Appearance
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:..."
- Please make sure you really need technical assistance before making a request here. In particular, if the target page is a redirect back to the source page that has only one revision, you can usually move the page normally.
- To list a technical request: Uncontroversial technical requests subsection and insert the following code at the bottom of the list, filling in pages and reason:
This will automatically insert a bullet and include your signature. Please do not edit the article's talk page.
{{subst:RMassist|current page title|new title|reason=edit summary for the move}}
the - 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.

- James Burr V Allred (currently a redirect to James V. Allred) → James V Allred (currently a redirect instead to James V. Allred) (move · discuss) – As per ([1]) for purposes of CONCISENESS. Nirva20 (talk) 20:30, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Why not just James Allred? --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 21:00, 9 March 2024 (UTC)- James V Allred or James V. Allred appear to be the COMMONNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 21:23, 9 March 2024 (UTC)

- Why not just James Allred? --Ahecht (TALK
- Understood. I don't mean to be seen as nitpicking but a lot of that may be assumptions or just normal punctuation. These reliable sources indicate just "V" (see [2], [3], [4]). Nirva20 (talk) 01:20, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
- All three of those sources have a dot after the V in at least one place. — BarrelProof (talk) 01:48, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

- The fact that one source says something doesn't make it an unquestionable fact. Has this synonymization been accepted by most relevant authorities? — BarrelProof (talk) 23:33, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Cryptomartus hindi (currently a redirect to Anthracomartus) → Anthracomartus (move · discuss) – Synonymized according to Garwood and Dunlop (2011).[6] Probably enough to be genus article. Ta-tea-two-te-to (talk) 08:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

- Subdistricts of China (currently a redirect to Subdistrict (China)) → Subdistrict (China) (move · discuss) – WP:TITLECON with District (China). Cfls (talk) 00:47, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- @Cfls but there is also Towns of China and Townships of China? See also Category:Administrative divisions of China and Administrative divisions of China. It seems that District (China) may be the one that's out of place. – robertsky (talk) 07:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

Contested technical requests
- Xu Bin (footballer, born 2004) (currently a redirect to Xu Bin (footballer)) → Xu Bin (footballer) (move · discuss) – The other article (Xu Bin (footballer, born 1989)) that it's disambiguating (via Xu Bin (disambiguation)) doesn't yet exist (and likely won't) IDontHaveSkype (talk) 20:57, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- The other article that this is disambiguating from is 2020 China League Two. It does exist, and likely will continue to exist. It lists a Xu Bin as a top-scoring footballer in the league in 2020. — BarrelProof (talk) 23:29, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
- Guy_de_Téramond (currently a redirect to Guy de Téramond Peralta) → Guy de Téramond Peralta (move · discuss) – to avoid confusion of this biographical page with identical name of French writer in the French Wikipedia https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_de_Téramond 81.111.130.118 (talk) 12:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Unless and until the French writer has an article on the English Wikipedia, this article title is unambiguous. Adding "Peralta" simply for the sake of disambiguation also violates WP:COMMONNAME. 162 etc. (talk) 16:43, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Influencer (currently a redirect to Influencer) → Influencer (move · discuss) – Correcting the conflation of Internet celebrity and Influencer. Currently influencer redirects to the other term. TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 20:10, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- Has this gone through WP:AFC? 162 etc. (talk) 22:30, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- This should go through AFC in my opinion. I have my doubts of whether it would survive a deletion discussion. EggRoll97 (talk) 23:14, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have never gone through AFC unless a WP:COI. On what grounds would this be deleted. It should be clear that an influencer is different than an Internet celebrity, which is the point. Some internet celebrities are not influencers and some influencers are not internet celebrities. Thus, we need a new article. This is stub/start territory, but not AFD territory.-TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 04:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- @TonyTheTiger The place to discuss this would be the talk page for Internet celebrity. I see you tried and got no response, but you didn't use WP:PROPSPLIT, which would help. You could also let various related wikiprojects know about the discussion. -- asilvering (talk) 06:24, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- TonyTheTiger is well past the autoconfirmed threshhold and unlikely to have a CoI here. I fail to see why this would need to go through AfC, as AfC encourages established editors to create articles on their own. --Ahecht (TALK
PAGE) 16:32, 4 March 2024 (UTC)- Three editors have already expressed WP:N concerns, so this should definitely be discussed somewhere, and WP:RMT is not the best place for that. I see OP has opened a thread at Talk:Internet celebrity#Splitting article, but no discussion ensued. 162 etc. (talk) 16:47, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
- Understood, but AFC isn't the best place for that either. --Ahecht (TALK

- Main issue I see here is that content from Internet celebrity would need to be moved to the new article as well, rather than just a new page. As asilvering put it, proposing through PROPSPLIT would make most sense here, as I don't doubt there is enough content that already exists on IC to move to Inlufencer. Best of luck with it.

- RC Donau → Rugby Union Donau Wien (move · discuss) – Name of club changed, as evident by the page itself Kaihacker (talk) 10:35, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
- Hi Kaihacker, do you have any sources for this name change? They need to be reliable sources that are independent of the subject (so the main page isn't sufficient), that article has no sources as of now and could use them anyways. You can read WP:NAMECHANGES for info on what to look for. ASUKITE 15:44, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
