Wikipedia:Requested moves/Technical requests

Shortcuts

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:..."

If you are here because you want an admin to approve of your new article or your proposed page move, you are in the wrong place.

If this is your first article and you want your draft article moved to the mainspace, please submit it for review at Articles for creation, by adding the code {{subst:submit}} to the top of the draft or user sandbox page instead of listing it here.
Because you are autoconfirmed, you can move most pages yourself. Do not request technical assistance on this page if you can do it yourself.
If you need help determining whether it's okay to move the page to a different title, then please follow the instructions at the top of Wikipedia:Requested moves.

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: 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.

Technical requests

Uncontroversial technical requests

Partners, Brothers and Friends (album) → Partners, Brothers and Friends (move · discuss) – Only disambiguating between an album and its title track. Generally, the album gets the un-disambiguated title and the title track gets "Title Track (song)". Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 16:11, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Requests to revert undiscussed moves

Contested technical requests

William Sloane (writer) → William Sloane (move · discuss) – The only other article titled William Sloane is a disambiguation page that exclusively links to people with middle names or initials in their article titles (William Douglas Sloane, William Milligan Sloane, and William A. Sloane). Sipiso (talk) 16:51, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

William Sloane (writer) does not get the majority of the pageviews and is unlikely to be the primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 21:47, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Buttock augmentation → Gluteoplasty (currently a redirect back to Buttock augmentation) (move · discuss) – The lead immediately names the procedure "Gluteoplasty" and I think it should fit the pattern set by Rhinoplasty and Vaginoplasty. I tried to move it myself, but it failed. Yyannako (talk) 20:39, 31 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Rather than just considering consistency with other articles, what is the WP:COMMONNAME? -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:25, 1 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - On the other hand, WP:MEDTITLE should be considered. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:11, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Medtitle vs Commonname would be MOS vs policy, I'd be inclined to think MEDTITLE would win here, and I would personally support Gluteoplasty, however that's without evidence being presented. Given the impasse, a discussion might be a good idea (there's also possibly the argument that the common name is Gluteoplasty, but I'm unsure) ASUKITE 16:23, 4 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yyannako There is sufficient discussion here that shows that this move is not entirely uncontroversial so an RM should be performed. cyberdog958^Talk 03:56, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Kanwaljit Singh (actor) → Kanwaljeet Singh (currently a redirect back to Kanwaljit Singh (actor)) (move · discuss) – His name was spelled and credited as Kanwaljeet in all of his movies 116.206.202.59 (talk) 07:28, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Recent move vandalism (and the reverts) indicate a possible controversy, I would suggest a discussion (you can click "discuss" above and fill in your rationale, then click submit/publish, or ask me and I can help) ASUKITE 18:21, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

St. Louis–style pizza → St. Louis-style pizza (currently a redirect back to St. Louis–style pizza) (move · discuss) – Include a hyphen insted of a dash Seasider53 (talk) 10:36, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
New York–style pizza → New York-style pizza (currently a redirect back to New York–style pizza) (move · discuss) – Include a hyphen insted of a dash Seasider53 (talk) 10:37, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Seasider53 These two titles correctly follow MOS:SUFFIXDASH and were determined by consensus in an RM discussion [1]. Toadspike [Talk] 10:59, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ajit (Hindi film actor) → Ajit Khan (currently a redirect back to Ajit (Hindi film actor)) (move · discuss) – disambiguation needed 103.87.143.97 (talk) 03:05, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The article was moved from Ajit Khan to Ajit (Hindi film actor) after discussion at Talk:Ajit (Hindi film actor)#"Ajit" or "Ajit Khan"?. I encourage you to discuss there if you want to object to the move. Annh07 (talk) 16:38, 6 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
