  • Israel–Hezbollah conflict (2023–present) → Israel–Hezbollah war (2023–present) – (Discuss) – First, there has been significant escalation in the recent weeks of this conflict. Israel has conducted widespread airstrikes on Lebanon, assassinated senior officials of Hezbollah, including its leader, and invaded Lebanon. This is not just a conflict anymore. Second, reliable sources that previously also called it a conflict are beginning to use the term "war". For example, The New York Times, Washington Post, and CNN have begun to label this a war. The case for this is strong, and "Israel-Hezbollah war" has been used more commonly than "Third Lebanon War", another proposed name for this conflict.

  • Over Your Dead Body → Over Your Dead Body (film) – (Discuss) – The little-seen (box office:$1.1 million) Japanese film does not appear to be primary since WP:ONEOTHER entry Over Your Dead Body (novel) is part of a popular series. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 22:32, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • United National Movement (Georgia) → United National Movement – (Discuss) – This article should be moved to "United National Movement", with the current "United National Movement" being moved to "United National Movement (disambiguation)" page. This UNM is clearly the largest, most significant and the only relevant one. It is additionally the only UNM which either has parliamentary representation or is not defunct. Large political party's such as Law and Justice have pages without stipulating the country as is is clearly the largest L&J party despite others existing in the world. UNM article should follow a similar example. Zlad! (talk) 21:26, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • First Periodic Review of Scottish Parliament Boundaries → First Periodic Review of Scottish Parliament boundaries – (Discuss) – to match 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies; by WP:LOWERCASE, MOS:CAP, and WP:NCCAPS, "boundaries" should be a common noun that should be lowercase; the Scottish Parliament has "constituencies" and "electoral regions" so boundaries; matching the title otherwise ([9]) would still be ideal DotCoder (talk) 20:52, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Quonset Hut Studio → Bradley Studios – (Discuss) – The studio that came to be known as the "Quonset hut studio" was the second of two studios (Studio B) at Bradley Studios. Bradley Studios was later purchased by Columbia Studios, who retained the "Quonset hut studio" as Columbia Studio B, but built a new Columbia Studio A as part of the Music Row complex. While Studio B has generally been known as the "Quonset hut studio", it's only part of the story of that recording facility, and even the historical marker at the site is about Bradley Studios and not only the "Quonset hut studio". Now that the article has been expanded to encompass Bradley Studios and later Columbia Studios, I think the article would more appropriately be named Bradley Studios, with a Redirect page for the "Quonset hut studio". synthfiend (talk) 22:27, 24 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans 19:03, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Postmodern television → List of postmodern television programs – (Discuss) – Article as written is a list of programs so would be better if the name reflected that RJFJR (talk) 02:45, 11 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • 2024 Israeli military operation in the West Bank → Operation Summer Camps – (Discuss) – While the operation has been given two names (by the two sides) "Operation Summer Camps" appears to be the name most widely used in sources. (Simply look up "Operation Summer Camps" vs "Horror of the Camps operation" in Google news to see what I mean.) Additionally, using the Israeli name of the operation is also in parallel to Operation Defensive Shield, which is, interestingly, the other big large-scale West Bank operation to which this ongoing one has been compared to.

  • Éric Borel → Cuers massacre – (Discuss) – This could go either way, but I think this article would be better scoped as an article on the event and not the perpetrator, given WP:BIO1E. Admittedly, a very large proportion of the coverage on the event is about Borel, so even as an event-based article it will probably still largely be about him, but given that he has no notability outside of it and how the event is covered I believe it will be easier to structure and improve as an event-based article. The common title for the event in French is "Tuerie de Cuers", literally Cuers massacre. There were killings in other locations but the sources call it this. This incident is usually referred to without the year in French given how notorious it was (I think it's the worst non-terror mass shooting in France), but admittedly is not too well known overseas so specifying the year may be necessary.

  • GoToGate → Etraveli Group – (Discuss) – GoToGate is a part of Etraveli Group and this article has been used to house information about Etraveli Group, to the point that this article now has two info boxes. Per the suggestion from FeldBum, I would like to make this move request and later propose a draft to re-shift the focus to Etraveli Group, which has more and better information about it in reliable sourcing, including in Reuters, Financial Times and Bloomberg. Sayna At Etraveli (talk) 09:01, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Larnoch Road murders → Killing of Leah Stephens – (Discuss) – All convictions have been overturned, with one defendant possibly facing a retrial.[10] Per the WP:DEATHS flowchart, this would seem to be an appropriate title pending any retrial that may take place. Muzilon (talk) 05:33, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Benjamin Abalos Jr. → Benhur Abalos – (Discuss) – Most RS use the name "Benhur". Examples Inquirer (Uses "Benhur Abalos Jr."), GMA, Rappler, Sun Star (Uses "Benhur Abalos Jr."), etc. "Benhur Abalos Jr." is also popular, even more popular than his birth name "Benjamin Abalos Jr,", but that's kinda wrong as his father was not named "Benhur". Howard the Duck (talk) 04:57, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • John Whitney (industrialist) → Major John Whitney – (Discuss) – I understand honourifics are avoided in article titles but Whitney is referred to as either 'Major John Whitney' or 'Major Whitney' in every source I've seen bar one. It also serves as a way to disambiguate the article without the current unnatural title Traumnovelle (talk) 03:08, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Chevalier d'Éon → Chevalière d'Éon – (Discuss) – I did not know about the controversial move procedure, apologies. The reasoning for the move remains the same as previously laid out without dissent having been voiced since (here) In short, the RfC from 2014 was inconclusive in establishing any concensus and since then it has been shown that d'Eon used female pronouns in referring to themselves in letters. The discussion on this talk page since has shown most users believe that this is sufficient to make the change. Given MOS:IDENTITY position on the presentation of transwomen lending towards a consistent portrayal in line with their gender identity, it follows that using the masculine form of the title as 'Chevalier' instead of the feminine form used after their openly announcing their female identity is not in line with the article title policy employed for any other transgender individual. Relm (talk) 01:41, 2 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Weak artificial intelligence → Narrow artificial intelligence – (Discuss) – the term "Weak artificial intelligence" is ambiguous and confusing, contrary to the term "Narrow artificial intelligence", which is basically AI designed for a narrow range of tasks. This is also most of what the article is about, although we could keep a section covering the term "Weak AI". The title "Narrow AI" can also be considered.

  • Power Four conferences → Power conferences (college football) – (Discuss) – While the "Power Five" conferences died with the old Pac-12, it's unclear and too soon to determine if this "Power Four" grouping has long-term significance in the 12-team playoff era. Reliable sources also alternately describe two tiers in the current power structure, with the B1G/SEC as "Power Two" conferences above the Big 12 (diminished by the loss of Texas and Oklahoma) and the ACC (with Florida State and others currently actively trying to break out of the conference). In the moved article, Automatic Qualifying, Power Five, Power Four, and Power Two would all be included as MOS:BOLDALTNAMES in the lead. Power conferences (college football) is a title that is inclusive of both the BCS / Power Five notable historic era that makes up much of the article and both options for the Power Four / Power Two current reality. This is supported by reliable sources:  :Washigton Post, 2023: The Power Five concept that existed for more than a decade is dead. The sport will be framed around the “Power Two” conferences and everyone else for the next decade. “Everyone else” includes a haphazardly assembled, coast-to-coast Big 12, which picked Utah, Arizona, Arizona State and former Big 12 member Colorado off the Pac-12’s carcass to compensate for losing Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC. Then there’s the ACC, whose East Coast members are leaning against annexing Pac-12 castaways California and Stanford. The article title Power conferences (college football) and/or Power conferences without disambiguation was supported by most participants in the recent requested move, with the closer stating While there's some suggestion that other names may be even better, there's no direct consensus on that... but there is consensus that the proposed name is preferable to the current name, so moved as specified. If people want to explore other moves in future RMs, they can go ahead. I'm doing that now. In my opinion the "(college football)" disambiguation is needed, as Power Six conferences atop the Mid-majors is a term that exists / existed in College Basketball.

  • Balancing Rocks → Balancing rocks of Zimbabwe – (Discuss) – As far as I can tell, this term is not really a proper noun for a specific place with balancing rocks or for a specific group of balancing rocks and is not unambiguous, as there are balancing rocks in a lot of other places besides Zimbabwe. The most famous ones in Zimbabwe are apparently in or near Matobo National Park and are sometimes called the Chiremba balancing rocks or the Epworth balancing rocks, and one particular group of such rocks is called the Mother and Child Kopje and is featured on the banknotes of Zimbabwe, but this article seems to be about balancing rocks in Zimbabwe in general. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:20, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Heavenly Delusion (TV series) → Tengoku Daimakyo – (Discuss) – Official international title, used by Disney VenezuelanSpongeBobFan2004 (talk) 18:06, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Spider-Boy (Marvel Comics) → Spider-Boy – (Discuss) – (also, Spider-Boy to Spider-Boy (disambiguation)). It's clearly the main use. Even if it was created recently, the character already has a self-titled ongoing comic book and has appeared in others. Spider-Boy (Amalgam Comics) is just a one-shot comic, that will never be used again because of its tangled copyrights (it's shared by Marvel and DC, two competitors that rarely release things together; the comic was clearly never meant to last for long), and Spider Boy (novel) is just a novel of borderline notability. Cambalachero (talk) 17:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • 2011 South Sudanese independence referendum → South Sudanese independence referendum – (Discuss) – The inclusion of the year in the current title is unnecessary disambiguation because this was the only independence referendum in South Sudan’s history. There are no other referendums of this nature that require disambiguation by date. Other Wikipedia articles related to referendums generally avoid using years in the titles unless there is a need to distinguish between multiple similar events. So, the simpler title is more appropriate and aligns with Wikipedia’s naming policies, mostly WP:CONCISE. 𝚈𝚘𝚟𝚝 (𝚝𝚊𝚕𝚔𝚟𝚝) 16:22, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • 2023 BC Port strike → 2023 British Columbia port strike – (Discuss) – When "BC" is used after a year name, it usually means "Before Christ", so the abbreviation should be expanded to avoid confusion. Also, "port" is not a proper noun, so it should be all lowercase. JsfasdF252 (talk) 16:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Decapod → Decapod (disambiguation) – (Discuss) – 'Decapod (disambiguation)' was created for the express purpose of redirecting to 'Decapod'. However, 'Decapod' clearly has a WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. 'Decapod' is the common name for the order Decapoda that houses all crabs, all shrimp, all prawns, all lobsters, and all crayfish. There are thousands of articles that fall under Decapoda and whose subjects can be called decapods. I've seen at this point several dozen wikilinks formatted as [[Decapoda|decapod]] because we direct to a disambig instead of a PT. At the bare minimum, even if a PT somehow isn't established, 'Decapod' would point to 'Decapod (disambiguation)', not vice-versa.

  • Ultra Street Fighter II: The Final Challengers → Ultra Street Fighter II – (Discuss) – Simpler common title and would hence follow the format also used in the articles Super Street Fighter II, Street Fighter II Turbo, and several others where the long full name isn't the article name. Sceeegt (talk) 15:00, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Parsley massacre → 1937 massacre of Haitians in the Dominican Republic – (Discuss) – As stated in the article and backed up by citations, the current article title has been shown by academic research to be a misnomer. Furthermore, it is less recognizable than a descriptive title and there is no evidence that it is the WP:COMMONNAME. (Although it's hard to count, from Google Scholar results it appears that the majority of sources about this topic are using some kind of descriptive title,[11] rather than Parsley massacre.)

  • Homoleptic → Homoleptic and Heteroleptic compounds – (Discuss) – Inclusive title Jeaucques Quœure (talk) 14:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Capros aper → Capros – (Discuss) – Per WP:MONOTYPICFAUNA, "Capros" is the best title for this article, as long as disambiguation isn't required. I think this is the case – i.e., this fish is the primary topic for "Capros". Capros is currently a disambiguation page, but the only other entry there is CapROS, which is WP:DIFFCAPS. Special:PrefixIndex/Capros also shows Capros River, but that isn't even mentioned at its target. jlwoodwa (talk) 23:24, 23 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Reading Beans 14:01, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Flag of Macha → Flags from Macha – (Discuss) – The current title is a bit misleading, firstly it discusses two flags, secondly "Flag of Macha" suggests that this is the official flag of that village, not a specific artifact found there. I know that the current title is technically correct, but since it's about flags, I think "Flags from Macha" would be a better option.

  • Tangier Incident (film) → Tangier Incident – (Discuss) – Sole such main title header, thus obviating need for the parenthetical qualifier "(film)". As for the entry delineating a relatively minor historical event from nearly 120 years ago, which is not known as "Tangier incident" and which currently does not carry a hatnote pointing to the film, a hatnote to the effect — "For the Tangier Crisis of 1905–06, see First Moroccan Crisis" — would suffice atop the film's entry. If consensus approves, a lowercase header — "Tangier incident" — could be created as a redirect to First Moroccan Crisis. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:43, 23 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. 98𝚃𝙸𝙶𝙴𝚁𝙸𝚄𝚂 [𝚃𝙰𝙻𝙺] 13:23, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel → Chenani–Nashri Tunnel – (Discuss) – Suggest title is widely accepted (WP:COMMONNAME) by the reliable sources [12], [13], [14], [15]. If you search the current title on Google, it will display Chenani–Nashri Tunnel [16] It seems the tunnel has been renamed to Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel but that can be fixed in the lead section as "Chenani–Nashri Tunnel, Officially known as Dr. Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel".

  • Czech Republic → Czechia – (Discuss) – So, this is a perennial topic, but we said we would return to it in October to re-evaluate in the light of the Olympics, which is the latest in a long string of contexts in which we have recently seen a rapid change in usage. Before we get into arguments on the details, can we perhaps first have clarity on the criteria? These are laid down at Wikipedia:Article titles. May I suggest that everybody read that before they comment here? I think we can save ourselves a lot of time if we all agree to follow policy. Past discussions have suffered a lot from misinformation about this. Assuming that a subject has more than one title in reliable sources, the choice should be made primarily on five key criteria (shortcut WP:CRITERIA): recognizability (defined to mean that someone familiar with the topic will know what is meant), naturalness (meaning people will find it in a search), precision (what is most correct), concision (fewer words are better than more) and consistency (the article title follows a similar pattern to other articles on parallel topics). The policy page then goes on to talk about the rule of thumb that it is helpful to find the most commonly recognizable name (shortcut WP:COMMONNAME), not as an end in itself, but because this will often shed light on what best meets the five criteria. The logic is that if experts in the field have come to a consensus on terminology, they will usually have alighted on something that is recognizable, natural, precise, concise and consistent. So for present purposes, common name means what is commonly used by relevant authoritative voices. It specifically does not mean we should follow whatever is statistically most commonly used by people on the street who may have limited familiarity with the topic, and the policy page warns against giving too much weight to Google hits and the likes. Rather, "[i]n determining which of several alternative names is most frequently used, it is useful to observe the usage of major international organizations, major English-language media outlets, quality encyclopedias, geographic name servers, major scientific bodies, and notable scientific journals." I hope we can agree on those principles. So how do they apply to this case? Here's my take. Czechia seems to me to fit all the five criteria, and on three of the five, it fits better than Czech Republic. # recognizability – both options are equally recognizable; we’re way beyond the point where anyone might not know what is meant by Czechia. # naturalness – this is subjective, but I think people will find us, so again I don’t think there is anything here to speak against the move. # precision – this one matters. The most correct name for a country or a people is the name it chooses for itself. The Czech government has asked the English-speaking world to use Czechia. That fact trumps all others on the question of correctness. # concision – one word rather than two is not a massive difference, but Czechia wins there too. # consistency with other articles – this is the biggie. I can’t think of any other country for which Wikipedia uses the long, official-sounding name as the article title when there is also a short, colloquial one. Actually, the policy page on article names specifically gives the example that we should use North Korea, not Democratic People's Republic of Korea. So our article title Czech Republic is a total outlier. So on precision and consistency there are strong arguments for a move, and the other three criteria certainly don’t speak against one. I think those arguments have been made and won long ago. The reason we have not had a consensus to change is because of judgments about what is the common name. In my opinion these have been problematic for two reasons. First, it has been repeated here like a mantra that common name is all that matters – in fact the policy page is quite clear that common name is subsidiary to the five naming criteria. And secondly, it has been treated as though common name means what is statistically most frequently used – sorry, but if we based this on a vox pop on the streets of Birmingham or Chicago, we would end up moving back to Czechoslovakia! Google hit counts can be part of our thinking, but not a big part of it. Rather, common name means: what is used by people professionally involved with the topic. Here we have to be careful to look at recent sources, because usage is changing fast. The policy page gives us suggestions for how to decide this, and if we follow these, the argument for Czechia now being the common name is beginning to look strong: # The usage of international organizations – it is significant that this is the policy page’s number-one pointer to common name, and here we have observed a landslide in the direction of Czechia in the last couple of years. It is now used by the diplomatic arm of the Czech government, the EU, the UN, NATO, the Council of Europe, the British Foreign Office, the American State Department, the CIA, the Olympics, UEFA, the Eurovision Song Contest, and many, many others. # Media – I don’t have an overview here, so I’ll let someone else discuss that, but I’m certainly seeing it in the newspapers. # Quality encyclopedias – I’m not sure there are any recent enough to reflect current changes. # Geographic name servers – A cursory survey suggests these usually recognize Czechia. I think the likes of Google Maps would be highly relevant here, and it now uses Czechia. # Scientific bodies and journals – My impressions are probably anecdotal, but the university people I know in Czech studies have been using Czechia for years. We see it prescribed in style-sheets for academic publishing. I’m sure there is a lot of evidence in both directions that other people can add here, but please concentrate on these kinds of authorities. Common name is NOT about hit-counts. Obviously even authorities who now prefer Czechia will still use Czech Republic wherever they would use French Republic or Republic of France. The point is not that the long form has gone, but that the short form is used when the short form of any other country would be used. I submit that for the most part, the relevant authorities have now reached that point. Doric Loon (talk) 04:32, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Siege of Gerona (disambiguation) → Sieges of Gerona – (Discuss) – Several issues I hope to address with these proposed moves. First, it makes little sense to have the "second" and "third" sieges as titles but to call the first event a battle; of the three is was the most like a battle, but the distinction is confusing in this case. It does seem that [ordinal] siege of Gerona is the most common manner of disambiguating the various events. If the first segment were to carry the WP:COMMONNAME "Battle" then it should not carry a parenthetical qualifier, being already WP:NATURALly disambiguated and the primary topic for the term; the base name Battle of Girona already redirects there and is WP:MISPLACED. Second, when used alone without additional context, "Siege of Gerona" does seem to refer to the successful final siege as a primary topic, and currently redirects there. I am proposing to leave this as a primary redirect and turn the disambiguation page into a set index at the plural, but I would also support having the set index in place of the redirect at the singular. Third, while I personally feel "Siege" in these titles is part of the proper noun, use in sources is mixed, and most "siege" articles on enwiki do not take siege as part of the proper noun (in contrast to "Battle of..." which is almost always part of the proper noun; I don't see the distinction) and WP:MILCAPS is vague, so for now let's go for being the most consistent. Lastly, as for the Girona vs. Gerona issue, there has been past move reversions and discussion about this (e.g. Talk:Third siege of Girona#Girona/Gerona), and we should reach consensus here. I am open to either spelling, but am proposing a return to Gerona because it does seem a majority of reliable sources use this spelling, and that is the criterion upon which we should base our choice. On the other hand, the modern spelling of the city is the Catalan spelling. Regardless, the set index/disambiguation page should use the same spelling as the articles. Overall, I am open to discussing and considering any and all variations of this proposal, but the status quo should not be kept. Mdewman6 (talk) 04:03, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Kingdom of Jesus Christ compound standoff → Arrest of Apollo Quiboloy – (Discuss) – Not a standoff, as the cops were allowed to get in; not a siege, because this was not in a warzone. The cops' mission was to arrest Quiboloy, and that should be the name of the article. Howard the Duck (talk) 02:44, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Kim Hyo-yeon → Hyoyeon – (Discuss) – Obvious case of WP:COMMONNAME. Subject has never used her full name professionally is widely known and referred to mononomously as "Hyoyeon". "Hyoyeon" is unambiguous and currently just exists as a redirect to this article. Only other option would be "Hyo", which she started using relatively recently, but "Hyoyeon" is still by far the most common way she is referred to by reliable sources. References to "Hyoyeon" in relatively recent English language reliable sources: The Chosun Ilbo [17], Korea JoongAng Daily [18], NME [19], Maeil Business Newspaper [20], VN Express [21], NME [22], United Press International [23], South China Morning Post [24], ABS-CBN News [25], In normal circumstances this could probably just be an uncontroversial WP:BOLDMOVE but there was a previous discussion 12 years ago that prevents this as a matter of policy - I'm surprised it's taken this long to be formally brought up again.

  • North American Soccer League (1968–1984) → North American Soccer League – (Discuss) – As the primary topic in both common use and long-term significance, I believe the original NASL should not need to be disambiguated while its short-lived reincarnation should remain disambiguated. The second league has been defunct for several years and most coverage in secondary sources in the past few years has been focused on the original NASL. SounderBruce 22:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Murder of Felicia Gayle → Murder of Felicia Gayle and execution of Marcellus Williams – (Discuss) – This article now contains more content sbout the execution of Marcellus Williams than the murder of Felicia Gayle. There are two victims here, Gayle and Williams; one most likely murdered by persons unknown, and the other a victim of unjust judicial killing, as criminal conviction requires proof beyond reasonable doubt. However, both topics are inextricably linked, precluding a split. For that reason, it needs to be renamed to cover both topics. — The Anome (talk) 13:06, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Nikola Kalinić → Nikola Kalinic – (Discuss) – This nomination is a follow-up to the recently concluded Talk:Nikola Kalinić (footballer)#Requested move 7 September 2024. Since English language does not use accents or diacritics, the default option in the creation of English Wikipedia disambiguation page main title headers should be to likewise not add those marks to such headers unless every entry on a particular dab page uses them. Thus, in the case at hand, Nikola Kalinić should redirect to Nikola Kalinic, rather than Nikola Kalinic redirecting, as it currently does to Nikola Kalinić. — Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 15:10, 17 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • Maratha Confederacy → Maratha Empire – (Discuss) – It was Maratha empire until the death of Madhav Rao in 1772, only after that it was called as Maratha Confederacy. All other sources call it as Maratha Empire. The area of control at peak was from Tamil Nadu to Peshawar, so it was called as Empire. Move was requested multiple times within short period, and last move [35] was closed by a non-admin. This is just revision of history by some wikipedia editors for propaganda, so as to diminish the importance of Marathas in the eyes of readers. Crashed greek (talk) 04:09, 24 September 2024 (UTC)
  • Portrait of a Man (Self Portrait?) → Portrait of a Man in a Red Turban – (Discuss) – or Man in a Red Turban or Portrait of a Man in a Turban (reverting to the title before an undiscussed move in 2007 suggesting a right to naming deriving from ownership) or Man in a Turban, or at least Portrait of a Man (possible self-portrait) or Portrait of a Man (Van Eyck possible self-portrait). There are several problems in the current title. One is that the disambiguator appears to be a redundant alternative title rather than a type classification or context clarifier. Another is the question mark indicating a lack of confidence about whether the painting's title should be "Self Portrait" or not (or whether the painting fits into the self-portraiture category or not). We shouldn't be using question marks this way. The use of title case and the lack of a hyphen in "Self Portrait" also seem questionable. See also the previous discussion of the title from 2011–2017 on the article talk page. —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 20:11, 23 September 2024 (UTC)
  • 2019 El Paso shooting → 2019 El Paso Walmart shooting – (Discuss) – Per WP:UCRN. Though at the time of the shooting (around 2019) the shooting was more commonly referred to as something in the vein of "El Paso shooting" by reliable sources, in recent years reliable sources trend towards calling it something akin to "El Paso Walmart shooting". Out of 50 articles published since 2020 about the incident, 42 mention Walmart in the title while 8 do not. The 'Walmart' aspect appears to be part of a commonly recognised naming convention, which should be reflected in the page's title. Reliable sources that tended to include 'Walmart' in their titles include CNN, PBS, BBC News, ABC News, AP News, The Independent, the Washington Post, NBC News and others. Local news sources, such as the Texas Tribune and El Paso Times, tended to also refer to 'Walmart' in their titles. I recommend '2019 El Paso Walmart shooting' as it fits other naming conventions. If needed, I can provide several of the referenced articles, though they can be found by Google search. Macxcxz (talk) 11:02, 15 September 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson → Horatio Nelson – (Discuss) – Per Britannica and WP:CONCISE there doesn't seem a need for the "1st Viscount Nelson" like Anthony Eden per WP:OBE given he's primary for this term.

  • Eryholme–Richmond branch line → ? – (Discuss) – Either Richmond branch or Richmond branch line – The line does not have any reliable references calling it Eryholme–Richmond branch line. Plenty of Mirrors and those who have used the name of the article in their webpages.[1][2] The railway was built in 1845 when the junction with the East Coast Main Line was Dalton Junction. This was re-named in 1901 to Eryholme Junction,[3] so by way of comparison, for the first 56 years of its existence, it would not have been called the Eryholme–Richmond branch line. There are different names, but those that state just Richmond branch with a lower case 'b' are: *[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The North Eastern Railway Civil Engineering Drawings List held at the National Railway Museum, has 22 references to Richmond, 17 of which state Richmond Branch (both capitalised), and others stating Richmond to Darlington, or Richmond to Eryholme.[14] *Just Richmond Branch Railway:[15][12] *Hansard refers to the the line when it was under threat of closure as the Darlington–Richmond Line.[16]
