Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

If you are unable to complete a move for technical reasons, you can request technical help below. This is the correct method if you tried to move a page, but you got an error message saying something like "You do not have permission to move this page, for the following reasons:..." or "The/This page could not be moved, for the following reason:..."

To list a technical request: edit the Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
If you object to a proposal listed in the uncontroversial technical requests section, please move the request to the Contested technical requests section, append a note on the request elaborating on why, and sign with ~~~~. Consider pinging the requester to let them know about the objection.
If your technical request is contested, or if a contested request is left untouched without reply, create a requested move on the article talk and remove the request from the section here. The fastest and easiest way is to click the "discuss" button at the request, save the talk page, and remove the entry on this page.

Uncontroversial technical requests

Yun Gwan (currently a redirect to Yun Kwan) → Yun Kwan (move · discuss) – Per WP:NCKO, pre-1945 Koreans titled via McCune-Reischauer Romanization. ⁂CountHacker (talk) 08:42, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@CountHacker WP:NCKO says to use go with the common usage in English sources. The two English sources in the article (Reuters and NYTimes) both use "Yoon Gwan". Of course, that said, Google ngrams doesn't even have data for anything other than Yun Kwan. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 20:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Did you try searching in Google Books? There are plenty of hits for Yun Kwan there. As seen here: [1], [2][3], [4], [5], [6]. WP:NCKO states that if there is an established common name, it should be used. However, in this case, there is no established common name, so the McCune-Reischauer — Preceding unsigned comment added by CountHacker (talk • contribs) 23 April 2024 (UTC)
xplane (currently a redirect to List of X-planes) → x-plane (currently a redirect instead to List of X-planes) (move · discuss) – disambig page should be for most common spelling (x-plane not "xplane") {{{sig}}} Nicole Sharp (talk) 12:25, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That's all very well, but is it the primary topic? I doubt it. This seems like a WP:TWODABS situation, and should stay as is. — Amakuru (talk) 17:14, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I already processed this one. My read of it was that we don't know the primary topic, so I swapped the pages (as the spelling for both seems to indeed be "x-plane", not "xplane", then I targeted Xplane to the dab, but if we need to change anything I still can. Not sure why it's listed twice here either. ASUKITE 17:19, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Gareth Edwards → Gareth Edwards (disambiguation) (move · discuss) – Revert controversial move done with no discussion, when previous discussion had been held Rugbyfan22 (talk) 18:57, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Contested technical requests

Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City) → Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City, New Jersey) (currently a redirect back to Statue of Jackie Robinson (Jersey City)) (move · discuss) – fixed disambiguator per naming Wikipedia naming customs Omnis Scientia (talk) 10:38, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this move needed? While there is a convention to include the state in naming articles for US cities/towns -- this does not necessarily apply to the parenthetical disambiguator. Consider, for example, Category:Culture of Jersey City, New Jersey -- there are several others using only "(Jersey City)" and the same can be found for many other US cities/towns. older ≠ wiser 11:41, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Jitendra Singh (politician, born 1971) (currently a redirect to Bhanwar Jitendra Singh) → Bhanwar Jitendra Singh (move · discuss) – Commonly used full name, that will remove the need for the unnecessary excessive disambiguation present at the moment. MrMkG (talk) 00:11, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@MrMkG I don't know too much about how Indian names/titles work, but only one of the sources in the article uses Bhanwar Jitendra Singh, while most just Jitendra Singh or Shri Jitendra Singh seem more common. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 14:48, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's like a first first name, if that makes sense. Some people have it. Shri is a honorific like Mister. Only two of the sources in the article are independent news sources and Bhanwar is used by one of them. News sources commonly use Bhanwar so that he doesn't get confused with another Jitendra Singh who is an active politician. Even if it were less used which it isn't, it would still be more accessible without the disambiguation (who knows birth years?). MrMkG (talk) 22:17, 18 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Cretan School (currently a redirect to Cretan school) → Cretan school (move · discuss) – Use sentence case title. Not usually capped in sources. Not the kind of school that is a proper name. Dicklyon (talk) 19:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Not what appears to be the WP:COMMONNAME in the sources:

What sources show that the MOS:AT understanding would be correct? microbiologyMarcus ^{[petri dish·growths]} 00:59, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Book n-gram stats show that capitalization is not nearly consistent. Dicklyon (talk) 04:30, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
