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: 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.

Contested technical requests

• Tulu Nadu → Tulunad (currently a redirect back to Tulu Nadu) (move · discuss) – correct name and most commonly used name മംഗലാപുരം (talk) 18:44, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Likely not uncontroversial. Please cite sources. 162 etc. (talk) 04:32, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

"Tulunad" had 2,84,000 search hits

[1]

"Tulu Nadu" had 1,40,000 search hits

[2]

Tulu wikipedia uses ತುಳುನಾಡ್ [3]

• ತುಳುನಾಡ್ = Tulunad
• ತುಳು ನಾಡು = Tulu Nadu

മംഗലാപുരം (talk) 05:20, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

@മംഗലാപുരം, we need sources that meet WP:RS, particularly ones that are independent of the subject in order to verify which title is the WP:COMMONNAME, typically search hits are a starting point for research, but not authoritative so thusly not sufficient for this. Wiki sources are also not sufficient. In this case, a discussion would be the best way to proceed, as if enough interested editors agree with the logic as to which title should be used, sources may not always be necessary (but they will most likely be needed anyways).

• Priyanka Gandhi → Priyanka Gandhi Vadra (currently a redirect back to Priyanka Gandhi) (move · discuss) – Almost all reliable news sources in India and abroad - and her own social media profiles use the name Priyanka Gandhi Vadra. She also uses it in her campaign material. Using her maiden name does not make sense for consistency in the article aswell. Rushtheeditor (talk) 23:56, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

  There was a move discussion concerning the titles five years ago, in addition, there are some sources which refer to the former title and other to the latter title, so the common name is disputed. ToadetteEdit (talk) 06:18, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

  But the source herself prefers to be called Gandhi Vadra. This is evident in all of her campaign materials. Her name discussion years ago is void as she wasn't in active politics then - and now will be a much more prominent figure as an MP. Her common name according to herself should be used to respect her decision. Rushtheeditor (talk) 23:22, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

  @Rushtheeditor: That's the sort of argument that should be made in a full requested-move discussion, not a technical request. jlwoodwa (talk) 05:28, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

• Snooze (SZA song) → Snooze (song) (currently a redirect instead to Snooze) (move · discuss) – Snooze (Agust D song) is non-notable. The disambiguation is unnecessary where a hatnote will suffice. QuietHere (talk | contributions) 23:22, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

  If the song is non-notable like you claim, then nominate it for deletion (though the song likely meets the notability guidelines for WP:NSONG). Otherwise there's really no reason to only partially disambiguate two "Snooze" songs; if we need to disambiguate then we might as well go the whole way.

• Neonoen → NeonoeN (currently a redirect back to Neonoen) (move · discuss) – The band stylize their name in this way Sekundenlang (talk) 15:58, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

  Stylizations are generally not used on Wikipedia. MOS:TMRULES I'd suggesting editing the lead sentence to indicate "(stylized as NeonoeN)" as a suitable alternative (MOS:TMSTYLE) RachelTensions (talk) 18:24, 28 November 2024 (UTC)

• Vinga, Romania → Vinga, Arad (currently a redirect back to Vinga, Romania) (move · discuss) – Every other article needing disambiguation in Category:Communes in Arad County is in the “Name, Arad” format. No reason to make an exception here. Biruitorul ^Talk 20:42, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

  WP:PLACEDAB asks us to use the country to disambiguate. More specific disambiguation is sometimes required if there is more than one place in a country known by that name. That is not the case for Vinga. 162 etc. (talk) 20:56, 29 November 2024 (UTC)

@Biruitorul Based on the above, this will need a discussion to move forward. If you wish, click the "discuss" button above, fill in your rationale and submit, or you can remove this thread if you change your mind. ASUKITE 21:45, 29 November 2024 (UTC)
