Club", "St Andrew's Society of [Place]", etc., and some also don't use either of the closing words given here but have alternatives: "Burns Society of [Place]", "[Place] St. Andrew's & Caledonian Club", etc., or even are name something else entirely like "North British Association of [Place]", "[Place] Scots", or whatever, but are within the definition of the article subject in question. (Any possibility of confusion that one these subjects, in singular form, refers to a monolithic global organisation, as if all the "[Place] Burns Club" instances are chapters of it, is obviated by the lower-casing change. PS: In a similar vein, we do not pluralize the article title Institute of technology, nor capitalise institute of technology at all except within the proper name of a particular institution, e.g. California Institute of Technology.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  09:27, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – 2025 Cambodia–Thailand border conflict → 2025 Cambodian–Thai border conflict – Short version: This request concerns "Cambodia–Thailand" versus "Cambodian–Thai". Reasons should be obvious to most.
    Long version: This is a requested move to undo an erroneous unilateral move and restore specifically the element of the stable version that is the "Cambodian–Thai" component. The mover provided the following incorrect rationale (diff):

    The title should have name of the country, not their demonyms such as 2025 Iran–Israel war, not the "2025 Iranian–Israeli war" etc.

    According to general English conventions, this part of a title functions as an adjective and should use adjectival forms, as in Kenyan–Ugandan border conflict (not "Kenya–Uganda border conflict"), Eritrean–Ethiopian border conflict (not "Eritrea–Ethiopia border conflict"), Djiboutian–Eritrean border conflict (not "Djibouti–Eritrea border conflict"), etc. This is a question of grammar, of language conventions in phrases in the "[x–y] [some kind of conflict]" mold, and of consistency as one of the five Wikipedia naming policy principles.
    The reason why it is "Iran–Israel war" and not "Iranian–Israeli war" is that we say (and have been saying for decades) "Iran–Iraq War" (has a nice syllabic symmetry to it) and not "Iranian–Iraqi War" ("Iranian" and "Iraqi" don't have this symmetry, and people in the 80s were not sure if they should say "Iraqi" or "wikt:Iraqian"; indeed, you will find "Iranian–Iraqian War" in contemporary sources). Unlike the descriptive title of the article being discussed, "Iran–Iraq War" is a proper name, influenced probably by traditional headlinese, which always favors shorter forms, often disregarding grammar. This has locked in "Iran–" in any such phrase. In this context, "Iran–[country]" has become a noun phrase template—with respect to Iran...
    But not with respect to Israel. You see, it isn't "Israel–Palestine conflict"; it is "Israeli–Palestinian conflict". That's because it doesn't have "Iran–". And when Iran a.k.a. Persia was Persia, it was involved in wars such as the Ottoman–Persian Wars, the Anglo-Persian War, the Russo-Persian Wars, etc. Equally for conflicts involving Cambodia and Thailand: It is not "2008–2013 Cambodia–Thailand border crisis"; it is "2008–2013 Cambodian–Thai border crisis".
    Undoing a unilateral move normally does not require a move request, but technical help was declined at the corresponding process page because the mover or movers did not recognize that the "Cambodian-Thai" -> "Cambodia-Thailand" aspect of contested unilateral move is a distinct issue that can be addressed separately; that is to say, separately from any other issue related to yesterday's and the day's before multiple endeavors to improve the title as the situation developed. And so, as it was suggested to editors to deal with this banal problem using the RM process, an RM has been started. —Alalch E. 17:50, 26 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 03:07, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss) – Unity of religion and rule → Saisei Itchi – This article was translated from 祭政一致. In Japanese, this term is used to refer to combination of state and religion in all forms (not just in Japan) which is why this article as it is is not specific to Japan. However, in English, the term saisei itchi is used in academia to refer only to the that in Japan. If this article is to remain general like it is, then any content worth preserving should be merged with Theocracy, State Religion, or State Shinto. However, if not merging it, it may be worth retaining this article as Saisei Itchi so it may be used as a place for information specifically on saisei itchi as it's discussed in English academia.

  • (Discuss) – Nisse (folklore) → Nordic gnome – Nisse doesnt adapt well into English, and Nisse/Tomte etc is traditionally translated as gnome in English (compare garden gnome > da. havenisse, no. hagenisse, sv. trädgårdstomte, fi. puutarhatonttu). "Nordic gnome" is how i personally as a native Swede would describe the folklore to someone unfamiliar with the concept and i belive that title is much better for such people.

  • (Discuss) – Tweedie distribution → Tweedie–Bar-Lev–Enis distribution – Several reliable sources describe this family as independently and rigorously characterized by M. C. K. Tweedie (1984) and by Shaul K. Bar-Lev & Peter Enis (1986), and recent literature adopts the triple eponym. The current single-eponym title reflects later secondary usage and obscures the dual/independent characterization.

  • (Discuss) – The Backrooms → Backrooms – There isn't any other article named "Backrooms", and WP:DEFINITE is quite clear. It is definitely the primary topic over the web series and film of the same name. The only reason to have the redirect is if the song or album is equally important, although for the album "Back Room" and "Backroom" could still be a redirect.

  • (Discuss) – War on Crypto → Regulation of cryptocurrency – Continuation of a discussion that began at the AfD: This name is not a WP:COMMONNAME, and more importantly it is not a neutral name—meaning it's subject to WP:NPOVNAME's requirements, which state that An article title with non-neutral terms cannot simply be a name commonly used in the past; it must be the common name in current use...Wikipedia ... avoids common names for lacking neutrality [when they are] trendy slogans and monikers that seem unlikely to be remembered or connected with a particular issue years later [or] colloquialisms where far more encyclopedic alternatives are obvious.
    Generally, the sources containing the phrase "war on crypto" do not use title case (which this article's title is in), and use it as a turn of phrase—similar to the phrase "war on food dyes", which does not suggest that there is such a thing as the properly-named War on Food Dyes. In order for this title to stand, it would need to be demonstrated that a significant majority of English-language sources use it as the proper name of the article's subject.
    Regulation of cryptocurrency satisfies WP:NDESC and doesn't 1) reify such an artificial concept as "the War on Crypto", nor 2) limit this article's scope to only regulations perceived as attacks on the technology or financial structures of cryptocurrencies. ꧁Zanahary꧂ 00:12, 24 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 11:09, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Turkish offensive into northeastern Syria (2024–2025) → ? – So to end the discussion once and for all: #My position: "the Turkish ground forces [we]re not involved" as the offensive was executed by the SNA with some Turkish air support so i agreed to "SNA–Turkish campaign in Northern Syria (2024–2025)" #@Ecrusized and Lyra Stone: "SNA is a de-facto Turkish proxy force, it is dubious whether they can take any military action without direct Turkish supervision." so it should be called "Turkish offensive into northeastern Syria (2024–2025)" #@Gluonz: "feels too similar to ones that were rejected" so "Rojava conflict (2024–2025)" changed the years a bit; @Bobfrombrockley Braganza (talk) 16:15, 16 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Bensci54 (talk) 17:12, 23 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. TarnishedPathtalk 11:02, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Hauser, ID Refueling Facility → Hauser fueling depot – or BNSF Hauser fueling depot or maybe Hauser Main Line Refueling Depot or BNSF Hauser Main Line Refueling Depot. Motivated to get rid of the lopsided punctuation and postal-style abbreviation in this article title, I found three sources cited in the article that were accessible without a paywall. One of them is from the company that owns this facility and two are not (Daily Bee and Associated Press). The Daily Bee article refers to "[the] Hauser Fueling Depot" and "the Hauser fueling depot" (primarily the former), and for short also "Hauser Depot" and just "Hauser". Associated Press refers to "a Burlington Northern and Santa Fe Co. refueling station near Hauser, Idaho". BNSF itself refers to "BNSF's refueling facility at Hauser" (lowercase). With an off-Wikipedia search, I find a Railway Age article that refers to "BNSF's Main Line Refueling Depot at Hauser" and "the Hauser fueling facility" and "the Hauser refueling facility" and "BNSF's Hauser, Idaho, refueling facility" and for short just "Hauser". It also refers to "Hauser Yard", but I think that might not be synonymous with the fueling depot. The Spokesman Review refers to "The Hauser Mainline Fueling Facility" and "the Hauser depot" and "the Hauser facility" and for short just "Hauser". (Note that one capitalized variant is "Main Line" and the other is "Mainline" and one is "Refueling" and the other is "Fueling" and one is "Depot" and the other is "Facility".) Since the sources provide no consistent name or consistent capitalization, I suggest a simple and concise descriptive (lowercase) title. "Fueling" is shorter than "refueling", and "depot" is shorter than "facility". —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 01:18, 25 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. Cactus🌵 spiky ouch 09:18, 31 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss) – Luigi → Luigi (given name) – I have reviewed about the recent RM about the Nintendo character with the same name, and noticed some problems: Yes, several figures from wikinav and simiar resources suggested the fictional character can't be considered as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, but I also noticed that: There's also no other pages which can be considered as the same. So at least here I think: There's no clue for any single page under the same name to be considered as WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. So here I suggest a compromise solution: Make the disambiguation page to be the main title, and move the currect main page (a common Italian name) under the disambiguation title–if no single page can be WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, then this solution is a better balance between some famous fictional characters and a common given name, also along with other meanings listed.

  • (Discuss) – Morgan Murphy (food critic) → Morgan Murphy (Navy captain) – Proposing to change the disambiguator from "(food critic)" to "(Navy captain)" as it better reflects the subject's current and primary notability per WP:AT and WP:DAB. The current disambiguator is based on the subject's earlier career as a food critic and author, which ended around 2015 (last book in the series published that year, per article sources). Since then, the subject has focused on a military and political career, including 26 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve (promoted to Captain in 2020), service as press secretary to the U.S. Secretary of Defense (2020–2021), national security advisor to Senator Tommy Tuberville, and now an advisor in the second Trump administration. This shift is supported by recent reliable sources emphasizing the subject's military and political roles over food criticism: * AL.com (May 28, 2025): Describes the subject as an "ex-Trump adviser and ex-Tuberville aide" among possible candidates for the Senate seat.[20] * Washington Times (May 28, 2025): Refers to the subject as "Navy Capt. Morgan Murphy" considering a Senate bid.[21] * Daily Caller (May 28, 2025): Notes the subject as a "longtime Trump ally" planning to run for the open Senate seat.[22] * 1819 News (May 29, 2025): Describes the subject as a "former national security advisor to Tuberville" considering a run for the open Senate seat.[23] The military title "Navy captain" is a precise, natural disambiguator (similar to examples in WP:DAB like "(naval officer)"), aligning with how the subject is increasingly identified in sources. It avoids outdated descriptors while maintaining conciseness. No change to the base name "Morgan Murphy" is proposed, as the disambiguation page lists other individuals (e.g., comedian, baseball player). Full disclosure per WP:COI: I am the subject of this article (Morgan Murphy) and am requesting this move due to the evolution of my career. I have not edited the article directly and am seeking community consensus. This builds on the informal suggestion already on this talk page.

  • (Discuss) – Howard Johnson → Howard Johnson (disambiguation) – The "S" was officially dropped from the name in the 1970s, and most sources still using the S do so solely in reference to the now-defunct restaurants. Extensive searching shows that most references to the company in its current form, or at least sources covering both the hotel and restaurant, omit the S. I would compare this to Meijer, which officially dropped its own possessive S quite some time ago but is still called "Meijer's" colloquially or historically, but not in formal discussion of the company in its current form. Page views and inbound links also suggest that the hotel chain is by far the most common topic by the name "Howard Johnson", S or otherwise, and should therefore be the primary topic over the company founder or anyone else by that name.

  • (Discuss) – Andy Hines → Andy Hines (futurist) – Now that we have an article about Andy Hines (director), a Grammy-nominated music video director whose debut narrative feature film is premiering at TIFF this fall, it's no longer clear that the futurist — whose notability claims are referenced almost entirely to his own writing metaverifying its own existence, rather than to WP:GNG-building coverage about him in reliable sources — would be highly meganotable enough to retain primary topic status.
    To be clear, I'm proposing a dab page at the plain title rather than moving the filmmaker; it remains possible that the filmmaker may come to clearly outprimary the academic at some point in the future, but I'm not prepared to argue that he's already done so as of today. Note that since Andy is short for Andrew and I did have to search for instances of the filmmaker being referred to as Andrew instead of Andy when adding inbound wikilinks to his article, the dab page should probably also rope in motorcycle racer Andrew Hines, though I'm of two minds as to whether we should move him as well and place the dab page at Andrew, or just leave him alone, place the dab page at Andy and just include Andrew as a see-also — I don't, however, think that he's so highly meganotable either as to justify leaving him at his plain title but placing the dab page at "Andrew Hines (disambiguation)": the dab page should be either "Andy" or "Andrew" as a plain title.

  • (Discuss) – Preah Vihear → Preah Vihear (disambiguation) – Preah Vihear is the WP:COMMONNAME. Google Ngram shows that "Preah Vihear" is tens of times more frequent than "Preah Vihear Temple" (or "Prasat Preah Vihear"). "Temple of Preah Vihear" is relatively frequent but just "Preah Vihear" without a qualifier is clearly the single most common version. The Khmer word "vihear" already denotes a sanctuary/spiritual abode which is arguably a more particular meaning than the broad "temple", so appending that generic qualifier is pleonastic and diluting. A look at articles in Category:Angkorian sites (and its subcats) shows a predominant practice of omitting generic architectural qualifiers such as "temple" or "Prasat" (a minority include "Prasat" however, which is caused by the influence of official naming, but they are still in the minority and should probably be moved as well). Therefore, "Preah Vihear" is WP:CONSISTENT among Angkorian temples such as Bayon (not Bayon Temple/Prasat Bayon), Banteay Srei (not Banteay Srei Temple/Prasat Banteay Srei), Pre Rup (not Pre Rup Temple/Prasat Pre Rup), or Chau Say Tevoda (not Chau Say Tevoda Temple/Prasat Chau Say Tevoda). Preah Vihear the temple is clearly the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC in relation to the settlement and the provice and a natural disambiguator is not needed. It should occupy the title of the current disambiguation page, and the disambiguation page should become "Preah Vihear (disambiguation)". —Alalch E. 16:28, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Checkers (video game) → ? – Not wanting to risk butchering a newly-promoted GA, I am launching an RM here amid discussion above. "Checkers (video game)" is too ambiguous, being unable to distinguish Christopher Strachey's Checkers from the general topic of computer checkers. My first choice would be Checkers (1952 video game), as this was the article's original title before it was moved. However, the video game referred to here as "Checkers" did not have a proper title. Strachey only referred to it as a "computer program" that just so happened to simulate checkers (the term "video game" was not in common use in 1952). But since "Checkers" was developed in the United Kingdom, would it be "Draughts" instead of "Checkers"? Not really sure what to think of this one. What do you think?

  1. ^ Sidenote:Originally I thought a simple WP:BLAR to the proposed redirect target was fine since the other terms are already discussed at Anti-gender movement, so I boldly did so, but someone reverted it, so I raised it as an AFD per instructions for a simple BLAR, as opposed to directly raising it as an RM, since I didn't see a need for the DAB page to begin with initially (it turned out to be a vandal hounding me, who has since been blocked). However RoxySaunders brought up a valid point of the older use of the term and its potential disambiguative value to Cisgenderism still, so I requested a procedural close of the AFD as the wrong venue since this is now a WP:PTOPIC discussion under the venue purview of WP:RM instead.
  2. ^ Sidenote: Please don't get confused by the current closing comment at the AFD as the nac closer accidentally overlooked the policy for procedural close due to incorrect venue part, which I've raised with them at their talk page, and which may be corrected directly, or go to DRV to be corrected to the procedural close due to incorrect venue that it should be per the deletion process policy, though that's just a technicality of correctly stating the history of this page for posterity, and doesn't change the fact that RM is the right venue for the discussion, hence raising it now as such.
