- Architecture of the Bahmani & Deccan sultanates (currently a redirect to Architecture of the Bahmani and Deccan Sultanates) → Architecture of the Bahmani and Deccan sultanates (currently a redirect instead to Architecture of the Bahmani and Deccan Sultanates) (move · discuss) – Remove the ampersand where the desired title already exists. Flemmish Nietzsche (talk) 20:05, 13 April 2024 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
Contested technical requests
- Apache Wars → Apache wars (currently a redirect back to Apache Wars) (move · discuss) – Per WP:AT and MOS:CAPS - not consistently capped in sources per JSTOR and google scholar. Cinderella157 (talk) 01:34, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- This one isn't necessarily clear cut. Unusually, Sources have been trending away from the lowercase version recently, and it's probably about on the border of whether it's "consistently capitalised in a siginifacnt majority of sources" at present.[1] Also, we never use Google scholar for assessing titles, we're a general encyclopedia not a specialist organ. — Amakuru (talk) 08:03, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
- Perhaps you never use Google Scholar in RMs. Books are not the only reliable independent sources. SilverLocust 💬 08:32, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- No, they're not the only ones, but in assessing common name, you need an objective sampling of the literature as a whole. Books gives you a reasonable guesstimate at that, while scholar results, which are very narrow, tell you nothing. Hence they're not used at RMs, while ngrams are. — Amakuru (talk) 23:40, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Arguing that people shouldn't use Google Scholar doesn't support the claim that "we never" use scholar. Google Ngrams is used much more often, but JSTOR and Google Scholar are two things that people sometimes look at in RMs in order to consider usage in journals (though you may prefer otherwise). "
Discussions about article titles commonly look at additional off-site sourcing, such as frequency of usage in news publications, books, and journals.

- Shake Your Moneymaker (song) → Shake Your Moneymaker (move · discuss) – Per WP:SMALLDIFFS, as this is the only item at the dab page without a space between "Money" and "Maker" Mach61 20:42, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Neutral on this, but the above reason better justifies moving the dab to Shake Your Money Maker [than moving the song to the base page name]. Rotideypoc41352 (talk · contribs) 21:54, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Rotideypoc41352 even if the dab were moved the song should still be moved over the redirect to the dab. Mach61 22:33, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- Per Shake Your Moneymaker (song), the song has been released as both "Shake Your Moneymaker" and "Shake Your Money Maker". Insufficient disambiguation. 162 etc. (talk) 22:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
- @Mach61: This move request has been contested and would require a formal Requested Move discussion on the article's talk page before it could be moved. If you wish to proceed, please click the "discuss" link in your request above. --Ahecht (TALK
