Requested moves is a process for requesting the retitling (moving) of an article, template, or project page on Wikipedia. For retitling files, categories and other items, see When not to use this page.

Please read the article titling policy and the guideline regarding primary topics before moving a page or requesting a page move.

Any autoconfirmed user can use the Move function to perform most moves (see Help:How to move a page). If you have no reason to expect a dispute concerning a move, be bold and move the page. However, it may not always be possible or desirable to do this:

  • Technical reasons may prevent a move; for example, a page may already exist at the target title and require deletion, or the page may be protected from moves. See: § Requesting technical moves.
  • Requests to revert recent, undiscussed, controversial moves may be made at WP:RM/TR. If the new name has not become the stable title, the undiscussed move will be reverted. If the new name has become the stable title, a requested move will be needed to determine the article's proper location.
  • A title may be disputed, and discussion may be necessary to reach consensus: see § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves. The requested moves process is not mandatory, and sometimes an informal discussion at the article's talk page can help reach consensus.
  • A page should not be moved and a new move discussion should not be opened when there is already an open move request on a talk page. Instead, please participate in the open discussion.
  • Unregistered and new (not yet autoconfirmed) users are unable to move pages.

Requests are generally processed after seven days. If consensus to move the page is reached at or after this time, a reviewer will carry out the request. If there is a consensus not to move the page, the request will be closed as "not moved". When consensus remains unclear, the request may be relisted to allow more time for consensus to develop, or the discussion may be closed as "no consensus". See Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions for more details on the process.

Wikipedia:Move review can be used to contest the outcome of a move request as long as all steps are followed. If a discussion on the closer's talk page does not resolve an issue, then a move review will evaluate the close of the move discussion to determine whether or not the contested close was reasonable and consistent with the spirit and intent of common practice, policies, and guidelines.

When not to use this page

Shortcuts

Separate processes exist for moving certain types of pages, and for changes other than page moves:

Undiscussed moves

Shortcuts

Autoconfirmed editors may move a page without discussion if all of the following apply:

  • No article exists at the new target title;
  • There has been no previous discussion about the title of the page that expressed any objection to a new title; and
  • It seems unlikely that anyone would reasonably disagree with the move.

If you disagree with a prior bold move, and the new title has not been in place for a long time, you may revert the move yourself. If you cannot revert the move for technical reasons, then you may request a technical move.

Move wars are disruptive, so if you make a bold move and it is reverted, do not make the move again. Instead, follow the procedures laid out in § Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves.

→== Uncontroversial proposals == Only list proposals here that are clearly uncontroversial but require administrator help to complete (for example, spelling and capitalization fixes). Do not list a proposed page move in this section if there is any possibility that it could be opposed by anyone. Please list new requests at the bottom of the list in this section and use {{subst:RMassist|Old page name|Requested name|Reason for move}} rather than copying previous entries. The template will automatically include your signature. No edits to the article's talk page are required.

If you object to a proposal listed here, please re-list it in the #Incomplete and contested proposals section below.

Incomplete and contested proposals

With the exception of a brief description of the problem or objection to the move request, please do not discuss move requests here. If you support an incomplete or contested move request, please consider following the instructions above to create a full move request, and move the discussion to the "Other Proposals" section below. Requests that remain incomplete after five days will be removed.

Case Closed: Captured in Her Eyes → Detective Conan: Captured in Her Eyes
Case Closed: Countdown to Heaven → Detective Conan: Countdown to Heaven
Case Closed: The Phantom of Baker Street → Detective Conan: The Phantom of Baker Street
Case Closed: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital → Detective Conan: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital
Case Closed: Magician of the Silver Sky → Detective Conan: Magician of the Silver Sky
Case Closed: Strategy Above the Depths → Detective Conan: Strategy Above the Depths
Case Closed: The Private Eyes' Requiem → Detective Conan: The Private Eyes' Requiem
Case Closed: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure → Detective Conan: Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure
Case Closed: Full Score of Fear → Detective Conan: Full Score of Fear
—(Discuss)— Although a former RM request established the usage of the name Case Closed, the reason for that was there have been already English releases of the respective manga, anime, and movies (as in the case of Case Closed: The Time-Bombed Skyscraper and Case Closed: The Fourteenth Target) under the Case Closed name. The DC/CC movies nominated here, however, have never been released in English, and the Japanese maintain their naming with "Detective Conan." Thus, naming any of these movies with Case Closed is purely speculative and violates WP:CRYSTAL. --Samuel di Curtisi di Salvadori 04:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • David Ferguson → David Ferguson (UK) —(Discuss)—the requested move is requested by American promoter and arts impresario David Ferguson. A Wikipedia bio for this David Ferguson will be posted within the next 2 - 3 days. The reason for the requested move is that David Ferguson, the impresario, wants users to be able to type in just "David Ferguson" and be taken immediately / directly to his biography. A possible alternative would be that -- when a user types in "David Ferguson" -- the user be taken to a single page where both or all David Fergusons are listed. He, the Ameican David Ferguson, believes too much confusion will result if the user is expected to type in David Ferguson (Impresario) or if they, instead, are to directed to the lone David Ferguson on Wikipedia and have to locate and access a disambiguation link. -- User:JamesHX (talk)07:23, 30 April 2008

  • Katie Sierra → Katie Sierra suspension controversy —(Discuss)— The core focus of this article is not the life and times of Katie Sierra, but a specific series of events that occurred over the space of two years and revolved around a controversial suspension. Sierra is not notable independently of the controversy, for example as an activist or Rosa Parks-style figure. According to WP:BLP1E, biographies of individuals who are notable for one event only should be rewritten to focus on the event, not the person. --Skomorokh 16:35, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Gogmagog redirects to Gog and Magog. Looking at that article compared to Gogmagog (band), I'd say that it's good the way it is now. Grsztalk 01:06, 29 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One has nothing to do with the other. The redirect is improproperly targeted per WP:D and WP:R. The proposed move will eliminate both violations to the guidelines. B.Wind (talk) 03:14, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Worcester → Worcester, Worcestershire —(Discuss)— The town of Worcester, Worcestershire is simply not the primary topic for "Worcester", as Worcester, Massachusetts receives an average of over 5,000 readers more per month even with the UK city being located at Worcester. Since there is no primary topic, "Worcester" being the location of the disambiguation page is optimal. The current location of the articles is not in line with Wikipedia's naming conventions, as the UK town is not the unambiguous meaning of "Worcester" for the majority of readers. --Rai•me 21:52, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
