  • (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. Per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CONSISTENCY (distribution pages use the singular), the title should be Tweedie–Bar-Lev–Enis distribution. Sources: Tweedie 1984; Bar-Lev & Enis 1983, 1986; Brown 1986 (cites the 1983 TR); Jørgensen 1987; Bar-Lev 2019; Cohen & Huillet 2022; Kokonendji et al. 2020; Truquet, Cohen & Doukhan 2024.

  • (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) – Trina Solar → Trinasolar – Hello. Firstly I would like to disclose that I work for Trinasolar, and I’m submitting this request in line with Wikipedia’s conflict of interest guidelines. I will not directly edit the article. I would like to propose updating the article’s title and the way the company is referred to throughout the article — from “Trina Solar” (two words) to “Trinasolar” (one word), to reflect the company’s brand and trademark. Rationale: The company brands itself globally as “Trinasolar” — as one word — and has a trademark consistent with this. Updating the article title and usage would reflect how the company is commonly known and branded in the real world, consistent with Wikipedia’s naming conventions for companies and the guideline to use commonly recognizable names. Suggested wording for lead sentence: Trinasolar (legally Trina Solar Co., Ltd.; Chinese: 天合光能有限公司) is a Chinese photovoltaics company founded in 1997. Sources: https://trademarks.justia.com/872/53/trinasolar-87253078.html https://www.pv-tech.org/industry-updates/trinasolar-develops-worlds-first-800w-tandem-module/ https://www.trinasolar.com/ I recognize that article title changes involve broader discussion and consensus. I welcome feedback and am happy to revise this request based on community input. Thank you for your time and consideration.

  • (Discuss) – Succession of states → Successor state – The term "successor state" is the most common term relating to the concept of states succeeding. "Succession of states" is not really an established term in common usage. On Pageviews Analysis, the article "Successor state" averages 49 daily views (over past 12 months), while the actual page "Succession of states" averages 164. Nearly one-third of visits coming from a single redirect is incredibly high and signals what name makes more sense. From: Succession of states is a concept in international relations regarding a successor state that has become a sovereign state over a territory (and populace) that was previously under the sovereignty of another state. To: A successor state is a concept in international relations regarding a sovereign state that has newly formed over a territory and populace that was previously under the sovereignty of another state.

  • (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.[1] * Washington Times (May 28, 2025): Refers to the subject as "Navy Capt. Morgan Murphy" considering a Senate bid.[2] * Daily Caller (May 28, 2025): Notes the subject as a "longtime Trump ally" planning to run for the open Senate seat.[3] * 1819 News (May 29, 2025): Describes the subject as a "former national security advisor to Tuberville" considering a run for the open Senate seat.[4] 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) – 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).

Notes

Notes

  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.

  • (Discuss) – Maui County → Maui County, Hawaii – This page was originally named "Maui County, Hawaii," but a name change (so far unremarked upon) on 24 March 2025 moved the page to "Maui County." Outside of consolidated city-counties or New York City, I am unaware of any county-level entity without the state name in the title. Los Angeles County is probably the most well-known county name, and its page name is still "Los Angeles County, California." No other county in Hawaii has been renamed this way, either. I have no reason to believe that this sort of renaming will become more common, but it seems important to establish a norm that removing the state from a county page name is not an appropriate exercise of concision or precision in page titles.

  • (Discuss) – Pogačar → Pogačar (surname) – Make way for a redirect to the cyclist who is clearly the primary topic for people referred to by this surname. He has 1000x the page views as the golfer [[9]] and over 90% of clicks on Pogačar are to him [[10]]. I propose Pogačar redirects to him and a hatnote is added to his page for anyone who is looking for the golfer. orangesclub 🍊 03:33, 30 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • (Discuss) – Penticton Vees (junior A) → Penticton Vees (BCHL) – The "Junior A" classification is no longer applicable to BCHL teams. In 2023, the BCHL became independent from Hockey Canada and subsequently dropped the "Junior A" designation, now classifying its teams simply as "Junior."[11] This change in the BCHL's self-classification makes the "Junior A" disambiguator outdated and inaccurate. Furthermore, BC Hockey (the provincial governing body) now uses the term "Junior A" to refer to a level of hockey that would be considered "Junior B" in most other jurisdictions, adding to the ambiguity and potential for misunderstanding if the old title were retained. Therefore, "Penticton Vees (BCHL)" is the most accurate and clear title, directly linking the team to its current league affiliation.

  • (Discuss) – History of Chinese immigration to the United Kingdom → History of Chinese Britons – Request made on 3 accounts: Firstly, the brevity of the proposed title. Secondly, the proposed title better matches other existing Wiki articles on similar topics, such as the History of Chinese Americans and History of Chinese Australians pages, both of which are currently linked in the article's text. Chinese Britons is also a term used to refer to such individuals and groups on the article for British Chinese Mysdias (talk) 17:53, 16 July 2025 (UTC) and would not be a new invention. Lastly, in my view "History of chinese immigration to the united kingdom" restricts the potential scope or view of the article. Of course, there are many Chinese Britons who are not 1st or even 2nd generation immigrants, and have spent their whole lives living in the United Kingdom. Owing to this, I think that the proposed title better represents the article's role and purpose - to detail teh history of chinese communities in the United Kingdom - better than the current title without drastically altering the aim of the article.

  • (Discuss) – Moldova Mare Party → Greater Moldova Party – I moved the article's title in March to avoid a case of WP:CITOGENESIS, "Moldova Mare" has two possible translations, explicitly irredentist "Greater Moldova" and would-be Trump-like populist "Great Moldova". Up until that point we hadn't had evidence for five years that the party was irredentist despite its name, but now we do [12]. Furthermore, English-language sources have decided to take on the "Greater Moldova" translation [13] [14] [15] (plus usage in Twitter and Reddit; I could only find this source [16] and one instance in Reddit employing "Great Moldova"). I wanted to be very careful and bureaucratic with the title of this article and with having everything verified by sources as a Moldovan irredentist party in 2025 is stupidly funny. Compare it to the Trump calls for annexing random territories today. Super Ψ Dro 14:10, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • (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) – Steven Pladl triple murder and suicide → Pladl case – The current title feels awkward and doesn't capture the entirety of the case. Steven Pladl and Rose Fusco had already gained significant national and some international attention in February 2018, prior to the murders, after their arrest on adultery charges. The new title would be more in line with other criminal incest cases such as Fritzl case or Mongelli case. Although the more descriptive "Pladl incest and murder case" would be more accurate, it might be too lengthy while "Pladl incest case" would exclude the murders that led to the most and ultimately sustained coverage.

  • (Discuss) – A Guy Walks Into a Bar (song) → A Guy Walks Into a Bar – The last RM was all over the place, with two supports, one oppose, and one neutral. I'm surprised it wasn't closed as no consensus or at least relisted, and IMO it should be reassessed. This is the only work with the exact name "A Guy Walks Into a Bar" and should be the primary topic of that form of the exact phrase "A Guy Walks Into a Bar": * The NCIS episode is titled "A Man Walks Into a Bar..." with "man" instead of "guy", and an ellipsis at the end. * The Justified episode does not have the leading "A". * The Mini Mansions work does not have the leading "A", and also has an ellipsis at the end. Therefore, the Tyler Farr song is the only work with the exact title "A Guy Walks Into a Bar", and a hatnote to bar joke is sufficient. Anything else for the song is WP:OVERPRECISION, and I am not convinced of the arguments to the contrary.

  • (Discuss) – Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis → IUPUI – IUPUI had three long-form names over the course of its existence: Indiana University–Purdue University at Indianapolis (with the word "at," 1969-1992), Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (official form, 1992-2024), and Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (most common form used on official publications, without the dash, 1992-2024). Regarding naming conventions, College and university article advice makes two relevant statements: (1) "This section is a complement to Wikipedia's naming conventions, not a replacement. Always consider the Wikipedia conventions first when naming a page." (It follows deeper below.) (2) "Never use abbreviations or acronyms in titles unless the institution you are naming is almost exclusively known only by including such terms and is widely used in that form. See Wikipedia:Naming conventions (abbreviations) for more information." According to Acronyms in page titles, "Acronyms should be used in a page name if the subject is known primarily by its abbreviation and that abbreviation is primarily associated with the subject." Acronyms are usually avoided for disambiguation purposes, but I've never seen anything else called "IUPUI." I worked for IUPUI University Libraries in the late 1990s, and I created IUPUI's Library of Congress name heading within the Library of Congress's Program for Cooperative Cataloging, which is "IUPUI (Campus)." I did that after systematically surveying the presentation of IUPUI's name on its publications throughout its existence to that date, namely 1999. Given that IUPUI had one long-form name for about 13 years and two other long-form names for 32 years, the abbreviation "IUPUI" is by far and away the most common name used both by the organization itself and outsiders, and the long form virtually always appeared with the abbreviation. Therefore, both the general rule and the specific rule apply. IUPUI's article title should follow the example of NASA and be "IUPUI."

  • (Discuss) – Pacemaker → Artificial cardiac pacemaker – This article should clearly be moved per WP:PRECISION. In addition, calling this article "pacemaker" and the article for the natural pacemaker cells "cardiac pacemaker" does not make any sense whatsoever, especially because that doesn't even distinguish the two. If "pacemaker" usually refers to the artifical cardiac pacemaker rathar than the natural one, it redirecting to this page is fine. Cyrobyte (talk) 02:29, 27 July 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)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Menelik II's conquests → Agar Maqnat – "Agar Maqnat" is a used local term to describe this period in reliable academic sources[18][19] including Encyclopaedia Aethiopica while "Menelik II's conquests" or "invasions" or "expansions" comes up with no mentions in any scholarly literature. I was the creator of this article, and I gave it the name "Menelik's Expansions" some 3 years ago because I did not know that there was a specific term for this period in Ethiopian history. There is no official English equivalent for these name of these conquests, the name should be changed to its indigenous name similar to other African articles such the Mfecane, Gukurahundi, Ikiza, etc. Socialwave597 (talk) 02:24, 19 July 2025 (UTC) — Relisting. – MrAussieGuy (Talk) 03:18, 26 July 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.[20][21][22][23][24][25]. 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)[reply]
  • (Discuss) – Sermon on the 'Mount (South Park) → Sermon on the 'Mount – Unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator. There is nothing else named "Sermon on the 'Mount" currently. It's unlikely that somebody would search "Sermon on the 'Mount" (with the ') to search for anything other than this episode. Per WP:CONCISE the title should be shortened as it does not conflict with any other articles. The title follows Wikipedia's policy of using the most recognizable and unambiguous name. It's common for stylized titles most commonly associated with a certain thing, even if the unstylized phrase is more ambigious, to redirect to/be the main name of said thing; see Boyz n the Hood , Boyz n da Hood, and Boyz-n-the-Hood, all of which are very similar but due to minor variations keep their original titles, with hatnotes in the rare chance that the viewer intended to see another article. jolielover♥talk 06:52, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • (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?
