Wikipedia:Requested moves

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.

• WP:RMNOTWP:RMNOT

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

• Making an uncontroversial move – if you can, be bold and do it yourself! If you can't, see § Requesting technical moves.
• Renaming a category – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
• Renaming a stub template – propose the move at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion (because stub templates apply an equivalent category).
• Renaming an image or other file – see Wikipedia:Moving a page § Moving a file page.
• Moves from draft namespace or user space to article space – Unconfirmed users: add {{subst:submit}} to the top of the article. See Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Confirmed users: Move the page yourself.
• Merging two articles – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed mergers, or be bold and do it yourself.
• Splitting an article – make a request at Wikipedia:Proposed article splits, or be bold and do it yourself.
• Requesting that page histories be merged – list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge.
• Contesting a move request close – use the Wikipedia:Move review process.

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

• WP:RMUMWP:RMUM
• WP:BOLDMOVEWP:BOLDMOVE

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, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, 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.

This page has an administrative backlog that requires the attention of willing administrators. Please replace this notice with {{no admin backlog}} when the backlog is cleared.

Uncontroversial proposals

Only list here proposals that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete. Things like capitalization and spelling mistakes would be appropriate here. If there is any prior discussion as to the name of the article please link to it. If there is any possibility that the proposed page move could be opposed by anyone, do not list it in this section.

Please use {{subst:WP:RM2|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} for uncontroversial moves only; do not copy, paste, and edit previous entries. No dated sections are necessary, and no templates on the article's talk page are necessary.

If your request was not fulfilled, and was removed from this section, please relist it in the other proposals section below.

---

• Captain Smoker → Smoker (One Piece) — As of chapter 439 of One Piece, the character Smoker has been promoted to the rank of Commodore; thus, the current page name is no longer accurate. (I assume that Star Trek's "Captain Kirk" redirects to "James T. Kirk" for the same reason.) However, since the target page held a redirect to the article's present ___location (a redirect I tried, but apparently failed, to remove), I am unable to perform the move on my own. A little help, please? —Julian Grybowski 23:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Isonicotinic acids → Isonicotinic acid — The parent acid should be the name of the article, rather than the class of derivatives for which it is named —Rifleman 82 20:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC) --Rifleman 82 20:25, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Anthony John Bailey → Anthony Bailey — known as Anthony Bailey —Eligo 15:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Shakespeare: the Animated Tales → Shakespeare: The Animated Tales — WP:STYLE, and that's the official title per IMDB. Cannot do it myself because the latter link is a redirect which was edited twice. —Esn 01:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Done. - Mgm|^(talk) 10:26, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Cook islands Maori → Cook Islands Maori — correct naming convention —Patstuart^talk|edits 01:24, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• DX10 operating system → DX10 — We only add "operating system" or "(operating system)" if more than one article can have the same title, don't we? —Gennaro Prota^•Talk 01:43, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Harbor City International School (Duluth, MN) → Harbor City International School — No need for disambiguation in the name, and in any case, following the standard of other city schools, Harbor City International School (Duluth, Minnesota) would be more appropriate. ——INTRIGUEBLUE (talk|contribs) 09:05, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back → It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. It was moved there in January, but then someone forked the article so it was at both locations, and then they were edited separately, and then someone made the correct title into a redirect to the incorrect title. Per WP:NC#Album titles and band names, it should be located at the title that uses lowercase. leigh (φθόγγος) 09:32, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• FedEx Express (airline) → FedEx Express — New name is currently a redirect to the old name; no reason to explicitly stated that it's an airline ——Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• CH-21 Shawnee → Piasecki H-21 — To comform to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (aircraft) guidelines for US aircraft with multiple names - Manufacturer, number —BillCJ 20:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Canadair T-33 → CT-133 Silver Star — To conform to proper designation and name in Canadian Forces —BillCJ 20:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Cassidy (disambiguation) → Cassidy —(Discuss)— This article has no primary topic; per WP:D, the "(disambiguation)" clarifier is unecessary. —Muchness 23:20, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Diesel Particulate Filter → Diesel particulate filter — MoS —Espoo 00:07, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Kokinshū → Kokin Wakashū — Kokinshū is an abbreviation for Kokin Wakashū. Already discussed on talk page. —Bendono 03:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• C-75 Military Transport → Boeing C-75 — To comform to Wikipedia:Naming conventions (aircraft) guidelines for US military aircraft without a Popular Name —BillCJ 05:20, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Skunk Ape → Skunk ape — To conform to Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Lowercase second and subsequent words in titles. —Elembis 08:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Wilhelmus → Het Wilhelmus - The version with Dutch article is the most common. Also, "Wilhelmus" is a common latin variant of William, Wilhelm and Willem and could serve other purposes. Rex 16:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Nguyen Ngoc Troung Son → Nguyen Ngoc Truong Son — Typo in page name. —Quale 17:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC) Quale 17:47, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Talk:Cayman Islands Dollar → Talk:Cayman Islands dollar — correct page name is with lower-case d. Article is there, but talk page was apparently not moved. Lower-case d talk page has no important text on it (but is not blank, so I can't do it myself) —Ingrid 20:08, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Apostolos Nikolaidis (Singer) → Apostolos Nikolaidis — This person has the same name as an existing entry for a different person —Mnicholas01 18:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Other proposals

All of the proposals listed below need to have a discussion set up on talk page of the article to be moved. Please use the template {{subst:WP:RM|Old Page Name|Requested name|Reason for move}} and, if necessary, create a new dated section.

Please use the correct template: see the instructions above. Do NOT attempt to copy and paste formatting from another listing.

• Demetrius I Briański → Demetrius I Starszy —(Discuss)— Demetrius I Starszy has more google counts —Orionus 10:42, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• WWE Friday Night SmackDown! → WWE Friday Night SmackDown —(Discuss)— WWE no longer uses the exclamation point when writing about the program. It is also purely decorative, which does not comply with MoS:TM. —Croctotheface 07:27, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Children's non-fiction writers → List of children's non-fiction writers —(Discuss)— To conform to naming conventions (& clarify article function). Note: I made the first move from "...authors" to "...writers", as per convention, but forgot to prefix it with "List of..." (I don't believe this move is likely to be controversial but because there is a redirect now, this further move needs administrator assistance, correct?) —RCEberwein | Talk 05:48, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I screwed-up and accidently created the wrong (i.e. the proposed) talk page, along with the the tags etc.! I wanted to undo this but I'm sure that an Admin has to rescue me from myself. sorry--RCEberwein | Talk 06:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• MegaMan Battle Network 2 → Mega Man Battle Network 2 —(Discuss)— Capcom spells it as 2 words instead of 1 word in CamelCase [1]. I'm also suggesting all the other MMBN articles be moved as well, I would except somebody already made them redirects. —TJ Spyke 00:34, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • MegaMan Battle Network 3 → Mega Man Battle Network 3
  • MegaMan Battle Network 4 → Mega Man Battle Network 4
  • MegaMan Battle Network 5 → Mega Man Battle Network 5 (re-listing after noticing someone removed it after less than 2 days).
• Rock (geology) → Rock and Rock → Rock (disambiguation) —(Discuss)— Significant numbers of articles are linked to the Rock (geology) article, and as a core science article and the term being used much longer than the other uses, it should have precedence in the Rock namespace. +mwtoews 08:51, 24 December 2006 (UTC) / savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 06:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The last time it was proposed (granted, in 2004), it was only opposed ([[2]]). I don't think it is clear cut that the clear majority of people searching for "rock" ar interested in rocks and not in rock and roll. The current situation seems allright to me, but perhaps you have some reasoning behind the request which may persuade me... Fram 10:41, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Finnish House of Knights and Nobility → Finnish House of Nobility —(Discuss)— The name used in English by this institution is "Finnish House of Nobility" - not House of Knights —Petri Krohn 20:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Lipjan → Lipljan —(Discuss)— Move from the Albanian name to the Serbian one, to reflect common English usage, as illustrated in the "Sources" sub-section of the discussion. For a number of historical reasons, the English language has usually adopted the Serbian names for the region of Kosovo. This usage may change in the future, and Albanian names may become the norm in English texts, but this isn't the case yet. Only when/if that happens should Wikipedia reflect the change, instead of spearheading it. —Evv 19:40, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Champagne → Champagne (beverage) —(Discuss)— Suggest returning the article about the beverage back to Champagne (beverage) and redirecting Champagne back to Champagne (disambiguation). From what I can tell, things were shuffled around without much discussion about a month ago. Rather than debate about which article should take precedence (the province or the wine) I think disambiguating the whole lot makes most sense, both from a technical and navigational standpoint. —Can't sleep, clown will eat me 16:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Bußd → Boz, Alba —(Discuss)— The official name of the village in Romanian is Boz, as confirmed in the article. Bußd is the German name. Nuttah68 07:59, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Talk:Brussels-Capital Region#Names survey -- This is a survey for which names the articles for the municipalities in the region of Brussels should have. The region is officially bilingual, French-Dutch, and several of the municipalities have different names in French and Dutch. The question is whether both names should be in the article title, if so, how, and if not, which one. The articles in question are given below, with their present title. Because of the holidays I'd propose to let this survey run for a month. --Markussep 10:44, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Asian Winter Games → Winter Asian Games —(Discuss)— The latter is the official designation for these games. The word 'Winter' should modify 'Asian Games' to contrast it with the (summer) Asian Games, just like the usage of 'Summer' and 'Winter' to modify the phrase 'Olympic Games.' —dirrtychristian 07:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Extensible Markup Language → XML —(Discuss)— the abbreviation is far more commonly used than the spelled-out name —Kla'quot 03:50, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Quebec bashing → Anti-Quebec sentiment —(Discuss)— Anti-Quebec sentiment may or may not be a valid article title, but the "Quebec bashing" title is not valid as it is not commonly used and does not have a professional tone. —Deet 00:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Zhu Da → Bada Shanren —(Discuss)— This person is more commonly known as Bada Shanren, both in Chinese and in English. The source listed on the article has him named as Bada Shanren[3]. Note that the Chinese WP also has him listed as Bada Shanren (zh:八大山人) as well.

For a number of historical reasons, the English language has usually adopted the Serbian names for the region of Kosovo. This usage may change in the future, and Albanian names may become the norm in English texts, but this isn't the case yet.

• The Man Trap (TOS episode) → The Man Trap —(Discuss)— To remove unneeded disambiguation. This is in accordance with the guidelines WP:TV-NC and WP:D. Articles which do not need to be disambiguated shouldn't be disambiguated.
  • The following five articles are bundled with this Request Move
  • One of Our Planets is Missing (TAS episode) → One of Our Planets is Missing
  • Q-Less (DS9 episode) → Q-Less
  • The 37s (Voyager episode) → The 37s
  • The Andorian Incident (Enterprise episode) → The Andorian Incident
  • Encounter at Farpoint (TNG episode) → Encounter at Farpoint —`/aksha 10:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Jinja (Shinto) → Shinto shrine —(Discuss)— Per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (use English). Furthermore, Shinto does not use the term jinja and the list of shrines are under the tilte List of Shinto shrines. —Kusunose 05:00, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Methylenedioxymethamphetamine → MDMA —(Discuss)— I can't even say methylenedioxymethamphetamine - how can we expect that it could be the most common name (per WP:NC)? I won't argue that this and Ecstasy are different drugs - but, following this article's lead, we'd have to rename Codeine to 7,8-didehydro-4,5-epoxy-3-methoxy-17-methylmorphinan-6-ol! A perfect example of why the "most common name" convention is a key part of WP:NC. ——Wknight94 (talk) 12:21, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Woodlawn Cemetery (disambiguation) → Woodlawn Cemetery —(Discuss)— There are several cemeteries with this name or a similar one. It is not clear that any of them could be considered a primary topic. If any thing the one in California could merit that distinction. So better to have the dab page at the redirect. I should note that I did change the redirect from Woodlawn Cemetery, Bronx to this page. —Vegaswikian 20:46, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Prison officer → Corrections officer —(Discuss)— I'm completing this listing, although I personally have no opinion on the move. In some contexts, "corrections officer" is more common. —GTBacchus^(talk) 15:26, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Tramway de Saint Etienne → Tramway de Saint-Étienne. The latter was created with a few days later, the former page's content copy pasted. I've reinstated the former page's content with a paste form the latter so the former, Tramway de Saint Etienne, can be properly moved over to Tramway de Saint-Étienne and have its page history maintained.

• List of popes → List of Popes —(Discuss)— "Pope" is correctly capitalized in this usage —Rhindle The Red 14:38, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Oral contraceptive → Combined oral contraceptive pill —(Discuss)— There are three main types of oral contraceptive; the Combined oral contraceptive pill (COCP), the progestogen only pill (POP), and ormeloxifene. The current content of Oral contraceptive focuses exclusively on one type, the COCP, with a prominent infobox and extensive information about the COCP. There are only a few words on the POP, and no mention of ormeloxifene. The POP has its own well-written article, as does ormeloxifene. Moving the content about the COCP to the page with that title will allow for disambiguation of all oral contraceptives at Oral contraceptive, with links to each type's own page. —Joie de Vivre 13:57, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• History of Windows Live Messenger → MSN Messenger —(Discuss) - This was moved even though there is a long discussion involving a merger of the two names. (Also note that a previous AfD deleted a similar article of the same name.) The mover (User:Themodernizer) was also recently involved in a semi-related edit war with User:Luckyluke, as well. - jc37 11:23, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Talk:Flemish -- Flemish is an ambiguous term with no one meaning.

• Template:tvtome show → tv.com show —(Discuss)— Tvtome has been gone for 2 years now and replaced with tv.com. It wasn't renamed at the time, because there wasn't really a need to do so, and no one wanted to bother doing the work i guess. However I think it's time to actually rename that template, even though it's not very problematic. We can't keep calling it like this for ever, and renaming it later will only make it more difficult. A person with a bot who can actually rename all the usages of the template might be handy. —TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 21:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Supreme Court of Georgia → Supreme Court of Georgia (country) —(Discuss)— and then Georgia Supreme Court → Supreme Court of Georgia (U.S. state) —(Discuss)— After looking at the titles of the Supreme Court of Georgia (U.S. State) and the Supreme Court of Georgia (Country) I think "Supreme Court of Georgia" should link to a disambiguation page. The Georgia Supreme Court is not the commonly used name for the Supreme Court of Georgia (U.S. State). The U.S. State of Georgia has double the population of the country of Georgia, and this is the English Wikipedia, making the Supreme Court of Georgia more commonly known for the court in the U.S. State of Georgia. I propose moving Supreme Court of Georgia to a disambiguation page with links directing people to either the Supreme Court of Georgia (U.S. State) or the Supreme Court of Georgia (Country). This would satisfy both sides, and be a hell-of-a-lot less confusing for the casual reader. KnightLago 16:13, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Hisako Uno Sasaki → Akira Hokuto —(Discuss)— Akira Hokuto is her stage name. Per WP:NAMEPEOPLE the article name should be her best-known, most-searched, commonly-used name. Even the article's intro paragraph says she is "better known as Akira Hokuto". —Geoffg 08:13, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Filipinos → Filipinos (snack food) —(Discuss)— The term "Filipino" has been used to refer to Filipino people for many years, and the snack has existed for only several. I already moved the page to the snack food disambig, but would like to move the entire page properly as to preserve the edit history —Folksong 04:33, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Erika Shishido → Aja Kong —(Discuss)— per WP:NAMEPEOPLE the article name should be her best-known, most-searched, commonly-used name. Aja Kong is her stage name, and the only name most people know her by. —Geoffg 07:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• British Royal Family → Royal Family of Elizabeth II —(Discuss)— This is the Royal Family of 16 Commonwealth Realms, and not merely of Britain. Proposed move would provide a more accurate title and British Royal Family could be a redirect. —Fishhead64 23:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• The CW Television Network → The CW —(Discuss)— Move per WP:NC of usin the most common name that doesn't conflict with the names of other things —^Рэд_хот^{(t • c • e)} 17:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Highland Park, Minnesota → Highland Park, Saint Paul —(Discuss)— Naming the article Highland Park, Minnesota gives the impression that Highland Park is an independent city, rather than a neighborhood within a city. Most neighborhood or district articles are named using a neighborhood, city format, rather than a neighborhood, state format. —Eco84 | Talk 02:39, 9 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • This doesn't seem controversial to me. -Part Deux 13:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Violence in ice hockey → List of violent incidents in ice hockey —(Discuss)— the premise of the Violence in ice hockey article is waaaay too similar to that of the Fighting in ice hockey article. We don't need both articles. Delete the body of the article, or merge it with Fighting in ice hockey. After we do that, only the listy stuff will remain, and we can rename the article. —The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 12:50, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Dazed and Confused → Dazed and Confused (song) —(Discuss)— And also Dazed and Confused (disambiguation) to Dazed and Confused. Both the film and the magazine by this name are well known. The magazine gets top spot in a Google search, followed by the film's IMDb profile. I don't think that priority should be given to the song. —PC78 11:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Pulse (2001 film) → Kairo (film) —(Discuss)— Article has been moved twice in the last day, so it's clear there needs to be a consensus. There is no guideline on Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) for using a film's English title over it's original title, and I also cite Fucking Åmål where a consensus was reached on using that film's original title. Kairo is this film's original title, used in Japan and overseas; it wasn't known as Pulse until it's US release four years later. Kairo is perfectly understandable to an English reader, and it also distinguishes it from the American remake, Pulse (film).PC78 10:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC) —PC78 10:54, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Eddie Griffin (basketball player) → Eddie Griffin (basketball) —(Discuss)— The standard disambiguator (the parenthesized bit) for basketball players has decidedly been the abrogated (basketball), not (basketball player). This article has just been moved recently and as an active basketball-related editor I would prefer to have it moved back to its normal state, for the sake of consistency of a collaborative editing project such as Wikipedia. --Downwards 03:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• The Best Of... (Atreyu album) → The Best of Atreyu —(Discuss)— I am suggesting the move as that is what is on the cover —Will (Talk - contribs) 06:31, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  Amazon lists the product for presale as "The Best of Atreyu" ... will move.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 07:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  I reverted the change because according to Atreyu's page on Victoryrecords.com, the proper title is "The Best Of...", by Atreyu. Since this is the label putting this out, I believe that this is what we should go off of, not Amazon. --BoaDrummer 03:15, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Pine Rivers Shire Council → Pine Rivers Shire, Queensland —(Discuss)— The page was recently moved the other way, as I believe a misapplication of a guideline that all Australian LGAs should go at their official name. Some LGAs in NSW, for example Manly Council, have the word "Council" in them, but that is not the case in Queensland; the LGA is a Shire, and "Council" is used to refer to the governing body only. —FiggyBee 07:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• 7,92x57 mm → 7.92x57 Mauser —(Discuss)— Renaming and re-move in line with Wikiproject: Military History consensus on firearm calibre designations. Also, firearm calibres in English do not have commas. NB: This particular article had been moved to 7.92x57 Mauser after two weeks of no objections on the talk page, only to have a user- who had not lodged an objection during the initial discussion period- move it back to the incorrect title, hence the listing here to have it re-moved back to the "correct" title. --Commander Zulu 08:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Jim Bob Duggar → Duggar family —(Discuss)— Jim Bob Duggar is best known as the father of the Duggar family, which is well-known in popular culture for the sixteen children born to Jim Bob and his wife, Michelle. Jim Bob Duggar, despite his political career, does not seem to meet the standards for notability on his own. However, the Duggar family is sufficiently notable for an article. I have prepared an edit of the article that features the content about the family prominently. —Joie de Vivre 00:41, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Dnipro launch vehicle → Dnepr rocket —(Discuss)— Simple case of WP:NC/most common name - Dnepr is more common internationally than Dnipro. Google search results (see talk page) clearly illustrate this. —GW_Simulations_{User Page | Talk} 13:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Law of superposition → Principle of superposition —(Discuss)— The latter is more common in literature, and to provide consistancy in naming between the other Important principles of geology artilces found within Wikipedia. —+mwtoews 23:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Robson de Souza → Robinho Paulista —(Discuss)— Someone moved the page because the name Robinho not unique. But the currently Real Madrid player famous enough to just shorten to one word likes Ronaldo. —Matthew_hk tc 11:37, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• 9/11 conspiracy theories → 9/11 (alternative theories) —(Discuss)— Calling an account a "Conspiracy theory" is tantamount to saying that it is false and that the people who believe it are mentally defective. Instead of being prejudged like this, any particular account should be allowed to stand or fall on its own merits. —Ireneshusband 10:49, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
