It has a sister university/institute National Institute of Technology Calicut which also has old name of city in the name like it. 175.184.252.190 (talk) 19:24, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

- Combined diesel-electric and diesel (currently a redirect to Combined diesel–electric and diesel) → Combined diesel–electric and diesel (move · discuss) – Correctness/consistently with e.g. Combined diesel–electric and gas (CODLAG) using ndash (unclear why the Move option was dropped; and help pages still refer to it. I want to update at Template:Combined-marine-propulsion and all other links to new fixed title.) 100.36.106.199 (talk) 18:09, 15 February 2025 (UTC) comp.arch (talk) 17:29, 15 February 2025 (UTC)

Requests to revert undiscussed moves
- Yenisey → Yenisei (currently a redirect back to Yenisey) (move · discuss) – Undiscussed sudden move followed by a simple search-and-replace throughout the article, always a warning sign. "Yenisei" is not a romanisation, it's the traditional spelling of the river in English; note that the category is still spelled with I. Florian Blaschke (talk) 17:33, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- Olomouc hlavní nádraží (currently a redirect to Olomouc main railway station) → Olomouc main railway station (move · discuss) – an unconsulted change with the community violating WP:UE. Paradygmaty (talk) 13:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
Contested technical requests
- Wikipedia community → Wikipedians (currently a redirect back to Wikipedia community) (move · discuss) – better name Astropulse (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)Astropulse (talk) 06:55, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- The current title indicates that the article covers larger phenomena than just the vague mass of people called Wikipedians. Also, "better name" according to whom? ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:37, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- This deserves a full discussion. * Pppery * it has begun... 16:41, 15 February 2025 (UTC)
- 2025 Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras season (currently a redirect to 2025 SE Palmeiras season) → 2025 SE Palmeiras season (move · discuss) – Per main article. Also for the previous seasons 2024, 2023,..., 2008. Svartner (talk) 02:15, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Svartner, are you suggesting to change the entire category of articles? ie. Category:Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras seasons. – robertsky (talk) 11:27, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, they changed the name of the main article and forgot to change the relative forks. Svartner (talk) 16:36, 9 February 2025 (UTC)

- Mason & Associates is invalid. Must create Mason & Associates before requesting that it be moved to IAMJAMES.– The company rebranded, this is the correct title now Jamesmasonusyd (talk) 00:46, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- Source? The company website is still referring to it by the old name. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 05:32, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Jamesmasonusyd This has already been contested on your talk page prior to this request, plus your article you created for this title has been denied. As such, this is a contested move and cannot be handled at this venue. You can start a full RM by clicking discuss next to your request above, but be prepared to present evidence that complies with WP:NAMECHANGE TiggerJay (talk) 05:45, 10 February 2025 (UTC)
- We need this a consensus for this per TiggerJay, and need a source that "IAMJAMES" is the new name of the company. ROY is WAR Talk! 21:59, 11 February 2025 (UTC)
- Note: This article is now up for AfD as it seems to fail GNG. Also of note is that this page has been largely copy-pasted to Draft:IAMJAMES which is currently held up for RS issues, which is the basis for the AfD of this source article. TiggerJay (talk) 15:31, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Garhwal Kingdom → Kingdom of Garhwal (currently a redirect back to Garhwal Kingdom) (move · discuss) – More appropriate when talking about kingdoms in the past. S.S Rautela (talk) 16:52, 9 February 2025 (UTC)
- I don't follow that logic at all... "Garhwal Kingdom" and "Kingdom of Garhwal" both seem to mean the same thing, with the former slightly more concise and ngrams not hugely conclusive.[2] I think I'd like to see a more concrete reason for this move if it's to be deemed uncontroversial. — Amakuru (talk) 10:05, 10 February 2025 (UTC)

- Hussein Sirri Pasha (1894–1960) (currently a redirect to Hussein Sirri Pasha) → Hussein Sirri Pasha (move · discuss) – Can't remove disambiguator due to pre-existing redirect. Apparently there was a dispute over how his name should be spelled, and this mess is the result. Regardless of whether it's "Sirri" or "Serry", he's the only person of that name with an article and doesn't require disambiguation. Sumanuil. (talk to me) 05:34, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Sumanuil Per your own admission the spelling is contentious, further evidenced, by the multiple page moves since 2016 and the recent edits today to the article itself. Seems like a clear case for a full RM discussion. TiggerJay (talk) 06:30, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- Mark to model → Mark-to-model (currently a redirect back to Mark to model) (move · discuss) – standardize with Mark-to-market Tule-hog (talk) 22:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
- The comparison is named Mark-to-market accounting so the hyphenation makes sense. Mark to model by itself would likely not need hyphenation. –CWenger (^ • @) 02:32, 13 February 2025 (UTC)
- Note it is hyphenated throughout the article regardless of an appended 'accounting'. Tule-hog (talk) 07:13, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

- Feldenkrais Method → Feldenkrais method (currently a redirect back to Feldenkrais Method) (move · discuss) – per MOSCAPS Primergrey (talk) 06:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- @Primergrey: You haven't provided any reason to believe that this phrase isn't "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of independent, reliable sources" (MOS:CAPS). A Google Ngrams search suggests that it likely is. This move is potentially controversial, so it would require a requested-move discussion. If you decide to open one, I would urge you to explain why you believe the standard of MOS:CAPS is not met. You can remove this request after opening a discussion (or if you do not want to continue). SilverLocust 💬 08:32, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- From the MOSCAPS page, phrases like "Hermitian matrix or Lorentz transformation, Down syndrome" are not capped. Every move is potentially controversial, so unless you yourself have a problem with it...Primergrey (talk) 09:50, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not so sure that MOS:SCIMATH applies to alternative medicine. And as noted here at Wikipedia:Requested moves/Controversial, the discussion process is used for potentially controversial moves. SilverLocust 💬 11:16, 14 February 2025 (UTC)
